The mysteries of the sea factor heavily into this edition of Short and Shivery as David, Dead Palette, Allen and SoberDwarf break away from the video game stories and take a swan-dive into the unknown depths. Will these oceanic tales yield terror or dread, or do they still flounder in the kiddie pool?

No one seems to think of the impact their actions will have on future generations, not even the crew of this episode, as you'll soon hear. With SoberDwarf in tow they read an Earthbound story that seems to be an in-universe account: a prequel, perhaps? Regardless, things get a little weird, but not because of the story...
"The Cosmic Destroyer" is credited to TheCosmicDestroyer (naturally).
This isn't the Sonic Creepypasta many were hoping for, but it's what you get in this episode. David, Dead Palette and SoberDwarf examine this Sonic Adventure 2 story of weird glitches and uncomfortable subject matter that, once again, seems handled clumsily.
"Maria's Revenge" and the background image are credited to FictitiousAnimation.
SoberDwarf returns to help David and Dead Palette with his knowledge of Dark Souls, because they're going to need it when reading this story that was, apparently, written for people in the know about it. Will it surprise everyone, or - like most haunted game pasta - will it fall flat?

The gang and SoberDwarf may not be experts at dating, but they do know the warning signs when this story's protagonist is abut to get in over his head and settle down with the "perfect" woman he met. Will this story warrant a second date, or will it never get a call back?
"Dating Game" is uncredited. Read along here.
No one expects anything good out of a haunted game Creepypasta anymore, especially with a title like this. Yet the gang perseveres, along with returning guest SoberDwarf, to see what tropes and cliches litter this particular work about an SNES favorite.

The gang meets up in Dead Palette's neck of the woods to host a panel at Ohayocon 2017. David, DP, Kaela, SoberDwarf and newcomer Chelsea Comer all sit in for a live performance of a Creepypasta classic and then a blind read of a story chosen by the groans of the audience at the mention of its title...
SoberDwarf sticks around for a hopefully satisfying conclusion as the gang reads the show's first "Haunted Game" story. Delving into a strange an unsettling mod for Morrowind, will it be one to keep or a shoddily-made mess?
"Jvk1166z.esp" has no known author.
Special guest SoberDwarf joins David, Dead Palette and Allen for a story with a very long name but a very promising setup. The title says it all, but will it have the narrative weight to back it up?
