Episode 10 - Zork

Nate, Sebastian, and Ryan discuss the origin of interactive
fiction, the efficacy of weasels as a rat-control solution, and
whether Dolly Parton is a time traveler from the future. Along
the way, they consider Infocom's seminal classic text adventure:
ZORK. Join us as we dive into the Great Underground Empire, and
stick around to see if anyone gets eaten by a grue. 


Guest starring Kari as the voice of Zork.
