For the first time, we have TWO guests today! The occasion? A pilgrimage of dubious origins. We put our crystal powered wagon in brake and let the wood people giggle on the periphery as we discuss Pilgrim, a cooperative horror game akin to Lethal Company.

We are joined once again by renowned game developer and deep water disliker, AxeyMcAxeStuff! We'll take a magnifying glass to Pools, a liminal space exploration horror walking game with Finnish attributes. Is that enough labels?

We've finally made it to the big city in Act 3! Surely we can't spend nearly two hours JUST talking about the companion questlines, and necessitate another episode on Baldur's Gate 3, right? Right?

Prof and nightingaelic venture into the Shadow-Cursed Lands in this episode, discussing the highlights of Baldur's Gate 3's second act. Who is the hottest of hotties in this part of the game? Does Shadowheart need to be the center of everything? Is it wrong to lunge at spirits of the forest?

On a very atypical episode of No Player Connected, Prof is going to talk about his recent prerelease experience with the latest set of Magic: the Gathering cards. Did he dress as a cowboy? Did he go undefeated? How did he manage to record this?

In the Old World, only content and the viewer numbers it brings matter. Strange Spooktubers in diving suits plumb the depths for horrifying moments to share with their viewership, risking life and limb. It's in this harrowing landscape that we are joined by resident 4 player co-op horror adjacent expert Stelle! Can we figure out what has led the world to such a sorry state? Who are these strange content creators? What is the best course of action to take when everything starts exploding and everyone is screaming?

Going in no particular order, Prof and Mack continue their journey through the Doom franchise! This time we take a look at Doom 3, a controversial departure from the typical Doom formula. Tight hallways, dark corners, and emails emails emails emails await the brave souls that travel to Mars in this Sci-fi shooter. But is it like... a good game?

Today we delve into the world of... other Dead Space games. Specifically the Wii exclusive, on-rails shooter, Dead Space Extraction! NPCs with terrible aim, learned helplessness, and graphic depictions of boss fights await you in this episode! Oh, and the main character is breathing softly in the background the entire time. Try to tune that out.

GOOD MORNING DRAUPNIR! Prof and Axey attempt to record another incredibly insightful episode planetside in Helldivers II. Will the local automaton forces be receptive to the podcast? What changes will come to the game? What changes will come to gaming itself? Will the debate around Starship Troopers ever end? Find out by plugging this episode directly into your patriotic ears right now!

Escape from your daily grind at a corporate nightmare and come play in an even worse corporate nightmare! Prof and Stelle discuss Lethal Company, a game where highly expendable employees risk their lives to collect scrap for a faceless corporation.
