Scotch N' Games

The distinguished gentlemen make a triumphant return to the soundwaves in episode 27. Graham and Will sit down with Atholl Brose, a traditional scotch whiskey holiday drink, which delivers a pleasantly smooth drinking experience. This episode's feature game is Amplitude's Dungeon of the Endless, a genre bending rogue-like well worth the time and money.

Things get Christmas-y as Graham and Will review what is probably the most depressing game of the year, This War of Mine. But seriously, this is a great game and both of your hosts have a great chat about it. We also proudly announce the winner of our contest! 

Will and Graham finally beat the Vault of Glass in Destiny in an attempt to stop playing the game for good since it has become all they do. And later, school is in! SNGAVGD, or, the Scotch N' Games Academy of/for Video Game Design has its first class and you are all enrolled. Pour a dram and open your notebooks for episode 25! 

The video game world converged in a convention centre over two days in November to celebrate all things Blizzard. Blizzcon 2014 was the hugest yet, with 26,000 attendees, $750,000 in prize money awarded, and this year had one special, shall we say, distinguished, gentleman in attendance. That's right folks, our own Will Orford was on the scene in Anaheim and we devote our entire 24th episode to the pursuit of his Blizzcon adventures. WOW, Starcraft II, Hearthstone, Overwatch! It's all here in glorious sound! Joining us this episode is the Dun Bheagan, a very peaty but delightfully delivered single malt.  

OOOOooooOOO! It's the spookyist Scotch N' Games yet! Not content to simply let the most hallowed of eves pass us by like a couple of drunk nerds, we get down and dirty with some our past favourite scary games like Silent Hill and Resident Evil. Well, mostly Graham. Will is too scared. Later on we get in depth with Alien: Isolation. This episode's scotch, the Glenkinchie, is brought to you by scotch. Scotch! It's good. 

Have you ever wondered if you are doomed to simply repeat the past indefinitely? Well, the distinguished gentlemen of Scotch N' Games return with a classic attempt at remaining coherent through drinking. We re-up on the Tomatin 12 year and jam on our recent Destiny exploits, God of War Ascension and Wasteland 2. Hilarity ensues. 

The distinguished gentlemen of Scotch N' Games get right down with it with our own version of the Pepsi Challenge, this time with scotch! We put our hopefully experienced palettes to the test with four returning champions, Auchentashen, Tomatin, Glenrothes and Glen Garioch and see if we can pinpoint the tasting notes in a blind taste test! Then, after 20 years, a seminal game of great importance gets the Scotch N' Games treatment; and that game is Warcraft 2. Take a trip down memory lane in our very special 21st episode! Work complete! 

With the release of Destiny, the distinguished gentlemen of scotch games dropped everything to play as much of the game as humanly possible in a week. We update our opinions and thinkings on Destiny from our previous episode on the beta. We are accompanied this episode by the Deanston, a 46.5% scotch that'll surely whet your whistle. Enjoy episode 20 folks! 

In a way, podcasts are like time machines. We record in the past and you listen in the present! Trippy. This classic SnG episodes opens with a scotch tasting of a 12 year old Glenfiddich, a quick retrospective on FTL and a review of the desert golfing game, Desert Golfing! Later in the episode, we feature the newly released Super Time Force. And inspired by Super Time Force's epic time travelling gameplay, we then reminisce on other games that feature time travel as a central mechanic! 

The distinguished gentlemen of Scotch N' Games bravely played some bad games and then embued ourselves with some bad scotch in an episode we are bravely calling: Bad. Get ready for some hilarity as we drink the Cutty Sark, a blend that produces some interesting effects on the human body, and talk about some recent poor attempts at interactive software: Ride to Hell Retribution, Air Conflicts: Vietnam and our feature game, Aliens: Colonial Marines - a game that is, at its very best, incomplete. Enjoy!
