Somehow... Jeff has returned. Braden and Chris force him back in front of a microphone to talk about Origin's infamous Ultima IX as a special bonus episode. The three Deep Endists cover such delightful topics as the game's troubled development history, its numerous gameplay problems, and disappointing story. Will they learn what a Paladin is? Does anyone still get that reference? No? I'm sorry. I've failed you all.
