Abnormal Mapping 14: Meat Loaf's Butt Stuff

This month’s Coolsoge kicks off with a bang as the Mappers are
joined by fellow David Cage veteran Destiny Sturdivant to talk a
boatload of games and the very ridiculous task that we’re all
going to undertake this fall. Also more than a little time is
spent educating Jackson on just what Meatloaf wouldn’t do for
love, because they has to learn somehow. The answer is
potentially “collect multiple cows” or “descend into Rapture” or
“select ninja dog.” But the smart money is on “keep his eyes dry
when a certain flower girls eats it.” Will we ever learn the
truth? Probably not on Disc 1, but if you stick around for the
secret ending and you unlock the 4th level of the tie-in cell
phone game, maybe the true answer will arise from the lifestream.
Only time will tell.


The Coolsoge Backlog Slog begins with us starting to play Final
Fantasy VII! We’ll cover up through disc 1 next month, and Em
will be a nostalgic, mopey mess for this strangely maligned
once-unassailable game.


You can find Destiny on Badland Girls, a cool junk culture
podcast that we heartily endorse!
