Wive Fwom Bwookwyn - Ep. 206

I want you to think back for a moment on a game that you played when you were younger. Particularly, a game that you love and you hold close to your heart. A game that warms your heart and soul; one that puts a smile on your face as you reminisce of the times that you spent exploring that world. You’ve got one? Good.

Now I want you to be objective for a moment. Try your best to remove all of the nostalgia that you feel for the game. Does that story hold up now? What elements about that story make it hold up and stay relevant? What elements of the story make it feel dated?

On this week’s episode, we attempted to answer that question to the best of our ability, as we wanted to discuss what elements of a story keep it relevant and what elements don’t lend itself to the present. We talked about Ghost of Tsushima, Untitled Goose Game, Necrobarista, and the new Battletoads game. We rounded up the show with some social media polls and some general silliness.

We hope that you enjoy the show, and that you have a lovely week!

Wah Hoo - Ep. 113

What the hell, Fish? You decided to leave us alone this week while we recorded the podcast? How could you do this to us? We talked about real-life scenarios in video games and if they are more affecting, but you weren’t even there to weigh in on that. It really hurts, man. On top of that, we had our wonderful Chompers weighed in with some tasteful and interesting perspectives, but you weren’t there to hear them. The polls were fun as always, but you were off gallivanting around, traipsing off to Montana to go to some wedding or something. Well… I hope that you’re at least here next week. We missed you. No one can fill your shoes.
