What do you think about it, and could you imagine acting as such a Curator yourselves? Maybe under the &#8220;Spoiler Warning&#8221; label, or as a &#8220;Twentysided Curator&#8221; or similar?<\/p>\n<p>Best regards,<br \/>\nNiko<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>49:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Dear Diecast, Thanks for all the work you guys do. Spoiler Warning and the Diecast make late nights in the lab much more enjoyable. A few questions for you:<br \/>\n-How do you pick which Kevin Macleod song you will use for the ending credits of spoiler warning?<br \/>\n-Are there any games from the spoiler warning seasons that you regret picking? How about the specials? (Trainz!)<\/p>\n<p>regards,<br \/>\n-Anthony<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>55:00<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Ruts&#8217;s friend BlackFox here&#8211;I&#8217;ve been going through old Diecasts and noticed that you&#8217;ve been linking Josh&#8217;s name to such things as:<br \/>\nthe wiki page for Teddy Roosevelt<br \/>\nthe wiki page for Grigori Rasputin<br \/>\nthe wiki page for Machiavelli<br \/>\nthe wiki page for Troll (bridge variety)<br \/>\nthe wiki page for Troll (internet variety)<br \/>\nthe wiki page for Macedonian, which you all had an argument over how to pronounce in that Diecast<br \/>\nvarious other wiki pages intended to be indicative of Josh&#8217;s grouchiness<br \/>\nthe Guild Wars 2 wiki page for the weapon called Incinerator<br \/>\na recent Spoiler Warning<br \/>\nwhiskey<br \/>\nThis is all highly amusing. So the actual question: Has anyone else actually noticed this? Rutskarn and Jarenth had not.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We didn&#8217;t actually answer this on the show, so for the record: For the first few dozen episodes, when I linked to Josh&#8217;s name in the hosts list I&#8217;d link to a different random thing every time.
