We get Trevor Strunk of No Cartridge Audio (https://twitter.com/NoCartridge) on the show to talk about the links between videogames and literature but Langdon, mad with power after being made an official contributor, starts spitting FIRE takes like '90 minutes is actually 20 minutes', 'Finnegans Wake is a vaporwave novel' and 'anime is good'. There's also Hegel, Nietzche, Jonathan Blow, Dark Souls, Metal Gear and a refreshing lack of books.
