The Electronic Wireless Show episode 197: the most annoying NPCs in video gamesNot you again
Not you again
Welcome once again to The Electronic Wireless Showpodcast. As a counterpoint to the episode on the nicest blokes to hang out with in games, we’ve decided to talk about our most hated NPCs (a bonus prize to anyone who can guess which is the one we all say first). It’s an interesting one to discuss, because the line between intentionally annoying and unintentionally annoying can be very thin. Plus everyone tends to find different things annoying. Disclaimer: you are not annoying, any similarities you have to characters we find annoying are coincidental.
A huge digression this week because it’s Nate’s birthday! Wow! So we talk about his birthday and dressing as lobsters. This digression also has an effect on the tone of the Cavern Of Lies this week, which is something of a Nate-stravaganza. This episode is not going to be welcoming if you’ve not listened to our podcast before.

LinksWe all hate Claptrap fromBorderlands, that’s just a thing we all do now.
Nate has an issue with the innkeeper fromHearthstone.
Monokuma the bear thing fromDanganronpais a whole thing. I also have beef with Morgana fromPersona 5, although Matthew disagrees with me.
