Episode Two: But IS It A Game Really, Chad?
<p>Welcome to episode two of the Café Obscura Podcast, where we'll be taking on some supernatural 'games'! </p> <p>You know the kind of games we mean - we're talking about the kind of 'game' where your friends lock you in a bathroom with a candle, make you say something about killing babies, and OMG DON'T MAKE ME GO BACK IN THERE, JESSICA!!!</p> <p>*Ahem*</p> <p>Sorry, where was I?</p> <p>Ah yes, those games. Tonight, we're talking about three games in particular that we feel have a good chance of someone, or some-being, knocking back. Along the way, we'll be discussing some of the parallels between these games and older forms of magic, as well as doling out some of our customary bad advice.</p> <p>So grab yourself a cup of the good stuff and settle in for some truly bad ideas.</p> <p>Because after all, what else are you going to do when Julian Halloween lands on Friday the Thirteen in this year's giant game of Jumanji?</p> <p>May the odds be ever in your favor, gamers!<br> <br> <strong>Sources<br> <br> </strong><a href="https://theghostinmymachine.com/2020/06/24/the-most-dangerous-games-the-shuffle-game-or-a-beginners-guide-to-shufflemancy/">Shufflemancy </a><br> <br> <a href="https://www.wordhippo.com/what-is/the/greek-word-for-bfc6aadae625e521235cc1171227893ec01d31b1.html">Manteia</a> <br> <br> <a href="https://theghostinmymachine.com/2020/10/28/the-most-dangerous-games-dream-of-the-dead-peaceful-dead-halloween-october-31/">Dream of the Dead</a> </p> <p><a href="https://theghostinmymachine.com/2020/10/14/the-most-dangerous-games-mother-midnight/">Mother Midnight</a></p> <p><a href="https://i.imgur.com/j4RZw.png">The Midnight Man</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/nosleep/comments/1e73fy/the_midnight_game_i_played_it_and_i_was_a/">Midnight Man Experience</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/mother_midnight">About the term 'Mother Midnight'</a></p> <p><a href="https://theghostinmymachine.com/2019/09/03/dangerous-games-to-play-in-the-dark-is-now-available-from-chronicle-books/">Buy 'Dangerous Games to Play in the Dark'</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.archaeology.su.se/polopoly_fs/1.288568.1467018819!/menu/standard/file/Mattsson_McGinnis_Meghan_Paalz-Ring_Out_Your_Dead.pdf">Ring Out Your Dead (Paper on Iron Amulets in Late Iron Age)</a></p> <p><a href="https://mariannehemeriksen.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/eriksen-marianne-hem-2013.pdf">Doorways to the Dead</a></p>
