Plotty Time

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch come to the pod table today to talk about a bona fide AAA titled from one of the most accomplished studios ever in Sucker Punch when they tackle the conduit havin', electricity slingin', genocide sim inFAMOUS 2! What are you waiting for?

Welp, you people did this. You kept asking for the minisodes back and by gum, a promise is a promise so here we go. Poppascotch does some housekeeping talking about the past and future of minisodes then goes on to rant about unfinished games for a while. Enjoy! and welcome back to Minisodes!

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch discuss an N64 classic starring Agent Jean-Luc Cougar and a whole bunch of other invisible squad members as they infiltrate a laser satellite's command center to stop a terrorist organization from using it to start a war in the fictional country of Sarcozia. That's right, we're talking Winback: Covert Operations!

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch sachet over to Indonesia to discuss an indie horror game that mixes modern and classic folklore, with a creepy abandoned town atmosphere and a healthy dose of the franchise Fatal Frame with its photo based combat system. We're talking about DreadOut today, so get in here and find a seat that isn't wet!!!! 

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch take yet another week to talk about a video game adaptation of another movie but at least this time the format makes sense. We've got a hack and slash from the mid 2000s based on the hit Hugh Jackman vehicle that tried to do a mashup of all famous movie monsters by loosely tying them to the man sent trying to kill them! That's right, we're talking about Van Helsing!

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch throw you all a curve ball by talking about the X-Files again. BUT WAIT! THIS ISN'T A Plotty Time Watches Episode! Yeah it's not because this week we discovered and discussed the PS2 exclusive game for the X-Files where they take Mulder and Scully and put them in a Resident Evil game. It's called X-Files: Resist or Serve!

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch reach deep into the backlog of games to find a video game based on a Keanu Reeves movie that had holy shotguns, demons getting trapped in mirrors, frequent trips to hell, Tilda Swinton and Gavin Rossdale? From Bush? No, it’s a band from the 90s that was hot for like 3 years. Clearly the only game it could be is the PS2 adaptation of the film Constantine. The game is also called Constantine.

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch show up this week ready to talk about a game that totally explains the Lost civilization of Atlantis who were so technically advanced that they could harness the ability of flight, but they couldn't figure out how to possibly govern without a firm Monarchy in place. It sounds silly when you say it like that. Either way, get ready for some talk about Atlantis: the Lost Tales!

This week our scheduling took a turn for the worst, so we panicked for 4 days, then Chump Slap and Poppascotch rented a movies theater at the last minute for a two person screening of the 1994 film Street Fighter in order to have something to talk about. So please enjoy a silly episode that probably goes too far into depth about a move that despite having Raul Julia in it, was not super great. We have fun though. We have fun.

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch reach back into the sack of early survival horror games with a story involving zombie gangsters, voodoo rituals, pirates, and a big spooky mansion on a cliff. This is a survival horror sequel to one of the games that started the genre. We're of course talking about Alone in the Dark 2!
