Makin' up a song about Coraline, one of the best films, ever, full stop.

We also talk about some really bad voice acting in Shenmue. Our Indie Games of the Week are Oninaki and Creaks, which are both pretty good and both better than Woodle Tree Adventure.

It's full spoiler time for The Last of Us Part II in this massive 3-hour episode. And that's it, nothing else worth mentioning, really.

Music in this episode is captured in-game and provided by Callum McGaw

Ghost of Tsushima is very, very good. We talk about that, some Studio Ghibli films, and introduce two new segments: Indie Game of the Week (or Gindie Game Gof Ghe Gweek?) and ...And Shiieeeet, our main discussion segment each week.

Games Discussed:

Track: Dreams Are Pretty — Seoul June [Audio Library Release]

It's a new Classics episode! This week, we're looking at Robert Eggers' psychothriller masterpiece, The Lighthouse. It's really good. We also add a new segment to the end of the podcast called Goosebumps Walkaways, where we give you a little suggestion on something new (or old) that you can watch, read, play, or listen to this week.

Let's talk about what's working with Summer Game Fest (and that other IGN summer games thing that I still don't fully understand), and where it all falls a bit short.

We are talking about The Last of Us Part II today, in as spoiler-free a manner as possible. However, we do discuss the game's opening chapter, so be warned! These are our initial reactions, and this episode will be followed up in the future with a longer, in-depth spoiler-full discussion. Enjoy!

This week, we played through some indie games created by black developers to broaden our horizons and explore games and cultures outside of what we might normally experience. Black Lives Matter everybody. Don't forget it.

We've seen the PS5! And we've seen a lot of games to go with it, including Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Horizon Forbidden West, and so many more.

We make some weird references to some random Limmy videos at the beginning, so here's one for context.
