Celeste – Cane and Rinse No.454 Mar 08, 2021

Show notes

Join Josh, Brian, Rich and Tony as they attempt to ascend traitorous peaks of mysterious mountain while also discovering a bit about ourselves along the way. In this issue we discuss how a game began as a simple test of platforming prowess, then evolved into an examination of mental health through game design allegory, which would ultimately lead one of the developers to a deeply profound revelation about their identity. Alongside this, we discuss how the themes and imagery of the game spoke to our experiences. All this and more, as we cover Maddy Thorson and Noel Berry’s 2018 2D platforming adventure, Celeste. Music featured in this issue: 1. First Steps by Lena Raine 2. Reach for the Summit by Lena Raine Cane and Rinse 454 was edited by Jay Taylor

Show notes

On the eve of the completion of the World Of Assassination trilogy, join James, Jon, Josh and Ryan as they look back at IO Interactive’s fascinating journey bringing Agent 47 back again (again).

Wandersong – Cane and Rinse No.450 Jan 25, 2021

Show notes

To conclude our ninth year of shows we wanted to end on a high note, figuratively at least, with a feel-good game that brought warm feelings of hope and togetherness. Little did we know when we planned the show in late 2019, just how much we'd need Wandersong by late 2020. Leon, Jon, Leah and Sean Bell from The Computer Game Show sing the praises of Eric Lobanov's wholesome platform adventure. Music featured in this issue: 1. Dream Lullaby by Greg Lobanov/Gordon McGladdery 2. The Bard by Greg Lobanov/Gordon McGladdery Cane and Rinse 450 was edited by Jay Taylor
