The never ending search for Latos's Statue continues across two more days of play, and honestly, we've forgotten why we needed it in the first place. As the clearing of tiles rolls ever onward, we revisit childhood memories of christian youth group sports retreats, share peanut butter & jelly sandwich tips, and bring up Guyver again. Jovana (@dirt.petal) also pops in for a spell to answer for her audio crimes and chat about the pros and cons of various methods of indigo dyeing textiles! We get like, really close to getting out of Mazurka too. We don't quite get there though.

S1E9: Run the Levels

Our desperation to escape Mazurka reaches a fever pitch. We continue fleshing out floors of the map, each one a more twiztid shape than the last, searching for Latos's Statue, finding only pain. Not to be hyperbolic, but this is where the game begins to do the absolute most disrespectful things a video game has ever done to us personally. Yet still, we persevere, finding time along the way to discuss the dark truth behind what happened to Just Mayo, as well as the finer points of the marketing rollout for the Travis Scott X McDonald's collab.

S1E11: Of Course You Don't Know Numbers

We discover that Mazurka is, in fact, THREE separate dungeons stacked in a trench coat masquerading as one, and every tile we clear brings us one step closer to a confrontation with the *ahem* naked thief, Gaia. Gaia does one of the worst things any video game character has ever done to us. The sheer scope of the map situation forces us to break out the pen and paper once again, as our musical chatter devolves into questioning the very nature of sound itself. Sometimes metalcore/post-hardcore bands write eerily similar songs so we take a moment to unpack a bit of that as well.
