Episode 164: Back In Order

So, we had some mixed feelings about our last episode. (I liked it; everyone else didn't.) But too bad.

Anyway, this time around we've got another episode (that ISN'T backwards, believe it or not) and we're talking about levelling up- how to do it, what it means, whether it should exist in-universe or not- as well as answering a question from an old friend about designing puzzles! So come along for the ride!

Metroid

The Adventure Zone: Graduation

Venture Brothers

Erfworld- Now, this sent me down a rabbit hole. This is a webcomic I used to read all the time and I loved it; but a few years ago I got too busy and lost my place and stopped reading for a while (but some day hoped to start over from the beginning and get caught up). Apparently, last year, the creator suffered some sort of family-related disaster (the exact details of which are not available to the public, which is understandable) and as such he stopped making new comics and (apparently tried to scrub the entire thing from the internet? Or something? I'll have to do some research and get back in the future.

Ocarina of Time

Tomb of Horrors

Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil- It turns out the reference I made in this episode wasn't quite correct, but the actual dungeon feature is equally bonkers.
