  • Episode 76: A Knack for Frames

    Welcome back to another episode of Dark Insight! This week, join a solo hosting Vader and special guest Dave from the Monster Dear Monster and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Podcast shows! I didn't listen to this episode but based on the cover art and show notes it looks like they talked about Destiny 2, Knack 2, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Whatever, Warframe, and Jeremy as Gambit. I hope to enjoy this episode along with all of you!

    As always, you can find the show at https://darkinsight.net, and we're on Twitter at https://twitter.com/darkinsightpod.

    Dave can be found at https://twitter.com/Sentionaut_Plus, and his shows at https://twitter.com/mon_dmonster and https://twitter.com/CTHPod. Give him a follow and give the shows a listen, they're outstanding.

    Special Guest: Dave Cox.

  • Episode 75: Dark Insight vs the Whoniverse

    Hello and welcome to the biggest Dark Insight ever. Not in terms of length, but in terms of girth. We have FIVE people on this week's podcast. Jeremy hosts this week along with podcast regulars Josh and Bryan, along with two special guests: Rachel and Alex from the Rachel and Alex vs the Whoniverse podcast! We all sit down for a long chat about video games and movies. Just a taste: Overwatch, Observer, Persona 5, Cultist Simulator, Hellblade, Get Even, Rainbow Six Siege, Sniper Ghost Warrior 3, Absolver, the Dark Souls Board Game, McPixel, and Pyre. On top of all those games, we also talk about It Follows, Death Note (the new one), and Baby Driver! Thanks for listening everyone!

    Be sure to check out Rachel and Alex vs the Whoniverse: https://vsthewhoniverse.fireside.fm/

    Special Guests: Alex and Rachel.

  • Episode 74: Odin: The Interview

    Hurricanes, road trips, new jobs, old jobs...lots of things conspired to keeping most of the Dark Insight hosts off the podcast this week. Luckily, Vader stepped up with a great idea: he would record himself interviewing his son, Odin! The result is an absolute delight of an episode. Vader and Odin talks about the weather, the news, and the games they've been playing before sli-sli-sli-slipping into the DMs to answer some listener questions. Thanks for listening everyone!

  • Episode 73: Guilty Nier Bromance

    We're back with another action packed episode! This week, Josh and Vader are joined by debut guest, and podcast enthusiast, John Gamble. John is an absolute delight to talk to, and if you take away just one thing from this episode, it'll most certainly be that John LOVES fighting games, which is cool!

    After making sure to keep the weather gods happy, and mention how Jeremy and Bryan had sabotaged the show notes as part of their drunken shenanigans, they discuss the news that Crackdown 3 has been delayed until 2018, which leads to a brief chat about game delays in general, followed by a nod to the apparent beta testing of the upcoming PS4 firmware, where Josh has a rather peculiar and seemingly very nitpicking issue he's hoping will be resolved..that, let's be honest, probably won't because it's an issue that just doesn't matter.

    Then, game chat! Vader talks about a load of arcade games from yesteryear, Josh absolutely gushes over Nier Automata, John shares his love and experiences with Guilty Gear Xrd Rev 2 and Tekken 7, then Vader rounds off with a little bit of Sonic chat. We did want to talk about Hellblade, but time was against us, apologies, but it will definitely get a mention in the near future!

    That's it! Many thanks to John for guesting this week, we knew he was very keen to come on and we're very happy to give him the opportunity to do so. If you'd like to guest in the future, hit us up on Twitter @darkinsightpod and we'll see what we can do to make it happen! Please subscribe and leave a rating on iTunes, it really helps us get the word out there about us and what we do, we'd be eternally grateful for anything like that!

    Thanks again and we'll see you next week!

  • Episode 71: Three Tired Lads

    The podcast slingshot is primed and ready to fire another episode of Dark Insight at ya!

    After the break last week we return for another show, where an exhausted Cliff returns and is joined by a knackered Josh and a groggy Vader (who'd only just got out of bed, like a champ) to discuss some vidya gaems.

    There's a brief discussion regarding the travesty that was the Mighty No. 9 physical Kickstarter mix up, how the Switch appears to be out-doing everybody's expectations by selling a ridiculous amount of units, Josh details his trip to London Comic Con and Cliff was lucky enough to be given the first 2 episodes of the new Little Nightmares comic. There's also a quick bit of follow up regarding Jalaid and the, frankly, heart warming response to that. Thank you to each and every person who was involved, even to the most minute degree. Just a tiny amount of effort and make the world of difference.

    We then get into the game chat, where we talk about Destiny 2, The Sexy Brutale, Late Shift, Splatoon 2, Thumper and Batman: The Telltale series.

    Unfortunately we didn't make it to the listener feedback so we're planning on bundling what we already have with what we get next week, don't you worry!

    Thank you for listening, be sure to check out darkinsight.net for all of our episodes; as well as links to all hosts and every guest thus far. If you like what you hear and you have time, why not leave us an iTunes review? Every single review helps us get just a little bit closer to being noticed by more people and we appreciate every one we get! See you next week for another episode!

  • Episode 69: Jala's Nice

    The boss is back! Our man Cliff is here to host this episode, and is joined by Jeremy and Bryan. They sit down to talk about basically everything. We start off with some good ol' Kenny Chesney, then get into a lengthy conversation about our favorite beverages. Following that, we talk about some stuff we've been watching like that new Wonder Woman and that new Castlevania animated series. Cliff also spends some talking about his crazy journey to own a Switch! Eventually, we even talk about a game or two.

    We're back with another Dark Insight, so pull up a chair in front of this lovely fire, grab yourself a biscuit, maybe give the lovely dog a pat on the head to reassure it that it's in good company...and relax!

    This week, Josh and Vader are joined by the fantastic Matt from Monster Dear Monster! Together, the 3 of them discuss the weather, and how an 800 watt microwave is enough to shrivel the U.K. to a blubbering mess, then it's onto the news! A smattering of topics are talked about, including but not limited to the new Castlevania Netflix series, some juicy deets on Nintendo's online service proposal, and how a honeymoon ruined somebody's gamer score. I know, imagine that, digital achievements being upset by a truly wonderful event! You just couldn't write it!

    Then it's onto the game chat, where they talk about MGSV (surprising no-one, this was Josh's doing, he couldn't help himself) as well as TrackMania Turbo, Diablo 3, Killer Instinct, Injustice 2, Berserk and the Band of the Hawk, Eternal, Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Oceanhorn, Nier Automata, Ancient Amuletor VR..then they finally round off with a little game called Shadow of the Colossus! It's a fun packed show!
