  • Random Food Tangent
    Jun 21 2026

    Ben and Trevor take a significant detour from their usual routine this week, embarking on an unusually large and lengthy exploration of culinary possibilities. They spend a considerable amount of time debating the merits of "fusion" foods like meatloaf Swiss rolls with relish, various international-style burritos (including spaghetti, pizza and HSP varieties), and the precise technical requirements for the perfect piece of toast involving Vegemite and cheese.

    Despite the heavy detour into food science, they still manage to play a few rounds of Click Pitch to develop some game designs:

    • A tactile investigation into document forgery and provenance
    • A competitive county fair game involving the production and judging of prize-winning sausages
    • A high-stakes logistics simulation for packing grocery bags under specific environmental conditions
    • An investigative game where you must find out why solar systems are being wiped out in a section of the milky way, and we are headed to that spot.

    • A political campaign simulator involving complex social interactions and automated systems;
    • A narrative-driven legal drama where you play as a juror trying to navigate a conspiracy.
