For such a potentially ridiculous theme, the lads have brought some quite serious and sensible suggestions to the table. I can’t apologise enough. We do have a long discussion about Banana Man, and this week our Cavern Of Lies is a lovely special reader mailbag which I unfortunately introduce in an accidentally insulting way.

LinksImagine 200 Garruses (Garrusi??) inMass Effect. It wouldn’t work.

Nate suggests putting 200 factions in Age Of Empires II, orStarcraft. Or having 200 characters in a hero shooter likeOverwatch.

Matthew would like 200 bullets for your magnum inResident Evil, so you don’t end up using none because you’re too scared to use any. Also, he would like to do unlimited war crimes inDeus Ex: Mankind Dividedwith the Typhoon ability.

What wouldRed Dead Redemption 2be like if the gang had 200 increasingly confused people living in the gang’s camp?

Having not just a double jump but a 200-jump in something like Metroid would be weird but good, maybe?

I would like an RPG that is just 200 variations on that mission where you find a house of secret (obvious) cannibals.

Imagine a version ofHades, with 200 busted levels of hell, a game that you play for literal yeras meeting increasingly marginal side characters from mythology.

Recommendationsthis week are the movieFall, about being stuck up a tower, the movieX, about being slasher-killered to death for shooting a porn film, and to make a bowl withRJW Crafts
