The Flame in the Flood

Summary
The Flame in the Flood episode is the second episode of Void Eon released on the 11th of December 2016.

Origin
Originally John wanted to review the Mario Land games to follow up the first review. These reviews would feature Johnny from the 2016 Halloween special. Johnny being the psychotic clone that he is does the daring stunt of locking John/Adam Sesa out of his in these scraped episodes. After scrapping the Mario Land reviews John had come to a decision to review The Flame in the Flood or To the Moon.

Despite using music from To the Moon in every Void Eon episode John has never actually played the game. When he was younger he stumbled onto PewDiePie's playthrough of the game. He watched it and liked what he saw. At the time of the review being picked John had played TFITF but not TTM (as of this being written (20/2/19) he still hasn't played it) so realistically TFITF would be the better option. That fact isn't the main reason why John picked TFITF though. One day in class when everyone was at their lockers (which were located in class because Australian schools are radical) John had asked someone next to him which one of the two games he should review next. John's classmate Robbie turned to John and nonchalantly answered "The Flame in the Flood". Since it was an opinion from the outside world it stuck with John. Present day John thinks that he was leaning more towards TTM back then. Robbie doesn't know it but he changed the course of TUG era for the better.

John was leaning more towards TTM because he thought that it would be more interesting but looking back on it if John had chosen TTM then the second episode would definitely not be as good as TFITF. Not only when it comes to the review but also when it comes to the narrative segments. Robbie is a good lad. Thank you Robbie.
