Remember when the 8-bit NES was king? And if you knew all the secrets and tricks you were the coolest kid on the schoolyard? Al remembers those days. Well, he doesn't ever remember being the coolest kid on the schoolyard but he does remember when knowing a cheat code or how to beat that annoying boss on level 5 could win you a few friends. In this episode Al reviews the Nintendo Player's Guide, a big black book with all sorts of useful information.
NOTE: This episode was completely off the cuff and unplanned. I mention the book being a pack in with some of the Nintendo sets. I might be wrong on that.

They are known by many names: kata, pinan, taolu, hyung, aka, quyen, or simply forms. Other people call them useless. But are forms really a waste of time? This is a question Al and Marcus have differing opinions on. This episode we discuss our experiences with forms and whether or not they are an important part of martial arts training or if they should be swept into the dustbin of history.
