Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross talk about the middle portion of Lords of the Fallen, up through the Beast. #

In this episode, Nick and Gary discuss Sunless Sea and The Last Door. I'd call this our Lovecraft special but it's not like we're not going to do a thousand more Lovecraft-y games. This is one of the best batting averages we've had.
Kole, Ben, Dennis, and David talk about Valve's GDC rumors, Kick and Fennick, and we ask you what's the deal with sports games?
The Brief:A new Guitar Hero might be on the way.
Kanye is making a game.

What's the deal with sports games?

It's time for a slightly more straight-laced Abject Suffering as we are joined by Bob Mackey (of the Retronauts) to discuss Spy vs. Spy, MAD Magazine, and the role of satire in society. Also: Fan Fiction Rap Battles.
Special Guest: Bob Mackey.
Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross talk about the first third of Lords of the Fallen, up through the Worshipper.
Our Followers season continues with a big next-gen game that wears its Dark Souls influence on its sleeve. Can we look past the goofy name and overwrought story? This first episode contains a lot of coverage of the generalities, including discussion of things Dark Souls fans will like, and things Dark Souls fans will hate.

Gary Butterfield, Kole Ross, and Zack Johnson open a hailing frequency to talk about Star Control II.
The Ur-Quan and their battle thralls have dominated this quadrant of the galaxy, and it's up to a human crew with some Precursor technology to reunite the Alliance of Free Stars and act as liberators. This is a game that defies categorization. Part space combat arcade game, part resource gathering, part adventure game... the larger picture of all of these pretty little parts is an engrossing world filled with varied and interesting species and civilizations, each with their own stories to tell. This ranks really high up there on our list of favorite games we've done on the show, and we really recommend you check it out.
