Morgan and the Golden Dunk - Ep. 70
"Timeout!!!"
The players trot to the bench, perspiring and exhausted, yet feeling determined and anxious. A few of the players look up at the scoreboard. It reads, 62-62 with 0:11 seconds left. The coach pulls out a whiteboard with some colored magnets, and he places them into position. He begins to whip them around the board, talking strategy of defense and offense. The players crouch over the board, as sweat drips from their brows and rains down onto the hardwood floor of the court. Holding their knees, they nod their heads as the coach fills their mind with a final play.
The coach gives them players a few short words of encouragement. "One stop," he says. Fatigue threatens to creep into the players' muscles, but the adrenaline of the close game keeps them alert and ready. The referee blows his whistle, filling the gym with the piercing sound of the game continuing. The players of both teams flood the floor. Each one begins to concentrate on what they need to do, focusing all of their minds on this moment.
The opposing team's player receives the ball out-of-bounds from the referee. The referee blows his whistle again. The opposing players begin their practiced movement, performing a play to get their star player the ball. It is successful, as the opposing star player grabs the ball. The defender stays in front of the star, shuffling his feet and keeping his hands out wide with his butt low. The star player fakes going left before tossing the ball to the right in a quick crossover move. The defender goes for the fake, leaving the star player with a straight drive to the hoop.
The star player looks up. 4 seconds left! He sprints to the basket as he dribbles, eyeing the rim with his peripheral vision. He picks up his dribble just below the free throw line. One defensive player, Morgan, steps away from his man to block the star player's drive to the hoop. He shuffles over, gathers his footing, and jumps straight into the air as the star player himself begins to jump. The star player soars above the defensive Morgan, catching him with his body. Morgan goes flying to the side, face frozen in anguish. The star player throws down a sick windmill dunk, shaking the rim and backboard. The ball flies through the net and smashes Morgan in the head as he lies on the ground in pain. The ball scares him and puts him further in pain. The shock of the pounding of the ball causes Morgan to piss all over himself and the court as he is knocked unconscious. The gym roars in cheers as the opposing team celebrates. Morgan's team mates rush over to help him, but see the puddle of urine and leave him soaking himself.
This week is completely jam-packed with content, as the end of the year approaches. First, we focus on the brief announcements of the PSX convention. We somehow manage to fit in talk of Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, Resident Evil 7 DLC, Hollow Knight, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Nier: Automata. We also cover Fish's Amiibo addiction, a bio break article involving chimpanzees and viruses, and a fantastic listener question. Enjoy the newest episode of the Chompcast, and as always, thanks for being a part of our community.

Perturbing Animals - Ep. 68
You arrive at your camp, having traveled through forest and plains to reach it. You are exhausted, but the thrill of a new adventure reinvigorates you, encouraging you. In the clearing, you see a creature with its back turned to you. It seems to be busy, but with what, you do not know. You stroll over to it, ever curious. A yelp in fright greets you as the creature turns to face you. A dog!
The dog, having realized who you are, begins to wag its tail. This dog is peculiar, as it is standing on its two hind legs. It walks over to you, very human-like, and says hello. You are initially taken aback, having never met a talking animal before. It extends its paw, offering a shake of friendship. You grasp the paw in your own hand, shake it, and offer a warm hello in return.
The dog seems very happy to see you. It begins to show you around the campsite, as your excitement is building and building. It offers to help you with the formation of your camp, which you readily accept. The dog recommends that you build couches. Lots and lots of couches. You think to yourself, why? Why couches? You decide to go with the dog’s advice, and you build 10 different couches. The dog, ecstatic, lowers himself to all fours, and begins to run across the couches, hopping from one to another in frantic disarray. You watch in confusion and amazement as the dog runs and jumps for 5 minutes. Finally, it begins to settle down, as it falls asleep on a couch. You chuckle to yourself, and you set down your pack.
This week on the Chompcast, we have a fun and slightly contentious episode packed with talk of Animal Crossing mobile, Pyre, and Legend of Zelda: BotW. Our topic of the week is the recent controversy and the aftermath of EA, and how it affects the gaming medium as a whole. Lastly, we tie it off with a Bio Break of a fish that lives deep in the Mariana Trench.
