Apology Graphics, Rise Of Kong, And Regulating Bad Games (The Jimquisition)

Skull Island: Rise of Kong has quickly become a legend of bad videogame lore. Astoundingly unfinished garbage, it's giving even that dreadful Gollum game a run for its money. In a year of abysmal videogames, many of which inspired Solemn JPEG apology graphics, let's start wondering if game quality needs some sort of standard enforcement.

I know this is a bit of a shot in the dark but I can't really find any good Jimquisition soundtrack playlists online and I love the music on the show so here goes nothing. I'm looking for the title of the song that plays at the timestamp 13:44 (https://youtu.be/D_ZL8xTwjnU?t=824), this song has been a staple of the show for many years and to me it marks the dark turn in an episode. I can't find this song anywhere so this is my last hope.

Stephanie, I appreciate you so much. I've seen a lot of reviewers talk about how awful the Kong game is, but they do so in a sort of amused way that I think actually builds interest in the game. I love the idea of recalling it as a defective product. Thank God for you.

In terms of not totally garbage games, Robo Quest came out of early access at some point. Looter Shooter Rogue Lite with cell shaded robots, I can think of worse way to spend one's time.
