Summary

In 2003, a group of young. inexperienced game developers set out to make the greatest video game ever made: The Zybourne Clock. Alas, due to in-fighting and not actually knowing how to design a game, this dream was never fully realized, save some grammatically inferior scripts, fan art, and nods from the gaming community at large. Now, thanks to a shocking discovery in December 2019, the story of The Zybourne Clock is being retold by a new generation of edgelords. Enter Freddie Wong, keeper of lore and Internet memes and the proud owner of a rare piece of Zybourne Clock memorabilia, recently purchased at auction for a staggering $5,100.00 (real dollars not bitcoin). Join us, as we explore the epic game that never was, and meet the one man whose passion for The Zybourne Clock never stopped ticking. Also, we play "Am I the Asshole?"
