I&#8217;m not even sure the conversation will make sense. We might say nonsense things like, &#8220;Did you get the toaster ending? When the siren went off I didn&#8217;t know where to go, but then that door opened up and the narrator did the thing with the wastebasket.&#8221; It&#8217;s gibberish to someone who hasn&#8217;t played.<\/p>\n<p>The point being, this section is either:<\/p>\n<p>1) Terrible, terrible spoilers.<br \/>\n2) Annoying impenetrable nonsense.<\/p>\n<p><strong>14:00 Batman: Arkham Origins<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We also briefly digress into talking about the new Saint&#8217;s Row DLC.<\/p>\n<p><strong>27:00 Okay, I lied.

The previous segment is packed with Stanley Parable spoilers. It&#8217;s brimming with them.
