This week we talk about the Illithid Race, more well known as Mind Flayers, to find out what makes them tick, and all of the minute details that separate them from octopuses. To cap it all off, we talk about the Illithid Empire, and why no one wants to see that come to fruition.

In this week's episode, we talk about the Martian War from Destroy All Humans between the Furon and the Blisk and the numerous consequences that came from it. I also rant like a madman about the intricacies of space travel and try to make sense of a fictional reality, which is a losing battle (but that will never stop me).

Today we delve into the deep lore of our skeletal friend, Withers, from Baldur's Gate 3 to try to find out who he is and why he helps the party throughout the game. In doing so, we take a foray into the lore of the Dead Three, the main antagonists of the game, to help us answer these questions. We also learn what the undead do for fun in their free time, which is disturbing but ironic and hilarious.

Today we talk about the Blood War; something that comes up time and time again in Baldur's Gate 3, but something that there isn't a whole lot of information about in-game otherwise. In this episode, we go through the who/what/when/where/why of the Blood War, in an attempt to find any and all information about the event since Karlach won't spill the beans about her time in the Nine Hells.

Deep in rural Spain, a cult named Los Illuminados was controlling villagers and turning them into monsters. The source of their power was a parasite that they called Las Plagas. Where did it come from, and what was so special about it that a cult dedicated their lives to it? Today, we take a dive into Resident Evil 4 and 5's lore so that we can understand Las Plagas and how it was used in a plot to overthrow the United States government, and the world.

And if they do, what happens to them after that? Is there a heaven, or is there just the void? We answer these questions and more in this episode!

In honour of the spooky season, I wanted to take some time to make a Halloween special and read a couple of my favourite short stories from H.P. Lovecraft that people might not know about. H.P. Lovecraft is most famous for his stories about Cthulhu-- most namely the Call of Cthulhu and Shadow Over Innsmouth stories-- but I wanted to offer what I think are his two best works. Maybe I just really like cats.

Today we explore new Horizons and soar into the world of Zero Dawn and Forbidden West to answer the question, who were the ones responsible for bringing about the apocalypse that led to the events of the game? We talk about Elisabet Sobeck and Ted Faro, and also take that information to break down what it might have been like to live in the Horizon universe in the 2060's-- our distant future (but hopefully not actually). I'll take the Focus, though.
