Episode 432: A Scathing Review of the Rosetta Stone


Listen Later

Join Jamie and Chris as they join Past Jamie for a solo pod about train-sets and low-key terror in the demo deluge of Steam Next Fest. Then they return to the present, which is also now the past, to discuss smushing bugs in the name of Super Earth in Helldivers 2.

  • All aboard the Jamie solo-pod! Choo choo!
  • Brio Train Sets
  • Rolling Line
  • Tracks – The Train Set Game
  • Steam Next Fest is a periodic event that brings a deluge of time-limited demos.
  • Mouthwashing is a weird horror game. The Steam synopsis asserts that “God is not watching.” Promising stuff!
  • How Fish Is Made is another disturbing game from the same developer as Mouthwashing. Unnerving and hilarious, says Jamie.
  • The horrible tongue fish thing is Cymothoa exigua, and is just one of several horrible tripophobia triggers in the game.
  • The Last One And Then Another is playable within How Fish Is Made
  • Dreamcore is an unsettling game set in an impossible swimming centre, viewed as if from a body-cam and keying into the “liminal spaces” aesthetic.
  • Kitty Horrorshow makes amazing indie horror.
  • Stalker-esque Pacific Northwest survival car game Pacific Drive is namechecked – we’ll surely talk about it more when it releases!
  • Star Trucker takes the haulage sim genre to space.
  • Cryptmaster is a bit like Legend Of Grimrock meets Scrabble.
  • Atmosfear is the VHS game Jamie was the master of.
  • Knightmare is the legendary kids tv show that only two people ever won. SPELLCAST D I S M I S S etc etc.
  • Bing bong. We will shortly be arriving at Thurstown.
  • Jean-Michel Jarre makes a bop.
  • It is a bit busy, isn’t it?
  • Helldivers 2 is a coop thirdperson shooter about summoning airstrikes on Icleand own-brand Tyranids and frequently your friends.
  • This service terminates here. All change, please. All change.
