Not all, not by a long-shot, but still is quite serviceable with plenty to laugh and joke about. Plus as a BONUS we have a treat in the opening! Not a skit but a sample of this months patreon exclusive series, The Graveyard...

David Cronenberg decided to make a movie about video games based on a Philip K Dick Novel. So it doesnt really grasp the theme all that well. But its got meat and guts and all the stuff you expect in a Cronenberg movie. So there's that. But we did posit if he did try his hand at game crafting in this weeks skit. So there's also that.

What happens when a character who has carried a franchise for over a decade get their well earned send off and absolutely cannot return in any reasonable way?
