Scrollies

SqatCobblr and Ratnado love the convience that modern handhelds provide. But in a world where the major companies have all but given up on this side of their hardware who will fill the void? Apparently Valve & the Chinese.

Sqat and Ratnado show off their favorite modern handheld devices for the purposes of playing their PC library and emulating the classics.  The Steam Deck and Retroid line are among those mentioned. 

Have a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Scrollies Sqadnado!

Oh ya here's that SqatTube link.

Tis the season for vengeance!

It's once again time to highlight an Arkham game, this one being seasonally appropriate. Batman: Arkham Origins is a spin-off/prequel to the mainline Trilogy. Even so it has stuck around over the years as one of Sqat's faves to play for the holiday vibes and atmosphere. Ratnado and he talk about the distinctions or lack therof between this game and the others.

Sqat also briefly talks about the newly released "Shadows" trailer for the upcoming Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League game. That trailer was unveiled after this episode's recording so Ratnado and Sqat did not have the opportunity to discuss it.

Joining to discuss is Zak, host of SaveDataTeam! Go watch their Twitch & Youtube channels.

Together these gents share early voice acting memories and track how it gained more legitimacy and craft over the decades. In response to hardware improvements and pushing narrative boundaries the current state of voice acting is well regarded and full of talented performers!

Donkey Kong Country 3, released 26 years ago TODAY (in North America) is celebrated in this episode!

To highlight the additions this game introduced to the series the Scrollies Sqadnado welcomes Kleeben_Splurknurch to share his impressions and how perhaps the very identity of the game resolves around its acquired taste. Sqat, Ratnado, and Kleeben go over their own feelings towards the final game in the DKC Trilogy. They showcase the QOL inclusions such as an explorable overworld and saving improvements. The music and its stark difference in tone is also discussed. And of course the polarizing character of Kiddy Kong is given a second look.

Is this game better than its legacy would lead you to believe?

This unexplainable phenomena happens to everyone at some point or another. Where did they go? Did these objects hold some kind of sentience or were other supernatural factors at play?
