Muhahahah!!! It’s the 13th of Friday, which means it’s another freaky Friday episode for the show. There have been three previous episodes (#15,#51, and #92) and this marks the forth one to celebrate Friday the 13th, its mystique, its fascination, and its fear concerning this specific day. One of these days, there will be an episode about the franchise.
For now, this week’s episode will be discussing the bad randomness of video games, known by gacha players as RNG. Whether is programmed or human-induced, sometimes a random moment can make your experience less than pleasant to the point of utter frustration. We’re going to hear tracks from three of those games: four masked turtles on a mission, an alien invasion of worldly proportions, and kart racing at this best worst. We’ll also hear some covers and remixes to follow.
May Lady Luck be in your favor, lest she turn up her nose and spite you…
