"Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing, doubting, listening to Wide Flank..."

Sean and Alon are joined by three-peat guest Hayden aka Hac to dive deep into the darkness that lives eternally within us all. This month's Game Club is 2002's Lovecraftian cult classic Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem, developed by Silicon Knights and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo GameCube.
