Mark tackles the solo challenge of trying to negotiate the release of some hostages from a crazed loon. What could go wrong? Highlights include:

- 3D Snakes and Ladders disappointment

- We've caught up with the backlog in some weird meta self-referencing

- Drink every time someone says 'Hostage Negotiator'

- Mark takes charge

- More than half your hostages dead? That's not a win is it...

- Edward Quinn needs to calm the fuck down

- It's called 'Hostage Negotiator' not 'Hostage Ignorer'

- Mark remembers to use the past tense
