FEED DROP - This week, we would like to introduce you to Epic, a show from Realm. EPIC is your new HQ for Realm’s exhilarating action and adventure stories, with new episodes dropping every Monday introduced by host Faith McQuinn. Embark on your greatest adventures yet, whether it’s crash landing on a desolate planet with only a cerebrally-embedded AI to guide you, or realizing that your latest game design is the only thing staving off total global annihilation.  This episode is from the season Ctrl-Alt-Destroy. A video game designer discovers that the game she created has been stolen as part of a top secret project—and might be the only thing keeping the world from plunging into war.  While battling monsters and exploring dungeons in the world of Alternis, nations compete for real-world resources, and losing has catastrophic consequences. Desperate for help, Team USA hopes that bringing in the game’s actual designer—in secret—will give them the upper hand they need.  But in a futuristic world where losing has catastrophic consequences, is the game itself playing fair?
