Total Pebble Knockdown

A message from the stars. Lessons from the extreme sports genre. A lost crowbar. The last of the shrimp. A concerning knocking sound...

You can climb things with hooks. Also, we put out an eye. The ATV rolls down a hill. There's a signal in the woods...

The true horror was the friends we made along the way. Voices of the Void continues to create more mysteries than answers. We start settling into the old workplace routine.

It would appear that the ATV is in need of repair. Better work on fixing that, but we'll need some money for a toolbox. Also, we need to figure out the toolbox exists.

Just why people enjoy playing simulation games that mimic real-life jobs, such as Lawn Mower Simulator, Power Washing Simulator, and Car Mechanic Simulator.

Nathan and Alex discuss how frustration can be an intentional and beneficial game mechanic, particularly in Souls-like and roguelike genres.If you're new here, we've been doing out podcast while gently playing the Sunlit Valley mod for Minecraft as something to do while we chat about games.

Things are starting to go horribly wrong. It was really our fault. ATV landed in a lake, slipped on some oil, jumped off a wind turbine, failed at upgrading, can't math anymore, etc. We may never find life beyond the stars due to our own ineptitude. Welcome to part 4 of Voices of the Void.

Back at our satellite array, we start getting serious about our job. Time to do some maintenance on the satellites, transformers and maybe even ourselves. But we also find time for some sick ATV stunts and exploration both above and below...

Now that we have the basics down, it's time to get our first assignment and get the facility up and running. But more importantly, we get an ATV! Time to do some sick tricks!

We begin our journey into Voices of the Void, the indie darling taking gaming by storm. In this series, Nathan will be taking the reins to learn the ropes at his new job managing a satellite array. Alex, who will not tell Nathan about the game, is going to continue trying not to tell him about the game as we go.On this episode, we spend the first day on the job learning what we are supposed to do, determining what we would like to do instead and finding new exciting ways to die on accident. Typical TPK content all around.
