28 Plays Later

Kris crawls free from a major, debilitating Hunter S. Thompson-esque Nintendo Switch jag for this episode! He and Paul discuss the allure of being able to play on the crapper, true. But they also talk the merits of open world games as approached by Nintendo (Breath of the Wild) and Bethesda (Skyrim)! You may also notice we’ve switched (ha) to tighter, shorter episodes – this means we’ll be able to get content out every week, and leave room for extracurricular fun (more news on this soon!)

As usual, thanks for listening! You can follow Kris on twitter at @krisstraub, and Paul at @paulverhoeven. And if you dig the show, tell a friend, and leave a rating on iTunes!

 

Rejoice! In a fit of consumerist whimsy, Kris went and grabbed a Nintendo Switch! He and Paul talk about Breath of the Wild, Splatoon 2, and whether the appeal of the Switch entirely comes down to being able to play it whilst taking prolonged poops. Curious as to whether the Switch can win over even the most jaded gamer? Tune in to find out the answer! Spoiler: probably, yeah!

BANG BANG! You’re dead, you replicant ass butt! That’s what WE would say, if WE were Blade Runners. Which we are! As far as you know. BANG! Oh shit! ANOTHER replicants! Welcome to our special Blade Runner themed episode of 28 Plays Later, in which – BANG! SHIT! – in which we talk Blade Runner 2049 (Paul was at the premiere and can’t calm down), the 1997 point-and-click Blade Runner RPG, and more! And speaking of more, BANG BANG BANG! We just killed THREE of those replicant!

Once you’ve seen Blade Runner: 2049, why not check out Paul’s editorial over at The Iris? It’s spoiler heavy, but chock full of BANG

The new series of Star Trek has hit, so this week, Kris and Paul delve into all things Trek! What is the best Star Trek game ever made? IS there such a thing? What would constitute a perfect Trek gaming experience for the boys, and will it include Odo’s bucket? This episode has numerous very deep dives into the darkest corners of Star Trek lore, from DS9 to *ugh* Enterprise, so we hope you enjoy it!

Don’t forget, we’ll be doing our live show at PAX Australia, so be sure to come on over and see us if you’re headed there!

This week, Paul and Kris delve into the seedy, confusing, addictive world of Bungie’s Destiny 2! And in a shocking twist, Kris has played a LOT more than Paul has. Does the game get Kris’ sweaty seal of approval? What exactly has stopped Paul from gaming as much as he normally does? And what do the boys have planned on the horizon?

Also, please enjoy our new animated short: Frasier, the Game! What if Frasier was a video game? Wonder no more!

 

As usual, if you enjoyed this week’s episode, be sure to tell people! Word of mouth is a very good way to spread the love, and, if you have gum disease, more gum disease. To other people.

Here it is! We did a live talk at PAX West 2017, live from Seattle! We discussed aggresive alpha-male game marketing in the form of energy drinks and giant carrots, the perils of soylent (and tried some live onstage – it was very viscous), and we unveiled a brand new animated sketch: the trailer for Frasier: The Game! If you like Frasier, or video games (or inexplicably, both), then you’re in for a real treat!

Thanks again to everyone who came along to see us in Seattle; if you missed out, you can catch us Saturday evening in the Wyvern theatre at PAX Australia!

PAX West is nearly here! Paul and Kris talk pre-order bonuses for the meal he’ll be eating on the plane ride to Seattle from Melbourne, the inexplicable-but-deeply-welcome resurgence of No Man’s Sky, Volition’s Agents of Mayhem, and more!

Paul and Kris explore an abandoned space station in the sci-fi exploratory Tacoma from the makers of Gone Home, and Paul interviews Scott Lowe from Naughty Dog on their upcoming Uncharted: The Lost Legacy!
