We are going to be referencing White Wolf a lot, even though we have experience with multiple systems. Why? And why "the Old World of Darkness"?
We're going to talk about where we're coming from, what we like about the Old World and share some stories of how we got here.

Who is Morbius? When is it going to come out.
We record everything we know...before quarantine, but it should still be on schedule for March 21st, 2021.
In the 616 comic universe, Michael Morbius was a scientist born in Greece who became a Nobel Prize winning biochemist. He suffered from a debilitating blood disease and developed an experimental treatment involving vampire bats and electroshocks. Its side effects turned him into a pseudo-vampire who needed to consume blood in order to survive, and gained typical vampire characteristics such as an aversion to sunlight, and the powers of flight, enhanced strength, speed, and healing (a healing factor). His overall appearance changed as well: he gained fangs, his nose flattened to appear more bat-like, and his skin became extremely pale. Additionally, the victims of his bite would turn into living vampires themselves. When he first experienced the change, he killed the assistant who had helped him develop the treatment.
What will he be like in the film? We share everything we know so far!
FrankenCastle - He's so cool!

This week’s mission debriefs: News from the Video Game Awards and Sony’s State of Play.

- Gearbox is making another “Looter” type game, but this one is a “Looter-Slasher” and is a PS5 launch game. ‘Godfall’ looks ridiculous, in a good way.

- J.J. Abrams does J.J. Abrams things and teased Ahsoka Tano in Rise of Skywalker. Do we trust him?

In this “Done Quick” we talk about Resident Evil. Want to know all about this game but don’t want to put 20 hours into playing it? Then listen here and be ready to be the expert tomorrow!
The Top 5 Trivia:
- Resident Evil’s Japanese name is Biohazard. It had to be changed for American release because of a band with the same name.
- The Japanese version used the English dub even though Capcom recorded a Japanese version. This was, ironically, because Capcom thought the Japanese dub was too horrible. Funny enough the English dub is considered some of the worst in video game history.
- Albert Wesker is the only Resident Evil character that appears or is mentioned in every Resident Evil game except for the spinoffs. He is pretty much the catalyst for the whole series. In Resident Evil 0 he appears in certain cutscenes. In Resident Evil 2 & 3 the player can find his desk in the S.T.A.R.S’ office. If examined the player will say that it belongs to Wesker, leader of the S.T.A.R.S unit. In Resident Evil 4 he is mentioned by Ada Wong and seen on a small monitor. In Code Veronica he plays a vital role in the storyline, appearing in certain key moments. In Resident Evil 5 he is the main antagonist. In Resident Evil 6 he is mentioned by Chris Redfield when Chris is talking to Jake, Wesker’s son.
- Although the genre was not entirely new, this was the first game to use and coin the term “survival horror”.
- The canon ending can not be achieved in the game. The best ending for both scenarios has only three characters surviving (Jill, Chris and Barry or Jill, Chris and Rebecca). The characters Jill, Chris, Barry have all appeared in at least one video game taking place after the events of the original Resident Evil videogame. Rebecca returned alongside Chris in the Capcom produced CGI animated feature film Resident Evil Vendetta which is part of the main canon.
The “Done REALLY Quick”:
A man and a woman enter a spooky mansion, play with some animals and homeless people, set the bitch on fire and get the hell out of there, but with zombies.

History of Hyrule:
In the beginning, the world was created by the three goddesses, Din (The goddess of power that created the land), Nayru (The goddess of wisdom that created order), and Farore (The goddess of courage that created life). Before they departed, they also created the Triforce and gave it to the goddess Hylia for safekeeping. The Triforce embodies the three goddesses virtues, Power (the top piece), Wisdom (the bottom left piece), and Courage (the bottom right piece) and will grant a wish to anyone who has a balance all three of these traits.
So that’s creation. Remember these names because you’ll hear them again many times.

You can play the role of the shark in Jaws the board game. 2-4 players with the shark gaining powers based on how many humans it can eat. Looks cool, plus what could go wrong with eating the characters of the other players? • Now available at Target. Starfarer’s of Catan.
