Although Cart Life was released mid-2011, It was really last year that it made a splash in the indie game community pool at large and was even one of our favorite games of the year. Easily one of the most important games one could play, Cart Life is a fascinating and intense look into the life of business management from the perspective of a small business owner that is as fulfilling as it is punishing.

To think that one person was able to create such an intricate and open game is either genius or insanity. So which is Richard Hofmeier? Follow us as we try to find out…

Metal Gear. Snake? Snake?! SNAAAAAAAKKEEEEEE! (We run down the entire main plot of the Metal Gear main series in the first couple of minutes. Spoiler alert for that).

With the Oscars freshly behind us, we spend a good hour this week reading over some Oscar predictions by Matt The Movie Maven (nickname made up just now, like it?) and give our opinions on the whole. Paul watched V/H/S and likens it to some Nine Inch Nails stuff before getting into a bunch of British television while Nathan, riding high on the Coogan train again, has his own British invasion with Desert Island Discs radio podcasts.

Also, Canadian Netflix just kind of sucks… right?

Residual Valentine’s Day love is in the air as Nathan got to see A Good Day To Die Hard and Paul falls in love with sound clips. The two discuss important matters of love, film and the best way to cook perogies.

Also, Nathan gets a bit uppity by an online exchange regarding Argo.

Here is what we’re discussing at the beginning of the show:

Seeing release just before Christmas of 2012, KRUNCH by LeGrudge & Rugged has been a welcome addition to the indie game scene, mixing difficulty and urgency while maintain a distinct retro feel to form it’s own distinct identity. We were able to take some time from Vieko Franetovic (Lou LeGrudge) and Mike Lohaus (Dirk Rugged) soon after the game’s release to discuss indie games, Steam Greenlight initiative and the finer points of making a game leave a lasting impression.

We were supposed to talk Killer7 this week, but in true fashion neither Jon nor I bothered to play the game. Instead, we bring Nathan back as we have a somewhat casual chat about the games we grew up loving. Sit back and relax as we wax poetic about some nostalgia! (p.s. check the tags for the games we discuss.)

This week’s game-along picks are NON-EXISTANT! Go ahead and throw some suggestions and tune in a week from now for our discussion!
