This week, I’m joined by all new guests: Anthony Conta, Francisco Gonzalez, and Emily Hughes. We’ll be stretching the definition of eSports even more today than usual with Cards Against Humanity. I've created a custom ban list that removes “othering cards” (those few cards that single out individuals for born characteristics), rape-related cards, and cards making light of mass killings. You can see the full suggested ban list here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ag7hPqV7IT4DdFFfdFlGRkhmczdoMVBLSlFLVHc4YUE&usp=sharing
