Episode 38: I'm Falling Asleep In Your Chicken Arms

(ALERT: THIS EPISODE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE MASS EFFECT FRANCHISE.) I spent the afternoon at my friends’ kid’s birthday party and spent most of my time trying to think of what to do for this write up while no one talked to me (probably because I was staring off into space thinking about this write up. I’m sure that’s not welcoming.) The obvious “rewrite ‘Midnight Train to Georgia’ about Mass Effect” was right there, but I’ve been rewriting a lot of songs lately and I don’t want that to get stale. I saw a hilarious McDLT commercial earlier this week where Jason Alexander (yes, that one) sings and dances about how this giant container that now fills many-a landfill keeps the tomato and lettuce cold and the patty hot, and while it brought me much joy, I didn’t feel like re-writing a bonkers burger ad. I thought about sprinkling the write up with lots of 30 Rock references, but I’m like 97% sure I’ve already done that. Which left me with two options: A) Just summarize the episode and sprinkle in some dumb jokes or B) let you all glimpse into my head for an afternoon and see that I actually do take this seriously. I guess you can figure out which option I chose. Anyway. Um. My dinner just arrived (I ordered takeout because I couldn’t get groceries on account of said birthday party) so…I’m going to go eat poke and watch Top Chef. This episode is about BioWare stuff, RPGS, JRPGs and The Dark Knight Rises. I sing. Adrian does impressions. It’s a good one. Enjoy it.
