However, if you were given the herculean task of whittling down the entire list of captains down to the top ten, who would make the cut? John Eckes was brave enough to answer the call and crafted his lineup of the best leaders of space crews ever to grace the small screen? Who is the best captain of all? Do you agree with John’s reasoning? The only way to be sure is to check out his list, so do it!
Watch A Movie With Us: The Worst Films of 2013
A short while ago, we asked you, the distinguished voting public of One of Us, to pick the three worst films of 2013. This was no simple poll for curiosity’s sake, of course. Brian and Chris promised to record Watch A Movie With Us audio commentaries for the worst of the worst and giving you the audio for the third and second place losers free of charge. This week, the promise is nearly fulfilled. Behold, the audio commentaries for Grown Ups 2 and R.I.P.D. are yours, no strings attached. Well, there is the matter of having to watch two horrible movies, but at least you’ll have your favorite internet personalities alongside you for this hellish ride. And keep your eyes open for #1 worst film of 2013, as voted by you, which you’ll be able to purchase for the incredibly low price of $1.99!

The Chairman of the Board, Jacob Hall, is back with another tabletop adventure for you board gaming fanatics! The name of the game is Durance and it’s all about colonialism in deep space.

Give it a listen and experience the wonders of space Australia!
