It’s a simple job. In and out. But, not really, because that’s never the case, and you should never believe anyone who tells you it is. Because there might be a giant burn victim with a gatling gun waiting for you in the basement. Happens every time.

Also Discussed:

• The Runner’s Guide: Little Improvements

• The Street Samurai Catalog: Swords

• Paranormal Animals of Europe: Bean Sidhe, Brocken Bow, Darkkaryne

With “Wine and Roses” we’ve rounded the bend into one of the finest seasons of television ever aired. The first half of Better Call Saul’s sixth season is a magnificent fakeout, putting our attention on the final boss of grifts and pranks that is Kim and Jimmy’s plot against Howard. But there’s Lalos about, and nobody is aware of how everything will collide.

Listen, nobody’s going to give Shining Force awards for narrative complexity. It’s taken as read that Darksol trying to resurrect the Dark Dragon is bad. Look at their names! However, Shining Force is a nostalgic favorite for a lot of people because it was the first game that showed them things that would ultimately become cliché. It also introduced a lot of people to turn-based tactical combat, which is a big step up from Dragon Quest even if it doesn’t get complex enough.

This week’s highlighted project is Daycare Dittos, a podcast where people talk about their favorite Pokemon

Death’s back, and this time he’s out for blood… lines. 55 years ago, a woman foresaw a terrible disaster at a shoddily built tower and warned everyone away from it. Then she went on to have a bunch of kids, who according to Death never should have been born. This is a new twist for the Final Destination series, but Bloodlines has all of the fun and stupid Rube Goldberg machines you could ever want to see. Because Death is a petty Beavis who must be entertained.

Next Month: 1984.

Who would have guessed that this comedy podcast episode nominally about a Shrek party game would have turned into a sober rumination on body image issues?

This is a premium episode. Want to hear the whole thing? Back us on patreon.com/duckfeedtv!

A reclusive hunter has died, and the local coroner has assembled a jury to determine the cause of death. There is one piece of evidence: a mangled body. And one witness: an outsider and fabulist with an unbelievable tale. Would knowing the truth help? Would believing it matter? What use is trust when our senses cannot contain that which stalks us?

Music Used: "Dark Water" and "Basement Storage" from Amnesia: The Dark Descent, and "Mimesis Novistadors" from the Resident Evil 4 Remake.
