Already missing the sweet weekly Playdate drops from Panic?

NEVER FEAR, O3C IS HERE

It’s the finale of our Season 2 coverage, and blimmin’ eck have we stuffed this one full!

What a season. It's been emotional, gang!

Joining us this week to talk Playdate is handheld aficionado and host of Podcast Advance, Jeremy Harvey. Here to round off Season 2 of the Playdate are the divisive-but-still-excellent-narrative-led-grapple-hook-platformer Taria & Como, as well as the Newgrounds-inspired-single-screen-arcade-nonsense of Black Hole Havoc. AND THEN Our personal rankings for the 12 games of Season 2. As well as some musings on Blippo+.

The Playdate, everyone. Quite literally nothing else like it.

Can you believe it? We’re back again! Two more Playdate Season 2 games = another episode!

(You lucky sods.)

This week: a lovely interview with Panic’s head of video and media, Christa Mrgan; a bonus review of Catalog title TOP BINZ!; and of course, as is now standard, some lavish praise for this week’s seasonal offerings, Tiny Turnip and Chance’s Lucky Escape.

This week, Jonathan and Chris chat with Arisa Sudangnoi, Panic’s lead for developer relations to talk Playdate’s Season One, Season Two and beyond.

The boys get DOWN AND DANCE with Otto’s Galactic Groove, and deposit their dog’s defecations for MAD SCORE in Long Puppy.

What’s that? The Playdate Season 2 serving up another two absolute rippers?

YOU BET YER BOTTOM

OH DAY OF DAYS! Playdate Season 2 is HERE.

And what a barnstorming first week, with Fulcrum Defender, Dig Dig Dino and Blippo+ gracing our little yellow squares.

Crank to survive in rogue-like score chaser Fulcrum Defender, get excavating with Dig Dig Dino, and have your brain frazzled by the interdimensional cable of Blippo+.

Panic! We love you!

How's Jonathan finding that new Oblivion remaster? And how does it compare to the semi-recent PS5 port of Skyrim?

What exactly is Harold's Walk and why is Chris so keen to get people to check it out?

What about Blue Prince is making Jonathan and Chris all giddy?

And Finland? Baba is You! Sega Rally Revo (on a technicality)! Videogames! -

No way! It’s NORWAY!

The boys touch down in Scandinavia to big up pairing of Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley and Draugen, two lovely games of Norwegian developmental descent.

But that’s not it. OH NO.

Ruminations of Playdate Season 2! Extended (and late) thoughts from Jonathan on Diablo IV! Micro reviews of a whole bunch of Steam games that Chris claims you should care about!

Surprise!

We’re back a few days early with a bonus episode all about the Switch 2.

The PRICE! The POWER! The POTENTIAL!

What are the boys happy about? What are the boys unsold on? And what’s ruffled Chris’ feathers specifically about Nintendo’s retail strategy for this next gen?

YOU CAN PLAY AS A COW IN MARIO KART WORLD
