Quicksave

We've been making Quicksave for a whole year! Who would have imagined we'd stick with it this long. Not us. We kick the show off with an extremely refined and elegant celebration worthy of only the wealthiest individuals before diving into two weeks worth of GAME CHAT CATCH UP. Scott's got the skinny on Riders Republic, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Lovely Planet Remix, and Bright Memory Infinite. After the break, Evan has some spoiler-free wrap-up thoughts on Inscryption, brief impressions of the Elden Ring network test, and Halo Infinite's surprise multiplayer beta.

Discussed: Riders Republic 15:59, Bright Memory: Infinite 34:23, Lovely Planet Remix 52:29, COD: Vanguard 59:17, Inscryption 1:21:06, Elden Ring 1:33:32, Halo Infinite 1:47:51

From the brilliant mind of Hugo Weaving, welcome to Mindjackery! We don't know what this show is but you're stuck in it now. It's a bit early for Game of the Year talk around these parts, but we've got two strong candidates in this show that you probably should hear about. Scott has gone pedal to the medal with Forza Horizon 5, and Evan is utterly taken with (and by?) Inscryption.

Discussed: Forza Horizon 5 9:55, Inscryption 1:02:40

Welcome to spooky month, in which we are required to do silly spooky bits and you are required to listen and pretend to enjoy them. Also, spooky games! Scott's been playing Back 4 Blood and shares what it's like to get back in the saddle with this spiritual successor to the beloved Left 4 Dead franchise, and he's hyping up Circuit Superstars, the micro-machines like arcade racer with surprising depth. Evan's been having a frightfully good time with Metroid Dread, even if it is a little uneven at times.

Discussed: Back 4 Blood 8:41, Circuit Superstars 40:57, Metroid Dread 55:38

Shenanigans! Evan burns a good ten to fifteen minutes* talking about desk setups and cable management before we finally get into VIDEO GAMES. Scott's been spending time with Far Cry 6 and everything you've heard about it is true. Evan is falling in love with Lost Judgment (surprising nobody), and the guys discuss Alan Wake Remastered, which is another discussion that has an outcome you definitely will not predict.

*I don't actually listen to this thing so I'm not sure

Discussed: Far Cry 6 26:54, Lost Judgment 1:18:50, Alan Wake Remastered 1:42:43

The Fall release tidal wave is crashing on the shores of Saving Content, but we are prepared with steeled nerves and finely adjusted gaming chairs. Scott kicks us off with more Diablo II: Resurrected, because it is in fact that good! He also shares his opinions on Hot Wheels Unleashed, a strong contender for best new arcade racer, and then the guys take a deep dive into Amazon's new MMO, New World. Later, Evan shares early impressions of Lost Judgment and a quick hint of what TOEM is all about.

Discussed: Diablo II: Resurrected 6:05, Hot Wheels Unleashed 17:22, New World 37:37, Lost Judgment 1:23:39, TOEM 1:41:24

Scott's gone wings-on with SkateBIRD, a Tony Hawk-alike that's full of charm but fails to stick the landing, and he's gone back to Tristram to rescue Deckard Cain once again to celebrate Diablo II: Resurrected, which is both new and shiny and very much still Diablo II. Evan's been dipping into the font of gaming goodness that is the year 2017 with further adventures in Outer Wilds, and then he desperately tries to explain why 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim is so amazingly good without being able to say anything specific about it.

Discussed: SkateBIRD 15:18, Diablo II: Resurrected 24:26, Outer Wilds 42:26, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim 1:00:09, Nintendo Direct 1:09:38

Happy First Day, everyone! Evan and Scott sit down to dedicate a full episode to Arkane's big new hit, DEATHLOOP. It's hard to say how many times we've had this conversation by now, but it still feels as fresh and exciting as ever. We break down what DEATHLOOP is, all of the things that make it tick, and all of the reasons why we adore it.

Discussed: DEATHLOOP

Scott's been playing a real mixed bag of games recently, and he would love to tell you all about them! Comanche (yes, that Comanche), Maneater: Truth Quest, and Dice Legacy have all been on his mind and I bet you can't which of them is good and which ones are not. Evan's finally wrapped up Arkane's 2017 hit Prey, he's spent more time hitchhiking in Road 96, and is exposing his full anime fanboy status in exploring 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim.

Please check out our buddy Rex Downham's brand spanking new mobile game, Knight's Edge!

We didn't take a break, YOU took a break! While you were gone, Scott's checked out Aliens Fireteam Elite, Myst (the new one), Twelve Minutes, and Golf Club Wasteland. Evan decided that since you were on a break, he would take one too, but he did spend some time with Psychonauts 2 because he's a stand-up dude. And, we have a double-size mailbag!

Discussed: Aliens Fireteam Elite 21:10, Myst 33:56, WRC 10 51:24, Twelve Minutes 53:10, Golf Club Wasteland 1:06:25, Hades 1:22:30, Psychonauts 2 1:24:40
