A shorter episode while we prepare for our GotY episode, Zack and Tyler discuss Ubisoft's most left field release this year, Immortals Fenyx Rising. Or, as Tyler facetiously puts it, Breath of the Wild Lite. It's a game that is overshadowed a bit by its bigger brothers, but definitely worth sharing and discussing nonetheless! Be sure to let us know your thoughts on Twitter or Instagram, but definitely consider joining our Discord via Patreon's $2/mo tier.

This week, Tyler joins the Final Fantasy VII Remake train. He and Zack discuss the fantastic gameplay, odd story decisions, and the purpose of remaking any media in the first place. You'll also get to hear them call the magnificent Chadley Bentley for the whole video because Zack spent too much time in Sly 2 this week. It's a good time and we can't wait to share it with you! Let us know your thoughts on this game, Sly 2, and whatever else is on your mind on our Discord or on Twitter.

This week Tyler and Zack finally make their journey through the once great American northwest. After reluctantly picking up The Last of Us Part II for the sake of a well-rounded GotY discussion, we found something worthwhile. Join us as we dive into a sea of controversy and spoilers, wrestling with ideas guaranteed to challenge even the most stalwart of players. Let the tears and blood flow!

Unfortunately, some camera issues mean we're using b-roll to cover the entire episode. More reason for you to go and download us on your favorite podcasting platform!

We're finishing off our Pillars of Horror series with a bang! This week we end it where it all began -- Amnesia: Rebirth launched earlier this month represents a large and intentional departure from the original. Carrion flips the traditional themes of horror on their head as you play as the skulking monstrosity. And Zack finally gets to share RE2: Remake with Tyler! We also have Amannda back to jump in on Resident Evil, a series that she has grown up on and holds very dear.

Big shoutout to Indie James for his footage of Carrion! You can check him out here on YouTube.

This week Zack and Tyler dive into the second pillar of horror via two indie horror hits: the modern classic Lone Survivor and the wildly unforgiving Darkwood.

Wrapping up our discussion about cyberpunk games, Tyler shares one of his all-time favorites with me: Transistor! We also get ready for our horror series by finally playing through Observer together.

Since we scheduled our cyberpunk journey before the release date of Cyberpunk 2077 moved to November, we decided to stick with it! We're playing two games that use the cyberpunk aesthetic to very different ends. Shadowrun Returns is a classic CRPG and Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon is... well... it's Blood Dragon. If you've got cyberpunk on the brain or anything to say about these two gems then hit us up on Discord via our Patreon or just give us a shout on Twitter!
