The Talkthrough

Don't you hate it when you're trying to take some fun tourist-y photos on vacation when an elite alien warrior appears from thin air and takes you hostage?

You and Dr. Anders both. In this episode of the Talkthrough, we're still at war, destroying some giant death machines and wondering where we left that bug spray as we encounter the Flood for the first time. Thanks for listening!

Don't you just hate it when you book a nice vacation with the family at a resort world and then an alien species invades, leaving you stranded in the midst of a bloody war for humanity's survival? Us too.  Join us this week as we get those civies off-world, repel a covenant onslaught, and find out how many licks of plasma it takes to get to the center of a tootsie po-... covenant force field. Thanks for listening!

Hey all, we're taking another brief break this week, but we'll be back next week and picking up Halo Wars right where we left off. Enjoy a blast from the past with our 2023 New Years Roundup episode! Thanks for listening!

The finale of the game pass summer series has arrived! We're saying goodbye with a classic, the original RTS for console players, Halo Wars.  In this episode we're discussing the swan song of Ensemble Studios, creators of the Age of Empires series, and marveling and just how good of a job they did translating a traditionally PC genre onto a controller. Thanks for listening!

The lads are on holiday this week, so let's take a trip into the past to talk about some game announcements from last summer!| Thanks for listening!

It's the turn-based tactics game The Lamplighter's League, and we're giving it the old Talkthrough Try! Thanks for listening.

They can't all be bangers.

In this episode we're entering the rant room, and every time we try to leave they drag us back in. We're talking puzzles that don't puzzle enough, some beautiful music, and saying "strong on vibes" a lot without really being able to pin down what that means. Thanks for listening!

We have ascended to the top of the mountain, and are now indistinguishable from Polyglot gods of masked societies. 

Join us for another entry in our Summer Series. This week we're playing chants of Sennar, in which we conquer language, run from very scary monsters, and make key-making science our censored word. Thanks for listening!

If you like robots, guns, and bromances, boy do we have the episode for you! In this episode of The Talkthrough we take a bite out of Remedy's Titanfall 2, bonding with our best robot bud, hopping through time like Chronos reborn, and resisting the urge to puke from vertigo. Thanks for listening!

The Summer of Game Pass Games continues with Arcane Studios' Deathloop! Zak and I die again and again as we loop through what shapes up to be an unexpected gem in an even more unexpected format. Also, we shoot at each other a bit. Pretty neat!

Thanks for listening!
