With special guests Ninja Dan and the toucher of Scoob's "wee wee" Kayla, we discuss net neutrality and the vote occurring on December 14 in the US- what exactly it is and the implications it could (and probably will) have. Side topics include the new trailer for the Avengers, and Moreland's genitalia. This episode be prepared for a healthy dose of seriousness as net neutrality is a concern that shouldn't be taken lightly; no one should remain neutral on net neutrality. Also, five bucks says Scoob cries at the new Avengers movie.


For more of the rotation, check us out on Facebook at The Free Rotation Podcast, Twitter @thefreerotation, and YouTube and Twitch at TheFreeRotation, unless net neutrality is abolished, then you can find us behind a paywall!

We delve into our experiences from the Lost Episode, which was the podcast's take on MTV's "Fear." What was initially a silly episode in which we thought nothing would come out of it other than funny stories and maybe an experience or two turned into something darker and scarier. Similar to being stranded on a purgatorial island, we reflect on what happened and why it's affected us so much. You may be tempted to disbelieve or brush off our experiences but we encourage you to listen with open minds. Also, be sure to ask for the haunted Ouija board (we all don't want anything to do with it ever again).

We also discuss Heroes and Villains throughout the DC and Marvel universe, along with snippets from our foray at Heroes and Villains Fan Fest in Atlanta! Also, our Patreon explained!...kind of. Sort of.

Aaron, our friend and resident actual barbarian, joins us for an in-depth discussion into the differences between roleplay and roll play and how the two are often intrinsically related to one another. Everyone plays an active role even in their own life but luckily we have games where we can roll stats to suit the role we wish to play, whether it's stat build domination or putting the character in the character. Don't let the big words and excellent punctuation fool you- this episode is filled with the chicanery and levels of goblin speak to which you are accustomed.

To jump into the rotation, make sure to like us on Facebook at The Free Rotation Podcast, follow us on Twitter @thefreerotation, and check out our hosts attempting to be professional gamers on Twitch and YouTube at TheFreeRotation! (Spoilers: we're not really professionals).

In this episode, join the Free Rotation hosts as we talk about movies vs their original form (books, manga, video games, series). Admittedly, this is an enormous topic but we are small minded enough to narrow it down to the ones that no one cares about- except us! How did books to movies like The Giver, IT, and Twilight stand up... wait.. did we talk about that?! The answer is fifty shades of "oh, yes, we did!"

Play along with the Free Rotation Dungeons and Dragons one-shot as we introduce a new member to the cast of the campaign "Skitzsy and the Chicken Wings." Set in a D&D escape the room, how will our "heroes" foil the room's many traps and find their way out? Who exactly is the new guy, Cajoon? Why did Maeve decide to do THAT with the key item to keep it safe? There are more questions than answers in this strange episode!

To put on a sandwich or not to put on a sandwich? That is truly the most time honored and sacred of questions. What even constitutes a sandwich? No, we aren't joking; we take our sandwiches as seriously as we take our games. Do you feel lemon zest will bring out the flavor of your tuna salad? Will Armageddon break out over the battle between Miracle Whip and Mayonnaise? It's all part of the elusive search for the perfect, defined sandwich.

Shout out to The Club: A Sandwich Podcast as the inspiration for our sandwich exploration, and we are proud to announce we are now a part of the WeBeGeeks Podcast network! For more geeky-related podcast content, check it out at: http://www.webegeekspc.com.

The Free Rotation sits down this week to discuss the new nostalgia television... what is nostalgia to us and our viewers. What makes you fondly remember a show and what shows do we think will stand the test of time? Our in depth discussion falls off the rails where we found Thomas the Tank Engine and then capsized where we discovered the Love Boat. The episode also served with salt a la Rick & Morty.
