Welcome to episode 189

We are still living in post-apocalypse Russia, but have escaped the metro and heading into the wilderness around Moscow in the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. like Metro: Exodus. Skazz is a quite bit further through the game then ram, but we've still played enough for us to discuss some of the gameplay elements. we talk about some changed to accommodate that larger more "open-world" levels including how throwing knives are still OP and how we love them. We talk about the new crafting system and our preferred guns fish worshipers and Skazz's bandit mate Dave.

We them move onto talking about Warhammer: Vermintide 2, the co-op hack-n-slash where we slice down hoards of Skaven and Chaos worshipers. We look at the new class system, the special ability's and some of the other minor changes.

Notes:

Experience life outside Moscow (probably not too far from the current reality) in Metro: Exodus.

The rat-men are back, close the skittergate in Warhammer: Vermintide 2

Welcome to episode 186

We would like to pass on our support for the people of Ukraine in this terrible time. We would encourage everyone in our listen/viewership to donate to the Ukraine military support.

Skazz has been having a poor time in Elden Ring. The latest Souls-esk game from FromSoftware, hes found it a poorly optimized experience on PC and with crap frame-rates and random hang-ups. We also discuss our dislike of digital per-order bonuses.

Ram has been playing perspective based puzzler Superliminal, A mind-bending game with a interesting mechanic based around adjusting your perspective of objects.

Skazz also talks about the upcoming steam deck, and the surprise of what it'll be able to run. We discuss the specs and features, and when it'll be released. 

We also discuss the our favorite Ukraine devs and discuss briefly the new Stalker 2 and the Metro games.

We join this episode with Ram suffering from low bandwidth as he joins us from a remote location (Better know as Norfolk). So we end up with a briefer podcast then normal.

Skazz talk more about the fun hes been having in Zenith: The Last City a new VR MMO that currently in early access.

We kick off with some great news, Our resident Danish man is back! Zaber will be returning on our next game night. 

Skazz has been finishing Hyperdimension Neptunia ReVerse and has been playing HN: Re;birth and Re;birth 2. As experience some repressed memory of how much he hated the second game.

Ram talks about finishing Deathloop and how it misses being great. He also has been running a shop in Shoppe Keep 2, a great example of a sequel that missed the point of the original.

Notes:

An interesting take on the console wars with Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;birth

And its sequel with the rise of console piracy in Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth2: Sisters Generation

A so-so with some nice part in Deathloop

I only wanted to run a shop in Shoppe Keep 2
