Ep. 37: "Be Gay Do Crimes - The Game" (Night in the Woods)

🎃 Happy Halloween! 🎃

 To celebrate the spooky season, this week we're discussing Night in the Woods (2017) - a story-driven, sidescroller adventure game where you play as Mae Borowski, a 20 year-old recent college dropout who has returned to her hometown of Possum Springs; a quaint autumnal town in decay along the American Rust Belt -- reconnecting with her family, neighbors, and her queer cohort of childhood friends over the course of a couple weeks in late October (including of course......HAalloweEeEeen!)

We have lots of thoughts to unpack about this really beautiful, honest, and very existentially spooky video game!
 
We also talk a bit about the Animal Crossing 2.0 update (along with a tip on how to save some coin$ with the pricey new Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pass), playing as Sora in Smash, and Eric's hottest L.A. Halloween recs (for da Angelenos out there!)

We really enjoyed making this week's ep and playing this week's game. Hope y'all enjoy it too!
