50: Steampunk

Scott Narver returns and Steve Sears comes by for the first time to discuss steampunk culture, a genre most commonly associated with the intersection of science fiction and the Victorian era. If it's steam-powered, mechanized, filled with automatons, and has zeppelins, odds are it falls under the steampunk purview, which Scott, Steve, and Jen are admittedly not experts on but are certainly interested by. But Steve does kinda have steampunk facial hair, so maybe he knows more than he initially let on…
