We wrap up this book! It's not great, but it does its job of making us actually want to play the game. It's like 10 pounds of story in a 1 pound bag. And the story is leaking everywhere.

This book is less of an adaptation and more of a tie-in/follow up for those that have played Returnal. Yar thar be spoilers abound. Also my mic sounds kinda cruncy here. I feel like I wanna replace it? Maybe? Our Socials Follow us at patreon.com/pixellitpod and hop into our Discord! Blue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/pixellitpod.com Instagram: http…

There's a GIANT and his name is Dunstan! So that means I gotta make the one reference that I know for the name Dunstan. This is what happens when you come up short in media exposure to a name.

If there is one thing we learn about King Graham in this King's Quest adventure is that his Queen, Valanice, is so hot that even the faerie folk are jealous of her. That's a serious smoke show. Uhhh anyway welcome back to King's Quest! Our Socials Follow us at patreon.com/pixellitpod and hop into our Discord! Blue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/pixe…

Oh boy. Phil didn't even finish reading the book and Kevin nearly defenestrated himself finishing it. Book is bad folks. Real bad.

This has to be it. The low point right? There is nothing remotely interesting about this book aside from the anger that it stirs inside of me like small, tiny star. But that would be impossible because as we know if I had a star inside of me then it would consume me, and also Doc Ock would not be able to contol it with his tentacles. The power of a…

Wow this one ended with a bang! And like full on 1970s Stephen King adaptation ending with like vaseline on the lens of the film camera. Just weird and stuff. Anyway, we liked it! WHODATHUNK. Okay.

That's right, I'm saying it, with 2/3 of the book done I'm calling it, this is the best book. Of the FNAF trilogy. To be clear, it's like a good book but the fact that we are so over the top in the praise is mostly because of what came before. You know, like a coconut or something?

Hey look it's a book by friend of the pod John Shirley! Let's take a look-see! Are Phil and I the biggest Borderlands fans? Absolutely not! So this could go one of two directions.

The last third of this adventure seemingly is more of an adventure than the other two thirds of the book, but it's way too little too late for Max Brook's vision of Minecraft. We will probably get around to reading the other parts of this thrillogy at some point though to see where it leads. Our Socials Follow us at patreon.com/pixellitpod and hop …

Okay this book mayyyy be one of the most boring that we have ever read? I'm not sure where it's going, there's not a TON of stuff happening, there's not a lot of drama that doesn't feel like all the tension has already been drained out of. I dunno. But hey Kevin learned a new word, Epistolary! So He's going to be using that more than he should over…
