Electronic Wireless Show Ep 64 - Our first impressions of Artifact Nov 29, 2018

Show notes

This week, three of the boyz chat about their early impressions of card game Artifact. Matt quite likes the nitty gritty complexity of it all, but Dave says it needs to be streamlined, and Brendan is simply too stupid to understand all the moving pieces. There there, Brendan. There there.

Show notes

The world is ending, so here's the team screaming about the best post-apocalyptic games. Brendan enjoys the dark tunnels of the Metro shooters, and Alice B likes the river navigation of The Flame in the Flood. Meanwhile, John enjoys The Long Dark but also yearns for a game where the apocalypse is one of abundance and zoo animals.

We're talking kings and queens this week. Brendan likes the off-hand lieges of Mount & Blade, while Alice B pitied the downfall of the Lich King of Warcraft. And Katharine appreciates the wholesome rule of child king Evan from Ni No Kuni II. But these are just some of the rulers we chat about.

Electronic Wireless Show Ep 60 - Panic! Oct 10, 2018

Show notes

This week we are talking: panic. Matt describes the panic he felt in Amnesia: A Machine For Pigs, but also an unnerving encounter in the terrible land of DayZ. Meanwhile, Brendan praises the panic of Duskers and how it makes you type useless commands. But we also talk a bit more about Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, and there’s a fun quiz featuring the support emails we often get sent in error.

Electronic Wireless Show Ep 59 - What game has the most satisfying kick? Oct 03, 2018

Show notes

From the powerful hoof of Kassandra in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey to the zombie-launching boot of Dying Light, we are chatting about the most forceful feet in games. Alice likes the rapid kicks of Street Fighter’s Chun-Li, while Brendan enjoys the stumbling hoofs of Miguel in Tekken 7. But it’s not all toepokes. Alice has been delivering olives and flirting with Greeks in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey. And both our hosts have played the first episode of Life Is Strange 2. Be warned, there’s some SPOILERS in this chat.

Show notes

John drafts in his three-year-old son Toby to describe the games in this week's Steam Charts. Kingdom Come Deliverance becomes a horrible fighting game called 'Meanies', SCUM becomes 'The Horrible Story', and the sad beasts of Monster Hunter World become the joyous dinosaurs of 'Pterodactyl Spinners'.

Electronic Wireless Show Ep 58 - The funniest bugs we've encountered Sep 12, 2018

Show notes

We're talking about funny bugs. Alice Liguori of the video squad joins us to say hello, and to celebrate the twitchy bodies of the Sims. Meanwhile, Alice Bell tells us about a rude Wyvern who keeps interrupting a romance scene in Dragon Age: Inquisition. And Brendan tests our bug knowledge with a patch notes quiz. We've also been playing Two Point Hospital, Spy Party and Unavowed. We're so very very busy.

Show notes

Onimusha is back, so let's talk about our dream remakes. Dave wants the turn-based tactics of Shining Force to make a comeback, and Brendan is angry that Capcom have said nothing about Dino Crisis. There are other suggestions. A remake of Croc made by From Software? Why not. Gone Home redesigned from the ground up by Ubisoft? Uh, no thanks.
