The vengeance of the future we killed is about to begin. Today we’re comparing melodies, evaluating Y2K futurism, speculating machine sentience, finding Johnny, spec’ing Zappa, hacking lore with Norris, shopping at the mannequeen mall, missing Doc’s tech, going over Tragedienne’s dialogue, meeting the dragoons in oblivion, watching familiar ghosts, entering the Enertron, denying inevitability, dealing in quantum currency, fighting to return the distortion, and becoming salt for the dead sea.

Express your intent to the Einlanzer. On this episode we’re using a crab to quell a storm, knocking on death’s door, debating the morality of a sword, going hard in the paint on the Masamune, flashing back to Dario’s final days, using a keepsake mirror to trick trick mirrors, normalizing old bosses, surviving the sadness wave, mending the tragedy of the Masamune, dematerializing into the ether, and killing a magic sword. I cannot imagine that spectacle of what lies ahead. 01:04 Intro | 03:00 Dead

One. Two. Free. While we listening we’re visiting the muppet house, observing a haunted island, getting lore injections from Toma, stalking a nocturnal mermaid, hopping aboard a kitschy cruise ship, calculating interest in coffee money, watching a magician do actual magic, dealing with post-divergence trauma, disclosing lineage, hovering with fishness, smoking, and losing a rigged game.

We need a boat. Today we’re digging through the rubble at Viper Manor, feigning ignorance, wondering if plumbing has been invented, appreciating dynamic light sources, blowing any chance at deception, learning about the Dead Sea, getting an awful boat, acquiring a baby talking baby dragon, absorbing Guldovian trade ethics, getting depressed across dimensions, breathing underwater, schooling fish, fighting and befriending a space alien, and ripping a laser gun out of a fish.

HEY LET ME SEE THAT MUSHROOM. This time we’re learning about Wazuki, beating the shit out of the village elder in front of his community, turning a man into fungus, exploring a muted Termina, not recognizing our mushroom father, making our own legends, training to be like Norris, cooling the forge, looking for the rainbow, covering for my father’s economic anxiety, shaking my savings, and adding a child with no fighting experience to our elite squad of world warriors.

Am I dead? I guess we’re looking back at the beach, waking up in dimensional vortex, tripping balls, befriending a shape-shifting creature of myth, sorting out reality, fighting against two dimensions, jumping in a warp zone, partying with Sprigg, failing to teleport, kicking ass to the moon, experiencing severe xenophobia, frightening the locals, and sleeping in my bed that isn’t mine.

Life and death, love and hate, they are all the same. This time we’re deluminating crystal monoliths, facing north, getting an ankle sprain, changing the order of head body and tail, battling beast mecha, inserting Skelly, glooping glop, receiving a kissy wissy from a son of a gun, stumbling upon an incubator, reliving a prologue, trapping Elements, vomiting ourselves, eliminating co-conspirators, talking as a silent protagonist, and facing ourselves at the edge of death. Now, let love bleed darker

I have not seen the light, amigo. Today we’re thinking of party members as coworkers, seeking advice from governing mystics, listening to dragon god legends, receiving a green tinkler, overlaying theme music, using alcohol as a bribe, psychically annihilating groupies, confessing to the florist, visiting Skelly’s house, cashing in a bet, confirming Pierre, and marveling in the absurdity of the Luchador Priest. Glenn is no cop; he’s got morals. 01:00 Intro | 03:30 Guldove’s Shaman | 11:45 Dragon Lore
