Some games are true classics. Some should be left in the past. Some games survive the journey to the modern age completely intact and, in some cases they make that journey look effortless. Which one is Metal Gear Solid 3? Well, you'll have to listen to find out. Next game is Darkest Dungeon 2!!! Play along with us, and let us know your thoughts at …

We opened the podcast with 5 minutes of Matrix banter, and Daz could not be happier! Another in person ep, so you know the vibes are pristine.

Hey I've got an idea. It's never been done before. A game about what it's like to make a video game. But instead of being the dev, you're kinda trapped in the game as the main character... oh and for some reason you can edit the code of the creatures?! Man this sounds cool, I wonder what else... ? Guys? Anyone? Where'd everyone go??? Get your games…

This episode is probably not what you think it is, unless you happen to know a thing or two about obscure 90's edugame devs? Then yes, it's exactly what you think it is!

AI. That ol' thing. I think it sucks. It doesn't really do a good job of anything, apart from ripping off artists. But that's a story for another time. This week, we talk about some practical uses from a list of suggestions Joe brought. I'd like to think all these things would be doable in the very near future... but only if we can get over deep fa…
