The Brain Jar is a Counter-Strike 2 podcast focused around delivering three opinions - one with a 90% slant, one with a 50% slant, and one with a 10% slant. This can be interpreted in many ways - 10% of people agree, 10% chance this will happen, and so on. Whether the take is spicy or mild is up to you!
