How To Murder Time

This week we’re doing a roundup of the weekly groups, discussing why Horizon: Zero Dawn isn’t as good as it first seemed and then looking at the Hugo nominees for this year.

This week Jon has given Tim a code for The Witness because he knew what it would do to him, but then started playing Thimbleweed Park so we’re both screwed really. Weve also checked out Guns of Icarus Alliance and the Cartoon Museum’s 2000ad exhibition.

This week we’re catching up with what Jon has been playing in his co-op sessions, which is Halo 1, Gears of War 2 and Borderlands 2. We also have a discussion about Magic the Gathering as games of it have been played recently and Tim has been walking loads instead of playing games.

This week we’re joined by Toerag for the next in our Hugo award winners series. This time we’re looking 1989 winner, Hyperion by Dan Simmons.

This week we’re talking about Elite Dangerous, Torment: tides of numenera, Horizon: Zero Dawn and Guildwars 2.

We’ve been podcasting for 9 years this week, so it’s a sort of special show that I hope won’t put you all off from watching. We talk about playing Elite Dangerous with the gang, the new Microsoft game subscription service, The Division and Project Cars.

The regrowth series recently ended, so we have a chat about what we think of it now we’ve done it all. Then we move on to talking about the first of our Elite Dangerous group sessions and how that went.

This week we’ve mostly been playing Guildwars 2, Fallout Shelter, The Division, Halo: Combat Evolved and Elite Dangerous.

It’s Hugo winner time again, and so we’ve read Philip K Dick’s classic 1962 alternate history novel The Man in the High Castle where the Allies lost WW2 and now the Germans and Japanese have divided up a conquered America.

This week Tim has visited all of the map in Guildwars and has been on a road trip in Elite Dangerous, while Jon has been breaking time in Quantum break and having doubts about renewing PlayStation Plus.
