All roads lead to Vegas.

S1E1&2: Emissary (1993)

Ann Leckie holding me by my ankles and shaking the

It was literally raining as I was editing this, and then again as I was listening through for the quality check. It freakin' moist out here.

Oxygenating you and removing spiders from your vicinity, thank you gamers. 

Go out and pick through some clovers for my boy.

It waaaaaas OBS doing the click, Audacity stays winning.

Real Yoshi fans break the cycle of samsara.

As I am writing this my power is out, which wouldn't be a problem were I in a truck in the middle of the desert on the way to Vegas. Or perhaps it would be a very, very large problem.

I can't wait to figure out what Desert Bus's Soul Rating is at the end of this.

My pal's name is Foot Foot (Foot Foot) 
He always likes to roam 

Strap in gamers, it's gonna be a long ride.

Xzibit gaming in my gaming, etc., whatever. You know the frickin' deal.

Over the last couple of months I read through the book Use of Weapons by Iain M. Banks, and that novel has one of the most satisfying conclusions I've ever experienced across any form of media, and Michigan: Report from Hell also has an ending.

You could probably make a show out of a character that gets Heroic Amnesia.

I just realized Carly's reverb in the bar sounds identical to the reverb I use when editing me has to come in and explain something.

tfw no dommy mommy boss to make me go run errands

I am requesting that someone mountainsplain to me.

There's a Michigan Fats/Minnesota Fats joke just lying under the surface here, but I can't quite coax it out.

Hoping and praying that I never get locked in a room without a reporter buddy. I guess even shut in a room would be just as problematic.

See you, Pikachu.

Check out the Super Switch Club over here, and maybe, hey, submit some audio yourself over at the Probably Work website.

Anyway, time for more Slay the Spire. 

I'm surprised I didn't even go into my hypothesis on how there's only like 9-10 animals. Cat, dog, horse, lizard, fish, elephant, monkey, bug, bird. That's all you need. Deer? Brother that's a horse. Mouse? That's a bug dog. Frog? You got it, lizard fish.

"Oh boy, the one year anniversary of my Hey You! Pikachu FAQ! Today is going to be the best day ever!"

Temporary placeholder link until I get Bluegreener's episode in here, Do the Bartman

Alright, here's the real one. 

Oh whoops, frick, here is Bluegreener's Wikigacha episode.

The 'Get Me Out of This Game' levels are rising at a precipitous rate.

Firing artillery at you for the bit.

Starting to realize I may not be the target demographic for this video game, a feeling I have never felt before as a 32-year old white man.

I need to start an 'attacked by a shadow demon' counter.

https://www.twitch.tv/skeletonhouse be there or be frickin' you know the rest kid

I gotta be almost done the tutorial right? I'm sure by next week we'll be catching and battling all sorts of mystical and magical creatures. For sure. 

For sure.

Seaman son or Lifeline daughter?

Ironically my internet is currently out so I'm uploading this from my telephone. That's irony right? Because we all know what lives on the internet.

I feel like you can get XCOM: Enemy Unknown, with the Enemy Within expansion pack, for like $3 during a Steam sale.

Usually the 'X Simulator' episode title thing I do is a bit tongue-in-cheek, but, like, c'mon.

I did not realize how good I was at foreshadowing until I listened to this again while editing.

Really shoulda played this before the end of December to pad out my 'games launched' stat on the Steam Replay.

I would make such a good crisis dispatch operator, do you hear how calm under pressure I am? Maybe not the best at, y'know, parsing information or whatever, but that's probably like half as important.

I dunno man, ants? Probably ants. 

I left the first email in solely to embarrass past me, freakin' dork.

When you sink a series of shots in pool do they call it 'draining your balls?' 

If so they should cease, posthaste.

The next person that tells me to hurry up is getting a boba straw in the eyeball.

Thank you operators.

"Oh my God! JC! A bomb!" 

"A bomb!"

*hacker voice* I'm in

Truly one of the greatest boss fights in the canon of video games. Sit down Virgil 3. Go get a snack Giygas. Ornstein and Smough? More like Ornstein and No. 

I think that rhymes, but I guess I don't really know for sure.

It is a very unique idea to have your jump scare sound be the quietest noise in the video game.

When in doubt, hit 'em where it hurts (genitals).

Iggy's Reckin' Balls alien makes a noise that sounds identical to one of my mouth clicks, but I can assure you with the utmost certainty that it is coming from the game track and not my mic track.

Also it has come to my attention the character Jonathan Turner was from Boy Meets World, not Home Improvement. Sorry Posty.

It's a fake job simulator and one of them spooky Spot the Difference games, how could I not play this?
