Jamie and Marsh wallop their way through a sea of fascists in Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and enjoy the peaches, pots and permadeath of Shiren the Wanderer 6. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is made by Machine Games, also known for the Wolfenstein reboot, its sequels and some brilliant level packs for Quake and Quake 2. Quinns Quest is a cool Youtube channel about TTRPGs Shiren the Wanderer 6: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island. You can hang out with us and our community on our Discord channel .

Chris, Jamie, and friend of pod Paul Canavan squat doon in a cundie with a bottle of buckie and some (probably vegan) haggis tae blether aboot Scottish games and games that aren’t Scottish. We talk the excellent thrills, chills, and repeated drops off of oil rigs of fab walking sim Still Wakes The Deep, the hand crafted psychedelia of indie curio Judero, as well as the addictive properties of Xenotilt, the visceral Clinton jump scares of CODBLOPS6 and the ugly, bonkers world of Straftat (Straftat! Straftat!). Still Wakes The Deep Judero and its charming making of video .

Episode 440: Arcane Mark Versus Evil Greg 1:55:31

Chris, Senior Tom and Marsh convene to talk Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, Diablo 4, Rise Of The Golden Idol, Xenotilt, Destiny 2 and then Chris talks about Dragon Age: Veilguard non-stop for about 45 minutes and it’s kind of incredible. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a game about cutting robots into many bits, or just two bits. Diablo 4 is a game about killing many things and number go up, but at what cost. Xenotilt is a pinball game that Jamie is now completely addicted to, thanks Chris. Rise Of The Golden Idol might be a tad disappointing. Dragon Age: Veilguard is a game about the Arcane Mark/Evil Greg dichotomy. Back Gold Teeth , Pale Tides , and buy Chris’ books here .

In which Tom Senior, Marsh Davies and Jamie Brittain convene on a perfectly normal and entirely non-epoch defining night in early November 2024 to discuss God Of War: Ragnarök at length, as well as providing various witterings about trailers good, names bad, books read and John Wayne movies for some reason. At one point Jamie gleefully imagines Kratos pulling the arms of a sacred deity. A good time is more or less had by all. God Of War: Ragnarök Monster Hunter Wild Caravan SandWitch Jamie is reading The Great When by Alan Moore, Educated by Tara Westover and In The Days Of Rain by Rebecca Stott Tom is reading Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, Blame! by Tsutomu Nihei, Akira by Katsuhiro Otomo Marsh is reading Maclom Gaskill’s The Ruin Of All Witches.

Tom S, Jamie and Marsh gather, like a drift of dead leaves, to discuss some seasonally spooky games: Alan Wake 2 and Mouthwashing. Also mentioned: Arco and Grunn. Painshill Park . The crystal grotto is closed on Mondays. Alan Wake 2 Remember Quantum Break ? My sympathies. Garth Marenghi is a better writer than Alan Wake, and he’s meant to be awful.

Marsh, Jamie and Chris convene to navigate the bouncy balls of Peglin, the less bouncy but surprisingly solid shooty-bangs of Warhammer 40K Space Marine 2, before failing to enjoy UFO 50 as much as they probably should.

Bonus Episode: Gold Teeth, Strange Stories and TTRPGs 1:15:51

Jamie kindly permits Marsh to talk about Gold Teeth, the tabletop roleplaying game he’s Kickstarting, which is just an excuse to ramble at length about roleplaying games more broadly with excellent chums Jim Rossignol and Chris Lackey. Gold Teeth ! It’s a game of piracy and occult horror! Strange Studies of Strange Stories – an excellent podcast that deftly unpicks literary tales of the sinister, supernatural or simply weird. Well worth a sub . Patton Oswalt thinks so! Strange Stories is also soon to be a roleplaying game. Free League’s Alien RPG Mothership (and I don’t think it’s too spoilery to say that the time-loop module is Time After Time ) Call of Cthulhu Marvel Superheroes Gamma World Star Frontiers Broken Compass is the game which inspires the matching-dice mechanism of Strange Stories Daggerheart is the system developed to replace D&D for Critical Role Thistle & Hearth – a dice-less game Starforged – a GM-less game with extremely elaborate world generation The Quiet Year is a map game in which the Frost Shepherds are coming. The Burning Wheel , Mouseguard and Miseries & Misfortunes are all games by Luke Crane. You can hang out with us and our community on our Discord channel .

Chris, Jamie and Marsh return to explain where the hell they’ve been, before launching into discussions of effervescent pie-em-up comedy game Thank Goodness You’re Here, following that with some entirely unbiased discussion of glorious turn based tactics game Tactical Breach Wizards. We also discuss cosmetic etiquette in the grimdark future hellwarscape of Warhammer: Space Marine 2, as well as briefly wandering betwixt the fireboys, electro-crocs and Spidermans of Shunt: Hoedown Hunt Showdown.

Episode 435: The Most Liminal You Can Be Is a Flume 1:24:56

41 weeks назад1:24:56

1:24:56

Jamie and Marsh reel from Microsoft’s latest layoffs, mismanage time in Hades 2, paddle in the uncanny, chlorinated waters of Pools, devour the bite-sized city-building triumphs of Against the Storm, and indulge their flaws in The Thaumaturge. The last lay offs of 2024. Thankfully there won’t be any more of those! Phew!! Nathan Brown’s Hit Points newsletter which I incorrectly namechecked as Bullet Points. Look, there are only so many pithy game-related analogies to go around, ok? Hades 2 , the much anticipated ARPG sequel – perhaps not ideal for the time-poor? Destiny 2 is unintelligible at this point, but the guns still go bang. Animal Well is a pixelart indie Metroidvania with notes of Fez and Cocoon. Knytt and Within a Deep Forest are two excellent pixelart indie Metroidvania’s from yesteryear. You can find them in Nifflas’s archive here . POOLS is about vibing in weird swimming pools. Dreamcore is about vibing in weird swimming pools, and then being jump-scared. Against the Storm is a city-builder for people who don’t have the mental capacity for city-builders. The Thaumaturge could be the best 7/10 RPG of the year. Terrific character. The Royal Mob – Jamie’s TV show about orgies and dying of exposure. Judas is a roguelike shooter from Ken Levine’s studio, Ghost Story Games. You can hang out with us and our community on our Discord channel .
