Chamberlain and Chance

Chamberlain comes prepared with a list of changes that would make Dead Cells enjoyable for old, cranky people. Chance counters with cruel facts and some very harsh words about Castlevania: Symphony of the Night being overrated. Feeling may have been hurt. Alex is still in love with Diablo 3 and may or may not have been sober at the time of recording.

Just when you thought the podcast was finally safe Chamberlain comes back. He has played a lot while he was away, including pushing his boundaries with Slay the Spire and Enter the Gungeon. He also started and is not sure how much he is enjoying Octopath Traveler. Chance and Alex are still playing Dead Cells, though Chance is not as in love with it as he was last week. And did you see that Doom trailer? RIP AND TEAR.

Chance and Alex are wallowing in the masochistic dungeons of Dead Cells and loving every minute of it, God of War sold very, very well and Chasm is a seven out of ten at best. 

Alex has fallen in love with that once-pretty-kinda'-bad game No Man's Sky, and Chance isn't sure he can commit to an unhealthy relationship with The Banner Saga.  Also, did you see Rampage?  It's okay! 

Alex is basking in the inner beauty of Slay the Spire, Chance has found a new muse in the form of The Banner Saga and holy crap there are a lot of changes coming to Overwatch right now.  

Abandoned to sail the unforgiving seas of the web without a navigator, Alex and Chance strike out for adventure and end up describing a series of turns in roguelike card battler Slay the Spire, and make history as together they discover a level of podcasting quality heretofore unknown to modern science. 

Chance has developed a passive, disinterested affection for Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, and did you know that Galak-Z: Varient S is a hate crime?  Turns out it is!

Alex’s internet connection was compromised by nazis so he will be unavailable until BJ rescues him, or a new modem arrives, whichever come first. Chance is disappointed in Isle of Dogs, disappointed in the Sombra changes and disappointed in Chamberlain for still not playing any more of Hollow Knight. In his defense, Chamberlain played a game he found fun, Steamwold Dig 2, and a game featuring a predictable but still effective punch in the gut, The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit. Too bad it was just an add for another game coming out later.

Was the decade plus wait for The Incredibles 2 worth it? No. Did Chamberlain complete his assignment of returning to Hollow Knight? No, he is a coward and played a Lego game instead. Did Chace play some Overwatch? What kind of a question is that. He even came across the rarest of creatures: a quality console Anna player. Is Alex done with Diablo 3? No. He never will be.

The nearly news free void of the week following E3 is filled with one thing: Hollow Knight on the Switch. Alex played some Diablo 3 and Chamberlain sampled a few games but all anyone really wants to talk about is Hollow Knight. It was so good that Chance played it instead of Overwatch and that hasn’t happened in months. Also, never listen to Chamberlain. He is a font of lies and poorly thought out but stubbornly held to opinions.

Welcome to the E3 Spectacular! Sony’s arrogance leads to great games in a poorly paced show. Microsoft’s infinite coffers create a great show full of great games but almost no exclusives. Bethesda wins the day while Square Enix and Nintendo barely came to play. And EA? No expects anything out of EA. And Ubisoft had a dancing panda. Again.
