The Princess Bride is a modern fantasy classic that tells the story of Buttercup, one of the world's most beautiful women, and her farm boy lover Westley. The narrative is presented as an 'abridgment' of a nonexistent work by 'S. Morgenstern', allowing Goldman to interject his own commentary and personal anecdotes. The story involves quests for riches, revenge, power, and true love, featuring memorable characters such as the criminal mastermind Vizzini, the giant Fezzik, and the swordsman Inigo Montoya. The tale is filled with swashbuckling adventures, daring feats, and a deep exploration of true love and its challenges[1][2][5].
Thanks to yesterday's Nintendo Direct, we now know a lot more about the Nintendo Switch 2, from the price (high!) to the release date (soon!) to the fact that omg they showed Silksong for three seconds and said it's coming in 2025, which means it MUST come out this year since when has a console maker ever been wrong about when Silksong is coming out???
Also they announced a bunch of other Switch 2-related stuff, and Jason actually attended the press event and played the thing, and Maddy spent all day directing coverage of it, so they got on a zoom call with Kirk to talk about all of it. And then they both went to sleep and Kirk stayed up to edit the episode and write this episode description.
