In this episode Gino, Pete, and Em discuss Sable. We cover the game's beautiful, but largely empty open world. We also discuss cartography difficulties, coming of age stories, and the shared creation of meaning. This one went deeper than expected.

In this episode Gino, Pete, and Em are joined by the -REDACTED- brothers, Chris "ZombiePie" -REDACTED- and Braden "ArbitraryWater" -REDACTED- to discuss Eternal Sonata! We cover roughly half of this mess of a game. We talk about bad parents, unending monologues about nothing, and combat that we wish was either better or shorter. Like the game it features, this episode is a doozy. Be sure to send in your proposals to the No Yume series of games to [email protected]!

In this episode Gino, Em, and Pete are joined by Jess "VoidBurger" O'Brien to discuss the film Silent Hill: Revelation 3D. We walk through the film scene by scene to parse the sheer absurdity of it all, guess at why Kit Harrington was allowed to speak with the accent he does, and question how Malcolm McDowell and Carrie-Anne Moss ended up in this movie. This is a rip-roaring good time and in some ways is better the less you know about the movie. Come for the Silent Hill, stay for the Sumo talk

In this episode Gino, Pete, and Em discuss this little indie title called Fortnite. We're super excited to be able to highlight such a hidden gem and discuss what makes it tick. We cover the game's tween targeting, endless content churn, and whether digital concert events are more like normal concerts or haunted houses.
