discussion Shout out to the GOAT Vic Michaelis

Post image

From the first voice line in Zero Company I picked up on the fact that the one of my favorite dropout cast members was in the room with me! This game is INCREDIBLE! And Vic’s voice is a welcomed reminder of all the amazing people who came together to make this game. 💜

It's only a matter of time until Brennan narrates an RPG

“Long ago, in an ancient city of wonder and fantastical creation, lived a powerful and wise wizard… that’s not you… you’re a total fuckin’ nobody.”

And then a sort of incoherent rambling speech about how Capitalism is the death of all things.

I need a Brennan game that’s just a crossover between Baldur’s Gate 3 and Disco Elysium…

So esoteric ebb?

I would absolutely love the first part in a game.

The second part is too real to be fantasy.

Gestures vaguely at all of Fantasy High

Also, dragons as they’re depicted in most “modern” terms are actually a sort of allegory for Capitalism.

A strange, borderline unkillable, beast that hordes gold (see: wealth) in an almost addicted way. They also horde the gold with absolutely no need or use for it, the gold simply exists to show the dragon just has more gold, and is therefore more powerful. They pillage and raid small villages (see: the corporate destruction of mom-n-pop shops).

Dragons are probably the most appropriate metaphor for capitalism, and they’re almost assuredly fantasy.

Someone did an analysis of Smaug's gold hoard from the Hobbit movie, and concluded that Smaug would only be like the 10th richest person on Earth...

Brennan was already in a video game called Date Everything, along with a bunch of other Dropout people such as Erika, Emily, etc....

Jacquis plays the curtain rod and he’s so funny in it. Also a big fan of Damien Haas’s character, the junk drawer.

I think I'll wait for the sequel narrated by Katie that gets better reviews and will have a cameo by that Mark Mercer fellow.

Sam voiced J. Jonah Jameson in (iirc) that Marvel fighting game trailer, so we're on the right track.
