Episode 305: Tom Clancy’s Questions From Questions


Listen Later

Tom, Marsh and two-thirds of a bottle of whiskey consider the fate of Valley of the Gods, indulge in Russo-phobic whack-a-mole in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and ponder space, loss and buttons in Still There.

  • Campo Santo’s Valley of the Gods is now officially on hold as its creators move onto other projects at Valve.
  • But not everyone had a wheelie desk to wheel away, as Duncan Fyfe’s plangent tweets make plain.
  • Death Stranding’s landscape is not the product of Avalanche’s proprietary engine – but of Guerilla Game’s proprietary Decima engine!
  • Gradually stab a Russian man in the leg with screwdrivers in the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Grim stuff!
  • No bang with the podge man, though.
  • John Walker’s new website is called Buried Treasure! I probably should have said that out loud on the podcast. Anyway. It’s nice!
  • Still There: sad man in space simulator / point & click.
  • Nice man telling you about wine and pigs: Sam Neill.
  • Disco Elysium is still great. I shouldn’t have save-scummed. I should have plunged screaming into the unfolding shambles man tragedy.
  • Is Jack Ryan bad? It’s probably bad.
  • Rainbow Six Siege is great, but we yearn for the breach-‘n’-clear co-ops of Clancy games of yore.
  • You can play Halo Reach on PC!
  • Terrifyingly good sound design in The Hunt: Showdown.
  • Scary Norse game Apsulov: End of Gods.
  • Tim Hutching’s LARP A Crow Funeral
  • Jason Rohrer‘s GDC talk from 2018: “2014 vs. 2018: The Shape of Financial Success Before and After the Indiepocalypse
  • Tom’s review of Star Wars: Bog Standard Jedi.
  • Homer Simpson’s rendition of Born Under a Bad Sign. A classic.
