    Way back in 1998, Jeff and Bryan both bought a brand new CD ROM game with a revolutionary new conversation engine. It was Douglas Adams' Starship Titanic. Fast-forward 28 years and they decided to buy, from GOG.com, a re-released version compatible with todays operating systems. They discovered while playing it that they remembered almost nothing about solving the puzzles. Here they will talk about their feelings about the game and their journey through it. They will also present all the puzzles and their solutions. I would say "spoiler alert," however, you would be hard pressed to remember any of it.

    Volume three, The Salmon of Doubt, of the Dirk Gently comic books had bonus shorts at the end of seven of the nine3 issues. They lined up with the television series and did not follow any of the storylines of the comic. Jeff and Bryn are going to look at them all at once now since they did not cover them as part of their review of the issues in which they appeared.
