Infinite Cities

No one's had a chance to really dive into 1000xResist yet, so Gary hijacked the podcast to teach Will/reminisce about Spyro. 

in this episode: comfort food and nostalgia, baby's first collectathon, quality of life improvements, sassy spyro, inspirational photos, this ursine sucks, spyro just helps people, very tongue in cheek, oops it's metroid prime now, switch to switch 2 talk, get a wii u, too blood too borne

What the heck is left to say about "minecraft?". What are we even doing here?

For god's sake, it's so big even microsoft notepad (which has a spellchecker now) knows what minecraft is, inasmuch it wants me to capitalize every instance of the word. I'm manually de-capitalizing this. Capitalization is for corpos, except the title of this episode, becuase while I don't respect trademark laws, I do respect the laws of grammar. Don't at me to tell me minecraft is a proper noun and thus this is actually a law of grammar I'm violating. 

What the heck isn't there to say about Minecraft tm tm tm?

In this episode: it's frigging block game, minecraft versions, talking about talking about minecraft, we are the worst Minecraft coaches, taking off our minecraft cult hats, minecraft as a shared space, finding our roles, eternal games, how to learn minecraft in 2025, oh lord please help us it's the minecraft movie.

Turn back your internal clock to when you were ~6 years old, and your sister played impressively built imaginary adventures with you. Time to get the gang back together to do it one more time.

In this ep: trampoline skipping, talking in small letters only, breaking kayfabe, sibling age gaps, big scary whale, every game needs a ragdoll button.

You have to admire and respect games that are willing to be themselves so strongly that they turn people off. Nine Sols is willing to give you just a little bit of a hand (amazing difficulty sliders), but if that can't get you over the hump - all of its worldbuilding and art and laser-tight combat just aren't for you. Nine Sols' purity of will is so strong, it can even parry you. 

In this episode: Nerts! NES difficulty, eventually every piece of video game criticism will devolve into pointing at dark souls and grunting, backtracking, being fundamentally broken, just parry it, taopunk, apemen, fucked up projects, you do not, in fact, have to hand it to Goumang, feather gets oneshot by a cutscene because she was too busy being a simp, we fail to understand Tao, NERTS TIME, wait actually we weren't done talking about Nine Sols, NERTS TIME FOR REAL, we will never finish this podcast, MORE NERTS.

Karp got rolled up in a katamari and is now a star in the sky, but the rest of us are still trapped here in the Select Plaza trying to help a dog roll up the Sun!

Strange Scaffold's I Am Your Beast made several of our GOTY lists, with good reason. This game feels like a prototype to that, trading Beast's frenetic relentless energy for a drawn out character study. It's not a very good trade, but seeing the strange scaffolding built up in El Paso Elsewhere to later enable Beast is at the very least fascinating. At the very least, you have to respect the art and swagger!

In this episode: wait a minute - I hate Strange Scaffold, I Am Your Beast, wildly divergent game understandings, dives, rolls, and diverolls, enemy types, pill cop, slow mo makes pistols better, elevator names, another game ground down by the podcast mill, horrible people and the things they do to each other.
