The FUNCAST!

Rejoice! A Gamepass Gameclub episode has arrived! A dark and creepy exterior reveals a soft, warm, comfy interior in The Wild At Heart. Can this 2D Indie Pikmin-alike charm its way into our hearts? But before that, some real wacky and wild news as Square Enix lets its western parts get Embraced AND gets sued by a former contractor! Ubisoft has no idea what its doing again, Blizzard announced a mobile game we have been waiting for ages to get, and all the Rogue Legacy 2 you can handle rounds off another fine Funcast Adventure.

Games Discussed:

Dean is out on assignment this week, so the rest of the lads gather for the important task of making sure someone knows all the news thats fit to know! MMOs you forgot about, Diablo Immortal is finally more real ever imagined, and Outriders has an expansion on the way somehow? Andrew brings us a wild new game show, then we get to talking some more bout them video games.

Games Discussed

Tera, Diablo Immortal, Diablo 2, Diablo 3, Outriders, Rift, Rogue Legacy, Rogue Legacy 2, My Time at Portia, Cuphead, Samurai Bringer, Crystal Project.

It's Gamepass week, and we got some robits to talk about! Also, a lot of news, because as it turns out stuff keeps happening out there. Crazy! Just like those hopefully new taxis Sega is cooking up.

Games Discussed:

An episode of our videogame podcast devoted entirely to talking about videogames? Say it aint so! Today we've got everybody playing show-and-tell with games from the past couple of weeks. Andrew brings us Tunic, the long under development foxy Zelda that is more than it seems. Daniel is dash-boosting around the battlefield in Gundam EVOLUTION, a mechanized hero shooter, Dean gets creepy with Weird West, the isometric immersive sim the world has been waiting decades for, and Tim gets suitably sp0o0o0o0oky with Ghostwire Tokyo!

This week, we share our thoughts on Transformers: Battlegrounds, a licensed X-Com-alike that might just be more than meets the eye. Super writer Brandon Sanderson has a pitch for Bandai-Namco, FromSoft has an old game use vanishing-jitsu, Hyper Light brightens the horizon, E3 is dead again, and we go back to Monkey Island.... again!

Buckle up buckaroos, it's FUNCAST time. 

Games Discussed:

Transformers: Battlegrounds, Hyper Light Drifter, Monkey Island (series), Ninja Blade

Welcome to a particularly haunted episode of the show. Andrew's internet exploded part way in, and we had to just deal with contacting him from the great beyond. Sorry about that! It sure didn't stop us from talking about the gaping void left in our hearts from the sudden and shocking disappearance of everyone's favourite videogame: Fast & Furious: Crossroads. Sony also announced their version of Gamepass I guess, but honestly, if it won't have my favourite version of my favourite family on it, why even bother?

Boy, sure was a hot week of news, huh? But before we get into all of that mess, Humans Fall Flat in our Gamepass Gameclub discussion. What is the deal with soft, wiggly, jiggly, floppy, human bodies? And what would it take for one of these physics puzzlers to really grab us in their gooey arms? Learn alongside us that The Witcher will in fact be continuing to get video games, various Nintendo-based nonsense updates, old hands start new studios, and the reality of working in games continuing to be a horror show.

We finally (?) finished (??) Elden Ring, probably for real this time (lolno), get our now weekly Babylons Fall Update, and pick our next GamePass adventure, so get your bones acoustically sound because it's FUNCAST Time, again!

Games Discussed:

We did it! Almost all of us finished Elden Ring! It's a big game, and we do spend another very decent chunk of the show talking some more about it. But before that, we got modern PS2 B-Game Strangers of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin to wonder at, a very short State of Play, thinkin' bout them Tokyo Ghostwires, and Tim, oh brave, foolish Tim, took Babylons Fall, so we didn't have to.

Games Discussed:

ELDEN RING IS FINALLY HER-- wait no that was last week, sorry. ELDEN RING IS STILL HERE! Pretty sure its unbeatable, but we sure are trying! Andrew, Daniel, and Dean share thoughts from our continued adventures in the Lands Between. We also discuss our Gamepass Gameclub game: Hellblade - Senua's Sacrifice, a game that holds up surprisingly well despite coming out four hundred years ago. We also got some fun and not so fun news, and pick a whole new video game to play for next time around, so join us by the grace and listen to THE FUNCAST!

Games Discussed:

Just popping in real quick to let y'all know that we are in the middle of scheduling the podcast to go up on Thursdays now, instead of Monday. Hopefully this will let us actually get everyone together, since finding time can be real tough!

See you then!
