Matthew The Giant We Hardly Knew Ye
Today is a sad occasion on The Electronic Wireless Show, as Matthew is leaving thepodcast, and we take the opportunity to go on a short hiatus while we search for a replacement by making staffers perform tricks for our amusement, reality competition style. But though it be sad, it is an occasion nonetheless, which means Matthew is going out in style as we build the ideal video game character dinner party. Spoilers: there is a giant ant and a boat full of cocaine.
As it’s his last day, Matthew also does a fiendishly difficult Cavern Of Lies themed around secret endings. Which of us will end up dead and loaded onto the cocaine boat while the others beat a retreat?

LinksOur dinner party will be taking place in the secret wine dungeon of that oneHitman 3level. The guest list is thus:
For a storyteller we have Dandelion the bard fromThe Witcher. We own that he might just be telling stories about Geralt, but that’s okay because Geralt isn’t going to be there.
The Iron Bull fromDragon Age Inquisitionis there as a fun toastmaster (and, incredibly, was not suggested by myself).
Fane fromDivinity Original Sin 2is there to perform close-up magic tricks and get pissed and reveal he is a skeleton when the evening takes a turn.
Big Socrates, the giant ant specific to Nate and Matthew’s playthrough ofBorderlands 3is under the table chewing a bone.
Elaine fromMonkey Islandis a feisty pirate with tall tales, and as a bonus will look after us when we all start throwing up.
Mei fromOverwatchwill be great for late evening practical bants and making snowballs. Also: science facts!
Lady Dimetrescu fromResi Village, and her presumably normal husband, are here to be awkward.
Food is provided by the cat people fromMonster Hunter. Music by the ‘nauts fromOuter Wilds.
Recommendationsthis week are the TV western dramaThe English,Defunctland’s documentaryon the Disney Channel bumper sting, and Matthew’s podcastThe Back Page.
