Second verse, nearly the same as the first! Stone of Madness’s second and notionally longer campaign, “The Gate of St. Jerome” starts out with a promise that it will be spookier and more intriguing than the prior chapter. Engravings left by an engineer gone mad talk of horrible thing beneath the abbey, but it turns out you’re doing more of the same things, and learning more of the same things you did last time.

Highlighted Project: Wow Okay Cool and their album “If This is Where it Got Us, What Good Is It?”.

It’s a classic Duckfeed knock-down drag-out cage match as we disagree about whether or not the Resident Evil movie is good! It’s not in dispute that Zach Cregger has made a very strong adaptation of Resident Evil, capturing a spirit of the games that has eluded previous directors who took a shot. However, the movie’s choice to stay locked on a lone man who’s mostly talking to himself becomes a point of contention.

Sometimes ghosts!

Shinobi for the PlayStation 2 isn’t a bad game. In fact, Kaye knows that she’s bringing a backdoor WOFF! pick to the show. However, it’s janky and it’s overly difficult because it’s from an era before character action was solved. When we run out of stuff to say about Shinobi, we start brainstorming business ideas to make use of a loophole to get infinite free wood chips… or at least how to use them to inflict them on your enemies.

With a little help from Mike, Jimmy has managed to do the impossible: get bail release for Lalo “Jorge de Guzman” Salamanca after the grisly murder of Fred Whalen. One hitch in the plan is that the $7 million dollars in cash needs a ride, and that results in some… complications. Does this pseudo-bottle episode keep working after its spectacle wears off?

Things are not going well at a secluded monastery in the Pyranees mountains of Spain. The Inquisitor and the Mother Superior treat the mentally ill people in their care like prisoners, and they’re starting to disappear one by one. It’s up to Father Alfredo and a team of misfits to use their complementary skills to investigate what’s happening and bring it to a stop. The result is a board game-like real time stealth and strategy game that runs out of tricks well before either of its campaigns finish.

This episode covers the generalities, Prologue, and the “Corrupt Hand of the Church” campaign.

How do you solve a serial killer case when every murder has a different suspect, and none of the suspects know each other? Cure was one of the early movies that brought about the J-horror craze of the turn of the millennium, and we talk about whether or not its sedate and distanced approach to a grisly genre works for us.
