An amazing episode of Random Encounter has been lost to the ether that is the internet thanks to technical difficulties, solar flares, or perhaps intervention by the Heartless. Rather than attempt to recreate the magic, the crew decides to focus on topics associated with the games they've been playing. John complains that RPGs are too long and Kim talks about the resurrection and continuation of fan-favorite franchises. After arguing Hardball style for a while, John takes the crew for a ride into the news room.
