Well, look here. It’s another Friday the 13th, the second one for 2026, in fact.
That means we’ll be looking into some mysterious and superstitious things, and for this week’s episode, it’ll be related to St. Patrick’s Day.
Normally, St. Patrick’s Day is all about luck and the Irish. People wear green, ornate themselves with a four-leaf clover, and hopefully find an Irish woman to kiss for luck. It’s a day to honor a 5th-century Christian missionary who was traveled to Ireland for evangelism. Oh, and of course, it’s a time to see some rivers and beers turn green.
However, we’re going to look at some unlucky things that could happen, in or out of St. Patrick’s Day. We’ve got some video game tracks to help us segue into this discussion (a lone girl who can summon creatures, a weapon of holy power, and a woman with extraterrestrial powers), along with covers to follow.
Time to get lucky and hopefully avoid some unfortunate circumstances…
