Episode 0003, Part 2: Surely, you must be joking!

The Basement

The Endorians are back! Albert, Mike, and Bad Gamer Crowley return like rabid Ewoks (just go with it) to bring you Part 2 of Chapter 0003 of Ready Player One. We pick up right where we left off with a brief touch and go on Starlog magazine, and then rip the Star Wars bandage off exposing the double trouble duo of Caravan of Suck and The Battle for Endor.
