Don’t Gaslight Me, Jesus: A Dungeon Crawler Carl Podcast

We wrap up book 2! See if the newbies are enjoying the end of this one more than the last one which had ... well "mixed reviews" might be generous. To let everyone know, we'll be taking a double break after this episode because Jennifer and I will be in Orlando for a couple of weeks. So we'll see you again in June!

Fighting in the dark, crazy showers, and then it's time to enter the Danger Zone for an assassination attempt. Yeah, they cram quite a bit into these two chapters. See what the crew is thinking as we approach the end of book 2.

These chapters are a tad slow. Not quite as much to talk about just within them, which leads to some discussion about the larger concepts of the series. And also Magic cards. Why? Search me.

We've got ourselves some serious stuff this week, folks. The quest is turning out to be even questier than we thought. And an Elite? Do people even know what that is if they haven't played WoW? Is that a thing in other games? I mean, besides Halo, because that's a different sort of deal. You see the tangent I went on in the description there? Yeah, that was to prepare you for this week's episode. It's tangent-y ... tangentful? Tangentional. Yeah, that sounds right.

We finished the first book this week, and my oh my are there feelings about this one. After we work through all the trauma there, we've also got a couple of achievements to hand out and a little talk about the future of the show. So stay tuned through the end to hear what's happening next.

The rage elemental arrives, and the rage elemental is no more. Carl exploits a bug (or feature?) in the game to take down a high-level monstrosity, and our podcast crew is here for it (well, mostly). We're in the home stretch now, just a couple more episodes until the end of the book. So how well can these folks predict where things are headed?

So the Odette interview was ... a thing, well, a couple of things, really. The crew overall seems to find that pretty interesting, to the point where coming back to the dungeon and discovering that the second floor was more or less identical to the first came as something of a disappointment. All is not lost though as we make our approach to the first boss fight of Floor 2.

We finally meet some other crawlers, living ones even! Not only that, but the list of things the crew has been asking for is getting checked off at a furious rate. Either they've been good all year, or Santa forgot to check his list twice. We've got a homeless person, some old folks, Frank Q., the hits just keep coming. Also, sorry about the audio on this one. It speeds up and slows down at random several times. Did the best I could in editing.

Finally, the loot! That's what we're all here for, right? Oh ... and the cat talks now. Who knew? Jennifer and Mike, you say? Huh. Fine. Whatever. I'll pay more attention next time.
