The Ryan-indulgence of the Type-Ins ethos reaches its zenith/nadir as Mr. Veeder presents to Jason and Jenni the game he always said we'd never play on the podcast, breeding Wrenlaws out of the dead land, mixing Wrenlaw with Wrenlaw, stirring dull roots with Wrenlaw.

Jason McIntosh returns for part 1 of a thrilling season finale! What fate awaits Air Bud's puppies? What arcana will be unearthed in the Higgins Armory Museum? And who is "Authorial Intent"? Find out tonight! By the way, if you just want to hear us play the game you're gonna want to skip to 36:51.

Dan Schmidt, yes THAT Dan Schmidt, presents his 1999 game all about how the sun is gone and you have a rock. Its surreal landscape and mind-curling puzzles succeed in puzzling the heck out of Ryan and Jenni to the point where you can actually hear them thinking (it sounds like long periods of silence). Also in this episode: Keyboard Settings of the Podcast Stars, GIRP Bird, and Jenni Explains ASMR.

Ryan relates the spooky tale of ill-fated archaeologist Anne Chambers, and then he and Jenni spend about an hour trying to decide what it "means." You might want to turn that Podcast Dead Air Eliminator option back on. AND: Kickstarter backers' custom commands, Part 2 of 2!

A playthrough of Andrew Plotkin's text parser tutorial game serves as a focus for many interesting discussions, such as, did you know Ryan also wrote a tutorial game? He will mention it as many times as it takes. PLUS: Kickstarter backers' custom commands, Part 1 of 2!

Former author of all interactive fiction Andrew Plotkin discusses the MIT Mystery Hunt, reveals the merest glimpse of the eldritch realm of institutionalized Doctor Who fanfiction, and somewhere in the middle manages to present to us a game that is based on an XKCD strip as well as other things.

Harried by understandably upset crows, Jason and Jenni trudge cromulently through Ryan's interactive documentary. Jason explains why we type "take inventory" instead of something else. Ryan says "omniscient" when he means "omnipresent." Jenni throws her chips across the room.

Jason McIntosh is the author of one of IF's most famous and influential works, and he is also the author of the game Calliope, which Ryan and Jenni play for about 20 of this episode's 112 minutes before returning to their familiar situations, having changed.

Doug and Jenni play through a tale of intrigue and mystery featuring the kindly Doctor Langridge and the Doctor's evil twin Sid. In Craverly Heights, very little is as it seems, in those cases where anything even seems in the first place.

This episode is not for the faint of stomach! Doug Egan brings us his 2008 game about a right-handed health inspector, forcing his right-handed worldview down Jenni and Ryan's throats. We're never going to reach a solution if we don't start a dialog.
