7. Creek's Hot Toddy (feat. Super Mario Galaxy 2, New Star GP, and Fortune's Weave)

   I'm gonna be so for real with you: Throughout the entirety of Cai's route, I kept seeing a person named Creek just hanging around Dagsion and at no point did I think "I'm going to recruit that guy." Just didn't find him remotely interesting. I truly know nothing about him whatsoever except that his name is Creek. And even then, I kept thinking "oh, that's the teal guy." He might be the most interesting character in Fortune's Weave, and I'd have absolutely no idea. Point being: I usually come into writing these episode descriptions with some kind of thought about how to elaborate on the fantasy of the title and the art and make it feel like a little world in one or two sentences — you know, using the economy of comedy and all that — but this time I have absolutely nothing for you. Zilch! The episode is called "Creek's Hot Toddy" because that's funny as heck, but don't come to me looking for Creek facts, alright? I don't have any! I don't know the guy! I don't know what gifts to give him or what he'd consider a "perfect" bird time. Honestly, Creek might not even be his real name! Imagine if it was Todd. Todd's Hot Toddy? That's also very good. That's funny.

   Alrighty, well I've about run out of things to say here. Same time next week though, cool? Cool. Love ya!

   -BB

   Discussed: Perfect Bird Time, Super Mario Galaxy 2, the different modes of Mario, the importance of wind down games, different approaches to sequels, screamin’ BB, New Star GP, Formula 1, Batomon Showdown, Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave

    Joey's head pierces the veil of the chained apartment door as blinding sunlight pours in behind him. His eyes are wrong — they're the color of jewels, reds and blues all mixed up and coating every millimeter. His expression is contorted, almost beyond recognition. "THE CEASELESS FEAST OF WANT," he yells into the room, "A GLEAMING BEACON SHIMMERING ON THE HORIZON." He tries to force his way into the room again, but the chain holds. "WE ARE WANTED. WE ARE HERE TO SERVE AND REST OUR BONES UPON A GOLDEN THRONE. THE SUN IS FOREVER, AND SO TOO SHALL WE BE." Joey from the hit sitcom Friends retreats from the crack in the door, leaving a radiant glow spilling into the room.

    Discussed: Joey, George Costanza, Captain Picard, Esoteric Ebb, Disco Elysium, getting into CRPGS, neo-noir and grooviness, Saros, AAA roguelikes, Danny Boyle’s “Sunshine”, Bobo Bay, Vampire Crawlers
