Again in a surprise to nobody, the Heathens get derailed multiple times. The loose theme of this week's podcast is out of all the video games you've played, which characters would you not want to meet?

You can never get that first experience of playing a phenomenal game again. But what if you could? If you could go back and play your favourite game for the first time again and get all the emotions and shock and awe back, would you? That is the question the Heathens try to answer this week.

Matt loves Halloween and therefore partied too much and therefore lost his voice. With a voiceless Matt, the Heathens discuss which sequels outshone their predecessor.
