Follow us through these dark tunnels, where we learn of betrayals both past and present.

This week, Kole Ross is joined by Brayton Cameron, Bryan May, and Stephen Veilleux to talk about the fourth chapter of The Gunslinger, where Roland and Jake follow the Man in Black into the tunnels beneath the mountains. What waits for them is weeks of darkness, rusted remnants of the world that was, and a railroad push-car that just won't shut up. Oh, also a look into Roland's past, and the climax of this very book.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross devour the first half of Mask of the Betrayer, the first expansion pack for Neverwinter Nights 2.

Guess what... it's the Fireworks Factory! We laid out our case about Neverwinter Nights 2, painting it as a mechanically troubled game that occasionally rose above standard Forgotten Realms fare for some inspired story beats. However, the Mask of the Betrayer expansion pack is all killer, no filler. This episode covers up until midway through Chapter 2.
