Quick Save

Joe went to the Undertale Determination Symphony, played Fire Emblem, and managed to get a bit of Control in. Ryan's been playing a Dune game that's visually distinct from the movies, we promise. We also talk about the state of remakes in the industry, and what we think they should represent. There are too many remakes, that much we can agree on.

It's the PlayStation game that they wanted you to love, but you probably don't. Join Ryan and Joe as they desperately try to figure out this confusing mess of a release, and dive into the weird design philosophies that seem to be everywhere at the moment. Ryan also shares his thoughts on hotly anticipated Trails of the Sky 2nd Chapter (in which there are several more chapters).

Joe also discovers that Marvel characters often have stupid names.

Joe's not played anything this week, he's been trapped on the continent. Ryan's finally beaten Trails in the Sky, and has had a change of heart about a certain small game coming out this November. It's all happening! Ryan and Joe also discuss Kingdom Hearts 4, and the horrific state of DLSS5. A visual example is attached with this episode thumbnail, for your convenience.

It's the week before Gamescom, and the industry seems to not want to slow down at all. Joe's uncharacteristically been playing a lot, with one game so boring that it sent him into a week long stupour, and Ryan has been excluding Joe from a Games Club. It's a normal day.

Ryan also seems to think that Earthbound is a real place, we're still trying to work that one out.

Joe and Ryan talk about what the hell makes a good exclusive, and why the hell PlayStation doesn't have any of them. Astro Bot sucks. Splatoon Raiders does not suck. Nintendo knows how exclusive games work!

Neither of us have played Balan Wonderworld this week.

Join Joe and Ryan as they try something new, and we decide to get into the news! For longtime listeners, Joe gets the chance to bellyache about the very game that began his podcasting career, and Ryan has to listen. And we talk about how great physical media is. And how awful chicken wings are. That, and more!

After a very normal length episode, and an episode that definitely wasn't lost to Audacity corruption, we're slowing the pace down and talking about Deltarune: Chapter 5. The fifth part of a seven part adventure, there is a lot to talk about with this one!

Stick around and listen to Joe and Ryan talk about it!

And that one video about useless spaces in games! Any Austin's video about NiGHTS is really great

It's that time yet again. The time of year where we all watch adverts, talk about what we can't play, and get excited to just spend spend spend. It's Keigh-Three! In lieu of Stephen, Ryan and Joe talk about all four major showcases in our longest episode yet! It's a long one, and we're thorough.

A great time was had by all!

We lose one, to gain someone else. Join us for this transitionary period, where Stephen bids us farewell, leaves us with some gems, before going to never be heard from again. (This is a lie, he will return, one day.)

As a farewell, we talk about 007: First Light, Mina the Hollower, and a little something called Titanium Court. Do we know what that is? One of us does.

Joe also discovers Frog Fractions.

Star Fox is back - and it's the same game. We talk about it. We also let Stephen talk about Marathon! Joe abandons his british routes, and Hohokum gets a mention. We go all over the place, and we end up having to talk about Bubsy. There really is no escape at all.
