It’s spooky season again, and we’ve convened to watch Silent Hill, the 2006 video game adaptation directed by the same guy who made The Brotherhood of the Wolf. Is it a misunderstood classic? Does Sean Bean eat it in this one? How does Pyramid Head manage those gains? Watch along with us and find out!

This week, we all dig into games that are good at drilling into one core thing that makes them special: Chants of Sennar’s linguistic logic puzzles, Sifu’s fluid one-against-many combat, and Mortal Kombat 1’s cartoonishly-violent glee.

This week, we’re talking about how Control is too video gamey for its own good, how Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon is too video gamey in the best way, and some quick hits of other stuff we’ve been watching and playing lately.

We got the movie to work this time! But instead of watching Dredd, we decided to pack along some sesame cake and take a trip to the Lost City of Zinj with the campy 1995 sci-fi “classic” Congo. We’ve got Laura Linney, Store Brand Steve Gutenberg, Muppet Tim Curry, Joey Pants, Joe Don Baker, Bruce Campbell, Ernie Hudson, and Delroy Lindo, all competing for first prize in a scenery chewing contest in a movie whose budget seemingly runs out in real time. Congo’s currently streaming on Showtime through Paramount+ and Amazon Prime – join us!

This week, we felt like there wasn’t a ton of video game stuff to talk about, so we tried to do a movie commentary track for Dredd. The jank, however, is strong, and put the kibosh on that whole plan. But hey, it turned out we actually had a lot of stuff to talk about. We dive further into why David feels nothing after finishing Final Fantasy XVI, we talk about Ghost Trick’s brilliance, and we chat about how the Pikmin 4 demo represents some of the best (and worst) qualities Nintendo offers.

This week, we talk about the pedantry of focusing on inaccurate references in literary hit Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, the clever logic puzzles of The Case of the Golden Idol, who The Long Dark’s new DLC is for, and the depth (or lack thereof) of Final Fantasy XVI.
