It's a big week for big machines.

Episode 408: Pokemon Sleep, Quake 2 Remastered Aug 17, 2023

Show notes

A fragging good time this week as we talk about Quake 2 Remastered, Pokemon Sleep, the Papers Please LCD game, Hello Kitty Island Adventure, follow-up thoughts on Baldur's Gate 3, and a whole lot more. For the younger amongst you, a "Frag" was what we used to call a "kill" in a multiplayer game. "TikToks" were called "Vines", "cringe" was called "awkward" and "listening to music" was called "scrobbling".

Episode 407: Baldur's Gate 3 Aug 10, 2023

Show notes

You enter a dark cave. At the end of the shadowy tunnel sit three figures, hunched over and chattering. Their teeth gnash back and forth as they talk to each other in some garbled, hideous dialect. *Perception check successful* They are speaking with Australian accents, harsh and abrasive. You slowly approach, and realise that they are talking about video games. Specifically, they are talking about the new Red Dead Redemption releases, expensive Ninja Turtles outfits, and something called "Baldur's Gate 3". You draw your sword. *Dexterity check failed* The three figures dodge your attacks almost effortlessly. You realise that these monsters are the loathsome Podcaster beasts you have read about in tomes of old, but believed to have been long extinct after the TikTok wars. They dart back and forth, mocking you as you swing your blade. "The pen is actually mightier than the sword!", they taunt, as though their scribbled descriptions on the cave walls, summaries of what they had talked about that week, could be considered true writing. An insult to the art, you think, as you finally strike a blow on the largest one's head. "My only regret...is not playing more video games..." he stammers, his dying words fittingly pathetic. The other two skitter away, and you collect your spoils. A 64 gigabyte SD card, three microphones of different brands each, and a Zoom H6 recorder with the battery cover missing. Little do you realise, these objects are cursed. As you exit the cave and blink in the returning light, you speak for the first time the words which these enchanted objects have doomed you to repeat for the remainder of your earthly existence: "thanks for listening, and please subscribe to our Patreon."

Episode 405: 2023 So Far Jul 27, 2023

Show notes

It's been a big first half of a big year so the big boys take this big opportunity to have a big look back in this big podcast. I need to buy a big thesaurus, big time. We look back at what we've played, what we'd like to play more of, what we liked, what we didn't like so much, and talk games like Resident Evil 4, Tears of the Kingdom, Dredge, Pizza Tower and literally everything that caught our notice in between. Plus, a little look forward at what we're excited for as the rest of 2023 plays out. It's looking like 2023 is going to be (the first half of) our year.

Episode 403: Baldur's Gate 3 Early Access, Garlic Jul 13, 2023

Show notes

Hark, weary traveller. Stay awhile and allow a simple bard such as myself to sing for you of a tale once spun to the kings of yore. It is of a travelling band of bards, much like yours truly, but they did not sing for their supper. Instead, they used ancient magics to record their voices onto a special type of stone known as a Pod, which they would Cast into a river, hoping that others further down the Stream would hear their words, as they spoke of games and japes most amusing. They spoke one week of Benjamin of Vernel's time with the town of Baldur's Gate, which was still undergoing construction at the time. They spoke of Tommy, ward of house Dassalo, and his discovery of an obscure gem known as Garlic to locals. Hear of Adam, surname Knox, who has played the video game Pikmin 2 and also they all talk about the news and so on as well. What do you mean the ending of the song falls apart? How dare you say it wasn't even a song because none of it rhymed, I was playing my lute the whole time.

Episode 401: Final Fantasy XVI Jun 29, 2023

Show notes

The world is veiled in darkness. The wind stops, the sea is wild, and the earth begins to rot.

The people wait, their only hope, a prophecy....

When the world is in darkness Three Warriors will come....

After a long journey, three young warriors arrive, each holding a MICROPHONE.

Final Fantasy XVI is out, and my friend, we've played it. Plus we finally get to chat about last week's Nintendo Direct, more weird little gossip grabs from the Microsoft trial, Tommy's gotten a weird little nugget shaped Tetris game, and there's a whole bunch more in there too.
