This week we talk about the handful of games we think were the most influential from the 2010s.
We also talk about what we’ve been playing this week: Tinykin, Saints Row, The Walking Dead: Michonne, Midnight Fight Express.
The Jack Black Track - Ep. 253
Whoaaaaaaa Nelly, we got a heater of an episode this week! We discussed The Bechdel Test, if it is applicable to gaming, and what games successfully pass the Bechdel Test. We talked about a TON of games: Psychonauts 2, Twelve Minutes, Tales of Arise demo, Plague Tale: Innocence, A Link to the Past, and Super Mario World. It was that time of the month as we shouted out our wonderful Patrons. We wrapped up this lovely show with our social media polls!
There are spoilers during the Twelve Minutes talk. If you haven’t played the game yet, please use the time stamps to skip that portion of the conversation.
Dragon-like Interactions - Ep. 127
Fish was a dirty rotten bitch this week and decided to talk shit on Skyrim, so this synopsis is going to be petty and, quite frankly, ridiculous. This week, we decided to discuss games that were overrated or underrated with a revisionist history lens. The other three had great input and insight. However, the ichthyoid carcass washed up on the shores of the bog of eternal stench decided to blow his putrid bubbles in the way of a classic (really, he was right; I’m just bitter). Afterwards, we discussed our time with the Resident Evil 2 remake, Josh’s initial thoughts on Kingdom Hearts 3, and I’m sure Fish did something else in the show but I couldn’t care less about it. Oh, and we discussed dragons...because dragons are important. Enjoy the episode, and I hope Sheogorath drives you completely insane, Fish.
