Episode 218: In The Aftermath Of The Asset Wars

1 hour 49 minutes

Chris, Tom F and John Roberts discuss indie news, Seven: The Days Long Gone, Destiny 2’s first expansion, Sorcery!, Shadowhand, and more.

‘More’ in this case includes the opportunity horse, the verb ‘to suchet’, a bit of Warhammer, the changes to Patreon, our upcoming Christmas specials, and so on.

Joakim Sandberg’s Iconoclasts has a release date!

As does Gorogoa!

Davy Wreden is hiring programmers.

Bennett Foddy’s Getting Over It is out.

Bridge Constructor Portal is a thing.

HUMANITY(tm). A videogame.

Here’s Patreon’s blog post about the changes, which we unpack a bit in this episode.

John’s been playing Seven: The Days Long Gone.

Here’s Shacknews’ Quake making-of, shamefully not called ‘The quaking of’.

Chris has been having an okay time with Destiny 2: Curse of Osiris.

Tom fell down a big hill in Sorcery!.

Ponder the opportunity horse in Shadowhand.

How many jokes can we wring out of Deus Ex and the City? The answer: less than you’d think.

Finally, Chris’ terrible case of generic videogame man face strikes again, this time in XCOM 2
