   E20 Sissel Whittaker's (Ghost Trick)

   Here at scenic Lagging Thoughts Episode Description, we do our best to preserve the natural wonders of this world. Every way you look, there are wonders to behold, sights to see, and sounds to hear. Please take this map of the park, it will help you get around to see all the beautiful sights and surrounding attractions, such as: The Country's Largest Loop de Loop (just off of exit 14) House Oregon Beautiful, empty, wide open skies (blue) Swan's Lake (naturally occurring) The Sounds Cape Missile Be sure to keep an eye out for the Country's Smallest Loop de Loop, it fell out of our extra-dimensional golf cart near Reversal Resort and Luthiery, and we really need it back. This episode contains heavy spoilers for Ghost Trick. We strongly recommend playing the game before listening.

   E19 The Dangers of Conformal Cyclic Cosmology - A Cautionary Tale (Signalis)

   Here at Lagging Thoughts: The Podcast: The Show Notes, we are in tune with the fact that if something is worth doing, it's worth doing. This portentous presage has driven us to seek out Signalis. To prepare for the discussion, we recommend conjuring the following effectively evocative imagery in the red eye of your mind: Triangles Now That's What I Call Art History Triangles, but not the kind your grandpa would tell you about Oort cloud? more like bore-t cloud Put a pyramid of tortilla chips out with guac and call that the Sierpiński Serve Triangles (Nights) This episode contains heavy spoilers for Signalis. We recommend playing the game before listening. We also recommend playing the game after listening. Another time after that too, for good measure.

   E18 Nick "Recommends" (System Shock Remake)

   Gather round everyone, for another tale of taunting tyrants, tasteful textures, and tenebrous technology. Yes, pull up a neon chair, and let these conveniently comprehensible talking points guide you: Obstinate Pate Reduce, Reuse, Recyle :) Body-ody-ody (horror) Formicidaean activities Slammin beats (now give me a beat) Reassuring lack of bones **This episode contains spoilers for System Shock. We don't feel too bad about that since it's an old game, but we still recommend playing it first.
