Episode 107 - Samson

It's Ed and Reid on a new episode or--wait, that's not either of them. It's Decoy Octopus, from Metal Gear Solid! Join the master of disguise himself for a conversation about: Balkan Raven, Master Chief Corleone, an asymmetric Home Alone videogame, and some guards we like. Also Bosnia and Herzegovina.

It's a Halloween special, which means we're talking about stuff like President Dracula, halfway werewolves, scary games, YouTube comments, and how to kill ghosts. Ooo! Spooky!

Astrid, Ed, and Reid head into the fog for an episode about Screen Burn's Silent Hill: Townfall. Get more Bullet Points over at bulletpointsmonthly.com and patreon.com/bulletpoints
