Eight is a great number. It rolls off the tongue nicely, it’s useful for jokes about why the number seven is a bastard to nine and it rhymes with hate. I love this number, which you can flop on its side and then gaze at how it how transforms into the infinite. It’s also a running theme throughout 88 Heroes, a game which loves the number as more than just a friend. When you’ve got a cephalopod-themed villain obsessed with all things octal, you know you’re in for a weird ride.
