The game is over but the game is not over. One our final episode for season seven, we're smelling the ocean on the breeze, losing all MP, putting faith in our strength, spending our brains out, affirming Ghaleon's insanity, declaring Jessica Day, requesting an adult, creating an open door policy, realizing Luna has no idea what the hell Ghaleon was trying to do, starting Jessica's domestic education, causing weird vibes, engaging in scat play, talking to Kyle too many times, raiding Luna's

I am disgraced yet again. Season seven continues with us listening to a death rattle, making sure the Ocarina is in Alex's pocket, assigning jealousy as a motive, dumbing ourselves down for women, desecrating her sanctum, fighting for the ones we love, getting a little action, wishing for stronger hints, realizing girlfriend might be a bomb, confirming girlfriend must stay god, winning with the power of idealism, telling a lady that we're destined to be together, mutating after turning evil,

Do we care about the fate of the world? Hell no. We’re only concerned with exploring the wasteland of the mind, imbibing the sweet nectar of the woman kind, conquering our greatest fears (again), escaping the maze of our wretched inner-selves, living in the body of a goddess, running out of unlimited time, correcting god, beholding the power of salvation, suffering a promo endurance round, perceiving decadence, rebuffing everyone after a one-hit death, getting stuck in the healing loop, and probably

Even if you wanted to make this a twist, there’s nowhere to twist. Before we twist it off, we’re revealing the secret true identity of Laike, speaking of plot elements specifically, giving it a yank, turning into a dragon, realizing the Grindery is a Frontier machine, once again imagining a more socially conscious game, consuming sleep medication, debating the ideal final dungeon, leaving our fate in our hands, wishing Nash would behead a lady, overcoming the struggle of being human, eating

Nothing can justify what he has done. Nothing except us reacting incorrectly, marrying a child, debating Ghaleon’s power, exhibiting egregious Mega Man 4 opinions, decoding sunscreen, obeying out of fear and not respect, rescuing a puppy, giving up the drink, realizing Nash deserves nothing, joining in the madness, favoring self determination, referencing “new types,” streaming romantic rhetoric, killing god, trapping everyone in the good vs evil binary, and sacrificing, well, something.

Hey kids, weird day, huh? Days like this include human men delivering victory lines, jerking off after the massage, hacking through romance with a machete, losing the cut-scene, ditching the Vader outer wear, failing to keep up with the lore, forming the N.W.O., retiring the Dragon Master gear, sleeping for three days, distinguishing pudding from a smoothie, recognizing Negative Attitude Man, suspecting Eternal Blue is much better, voluntarily contracting rabies, and drinking away our problems

Has anyone told you that you’re gorgeous? It’s true, as obvious as when we’re rolling a turd, suffering a pincer attack, wishing there were anime in an anime moment, yanking off nipples, adapting dragon technology, vowing to stop a cretin, stumbling into a fairy garden, chafing at a wicked manner, laying off the goblin workforce, shopping at Home Depot, peeling back Chris’ Secret Garden meta layer, searching for the new Golgotha, accepting Phacia’s sacrifice, and engaging in what is surely going to

What kind of hero are you if you can’t protect my balloons? Apparently the kind that likes suppressing emotion, drunken-smacking monsters, witnessing a death plunge, wondering where home is, making wings out of fluffy bugs, committing a modern hate crime, spiraling through Paxton/Pullman delirium, losing the power to firm and tone, moving into an empty house, corrupting another save file, using magic to remove clothing, droppin’ dingles in drawers, distributing more gross reptile facts, and spitting

This is not the time to get freaky. Ears can’t even do that, but they can hear us resting in a slumber of our design, witnessing a world history event, birthing the Grindery, thinking of the Death Star workers, combining steam with magic, yearning for the True Power of Vane, using a super move reluctantly, testing the limits of forgiveness, working hands to the nape of her neck, making an important decision, suspecting there was going to be a boss fight, wishing for a secret satan, letting the anime

This is not a place of contention. It’s a place of listening, and learning while we’re removing the lesbians, damseling workers, assuring the quality of our plumbing, destroying a different black dragon, growing dirt guys, talking to eggs, waiting for a heel to turn face, requiring god juice to live, seeking Althena’s light, understanding the goblin plight, finding the soul of the ethos in NPCs, producing steam rubies, killing an entire town, solving the Taben question mark, ceasing a disobedient

What’s up pixel perverts? Today we’re blighting the surface for undesirables, rapidly switching discs, realizing the guards can hit, scraping metal out of the dirt, locating the only doctor in the world, experiencing goblin poetry, refusing to serve drinks to miners, dreaming of D Block, goofing into a slur, beating the prisoners, staring down a moral choice, changing hearts and minds, rushing the goblin narrative, playing with piss, and producing an unforgivable font mistake.

You’re prisoners of foolish ambition. You’re consumers of the pod, an episode in which we’re smelling so sweetly, waiting for Kyle to say it, finally realizing what we should have known, using ass-beating thoughts as a coping mechanism, fighting out of duty, living in the present, becoming a character, deploying a maximally appropriate sound effect, executing the double betrayal, leering at a bromide, refusing to pay for our own engine, demanding more out of Dyne’s past, justifying Nash’s actions,

Mutant League Football and Mutant League Hockey were convergence points across gross out children’s toys, gratuitous video game violence, and those who dared to dream up sports games for kids who weren’t especially interested in sports. But is it bad when the toilet produces more than it consumes? Eric thought about this for the last five months.

I wanna see some skull. Down in that bone zone, we’re coming up with magic city protection spells, wearing villain attire, contemplating infinity, making mother look so afraid, seeking the emasculation of self, crying in baby poop, dropping trou, becoming an honorary citizen of Lann, wearing an everybody magnet, loving Whitney Houston, building machines to travel underwater, talking to everyone everywhere, beautifying our bodies, and laughing like Beavis to make it through a bit.

What man who desires to be a hero would let that happen? Us, obviously. We’re bleeding out of the neck, dealing with Not My First Mind Control, tempting in the desert, saying Alex and Luna over and over, screaming into Dragon Master gear (in anime), wearing an invisible sprite hat, indulging in dragon controller irony, supposing dragons are real, consuming squid guts pasta, realizing Laike has a back-up Boy of Destiny, fantasy-producing a dozen kids, acquiring the master sword somehow, passing it on

Graveyard duck, give me the bag.

The time is at hand to prove the worth of your way. We’ll do that by wishing Laike was plausibly nerfed, fearing a bad lore tower, navigating pipes and catwalks, throwing shit out of a magic hat, playing fart sounds, bullying our way into a second airship, buzzing around like a turd-sick gnat, yanking on a face, foreshadowing a betrayal, enforcing the law of the west, engaging in a warrior challenge, replacing a necklace with a manifesto, and feeding cow to a horse. I don’t know if we should be

Guys who are correcting a your/you’re situation, reminding teenagers of their mortality, speculating the origin of hole floor dungeons, banging blowing and flicking, eliminating drag references, actually fixing a town, poking dead monsters with a stick, singing songs between two lovers, teleporting to the technodrome, wondering what variety of human god became, breaking the cycle of heroes, swirling around in whirlpools, and getting baked with
