Things took a turn for the worse in a failed take of this and now we're left reluctantly finishing the episode. I am unlikely to continue into the remaining two episodes, but may consider it if you really want this for some reason. Needless to say, I'm grumpy in this one. If you want to put me in a bad mood, present me with a softlock, because I hate them with a passion.

I have a poll on stream times, so feel free to vote or comment on that here:    / @hightreasonlp  
Also do, by all means, suggest other things for either pre-recording or streaming if you'd like. I'm totally open to suggestions and do need to decide on something to play after SWTD is finished in a couple of weeks time.

Sludge is actually a song from one of the later episodes of the game. It might actually be one of Bobby's coolest songs, which is a shame because likely few people heard it.


To clarify the bug in question that has caused me to abandon the game:
If you are in the process for opening a door and take a hit, or get killed, before the door actually opens, one key may already be subtracted from the inventory, meaning there are now more doors than keys to open them. As the game places key items (shards, cards) behind doors, this can render a level impossible to complete. Evidently within the game loop, sound effects and inventory counts are processed before actually opening doors.
