Continue Podcast

BOY! Pay attention to your surroundings and listen to this episode of the Continue Podcast, which features loads of talk about the 2018 soft-reboot-slash-sequel of God of War. We also talk about how Eddie Murphy’s 1980s comedy The Golden Child hasn’t aged all that well, the Switch’s recent hacking woes, Doom 2016’s crappy final boss fight, and Wes Anderson’s culturally frustrating Isle of Dogs.

(Note: We wanted to do our God of War talk justice, so we get into some spoiler territory, which includes discussion of the way the plot and gameplay unfolds over the first dozen hours. While we don’t get *too* spoilery, if you want to avoid any God of War talk, skip from 20:46 to 52:03.)

Jim from The Office made a silent film in the year of our Lord, 2018. What a time to be alive. David talks about actually getting to see a movie in a dang theater and how it enhanced his enjoyment of A Quiet Place, as well as the bite-sized brilliance of PS4 indie Minit. Susan chats about trying out for Jeopardy, the mobile game Simulacra, an adventure game built around all of the different parts of your smart phone, and new updates to card-collecting game Elder Scrolls Legends. And Anthony talks about the stuff he played at PAX East, like the Contra-inspired Blazing Chrome and Below, a real video game!

David apologizes for his tin-can audio quality, but he didn’t want to keep the podcast train from leaving the station during his move. Our three hosts convene to compare Ni no Kuni 2’s completely bonkers opening to the original’s glacial pace, talk two decades of Kirby games with Kirby’s Dreamland 3 and Kirby: Star Allies, gush about Yakuza 6: The Song of Life, and discuss the joys of wasting 30 hours in Surviving Mars just to start over and make things more efficient.

Be sure to hang out with us at PAX East this week! Susan and Anthony will be on a variety of panels, including three hours of Game Show Night, and we’ll be meeting up with fans after the panel. Check out the schedule for more details at east.paxsite.com/schedule.

We’re a bit bouncy this week, and I assure you, it has nothing to do with the giant case of New “Coke” Anthony brought along with him. We talk about the interesting apocalypse of The Final Station, Keep In Mind: Remastered’s exploration of depression and anxiety, revisiting Final Fantasy 15 after a year and a half of a near-constant stream of updates and DLC, and reevaluating less-than-stellar old games thanks to the advent of new hardware like the Analogue Super NT.

Metal Gear is back? Kind of? Sure, let’s go with that. This week, David struggles with the video game version of Stockholm Syndrome that is Metal Gear Survive, Susan’s still playing Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and wants to chat about what makes a good side quest, and Anthony’s been enjoying the difficult yet rewarding challenges Celeste has to offer.

(FYI: Big-ish Metal Gear Survive spoilers at around 19:20, and lasts for about a minute.)
