Show notes

We conclude our fifth year of the podcast with our fourth FromSoftware show. Leon, Josh, Sean and - making his Cane and Rinse debut - guest Gareth 'Gary Dooton' Dutton go to tahn on Hidetaka Miyazaki's gruesome gothica, Bloodborne.

Podcast special: An interview with Jeff Cork Dec 02, 2016

Show notes

In this Cane and Rinse interview special Leon talks to Game Informer Senior Editor Jeff Cork about his new book, Limitless Sky: No Man’s Sky Unofficial Discovery Guide. Jeff and Leon talk at length about the No Man's Sky saga so far, their hopes and dreams for the future of the game and what Jeff's book might bring to the table for the lapsed to disillusioned player. NB: This podcast was recorded after the latest (major) update for the game had been announced, but before it had been released rendering some of our speculation redundant! With the Foundation patch, Hello Games has already started to implement some of our wish list of features it seems...

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass – Cane and Rinse No.249 Nov 27, 2016

Show notes

Not D-pads nor analogue sticks but styluses. Or should that be stylii? Either way, a contentious change of control method as we conclude the first year of our complete run through of Zelda reviews with The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. Leon, Josh and Leah discuss Daiki Iwamoto's directorial debut, including - of course - its innovative but controversial conceit of a repeating 'central' dungeon. We also hear from the ever-reliable Cane and Rinse community and discover that, as with every other game in the series, opinions are spread wide.

Show notes

Swansong for Nintendo's GameCube and curtain raiser for its Wii, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess arrived at the end of 2006 to critical rapture. Leon, Josh, newly 'permanent' Cane and Rinse member Leah and the departing (for Nintendo) Ryan consider whether a game can be simultaneously "underrated", "overrated", "the best Zelda game ever" and "the worst Zelda ever", like some folks on the internet tells us this one is. Along with contributions from our ever-excellent community, we also talk about Tantalus' 2016 HD version for Wii U. Music used in this issue: Track One: Midna's Lament by Asuka Ohta and Toru Minegishi Track Two: Staff Credits by Asuka Ohta and Toru Minegishi Cane and Rinse 244 was edited by Sean O'Brien Do you have an opinion about a game we're covering that you'd like read out on the podcast?
