Ep 3. #YumYum

In the third episode of Season 2 of Mythic Quest: Raven's Banquet, titled #YumYum, we see the team at MQRB working on a new project that involves food in the game. The episode revolves around the lunch party that the team hosts to test the new food elements in the game.

The first half of the episode is spent in brainstorming the new food items that the game will feature. Everyone on the team has their own ideas, and they discuss what kind of food would fit best in a medieval fantasy world. There are some hilarious suggestions, like a “Turkey Leg Sword” which is a sword made out of turkey legs, and a “Cheese Shield” which is a shield made out of cheese. At the end of the discussion, they settle on simpler food items like pies, bread, and soup.

Next, the team decides to test the food items in the game. For this, they host a lunch party in the conference room and invite all the employees to participate. The game developers use VR headsets to test the food items, and their reactions to the food are recorded to incorporate into the game.

The highlight of the lunch party is the “Pie a Dev” challenge. In this challenge, anyone can throw a pie in the face of any developer who is willing to participate. The catch is that if you miss, you have to buy pie for the entire team. The challenge is hilarious and is a great way for the employees to bond with the developers.

As the lunch party progresses, some interesting dynamics start to emerge. It is revealed that the company is experiencing some financial difficulties, and that there will be layoffs soon. This news brings a somber tone to the party, and it is interesting to see how the employees react to it. Some are visibly upset and try to avoid talking about it, while others try to make light of the situation and joke about it.

The episode does a good job of balancing the more serious tone with the more comedic elements. There are moments of heartwarming camaraderie between the employees, as well as moments of pure silliness (like when one developer tries to eat soup while wearing a VR headset).

Overall, #YumYum is an enjoyable episode that explores the dynamics between the employees at MQRB. There are moments of levity and seriousness, and the focus on food adds a fun, unique element to the episode. The episode also sets up some interesting plot threads that will likely be explored further in the coming episodes.
