Episode 51: The Return of Friday the 13th (Video Games and Superstitions)
Muhahah! It’s BAAA-aaack…
This year, Friday the 13th appears twice, in January and in October. While most may think this is already looking like a bad year, I’d like to think that this will be most interesting 2023. If some of you listeners may remember, I like to consider myself a paraskevidekatriaphile.
This week’s episode, we’ll be talking about some of the superstitions of playing certain video games, while playing some original tracks and their covers and remixes. Whether you’re out collecting Pokemon, saving humanity with Servants, or traveling the new world with companions, there’s sure to be something that players do to ensure a higher degree of success or break out of a moment of bad results. Sure, we know it doesn’t work, yet we believe that it will somehow work.
Enjoy some fascinating tracks while avoiding the ladders, the cracks, and black cats in your path (by the way, nothing against black cats; they’re actually considered good luck in some Asian cultures)…
