This episode has kind of a big round number, so we gotta bring out the big guns... including one of our favorite Wikipedia sentences ever.
Someone at BioWare has an abiding passion for the lore and mythos of Sonic the Hedgehog. It kind of casts a pall over all of their work, doesn't it? This is a boring lite RPG for kids, so we spend most of our time discussing whether or not Sonic is a selfish lover (he totally is, you guys).
Kole, Ben, Jala, and David talk about Bethesda’s bag controversy, Penumbra: Requiem, and we ask you which games deserve a sequel (or a better sequel).
The Brief:Nvidia is demoing AI video rendering.
Rocksteady isn’t making a Superman game.
Bethesda gets in trouble for nylon bags.
Nintendo takes action against YouTubers who upload leaked Smash Bros. soundtrack.
What game deserves a sequel, or a better sequel?
Kole: Penumbra: Requiem.
Ben: Red Dead Redemption 2.
Jala: Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair.
David: Nothing.
Lots of folks have waited very patiently for us to get around to covering Baldur's Gate II. It's a very well-regarded classic game, and it fits in well with our love for all things Dungeons and Dragons. So this month, we are doing a four part series. This first episode is all about systems an generalities, which are meaty enough (it's 2nd Edition, after all).
Here's our plan for the rest of the coverage:
Part 2: Chapter 2 (Side Quests around Amn)
Part 3: Chapter 3, 4, and 5
Part 4: Chapter 6 and 7, and listener responses
