Episode 59: You Wouldn't Download a Bus

from Literary Demerit · host Siobhan and Kester

Chapters 31-34 of Light and Dark The Adventures of Dark Yagami. As usual, there’s a lot going on in this story: we’ve got mind control, Lego coffins, time-traveling trains, a cyberspace adventure, Soichiro Yagami going to McDonald's, a chapter allegedly so sexy you will get too turned on and die, and so on. We also discovered the author’s old Twitter account, so for our second segment we read through a choose-your-own-adventure story told through Twitter polls.Content warnings: Same as usual for this author, plus we spend a little time investigating a Death Note parody that’s mostly just a series of fat jokes.(Additional music credits for this episode: "The Beast" by Shiro Sagisu from the Neon Genesis Evangelion Original Series Soundtrack © Milan Entertainment, Inc)
