The Garnet Wager

Revolution is in the air as everyone starts to turn on ORBIT's populist strategy... including ORBIT?! Prison changes people, a strange room nerfs the IQ of its occupants, and sometimes us older folks get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. The Devil's Plan is past the halfway point, building to a climax, and while it's not the show we hoped for at the beginning, they

Devil's Plan stock is rising! Probably. Six and Allen are certainly hotter on these eps, even if Nick is less confident. After a treacherous main match, Nick blows up with his frustrations at how the games are run, and then we all get to calm down with some nice guava and avocado for a special spelling game. ...Hang on have I had a guava before? I've definitely had like, guava in S

The honeymoon is over. This time on The Garnet Wager, we watch two episodes of The Devil's Plan because we're desperate for material, there's infighting, there's bitterness. See what you've done to us, Netflix? Our artwork is a commission from the amazing Bitmap Prager! Please enjoy seeing Scanline-chan as the Bandage Man, and consider checking out more of Bitmap's work!

God was not willing. That was not quite the end of an era. But we went from four months down to two, and next we'll go from two to one! Mark my words. With episode 2, we conclude the first day of The Devil's Plan, and... hey wait. There is literally a character called The Devil. What do you think the odds are that he has a plan of note? Or is just a fun name? I guess time will t

God willing, this episode marks the end of an era. The era of these episodes taking FOREVER. We're planning to get on a more regular schedule- probably monthly, but no promises. Let's solve a mystery, gang. Let's watch a new show. Let's find out it's REALLY GOOD. We're so back. Our artwork is a commission from the amazing Bitmap Prager!

Well, we were feeling a bit down on the show we'd chosen to watch last episode. But this time, we had a much better time! Turns out, a little time and a positive attitude is all you need! Meanwhile, in the tabletop game, Allen and Nick are closer than ever, but FEEL more lost than ever. How will our GM get them back on the trail?! Well I don't know, I'll have to figure that out bef

On this episode of Society Game... well. Look above. You might get the picture. In wake of this, we resort to drastic measures to keep the episode discussion segment lively. But the mystery needs no such help. Our artwork is a commission from the amazing Bitmap Prager! Please enjoy seeing Scanline-chan as the Bandage Man, and consider checking out more of Bitmap's work!

Well, see... NOW it's a season of The Garnet Wager. I (Six) may not be any hotter on the show we're covering than last time, but the plot threads are being woven. We're solving a murder. We're talking to (fictitious) government officials. And who could forget the semi-headless chicken. Our artwork is a commission from the amazing Bitmap Prager! Please enjoy seeing Scanline-chan

The Garnet Wager returns to extend its reach beyond the confines of the Genius for another season of Korean TV, meta-narratives, and garbage. This season, we're watching Society Game, a product of the same mind that brought us The Genius. It's a slow start for this show, but perhaps this one can win us over. If not, well... I have some ideas, let's say. Our artwork is a commissi

There are a lot of elements of Haruhi that loom large over culture. The characters. The dance. The nonlinear storytelling- well, of the anime, since the light novel doesn't do that. But there is one that is spoken of in dark tones: the Endless Eight. What if you essentially made the same episode of anime eight times, but with like... startling production value? It's a truly bizarre
