Durandal has gone Rampant, and is in contact with the Pfhor and S'pht aliens currently infesting the Marathon! Leela wants us to flip some switches that will apparently help with... something. Not really sure what. Of course, before the switch-flipping comes the Pfhor-killing, and there's plenty of that to do in this level, including the new variant mentioned last episode by Leela-- the Pfhor Trooper.

Welp, I think I'm gonna stop nitpicking because I have a feeling it's pretty annoying, and just say good episode.

In reply to: Re: ASE Ep. 31: Couch Fishing Marathon 1 lvl 5Welp, glad that worked.
In response to your latest response to me in the comments of the last episode (...nope, that sentence checks out :P), I wasn't saying don't summarize or don't read the terminals, you spend like a few seconds [i]literally[/i] saying that a terminal is supposed to give us exposition or objectives. Not saying that you shouldn't read or summarize, that's important, just don't spend a few seconds troping. (tropeing? trope-ing?) I keep saying this because I'm pretty sure you've been misunderstanding, but if you're not and I'm misunderstanding your responses, then sorry for repeating myself :P
