Episode 176: Friday the 13th – Summertime Superstitions

One of my favorite days of the week, Friday the 13th, which means it’s time for something superstitious and mythical. Previous episodes have discussed fear (#15), death and dying (#51), video game superstitions (#92), RNG or randomness (#136), and Christmas (#149). For this Friday the 13th (the only one happening in 2025, in fact), we’re discussing a few superstitions and myths during the summertime, according to Grok (an AI assistant). We’re playing tracks from video games that have or mention these superstitions: an adventurer able to control the weather, a white wolf saving Japan, and a hunter saving a cursed town. As always, there’s also covers and remixes to follow each track. Enjoy learning about some of these summertime superstitions and myths…     Track Listing “The Great Sea is Cursed” – [The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker] – composed by Kenta Nagata, Hajime Wakai, Toru Minegishi, Koji Kondo “Zelda: The Wind Waker – The Great Sea is Cursed (Reorchestrated)” – remixed by HoopsandHipHop “Agata Forest” – [Okami] – composed by Masami Ueda (Clover Studio) “Okami – Agata Forest (Geass Trap Remix) [Phonk Instrumental]” – remixed by Geass Studio “Moon Presence” – [Bloodborne] – composed by Ryan Amon “Moon Presence – Metal Cover” – covered by Ekstal   YouTube playlist Discord channel   Source
