    Everyone whips out their huge list of games this week as what is sure to be an exciting second quarter revs up. While that would normally be dripping with sarcasm, Andrew actually has quite the list of games this week so tune in and hear what he remembers to talk about before the Bucket List music rains on his parade.

    This week's collection of games is among the hardest around. Olivier tells us about new love in Axiom Verge despite Raph's constant reassurance that the game is actually no good. Our weekly From Software recap may potentially be our last as Raph and Olivier commit to a spoiler podcast that should be making its way to the site soon. Andrew continues to catch up on 2014 titles he missed with a quick commentary on The Talos Principle and how it may or may not have changed his life. Lastly, there are some handheld / mobile games that Raph and Anna discuss that inspires Andrew to yet again pull out his wallet in defeat. 14:35 - Axiom Verge 27:15 - Bloodborne / Dark Souls II 35:40 - Pillars of Eternity 36:50 - Mystery Game: The Talos Principle 42:45 - Box Boy 45:45 - Framed

    This week's 'cast has a delightful gradient of Mario Party to From Software titles and heavy RPG statsheets. Raph and Olivier discuss their adventures as they scrape the surface of the recently-released Bloodborne and Andrew tries desperately to be part of the conversation as he interjects with some Dark Souls II research that he fit into his schedule. Rounding out the show we talk about our Mystery Game: Xeodrifter and peek into the world of Pillars of Eternity to make sure that Olivier is still kicking around. Stay tuned at the end for one of Anna's classic rants about Interstellar ñ a movie she very clearly did not enjoy. 00:50 - To WiiU or not to WiiU 06:20 - Mario Party 10 14:10 - Bloodborne 26:10 - Dark Souls II 36:45 - Xeodrifter 38:15 - Pillars of Eternity 51:30 - Interstellar?

    Buckle up hip-kid listeners for another installment of a locally-recorded podcast with zany background wobble. Seriously though, it's a great week of discussion about Lindsey Lohan and games despite some less than desirable audio quality, our apologies. Stick around for Raph's groundbreaking discovery that everyone poops and that organs and not little digestive tract workers are the cause -- riveting radio. You'll also want to stop listenting around the 26-minute mark if you intend on playing The Order as I inadvertently spoil a major plot point, just skip ahead to 31-minutes. 11:10 - White Night 15:05 - Pneuma: Breath of Life 18:00 - The Talos Principle 26:15 - The Order 31:11 - Resident Evil HD Remaster 33:50 - Resident Evil Revelations 2: Episode 2 40:30 - Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate 47:05 - Rock Band 4
