Fire Escape Cast #141
Summary
Dan recounts smuggling cheese into the UK and eating a block in his hotel bed, while Mary shares a story about overeating Korean BBQ and getting sick. The group discusses their fears, including Mike’s phobia of apples and Dan’s fear of heights, illustrated by a story about an exhibitionist in Cologne. They then review the new Wolverine game, criticizing its lack of player agency and on-rails design compared to previous Insomniac titles. The episode concludes with a lighthearted debate about a competitive gaming score.
