Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast--your source of geekly entertainment!
Well, here we are, the last episode of Season 2... it's been a blast, filled with memorable moments, exciting trivia games, and more dumb jokes than an amateur stand-up club. Thank you to all you listeners out there who've come along with us for all this crazy stuff.
Okay, enough sad things! In honor of this being the season finale, David and Seth decided to test their friendship with a trivia game to see just how well they know each other. Let's just say... it doesn't end well. (Spoilers: both of them were really tired and anyway something just seems off.)
David's Fun Fact:
This episode has actually been in the works since Improvapalooza, but since it was so funny when we recorded it we decided to save it for the last episode of Season 2. I do a majority of the post-production for these episodes, and this is the hardest episode I've had to edit yet because I was laughing so hard. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast--your source of geekly entertainment!
Taking cues from our last episode, it's another trivia game! With returning guest Andrew, come along as Seth and David (maybe?) dive deep into the lore of Avatar: The Last Airbender with some improvised quizzes and fact-finding challenges of dubious quality. Beware spoilers again for this excellent show, as well as confusingly-worded questions, nonsensical statements, and Seth barely keeping himself awake!
This episode features returning guest Andrew, a geologist from Massachusetts who's now seen The Last Airbender at least four times all the way through. Can you say "dedication?"
David's Fun Fact: Our original plan for this episode was to talk about anime, another subject Andrew is well-versed in. Once we got into the studio, though, we decided that since we'd talked about Avatar with Andrew back in Season 1 (and before I'd seen it all), it would be fun to discuss it again with some trivia thrown in for good measure.

Heyyy, welcome to the GNAPcast--your source of geekly entertainment!
Here we go again with another Google Autofill game, this time centered on the much-beloved puzzle series Portal! (As such, this episode contains heavy spoilers for both Portal and Portal 2. You have been warned.)
Join Seth and David as they ask Google (and each other) insightful questions about gaming's dumbest robot, gaming's most cake-loving robot, and possibly the worst company CEO of all time--looking at you, Cave Johnson.
Fact Checks & Extra Stuff! - David
"Does Wheatley Love Chell?" -- Isaac Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics
"Is GLaDOS Evil?" -- All we had to do was pull that lever
"Is Cave Johnson a Real Person?" -- More of J.K. Simmons' memorable voice roles
"Is Cave Johnson a Real Person?" -- The famous lemons rant
David's Fun Fact: In the Portal games, abusing the camera is one of my favorite pasttimes! I used detached cameras to speedrun two different test chambers in Portal 1--Chamber 17 (using only two portals and a camera stacked on the Companion Cube), and Chamber 18 (cleared in 47 seconds using a detached camera to prop open the door).
