Episode 406 - Chronicles of the Mad Dog Squadron, chapters 3-3b

Episode 406: Chronicles of the Mad Dog Squadron, chapters 3-3b

The wizard appeared as if by magic.

It’s time for more of the zany misogynist gatekeeping antics of the Mad Dog Squadron! In this chapter our whacky heroes crush a young girl’s dreams by telling her that she’s doing magical wizard aeroplanes wrong and that she should give up on idealism and all that she’s ever hoped for. But that’s fine because they’re the good guys and thus everything they do is entirely justified. And at the end of the day we learn a valuable lesson in that casual sexism is perfectly okay as long as you can beat somebody in a dogfight and that racist imagery isn't problematic as long as you use it ironically. So buckle in and cry yourself to sleep for the second portion of Chronicles of the Mad Dog Squadron. Now with tea!

Episode 405 - Chronicles of the Mad Dog Squadron, chapters 1-2

Episode 405: Chronicles of the Mad Dog Squadron, chapters 1-2

Look out, it’s a squad of invisible magic Nazi planes he said with an entirely straight face.

Magical wizard aeroplanes fight robot skull Nazis! Yes, I am saying that with an entirely straight face, so that can only mean one thing; another Rifts fanfic. And what a treat it is, as we’re introduced to Mad Dog Squadron, a force of utterly forgettable nobodies who are defined solely by what vintage aircraft they pilot and led by an utter creep who you’ll want to punch within seconds of meeting. So join this force of designated protagonists fight a war of incredibly boring one-sided battles in the name of preserving a sinister magocracy that’s in league with eldritch abominations while listing weapons calibres and drink ingredients. It’s a lot less exciting than it sounds!

(Also there may be a girl. Maybe. We’re not sure)
