Operation: Have a Conversation

Strange times have befallen the world. Many are confined to their homes while others are still searching far and wide for but a single roll of toilet paper. But, because Mark, Jack, and Mikhail have been doing this through internet video chat since the beginning, nothing here has changed except the mood. Enjoy.

The boys are back and getting in sync. Mikhail, Jack, and Mark once again discuss yearly themes as the much more practical cousin to the flaky and unreliable New Years resolutions. The themes discussed are eerily similar which was totally not at all planned in advance. How neat is that?

Hold on to what’s left of your sanity as Jack and Mikhail attempt to navigate Mark’s newest interactive text adventure: Homestead.
