Infinite Cities

We've got another new game this week, and this time, we're giving in to our astonishment and playing Tunic! It's a lovely little slice of zelda exploration with some dark souls mechanics and some pretty difficult combat for the unprepared, but it's the delight of discovery that really carries the game forward for all of our hosts this week. If you don't want things spoiled, we'd suggest you play through at least the ringing of the east and west bells before listening!   in this episode: precision

Our last game, Slayers X, was faux-retro, with all the edginess and jank of the 90s despite coming out in 2023. This game is real-retro, but is cute, colorful, and in surprisingly good shape for its age! Except for maybe some of the literal (3d) shapes? We must have just had lower standards back then! It's Mode 7!  No wait...  It's Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island! In this episode: MODE 7, the solemn sacred duty of podcasting, being floaty, extra lives, how big is a big level, Super Mario World

For this week, we've decided to pick up our first boomer shooter of the podcast, and what a hell of a game this turned out to be. Slayers X is a spin-off/follow-up to 2019's Hypnospace Outlaw, and is a game created by the fictional character of Zane Lofton. It's full of 90s nostalgia, hackblood charges, and just so, so many poop jokes.  In this episode: we've got new intro music (thanks cliff!), nu metal, 90s charm, rats, our boomer shooter experiences, zane is a loser, old people are weird, the

We're finally putting Outer Wilds (mostly) behind us, as four of the the five of us have finished - and all five of us have some really big thoughts. Mostly praise! This was a game truely like no other, and while Feather from the future really wants you to know the game is like an 8.5 / 10 (even if it's a 5/5 hole score) it's still a special gem that we're all glad to have gotten to experience. In this episode: Karp is removed from infinite cities until his performance improves, breaking spacetime

Outer Wilds is an absolute joy of a game, capturing wonder and exploration and puzzles in a near-perfect little solar system. It's so good, that we're recommending you hold off on this episode (or at least all of the episode after about 20 minutes in) until you've started it. Not finished it, mind you - we haven't finished it either! (Except Gary, who doesn't count.) This episode is just part 1. In fact, the ideal way to consume both Outer Wilds and Infinite Cities might just be to play about 8-10

Hello Listener.  This episode talks about the 2014/2016/2022 puzzle adventure RPG game OneShot - but you knew that already. You also know how this episode ends. We've been here before. This is not the first Episode 2. This is just the first Episode 2 you can still change. Do be careful though, because you only have One Shot - and if you close this podcast, Gary dies. (he does not actually die he is fine) In this episode: spoiler zone purpose and philosophy, RPG maker games as a genre, will had a bad

We begin with a game about life changes, finding yourself in a new place, and making yourself a home out of a space. We think this is a good fit for our beginning, although Feather still doesn't know where to put all the little towels and Karp is still unpacking even more socks.  Content warnings: full unpacking spoilers from 0:16:00. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse spoilers in the postpod, from 1:27:00. In this episode: please unpack that box (yes that box), busywork and moving stress, deeply

Thank you so much for joining us! It doesn't matter you've been with Infinite Cities Blaseball for a hundred episodes, or if you're finding us for the first time, we're glad you're here. In the shortest possible terms, Infinite Cities is a podcast about friends playing good games, together.  In a longer explaination, you have this epsiode, where we're talking about our plans for Infinite Cities, and re-introducing ourselves - and getting lost several times along the way. It's all part of the
