The Legend of Things

Tons of articles for the gang this week, including The Division's hilarious delays, No Man's Sky (incorrect) server data wipes, Myst's spiritual successor Obduction, and their return to classic "puzzle" games. Beautiful baeleric ballerinas bounce by the game Bound, Rick & Morty's co-creator and Epic Games form a new AAA VR studio, Squanchtendo! And a new Metal Gear: Survive peek, which is basically Metal Gear zombies. We're not sure what to think about that.

Jon's all over Deus Ex: Mankind Divided and it's fantastic game and visual design. He also teases about Skyrim's latest and greatest free mod, Enderal, promissing a darker story, revamped mechanics, intriguing character advancement, and 30-100 hours of new content.

Alex gets deep in the merits of Bloodborne, Dark Souls, the epic samurai game Nioh demo, and Dark Souls 3 DLC, Ashes of Ariandel! Shaun unearths hype for Total War: Warhammer's new DLC, the Grim and the Grave! And together they jabber about the finer points of futuristic murder in the multiplayer demo of Titanfall 2: Electric Boogaloo!

Enjoy!

Straight from Cologne, Germany, Gamescom 2016 rears its mighty head! And boy do we have a lot to say about it. Not only do we go through the major awards granted this year, but an entire smorgasbord of games. Star Citizen, Zelda, For Honor, Sea of Thieves, Civ 6, Agony, Scorn, Little Nightmares, and more!

Danny, first of his name, has vanished into the void. But in his place, the gang recruits the morally questionable Alex, and his fresh mind and voice. Enjoy!

In their first solo series recording sessions (does that even make sense??) Shaun and Jonathan elegantly blunder their way through talking to themselves about No Man's Sky, Starbound, Final Fantasy 15's delay, The Black Watchmen, Ahnayro: The Dream World, and other fun odds and ends, including horror, and how to use it in games and film! Enjoy the show!

The gang discusses the new Suicide Squad movie, and how it ties into the larger unfolding DC universe. The new animated rendition of the classic Batman graphic novel Killing Joke stays true to the original, and No Man's Sky came out yesterday... or is it tomorrow?​

The gang talks about a disappointing Adr1ft, and wonders aloud why the 1 is in the t1tle. Also, a couple demos in the PS store get a resounding "meh" from Shaun, and Jon talks about experiences in Elder Scrolls Legends and I Am Sestuna. Waiting in the wangs, we've got Telltale's upcoming treatment of Batman, a single-dev game called Lost Soul Aside, and the ultra-realistic Escape From Tarkov.

The gang, minus Danny (who may or may not still be at BronieCon), tease about I Am Setsuna, and go spoiler-free deep in Stranger Things on Netflix. Also, so many trailers, trailers everywhere! Jon ran around ComicCon last weekend, where trailers, and panels, are ridiculous and plentiful. And, of course, Pokemon GO will never die. At least not in the next two or three weeks. And other things!​

The fellas jam hard on the tough upbringing of an NBA rookie from Brooklyn - the unstoppable cutscenes, the load times, the angry trainer tropes... Also, Stranger Things is cool to watch, Necropolis is not cool to play. Canadian strippers have some weird traditions going on, and Pokemon Go is sending Japanese kids to McDonald's. Thanks, Obama!

The gang discusses the far-reaching implications of Pokemon GO on American consumerism, interpersonal relations and traffic patterns. Also discussed: INSIDE, Necropolis, and Mr. Robot, among other shenanigans! WOO!

This week the gang talks about why people don't use Kickstarter for video games anymore, Lumbermancer, the rise of Fig and it's Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch game!

Then ARGs return in grand style, and the guys elaborate on their gaming plans post Steam Summer Sale, including The Flame in the Flood (plus a full review,) Unravel, more Hard West, the emo nature of This War of Mine, the huge strategic remake of Chaos Reborn, and the fascinating Age of Wonders 3! And plenty more cued up for next week...

Shaun and Danny discuss gaming news, including Doom PvP, the fact that The Division has lost 93% of PC players, and juicy bits about the latest upcoming DLC for Destiny, “Rise of Iron”.

Monies have been spent on E3 and Steam sales (and what Jon is currently lost in,) netting games like Sound Shapes, Hard West and Punch Club! Be prepared for a slew of games next week!

Also, people watch TV, and we’re people, so we talk about Wayward Pines, The Witch, and full frontal male nudity on GoT. Also, Danny decides on “warrior dentist” as a class for his son, foregoing the oft overlooked "cleric." Dadquest is seeping over...

Watch (listen?) the #$^%'s off of this!
