Stop the Train!
I Want to Get Off.

Well Mr. Smithson, I guess we know what YOU did this weekend.

All aglow in neon rememberance, this begins like an episode of Lost the week J.J. Abrams let Desmond direct it himself. Or if you’ve ever played Portal on acid, it would be like that.

This volley is so quiet. You’ve kind of got to turn your headphones all the way up for the full weight of the sub-bass. I like how the guys are using characters from each other’s volleys to advance the story as a whole. This isn’t a design challenge as much as one of storytelling - but we’re switching the language for every round.

With all of that said, I think the thing that’s blowing my mind the most is that the creature’s mouth appears to be made using a bad painting of a fruit bowl that Matt must have stolen off the wall of a Motel 6. But who is this mysterious denizen of the underworld, eater of souls? And where to next? Moser, a daschund, says the smart money is on a tour of some kind of digestive system.

Mr. Oeffinger, the floor is yours, your next is due in just over an hour.
