Literate Gamer

Jonathan and Nick discuss Marvel's Avengers, Read Dead Online, and other live service games. In each are some successes, some failures, noble attempts, and bad behavior. A few rays of hope pierce the gloom.

Jonathan gushes about the hilarious platformer by Le Cartel "Heave Ho". Great for couch co-op, great for the family. This game is an absolute delight, laughs and fun from start to finish.

Jonathan and Nick reminisce about a decade of MineCraft, from alpha survival to bedrock goats, this game continues to improve, bringing wondrous joy, pleasant solitude, and immortal, cave-dwelling madmen.

Jonathan recounts his experience with the diablo-esque overhead action game in the Warhammer 40K universe "Inquisitor: Martyr". Great for when you just need to mow down some chaos scum and pointy aliens.

Nick tells Jonathan about Story of Seasons, the zen art of butter and cheese, and they discuss the calming, ephemeral city-builder puzzle-esque game Islanders.

Jonathan recounts a wonderful experience with the Castlevania Netflix show, and the collection Castlevania Anniversary. I got it for $5 on the Switch store, though it may have been on sale. Even for the full price of $20, it's a great collection.

Jonathan and Nick discuss the light romp 'For the King'. A turn-based RPG where you don't have to think, good for those new to role-playing, or just for relaxation. Fun by yourself, more fun with friends or family.

Jonathan Recounts the excellent sequel Portal 2, more test chambers, more robots, more story, and all still excellent. A required experience.

Amir tells Jonathan and Nick about DragonRuby, his experiences with making games, playing them, and wondrous digressions.

Jonathan gushes about Portal, a must-play classic, a masterpiece of gameplay and story, fun for everyone, completely accessible at only a few hours length, dynamite from start to finish.
