Episode 422: Bottomfully Endful

Jamie and Marsh journey into the distant past in the hopes of forging an alternate timeline where the episode’s prologue makes sense. In doing so, they ponder the dark Drakes of Uncharted 4, the deranged doubts of LA Noire and the dream dogs of Bloodborne.   Outlander references clearly do not possess the anticipated levels of cultural resonance. Uncharted 4 is a game about being frustratingly reasonable with friends and family, admiring broaches, and mowing down bazillions of enemies in stunning locations. LA Noire is a game about shouting unexpectedly at little old ladies, who may be lying, but are not lying in quite the right way. Bloodborne is a game of sick delirium and celestial terror that is somehow a lovely place to go back to.  You can hang out with us and our community on our Discord channel.

Episode 420: Don’t Mind My Abominable Horde of Darkness

Jamie joins Marsh to discuss the imminent game glut, puzzlesome reverse dog-trial Humanity, super-stylish brawler Sifu and clever Counter-Strike-alike Veiled Experts.  Diablo, Street Fighter 6 and Amnesia: The Bunker are all poised for release, while Bungie’s Marathon jangles gaudily on the distant horizon. Quirky puzzler Humanity has lots of bodies but perhaps fewer brains. Flee the unfinished quest icon deluge in The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.  Sifu is a kung-fu combat game that cleverly blends arcade, roguelike and cinematic disciplines. Thirdperson team-shooter Veiled Experts throws a lot of ideas at Counter-Strike’s format and, surprisingly, a lot of them seem to stick.

Episode 418: Lawless Sausage-Craft

Marsh and Jamie’s treason finally consigns them to Darkest Dungeon 2, where they lament what Jedi Survivor means for Marsh’s wallet, unpick The Spider of Lanka’s web of intrigue, have a cold shower in Shadows of Doubt and plunge headfirst into Thumper VR.  Triumphantly grim roguelike roadtrip sequel, Darkest Dungeon 2. More soon, ish, on STAR WARS Jedi: Survivor.  The Spider of Lanka is the superb DLC for The Case of the Golden Idol.

Episode 416: Puke or Bees

Marsh is joined by game dev and writer Jim Rossignol to discuss the grotesque tabletop roleplaying game they have made together. It’s called TEETH, it’s about occult criminality in a cursed corner of 18th century England, and it’s Kickstarting right now!   Kickstart TEETH (if you like)!  Watch our Kickstarter trailer at the link above or on Youtube for a quick catch-me-up on the game accompanied by some superb hurdy-gurdy music.  Our last three mini-adventures, Night of the Hogmen, Blood Cotillion and Stranger &amp; Stranger are on itch. Night of the Hogmen is even free.  Symbaroum is the TTRPG set in a horrible forest that partly prompted this creation.  Blades in the Dark is the TTRPG from which our rules are adapted.  We list STALKER, Hound of the Baskervilles, Buffy, Hunt: Showdown, Blackadder, League of Gentlemen and Jane Austen as being among TEETH’s influences. Sathnam Sanghera’s revelatory Empireland informed some of the revolutionary aspects of the game.  You can hang out with us and our community on our Discord channel.

Episode 415: Null and Void Dance Mat

It’s a laid-back one this week as Jamie and Tom S convene to admire the gentle art of booting a panda through a wall in Tekken 7. There’s more spectacular booting to be had in DmC: Devil May Cry and the stompy Dead Space remake, but can any of this compare to the thrill of an old console whirring up a CD Rom to play a 10-second cutscene in 1997? Join us for additional nostalgia, open world discussion, sad dads in space, and more. Hit random on the character select screen and enjoy the consistently entertaining nonsense of Tekken 7.The IP-mangling Warner Brothers brawler we couldn’t quite recall is Multiversus.Soul Calibur 6 is also good fun, and has lots of bonkers customisation.We mention Street Fighter 3: Third Strike, available on PC as part of the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary package. Here’s the extraordinary Justin vs. Daigo parry sequence from Evo 2004.Tom is still trying to get halfway good at Guilty Gear: Strive. Bring back Bedman!DmC: Devil May Cry is still a gem. Devil May Cry 5 expands the combat sandbox across three characters to superb effect.Open world chat: Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Skyrim, Shadow of the Colossus, and Elden Ring. Also Forspoken, briefly.Ghost of Tsushima has a lovely, whooshy wind guidance system.Hyper Light Breaker is the new game from Heart Machine.Below is difficult, mysterious, and has great music.The venerable sad dad in space tradition continues with the intriguing Deliver Us Mars.What makes a good remake? Dead Space and Final Fantasy 7 get a mention, before we reminisce about the days when tiny cutscenes felt like an incredible reward. You can hang out with us and our community on our Discord channel.

Episode 414: Bob Never Made It To The Tournament

A group of friends who work in the games industry meet up once a week to talk about PC games over a drink. “Off-the-cuff” is a polite way to say “unprofessional”, right?

Like the show, except when Pip is on and drags the entire conversation into nonsense and despair.

Usually Great

You know you’re in for good pod when the show notes make you laugh!

Hurrah for C&C!

The Crate and Crowbar

Chris, Tom, Tom and secret Pip discuss Steam sales, Diablo III’s Necromancer, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, and more. Plus: meditations on the question of review-bombing, how the radishes are doing, assorted crime, and an extended discussion of Poirot for some reason. Looks like meat’s back on the prix fixe, boys.  Diablo III got its Necromancer this week. PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds got a brilliant patch, too. Chris wrote this article for Eurogamer about PUBG’s roots in dodgy survival shooters. Find out about Chelsea Saunders’ garden-mowing game on her twitter. Enjoy our spotty misremembering of this Murder on the Orient Express trailer, which neither features the Imagine Dragons song we think it does nor the number of dubstep womps that Chris thinks there is.

Here is the studio, laden with Objects of Power. Tom S delivers his most medium take yet on The Outer Worlds. We’re all still having them big thoughts about Disco Elysium. Alex has been dabbling with Radio Commander. Pip looks ahead with trepidation to Teamfight Tactics’ Rise of the Elements update. Favourite books!

Episode 236: Doggard Cain and the Time Terrier

Tom S, Chris and Alex check in on VR, consider the gorgeous eggs of Final Fantasy XV, and ponder the literary aspirations of Beckett.  Oculus’ critical Rift whoopsie has now been resolved. Here’s The Day Today’s remarkable foreshadowing of the experience of using Google Earth VR. Here’s Final Fantasy XV. And here’s the most important thing about Final Fantasy XV. Alex has been playing Beckett. We digress (imagine!) to discuss how great Thirty Flights of Loving is. Chris doesn’t have a GTX 1080. He has a GTX 980. That’s a hundred fewer graphics points!

Chats at Rezzed: Robert Kurvitz on Disco Elysium

Tom F and Chris break into the pod chamber to discuss the latest wave of gaming subscription programmes, the pipe edge situations of Overland, and some game about a goose you probably haven’t heard of. You’ve always got some redundant beans.  The subs models in question are Apple Arcade, Xbox Game Pass, Humble Monthly and Google Play Pass. The tweet that Tom quotes regarding the negative impact of the Google Play Pass’ playtime-based developer reward model is this one, by Will O’Neill. Everybody’s gone to the Untitled Goose Game. Here’s that video of a woman desperately attempting to brush a panda pen. Tom’s lone inventory slot is stacked with Overland opinions. Organ Trail is the zombie-themed Oregon Trail-like that Chris mentions.  You can hang out with us and our community on our Discord channel.

Episode 296: It’s Like There’s A Whole Other Goose In My Car

Chris, Tom F and John Roberts discuss indie news, Seven: The Days Long Gone, Destiny 2’s first expansion, Sorcery!, Shadowhand, and more. ‘More’ in this case includes the opportunity horse, the verb ‘to suchet’, a bit of Warhammer, the changes to Patreon, our upcoming Christmas specials, and so on.  Joakim Sandberg’s Iconoclasts has a release date! As does Gorogoa! Davy Wreden is hiring programmers. Bennett Foddy’s Getting Over It is out. Bridge Constructor Portal is a thing. HUMANITY(tm). A videogame. Here’s Patreon’s blog post about the changes, which we unpack a bit in this episode. John’s been playing Seven: The Days Long Gone. Here’s Shacknews’ Quake making-of, shamefully not called ‘The quaking of’. Chris has been having an okay time with Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris. Tom fell down a big hill in Sorcery!. Ponder the opportunity horse in Shadowhand. How many jokes can we wring out of Deus Ex and the City? The answer: less than you’d think. Finally, Chris’ terrible case of generic videogame man face strikes again, this time in XCOM 2  You can hang out with us and our community on our Discord channel.
