Plotty Time

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch talk about a videogame that tells the story of a major network television show that evolves it's nuanced story over 20 different 42 minute episodes and turns it into a prison fetch quest sim with clunky fighting, a ridiculous premise, and more QTEs than RE4. Yes, really.... It's Prison Break: The Conspiracy! 

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch talk about a game where there is a mission that contains an ATF agent who is storming a Montana Militia Compound when the NSA arrives dressed as the FBI and proceed to mow down both sides. Our hero who works for a black ops collective called "The Agency" (but not THE Agency as is the NSA) goes undercover as an NSA agent faking as an FBI agent... yeah, get in here and listen to us decode this mess in the seminal classic Syphon Filter 3!

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch cleared their schedules to talk about one of the industries heaviest hitting developers on one of the titles that got them to be so popular and powerful that they don't even feel the need to make any news games anymore! No it's not Valve, but that's a good guess! We're talking about Rockstar and the seminal classic Grand Theft Auto: Vice City!

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch use a fine tooth comb to go over probably the best demon possessed mob hitman video game that doesn't have trophies and is voiced by the front man from Faith no More. Obviously we are talking about the venom like comic book adaptation The Darkness!

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch get sciency this week when they put down their mint juleps and met in the front parlor to gab on and on about the inscrutable Sci-Fi Therapist dead spacey murder guy savior complex classic Afterfall: InSanity!  

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch want to ask you what do you get when you combine terribly tasteless product placement with an aging NBA star, outdated pop culture references, and a whole bunch of insensitive barrage of jokes from 2002?  It has to be Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn!   

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch spin a few yarns about an underrated vampire western with steampunk trains, double crosses, TNT plungers, DOUBLE double crosses, demons, banshees, and old west power dynamic shenanigans. It couldn't be anything other than Darkwatch: Curse of the West!

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch use their Mind Goblin to jump into a taut psychological thriller involving some time travel, psychic beefs, child experimentation, and a healthy use of the mind brain. It can only be the PS2 Classic Second Sight!

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch took 157 episodes before they had the courage to tackle one of the most visually impressive and technically impressive achievements in gaming (at the time) with the PS3 FPS classic Killzone 2! of course, this is all about the story so none of that technical mumbo jumbo matters at all...Enjoy! 

This week Dr. Syintist, Chump Slap, and Poppascotch drop in to give you yet another "A Very Special Episode" because Scheduling conflicts are real and we ARE NOT MISSING A WEEK. Anywhoodles, we recorded right when we got back from a month long break in January and we talked about all the games we played and all the shit we watched. This is a chatty one, so if you don't like that kind of stuff, come back next week!
