This week we take a bit of a detour from the usual formula to talk about a game that I played recently that had a profound impact on me. It's one of the best games I've played in recent memory, and the best Metroidvania that's been released in quite some time.

Shoutout to Iron Pineapple on Youtube who I heard about this game through. Please go check out their content if you like the Soulsborne games.

In this week's episode, we talk about the Martian War from Destroy All Humans between the Furon and the Blisk and the numerous consequences that came from it. I also rant like a madman about the intricacies of space travel and try to make sense of a fictional reality, which is a losing battle (but that will never stop me).

Today we delve into the deep lore of our skeletal friend, Withers, from Baldur's Gate 3 to try to find out who he is and why he helps the party throughout the game. In doing so, we take a foray into the lore of the Dead Three, the main antagonists of the game, to help us answer these questions. We also learn what the undead do for fun in their free time, which is disturbing but ironic and hilarious.

Today we talk about the Blood War; something that comes up time and time again in Baldur's Gate 3, but something that there isn't a whole lot of information about in-game otherwise. In this episode, we go through the who/what/when/where/why of the Blood War, in an attempt to find any and all information about the event since Karlach won't spill the beans about her time in the Nine Hells.
