Anghel Dust

Today's episode is actually quite short, consisting mostly of a large discussion where we're basically reassuring ourselves that what we're seeing is in fact real.

Oh, okay. Sorry, this is the first I've ever even heard of this particular cypher.

Yes, sorry :) ROT13 has been around for a very long time, having the advantage that the same algorithm can be used to both cipher and decipher text.

I liked Al Bhed a lot, though - just by shifting the vowels and consonants around separately, the end result was a language that sounded... believably pronounceable, for the most part, with words like "essateydamo". It instilled a fascination in me that I hadn't felt since Commander Keen :)
