Welcome back to Dark Souls: Masque of Vindication! We had a little more trouble with this section and it feels like we are starting to go off the rails a little bit with this book. We are introduced to some new characters. Those characters go away though so don't get too attached. Phil's cat interrupts by trying to climb the grate on his computer. It's a barrel of laughs and fun!
We really want to stress that we think Michael Stackpole is a good author, and that we have, in fact, read a bunch of his stuff and it was good. Regardless. This book!
During the Whaddya Playin segment we discussed some interesting titles, such as Card Shark, and How Fish is Made.

On Today's post-Halloween episode we are taking a look at Harlan Ellison's dystopic story and video game of the same name: I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream. We will recap the story and discuss about how the story evolved to create a much broader and more nuanced experience within the point and click adventure.
