Gonarch's Lair episode 47.5: A Diamond in the ROM

The Gonarch's Lair and Off-Planet podcasts

The possibilities are endless in the second part of this foreigner focussed foray, as Tim confronts the infamous interrogation faced by all past inmates of the Lair; the erudite detainee endures an oppressive onslaught of questioning unperturbed, deflecting verbal attacks with aplomb as the incompetent inquisitors insist on interpretations of their inane hypotheticals: his Desert Island games and video game persona choices, his character creation stat and the historical figures or celebrities he would play games with for a day, and which two retro games he feels inclined to inflict upon the next hapless hostage. While touring intrepidly through Tim’s entire history in gaming, the tiring ternion mention Alien Road, syntax errors, Goblin Mountain, Andy Carroll, X-Copy, American Fugitive, the Red Baron, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and 8bit colour palettes; we reveal the answer to Wayne’s Buttkiss cliffhanger, discover our cowboy names, and we debate the viability of an unconventional treatment for STIs. This scholarly slog draws to a close with a privileged insight into the private thoughts of our most popular presenter, as we pilot a brand new segment of the show: Inside Ross’ Mind. While recounting submissions from our listeners for this month’s cognitive conundrum, we outline the promotional taglines, main attractions, and logistics of running such a contentious establishment as Ghost Zoo; Thom announces his school ground nickname, Tim finishes off his limerick, and a listener suggests some Chernobyl-esque dramatisations. Bovine buggery includes Thom’s cow-hands, Ross’ deepest ever eye-roll and Tim cooking coconuts.
