019 - Steaming Along The Neon Road

Hey all,
 
We made use of a dynamic new method of recording technique otherwise known as being in the same room  at the same time.  Most likely this is how we are going to do what we do from now on, so please enjoy how good the quality is and how good it’s going to be.
We jump straight into some VERY interesting news about the Google award winners: http://m.androidcentral.com/google-announces-2017-google-play-award-winners
There’s also a rumbling from Microsoft about their new streaming platform mixer, which could very potentially force Twitch to up their game plan.  Interesting times for E-Sports ahead I think: https://www.engadget.com/2017/05/25/microsoft-beam-is-now-called-mixer-4k-stream/
 
Also, we found out the setting of the new Far Cry game and both of us are VERY excited.  The new change to the locale and the people you’re coming up against as a very interesting sign of the times and the current zeitgeist of the American political situation.
 
But what have we been playing?  Well Paul has been re-living much of his childhood in Neon Drive, which is a game about driving to seductive and pumping 80’s synth music while being bombarded by light and colour.  In my case I have been having a damn good time with Steamworld Heist, which is what you would get if you got Worms and XCom drunk and naughty with each other.  In a good way.  I also need to correct something I said in the recording.  I have actually put about 7 hours of gameplay into it, not 4.  Both of these are available in the current Indie Humble bundle and getting both for less than either are on Steam for is a damn good deal in our respective books.  Paul even did  a playlist for you all!

We take a look at some very interesting Kickstarters featuring Hand of Fate, a board/card game based on the excellent video/card game!

We’re also preparing for a VERY political showdown and what will be a great live episode with the Presidential edition of legendary showdown: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/killer-robot-games/legendary-showdown-presidential-edition
And for those of you that cannot get enough dungeon crawling we might say you should look into this one: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1746130610/ravage-dungeons-of-plunder-aint-no-heroes-here?ref=3p87dx
 
Paul will also be co-hosting on an upcoming episode of a new podcast called talking.fail so all ya’ll head on over and say something nice about them: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/talking-fail/id1229502725?mt=2
