Those video games that the kids are always playing. Almost seems like they're hypnotised by them, doesn't it? But what if kids really were hypnotised by a videogame?! And that videogame had somehow been programmed by an octogenarian circus magician and ran on every console? Wait, go back one.
Yes, this week's So Weird is about that old science fiction staple, an evil videogame, programmed by a retired magician, that hypnotises children into becoming stockbrokers. How will Annie overcome the dastardly influence of Banglebye? And how did they make this entire episode without ever once showing us the game? Listen and find out!
