Story Route Zero

The guys discuss Doom Crossing or is it Eternal Horizons? Jason expected to enjoy Doom and it did not disappoint. Kiel never knew what he was missing with Animal Crossing and now he spends his non-playing time heading down Reddit rabbit holes and joining Discord communities. Moose is still cleaning the streets of D.C. and New York. Is The Division 2 his new Bloodborne? Also discussed: Mark Cerny lullabies and Nintendo hitting those directs out of the park.

Road Posse is 3 strong this week and we hope everyone stays safe out there. Kiel and Moose discuss Division 2 in weird detail this week. Jason talks claiming soon-to-be unobtainable trophies in Drive Club as well as his review of Neon City Riders for Obilisk. Kiel then discusses the intangible reward a platinum trophy can bring. Also discussed: excitement for upcoming games and a mutual friend’s disappointment with the Nintendo Switch.

The Road Posse is at 75% strength again this week but still able to announce Story Route Zero’s first game club title, Moonlighter (to be discussed 4/6/2020). Jason gives his impressions of Scourge Bringer (which he did publish on Obilisk) and speaks to the magnetic frustration of Awesome Pea (to which Moose agrees). Moose took a vacation from DC to visit NYC in Division 2’s Warlords of New York expansion. Kiel is less attached to his new team in Super Blood Hockey and having a fun albeit frustrating time in Bastion. We have a leaner show and are able to meander through brief topics as well.

The Road Posse is at 75% strength this week with Phillips caught up in the real world. Jason regales tales of Bloodroots and Blood Breed, one good and one less so. He also played a mobile game, Pirate Outlaws, and is enjoying it. Moose tells of more DC shenanigans while Kiel got overly attached to his team in Super Blood Hockey and returned to Bastion (spoiler: still great!).  Also discussed: A Game Club? Like, a book club? Yup, the guys plan on doing a monthly Game Club. Stay tuned next week for all the info.

We’ve got the full road posse present and accounted for this week. Jason tells of his travels through swamps in the 1890s in Hunt: Showdown, dipping into ScourgeBringer and ending up West of Dead. Moose talks of wandering a ruined DC in Division 2. Kiel and Phillips briefly discuss old adventure games, but Phillips spent a ton of time with Black Mesa. Kiel passes on the frustrating fun of Super Meat Boy and Baba is You to a younger generation and steps into his backlog. It’s another all-over-the-map journey into video game fun.

Michaela from Obilisk Games joins the road posse this week to talk JRPGs and things stay completely normal. Just as well since Kiel is still in his post-Kentucky Route Zero console playing funk, Jason can’t stop reviewing games, and Moose hits for the cycle mentioning Bloodborne, Borderlands and Dark Souls 3. Kiel did spend time revisiting mobile games, Moose did go back to DC with the Division and Jason got his 88th platinum. Meanwhile, Phillips got stuck in real life again.

Captain Canada is stuck in customs this week, but the road posse treks on unfazed and undaunted. Jason wrote about Bookbound Brigade for Obilisk Games, Moose went back to Pandora and the land of Lothric, and Kiel was shook after wrapping up his travels in Kentucky Route Zero to the point of watching movies rather than playing games. He did end up playing Song of Bloom on his phone and Wide Ocean Big Jacket on his switch.

Captain Canada is absent this week, but Antonio @hypecaster Guillen joins us this week to talk pre-fatherhood, and vaguely describing an embargoed game he’s reviewing. Jason has joined Obilisk Games and been sent to a savage planet, Moose has done more time in Pandora and Ashen with Kiel and Kiel can’t help but wax poetic and simultaneously hold back on details in his love affair with Kentucky Route Zero. Wonderful 101 is back with a Kickstarter and the road posse discusses.

We went from down a Captain Canada to up a Jeff Glasson this as the video game road posse talk older and not-so-older games. Phillips is back on Half Life 2, Marshall mentions some Fallout progress but decides that the more difficult road of a strategy classic is still fun after all these years, Kiel and Moose spend a ridiculous amount of time gushing about the A44 debut Ashen while our guest is both producing and executing hits by playing Hitman and entering the music production game.  

Also discussed: An Atari Hotel?

We’re down a Captain Canada this week due to some personal things, but on we must truck. Kiel decided to stream this week and forgot he played Tetris 99 again (game is still good!). Moose is working on his Master Trials in Breath of the Wild and fixing his bike in Days Gone. All while Jason is bound and determined to survive the wastelands of Fallout 76 with a platinum trophy in hand.   

Also discussed: Rumors of Horizon Zero Dawn coming to PC, Devolver Digital still exuding power to delay video games and whatever else pops into our minds.
