This is a video  game to be clear, even though it ends up playing a lot like a choose you're own adventure comic. Will Al convince Bruce Wayne to romance the beautiful Vicki Vale? Will T be able to follow the visual language of the game even when they show you events three times in a row? Do people rent paper to draw on? Listen and find out!

In this not so mini-sode, Al and T talk about successful and not so much adaptations of comics and video games. Al talks about the state of CW's super hero shows, the new Cartoon Network Thundercats that's in the works, DC's animated movies and more. T brings the Silent Hill movies, argues the transformative nature of let's plays, and explores licensed games like the age-less "Rocket Power Beach Bandits Video Game".

Al and T feel the spirit this week! We take it on down to Texas and follow a small town preacher's run-ins with racist cops, vampires, and angels that make you say, "why do we even have that angel". This series that was published by Vertigo in 1995 still kicks ass. So come get your jaw blown off, and then continue to talk for a few panels.

CW: In quoting the comic T uses a gay slur once at 38:40, so skip that if that language bothers you!

Al and T recall their experience with this FMV detective game "Her Story". After being released on the mobile and PC in 2015, Her Story quickly became a favorite among game critics, but it's exploratory nature made it hard for people to talk about without spoiling it. Listen as we ruin the whole plot by recounting it breathlessly and excitedly on how this "one woman show" of a video game played out differently for each of us!
