The Tangent - 99: Hoggin' It Up

We're one away from the big 100th episode and we're not even sure how it happened. What we do know is that there are some giveaways for all you fine listeners. So make sure you listen the episode to get all the details.

Brian picks himself first in Under Your Thumb this week and he's got two games to share. First, Quest of Dungeons. It's a turn based dungeon crawler and it's pixel art. What more could you ask? Then it's Stories: The Path of Destinies, a game that Anthony has talked about on the podcast before. Anthony also has two games this week. Hyper Light Drifter is another 16-bit style game and it ends up being an action adventure RPG. He seems to be a fan. Following that is Dragon Quest 8 for the 3DS which was just very recently released. A game that he has played before on the PS2. Gary's got some Steam games for us this week. Who's Your Daddy? is less like Showering With Dad, but still just as ridiculous. He also can't help being topical with the game Mr. President. Rounding out his Steam games is Orcs Must Die! It's a tower defense game that puts you in the action. Gary's final game was Dishonored 1. Ending things this week is Justin, and also with two games, Mass Effect 2 and Dishonored 2.
