В этом выпуске мы рассказываем о КНДР - о домовых комитетах и талонах на рестораны, частном секторе, которого нет (но он есть), Трех Полководцах Пэктусана и трех видах денег, особо глубоком метро и поездках за сто первый километр. В после-шоу Аур спасает своих колонистов на Марсе от песчаной бури, а также начинает добычу полезных ископаемых на астероидах. Домнин, тем временем, приводит в порядок жилище, параллельно играя в MechWarrior 5: Clans, после чего выигрывает за Мексику в Victoria 3. В завершение подкаста обсуждаем очередные новости про Гренландию и Канаду.

After a little detour to talk horror films and general spooky season stuff, Krispy takes us back to 2019 now that he has finally played (and loved!) Death Stranding: Director's Cut! It's a fun discussion that puts a lot of us in the mood to revisit the game ahead of the looming sequel. Brad gives his first impressions of the Silent Hill 2 Remake now that he's played a significant chunk of it and Chris Davis shares some thoughts on his time with the story campaign of Mech Warrior 5: Clans. Of course, we've got another does of UFO 50 highlights and some Fantasy Critic talk mixed in there for good measure. Halloween Season Chatter (2:40) Impressions - Death Stranding: Director's Cut (17:55) Impressions - Mech Warrior 5 Clans (48:45) Impressions - UFO 50 (1:05:10) Impressions - Silent Hill 2 Remake (1:15:00) 4Player Minute (1:49:30)
