Episode 189: And You Can Have The Hated Holiday Elf

2 hours 46 minutes

Chris, Tom F, Pip and a deck of Lego cards discuss Hanano, puzzle game design, Endless Space 2, pre-pre-E3 news, and more.

Plus: a bumper helping of grudges, Chris’ flimsy manifesto, the fallacy of rock-paper-scissors, the duality of Linux as both man and penguin.

In which Ubisoft announce a series of logos, some of which are red and blue. This is fascinating to Chris for some reason.

Here’s Jon Shafer on building Spelunky-inspired strategy.

Tom’s been losing time to Hanano and its sequel.

Chris has been playing Endless Space 2. A lot of the technical issues he reports have been patched since the time of recording – check out his review for PC Gamer for a more up to date take.

Chris and Tom S launched their Bloodborne YouTube series this week!
