Everyone's favorite sci-fi idiot is back and this time there are MORE zombies or whatever. Dead Space 2 iterates on the rough edges of Dead Space 1, but it does it ultimately move the needle? The game remains as dedicated as ever to it's third-person in-world HUD, but we must question whether that actually makes things any scarier.

Finally, the show Bryce Salads and Brent Sticks have been itching to create for weeks: A page-by-page discussion of every page on the wiki for the 1990 film Ghost.

Nickelodeon was at the height of their powers in the 90s when they decided to start throwing more and more Nicktoons down the chute. This led to them trying to capture the grotesquery of Ren & Stimpy without any of its transgression. Thus, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters was born, a show about monsters who live in a dump trying to learn to scare humans. This predated Monsters, Inc. by several years, but still feels derivative of that movie!

In this episode we find some needful things and get mazed.

Other Segments:

• Factol's Manifesto: Athar

• We say basically all we’re going to say about the Undersigil and never speak of it again

Kaye, Ben, and Dennis talk about Marathon, Slay the Spire 2, Mewgenics, and much more!

The Grind:

• Kaye: Marathon. Resident Evil: Requiem.

• Dennis: iRacing. Slay the Spire 2. John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando.

• Ben: Mewgenics.

The Multiplayer:

• What game enemy has the highest dangerousness delta between its appearance and how much of a threat it actually is?

The End Boss:

• Crimson Desert devs caught using AI placeholder art.

• The RAM shortage is having a bigger effect than we thought.

• EverQuest Legends is a trap designed specifically to kill Kaye.

Gus is back. And more importantly, Francesca is back.

You got questions and we jump on them in a variety of ways.

Finally, the show Gary and Will have ACTUALLY been wanting to do for years: Horses.

The Oregon Trail is a simple game, but it’s timeless. The Amazon trail is complicated and involves time traveling magic panthers, and nobody has thought about it in thirty years. There’s a lesson there. Additionally, there are lessons in hiring contractors to fix your bathroom, and lessons about how the Liar’s Dividend has made public defecators of us all.

Season 3 begins. Chuck has to deal with tape recorder problems, Jimmy has to deal with threats from a uniformed officer, Mike has to deal with a tracker in his car.

We love the movieesh! Gwen talks about movies (a lot (too much)), Kaye's been playing John Carpenter's Toxic Commandos. Gary broke his bathroom so he's not here.
