The Incomparable Game Show

Time for another Fiasco! This time our collaborative storytelling game goes to a research station in Antarctica, where there are penguins and broken relationships and illegal medications, as you might expect. Tony Sindelar with Erika Ensign, Brian Hamilton, Dan Moren and Kathy Campbell.

Welcome back to “Inconceivable!”, the show that tests two teams’ knowledge of the nerdy, the useless, and the obscure. For this episode, recorded live at the World Science Fiction Convention in San Jose, CA, it’s a North American face-off, as Team USA takes on Team Canada. The panelists must identify fictional foods, figure out what character a group of actors have in common, and play a little game of musical mash-ups. Helene Wecker, Adam Rakunas, and Navah Wolfe represent the U.S. while Warren Frey, Erika Ensign, and Steven Schapansky fly the Canadian flag.

It’s time once again for Low Definition, a game show featuring a panel of guests trying to guess the definitions of dumb words. In this episode we borrow a book from a Little Free Library, go to see an American movie in Italy, and try to figure out nerds. Steve Lutz with Brian Hamilton, Chip Sudderth, Kathy Campbell, Tiff Arment, Monty Ashley and Adal Rifai.

Cruel Brit Antony Johnston uses nostalgia-filled trivia meant for nostalgic UK players to confuse a collection of non-nostalgic North Americans. Antony Johnston with Erika Ensign, Steven Schapansky, Steve Lutz, Jason Snell and Dan Moren.

Welcome back to “Inconceivable!”, the show that tests two teams’ knowledge of the nerdy, the useless, and the obscure. It’s a nail biter this time around, as our panelists try to identify movies of the NATO alphabet, attempt to determine which items come next in mysterious sequences, and decipher mashups of movies and…stores? Shannon Sudderth, Justin Michael, and Kathy Campbell tee off against rivals Antony Johnston, Aleen Simms, and Steve Lutz.

Inside a clerk’s office in a hotel in the old west town of Boomtown comes a story so dramatic and confusing that it must have been made up on the spot. Join host Tony Sindelar as he guides four players through a tale of greed, betrayal, and weird old-timey accents in the improvisational game Fiasco.

We return with yet more stupid guesses about your stupid answers to our stupid questions! Two “families” of Incomparable panelists compete for glory and adulation, and also something about Cool Cat. Jason Snell with Brian Hamilton, Dan Moren, David J. Loehr, Erika Ensign, Jean MacDonald, Tiff Arment, Mikah Sargent and Steve Lutz.

Based on a survey of Incomparable listeners, it’s time once again for a battle between two “families” of podcast panelists, who will attempt to guess the strange answers our listeners gave to innocuous questions! Along the way we’ll build a hamburger, discover monsters, and ponder the mysteries of Benedict Cumberbatch. (Kathy had the baby the next day. She has returned to Team Pacific Northwest.) Jason Snell with Glenn Fleishman, Kelly Guimont, Monty Ashley, Aleen Simms, Shannon Sudderth, Tony Sindelar, Cicero Holmes and Kathy Campbell.

On this episode, we play the new game, You Think You Know Me, created by Ami Baio, a card game in which you win by knowing facts and beliefs of the people with whom you’re playing. If Cards Against Humanity is “a party game for horrible people,” You Think You Know Me is somewhere on the other end of the scale. This trans-Atlantic episode features notable cultural confusion, accidental personal insights, and discussions of mortality! Hilarity, as they say, ensues. Glenn Fleishman with Antony Johnston, Dan Moren, Kathy Campbell, Lizbeth Myles and Tony Sindelar.

Welcome back to “Inconceivable!”, the show that tests two teams’ knowledge of the nerdy, the useless, and the obscure. Smug and acrimonious are the watchwords in this installment, as our two teams butt heads while trying to figure out the difference between medieval weaponry and dairy products, identify Star Trek movie scores, and expand some tricky abbreviations. Mikah Sargent, Alyssa Franke, and Chip Sudderth team up to take on Kelly Guimont, Brian Hamilton, and Liz Myles for bragging rights.

We return to the game of strange words, stranger idioms, and the strangest mixed drinks of all time! This time we dip our toe into international waters, with three European guests who join us in being flummoxed by the English language. But it turns out that the strangest thing about Low Definition may be the listeners themselves… Steve Lutz with Anže Tomić, James Thomson, Lizbeth Myles, Brian Hamilton, Jason Snell and Monty Ashley.

Welcome back to “Inconceivable!”, the show that tests two teams’ knowledge of the nerdy, the useless, and the obscure. Recorded in front of a live audience at Emerald City Comicon 2018! Warning: This episode contains explicit language. Two teams of all-star authors face off for our second-annual ECCC show. They’ll have to tell us the difference between everything from medieval weapons to astronomical phenomena, figure out famous books with letters missing from the end and, oh yes, we made them sing. K.C. Alexander, Curtis C. Chen, and Alex Wells take on Eric Scott Fischl, Delilah S. Dawson, and Adam Rakunas while host Dan Moren and guest scorekeeper Glenn Fleishman try to keep everyone in line.

It’s a text-adventure journey into horror, as our human players enter the mental hospital in search of the truth about their sister. They’d better tell the computer to SAVE GAME every now and then. You never know what might happen… Tony Sindelar with Aleen Simms, Justin Michael, Monty Ashley, Steve Lutz, Brian Hamilton and Dan Moren.

Look, not every Game Show features a bunch of us in a room in person drinking alcohol and answering trivia questions. But this episode, recorded live in Los Angeles at the Gallifrey One convention, absolutely does. The explicit box has been checked, so go to bed, Glenn’s kids, as Erika Ensign asks us trivia questions from a randomly shuffled set of cards from a dozen different Trivial Pursuit games. Erika Ensign with Deborah Stanish, Steven Schapansky, Chip Sudderth, Shannon Sudderth, Lizbeth Myles, Steve Lutz and Jason Snell.

And again we cross the pond to Jolly Old Blighty, where Antony Johnston will confuse and confound a collection of North Americans with questions about the United Kingdom in the 1980s. From Andrew Ridgeley’s bandmate to old BBC sitcoms, we have literally no idea what Antony is on about. Antony Johnston with Aleen Simms, Erika Ensign, Glenn Fleishman, Kathy Campbell and Jason Snell.

We’re back with more random trivia from random trivia games! Now even more random, with the addition of even more editions of Trivial Pursuit! Erika Ensign with Aleen Simms, Kathy Campbell, Marisa McClellan, Monty Ashley, Scott McNulty and Steven Schapansky.

Welcome back to “Inconceivable!”, the show that tests two teams’ knowledge of the nerdy, the useless, and the obscure. In our latest episode, our panelists are challenged to remember the dying words of memorable characters, try to figure out which heroes we are unjustly maligning, and then play a round of TV and movie mashups…with a fresh twist. Liz Myles, Tony Sindelar, and Kathy Campbell take on Glenn Fleishman, Aleen Simms, and Jason Snell while Dan Moren and Lex Friedman attempt to (mostly successfully?) keep the peace.

Welcome, one and all, to the Low Definition Holiday Special! Presented for your holiday-themed entertainment: a collection of weird words, translated movie titles, search-engine autocompletes, and peculiar holiday traditions. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you might even learn something about the true meaning of Christmas. But probably not. Steve Lutz with Tiff Arment, Jason Snell, Dan Moren, Brian Hamilton and Monty Ashley.

Join us for our second visit to the Victorian Parlour, where we shall play more amusements and delights that would be as at home in the parlours of England as in the rail cars of America. It’s elemental, dear listener. Monty Ashley with Antony Johnston, Kathy Campbell and Jason Snell.

If you like The Incomparable’s other Game Shows—well, this isn’t them. This is Clickthrough, a quiz show driven by the erratic behavior of its host, Glenn Fleishman, and Wikipedia’s random article feature. It’s like reading the encyclopedia, if it were written by flat-earth conspiracy theorists. Panelists receive points for correct answers, points for interesting answers, and points for making fun of Glenn. Correct answers lead to clicking through and falling down the rabbit hole of more articles.
