This week we talk about the little-known PS2 game adaptation of Home Alone, a Christmas classic that was already super old in 2006 when this came out. But honestly, there’s very little there to talk about. Instead, we camp out on the taxonomical horror of a picture of corndogs Gary took ten years ago.

The hands of the cosmos have many fingers, and all of their movements tell a story. But what that story means is up for interpretation. And this week we venture to the Cathedral of Manus Metyr and meet a very strange man named Count Ymir, who claims to have knowledge of the true nature of the Greater Will, the Two Fingers, and the origins of Marika’s divinity. Is he trustworthy? Who knows!? Let’s go blow whistles for him.

In this episode we… "do some butt-kicking for righteous justice". Wait, is that right?

This one's just for you, our dear Patrons.

We suck up our enemies and absorb their powers in this early, but charming Kirby adventure.

We did a party to raise money for charity. We stayed up all night even though we're so old. We did raise that money, though.

This technically constitutes our Christmas episode. (Contains no Christmas content.)

What is the meaning of Inspector Gadget? Is he basically a cyberzombie, which would explain the bungling? In which ball is the essence stored? This mostly on-topic episode is not afraid to ask the important and hard-hitting questions about this awful metal man.

This week we complete the last of Shadow Keep, exploring the rear of the Specimen Storehouse before killing Messmer’s best bud Commander Gaius, and stumbling across the location where Marika’s whole story began.

In this episode we lose it all to the Lady of Loss at The House of Grief.

Other Segments: 

• Character Roundup: Shadowheart

• Sage Advice: Mirror of Loss

Of all the crazy stuff that happens in Season 5, making meth inside a pest control house is the one that gets my vote for most outlandish. Still pretty good TV, though.

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