The Lava Pool

Rules are out! So Sam, Chalkey, and Gabby bring in CP leader Omari (BadIntent) Travis to go over everything you need to know. Namely Dark Void, the new time limits, the early metagame, and tacos.

X and Y are out!!! But before we get to that Sam is joined by Chalkey and Toler to talk about the final regionals for BW2. Then Gabby and Blake almost but not quite stop playing XY long enough to talk about the games. Download Standard Podcasts

Better late than never, we hope. Before these episodes are entirely irrelevant we figured it would be best to put these up uncut and unedited. What it lacks in audio quality it makes up for in guests. Join DrFidget along with US nats winner KingofKongs and runner up Human, benji, dimsun, and Gavin’s keyboard right after nationals. Then stick around for a lowkey post worlds wrap up with Shiloh, JTK, Rina, and Chalkey.Download Standard Podcasts

We have a monster of an episode for your trip to nats this week.

Podcast editing is no picnic, but recording echos, hard drive failures, and PC blue screens can’t stop The Lava Pool. They can delay it quite a bit though.
