Daft Souls

Matt and Quinns are joined by Pip for what may as well be a slice of the American Dream - the great outdoors of Firewatch, and the less-great outdoors of American Truck Simulator.

This week Quinns and Matt are joined by Keza MacDonald to chat about puzzle games - specifically The Witness, Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak, and Yakuza.

Matt is joined by Pip Warr for a wonderful chat about Oxenfree, murder mystery television, and Fabulous Beasts. I think it's safe to say we went off-topic this week, but I can't say I've even the slightest of regrets.

Quinns and Matt are joined by Joe to talk about three old-ish Japanese games that all have names that start with the letter D. Other things are talked about too, but let's not spoil the SURPRISE.

Matt is joined by Chris Bratt for a bumper edition of Daft Souls that's entirely about XCOM 2. Spoilers are kept to an absolute minimum as we're a pair of respectful chaps, but obviously it IS two people talking about a game for over an hour, so if you're precious about not knowing anything at all - avoid! Everyone else? ENJOY.

Matt and Joe round off the year with some excited chatter about SteamWorld Heist - a game which snuck in before the end of the year and might well be one of 2015's best. Matt's also been playing Xenoblade Chronicles X - but he isn't quite sure that it's his cup of tea. Finally, we top off this frothy festive podcast latte with a few of your questions!

Quinns is back! Oh no wait, he’s gone again. But he’s back now, here, in brief podcast from. In this week’s two-man podcast we talk Rainbow Six: Siege, Persona 4 Golden, and get a bit heated about Final Fantasy 7. FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT no stop don’t fight we don’t do that here.

Matt and Joe are joined by Chris Bratt, who's been playing a lot of Overwatch. It sounds exciting, but the other chaps have real reservations about the online team-shooty genre - can stuff like this and Rainbow Six: Siege avoid the horrible fate of Evolve? Matt's been playing Starcraft 2, and Joe's been dipping into Code Name S.T.E.A.M and thinking about stressful games.

Special thanks again to Mr Joe Skrebels for standing in for Quinns over the last few months, and thanks to those of you who fund Cool Ghosts for allowing us to pay him for his brilliant services! If you love Joe then don't despair, we're planning to get him doing a little bit of video stuff for us at some point in the new year.

The Cool Ghosts Core can't be arsed with Fallout 4, but thankfully we've got guests who can. And what guests! Matt and Joe are joined by the brilliant Kate Gray. So they'll talk about this a bunch this week, while Matt is still reeling over how much fun he's been having with Sorcery! (Matt is also reeling from jetlag, so give him a break if he repeats stuff/loses his mind a bit).

Matt listens to Joe talk about the latest Call of Duty game for almost an hour, and honestly I think that's fine. After that, a little bit on the full release of Chaos Reborn, and finally some recommendations about good games to play while on a train. (Alone, Desert Golfing, Ghost Trick, Another Case Solved, Pacman 256, Monster Hunter Ultimate 4).
