Watch out! It’s the Phantom! Don’t let him… do whatever he does. Nobody knows, except maybe the people in the near future of 2040. But even they are kind of scratching their heads about this one.

Gwen likes to watch games where the contestants don't know the rules and that's why she likes Dropout's Game Changer, Gary does his annual trip to the Lovecraft Film Festival, and Kole didn't do shit, but did play some Final Fantasy XIV. And then we hang out with the Gang!

What terrifies the soul of man? Bright lights? Loud noises? Light gun games? Why not all three? Join us as we explore the horrors that game developers crafted to send chills down our spines in a bright room with lots of company.

Games Covered:
* Splatterhouse
* Ghouls ‘n Ghosts
* CarnEvil
* Zombie Revenge
* Dark Escape 4D
* Luigi’s Mansion Arcade
* Left 4 Dead: Survivors

M&M’s Beach Party for the Wii is one of the more anemic minigame collections we’ve covered, and we’ve already done deep dives into M&M’s lore… So this week we pitch a new M&M’s character: a grey M&M with a cashew sticking out of it, named Hercules PoundClit. He’s a sensitive, masculine man who exists to make the ladies swoon.

Greetings, Listener. Dare you... continue... to be in THE LABYRINTH?!!!

Today on Real Lich Hours, we join the circus!

Other Segments:

• Legends and Lore: Chult

• Fiend Folio: Three for one special! Blink Dogs, Crawling Craws, Djinni

This week we speak with Jeremy Greer, of Days of Future Cast and many other shows, about his experiences with the Shadow of the Erdtree. We also read your responses to Castle Ensis and Scadu Altus!

Before Walt and Gus can finally face off, first they need to end time itself. Things are about to get a bit explosive.

We would like to thank Gwen Static for composing our theme song, and Trent Peters for creating our great podcast art.

If you've never wondered what Pac-Man got up to in high school, then all I can say is what is wrong with you? There's romance, ghosts, and a confusing set of rules for what the power pellets do. And a theme song that barely sounds like real music!
