Episode 179: Tom Clancy’s Club Penguin

2 hours 5 minutes

Chris, Pip and Alex recap GDC, find various uses for a Steam Link and double-tap Ghost Recon: Wildlands.

Plus! Our favourite history podcasts, goat-bonking Bloodbowl 2 action, the world circa 2003 and 2016 and the question of whether Ed Sheeran looks like all games journalists or whether all games journalists look like Ed Sheeran.

Goats get bonked in Bloodbowl 2.

GDC! Pip saw a hummingbird.

She also sat in a box.

…and here’s the rest of Pip’s writeup of Alt.Ctrl.GDC.

Pip’s keen on Tacoma.

VR game Delilah’s Gift by Isaac Cohen is part of a collection that impressed at GDC. Here’s Pip’s article about them.

Steam Link: it comes with cables.

We are charmed by Loot Rascals.

Chris is not enjoying Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Lads On Tour: Wild Lads: World At War.

Our recommended history (ish) podcasts are You Must Remember This, Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History, 99% Invisible, The History of Rome, In Our Time, Lore, and Myths and Legends.

The introduction to Torment: Tides of Numenera is more or less just the whale bit from Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy.
