#A Corporate Matter Episode: Definitely not a reference to a dark game about collecting souls.

Gnar "Wakes up." "Huh, what happened?"

Gragas "You died, mate."

Gnar "Gragas Caskbreaker? I'm dead? This place is so dark and evil looking, does that mean that I'm in-"

Gragas "Oh no no, you came back as some weird half dead thing. You need to collect some souls. Also, I suggest grabbing that sword and shield. You're gonna need them."

Gnar "Alright, but I don't exactly know how to-"

Gragas "LOOK OUT!"

Thresh "RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Gnar "AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" "Gets a hook in the face."

#YOU DIED

Gnar "WHAT THE HECK MAN, WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO ME."

Gragas "You died again. But seeing as how you only made it five feet from your spawn, you didn't lose much progress. I must say, most actually manage to kill the first enemy."

Gnar "So I just come back after death, weird. And what was it that killed me?"

Gragas "Chain Warden, pretty easy to take care of on their own. Like I said, almost everyone kills that one on their first try. I guess you are just a special kind of stupid."

Gnar "Well then, why don't you kill it?"

Gragas "I can't, I'm just a phantom. I am really just here to guide you. I can also wave, but other than that I'm generally pointless."

Gnar "Well, that explains the translucent look about you. I guess I will go kill it, now that I know what to do. DIE YOU CHAIN WARDEN!"

Thresh "RAHHHHHHH!!"

Gnar "HYA!!!" "Mashes attack button until creature ragdolls."

Gragas "Praise the sun, you have completed the most basic of tasks. Now, what really trips newbies up is-"

Fiddlesticks "SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

Gnar "NOT AGAIN!"

#YOU DIED

Gragas "The Scarecrow standing right behind the Chain Warden door. Waiting to strike after it smells blood."

Gnar "I HATE THIS!"

Gragas "Just you wait. Today is a good day to die, over and over again. Let's go, to see if we can't find you a way out of here."

A little while later:

Gnar "You know, I think I'm getting the hang of this."

Gragas "Praise the sun, finally. But you should really have your shield up when turning corners, and stop sprinting everywhere."

Gnar "Its fine, the Chain Wardens are slow. And with that armor I found, the Scarecrows don't kill me instantly anym-"

Karthus "Huya!" "Fires arrow."

Gnar "This isn't fun."

#YOU DIED

Gragas "Welp, back to the campfire. This is death number, wow! You are at seventeen already man. That may be a new record."

Gnar "So, what does that emblem on your chest mean?"

Gragas "That is the emblem of the sun. If you don't manage to get back to your home, maybe you can join me in Jolly Cooperation. On my one true quest to have my own sun. PRAISE THE SUN!" "Praising Intensifies."

Gnar "Why do I regret asking. Here, let's go down this ladder. Wow, I really love this vertical design. At least I can climb ladders without getting killed."

Gragas "Praise the sun!"

Gnar "You know, that gets really annoying. Oh look, a fountain with a mysterious statue in the center. Hmmm, there is a sword sticking out of the statue. I guess I will just take that."

Gragas "You can't be serious. There is nothing about this that makes you think. Hmm, maybe if I take the sword the statue will come alive and kill me?"

Gnar "Nope, that's too obvious. Besides, this sword looks pretty sweet."

Nocturne "DIE!"

Gragas "Great, now you have awoken the Cursed Revenant. I really doubt you have the skill to beat it."

Gnar "What are you talking about, this thing is easy. It attacks so slow, I can kill it with no problems. See, it's already at half health and-"

Nocturne "Oozy tentacles begin sprouting from its back. Some turn into an arm and others turn into a monster eel head."

Gnar "WHAT THE-"

#YOU DIED

Gnar "DON'T YOU DARE SAY I TOLD YOU SO!"

Gragas "This time, let's go up. There is a much easier boss on the top of this place."

A few minutes later:

Gnar "Man, that was awfully strong for a normal minion. So, where is this boss you were talking about?"

Gragas "Oh, the Black Scourge? He is right behind you."

Singed "Cough Cough."

Gnar "DIE DIE DIE! NOT FAIR, HE HAS A SHIELD TOO! I CAN'T HURT HIM!"

Gragas "YOU JUST GOT TO KICK IT. THEN HE WILL BE OPEN TO YOUR ATTACKS. AND STOP CHASING HIM WHEN HE RUNS!"

Gnar "HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KICK HIM. I AM A YORDLE, MY LEGS A SHORTER THAN MY ARMS! Oh man, my health bar is low, this is it for me. You lied, there are no easy bosses here."

Singed "Starts charging at Corporate Gnar."

Gnar "Dodges out of the way."

Singed "Falls off edge, down hundreds of feet."

Gnar "He fell off the edge, I WIN! I AM THE BEST, I KILLED THE BOSS!"

Gragas "PRAISE THE SUN! Although, I don't think that is supposed to happen."

Gnar "LETS GO, I DESIRE TO KILL MORE THINGS!"

Some time later, after much has been collected:

Gragas "You sure you don't want to rest at a campfire? Just so you have a nearby place to respawn."

Gnar "No, not a fan of fire. You would be surprised how quick fur ignites. Besides, I don't plan on dying."

Gragas "Well, be prepared to. The Iron Inquisitor is up next."

Gnar "I can take her. FOR NARNIA!"

Kayle "INTRUDER!"

Gnar "MY SHIELD, IT DOES NOTHING!"

Gragas "Duck and weave, DUCK AND WEAVE!"

A boss battle begins. It is, however, so graphic that we are unable to show it. And instead, can only provide a, very brief, censored description of it. Corporate Gnar won with very little health left.

Gragas "PRAISE THE SUN! I didn't think it was possible, but you did it."

Gnar "That idea of your was genius, I wish all could have witnessed that fight. I FEEL SO ACCOMPLISHED, I AM UNSTOPPA-"

Thresh "RAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

Gnar "Well f-"

#YOU DIED

Gragas "Told you to stop at a campfire, but now you get to kill everything again. And if you do it all without dying, you can get your stuff back."

Gnar "I DON'T WANT TO DO IT ANYMORE!" "Gets in fetal position and starts sobbing."

Gragas "Come on, don't be such a big baby."

Gnar "Just leave me here! Man, this armor is uncomfortable." "Continues sobbing."

Gragas "You are the most pathetic creature I have ever met. Fine, if you don't want to do it the right way, you can take the cowards path. There is a switch under that rock over there. Press it to open a secret passage. Follow that and you will be home and everything will be back to normal. But you will never know why you were sent here."

Gnar "WHO CARES, I'M GOING HOME, PRAISE THE SUN!" "Gets outta dodge."

"We will start out free champ rotation with Taric. Because he got a rework a while ago." "Riven go do the interview thing." Riven "Today I am joined by Taric the Gem Knight, or his new title, 'The Sheild of Valoran.' But I will still say Gem Knight." "So Taric, how is your day?" Taric "Truly, truly, Outrageous." Riven "I feel like you say that all the time. Anyway, is there anything else you want to say?" Taric "GEMS" throws item 3110 at riven Riven "DUDE WTF WHY" curses a bunch Hecarim "Alright Riven it's time you go home." Riven "BUT I DONT WANNA Fitem 3110KING GO HOME!!!!!" Hecarim "Uh, anyway.. onto our next guest, Tryndamere." Tryndamere "MY RIGHT ARM IS ALOT STRONGER THAN MY LEFT ARM" Hecarim "So Tryndamere.. do you ever stop yelling?" Tryndamere "Yeah. I just did." Hecarim "Good, good. I just wanted to ask you about the new Guinsoo's." Tryndamere "Oh, that fitem 3124king thing? It's pretty cool. it looks a lot prettier too" Hecarim "Welp, that was fast. Onto our next guest... uh.... Hecarim..?" item 3345 "Ya called?" Hecarim "..." "Let's just move on to the next one.." A FEW CHAMPIONS LATER.. Hecarim "Alright onto our last free champion, Brand." Brand "I'm gonna set the world on fire.. heh heh heh." Hecarim "Yeah whatever. So, what do you think about the rotating game mode queue?" Brand "Oh, it's pretty cool. OFA was pretty cool for me. heh heh.. cool" Hecarim "I was kinda hoping you would mention URF." Brand "Oh yeah, right that's when you get to be a helicopter.." Hecarim "DID SOMEONE SAY URF?! LET ME GET MY HELICOPTER COSTUME EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE-" Brand "..." "I'm just gonna go.." MissFortune "Well. That's a wrap guys! Hope to see you next time were we will talk about Bananas. And no, not the Soraka kind." Soraka "No one expects the banana." MissFortune "Shut up Soraka. Now heal me, I'm gonna die to Veigar." Veigar "Got a present for ya."

To be continued.
