The Destiny Check-In – Episode 0

Scanline Talks ·

2019/10/12

With the release of Destiny 2: Shadowkeep and Destiny: First Light, the pendulum of Bungie's sci fi magic shooter has swung back into Good Times. Not that Forsaken was bad, but... well, nevermind. The point is, there's never been a better time to get involved with Destiny, and get way into it. Six has had an on-again, off-again relationship with ages, but this is the most positive ve's felt about it since The Taken King. To talk out those feelings, Six is joined by Niall, Destiny lord

Scanline Talks ·

2019/09/07

Yakuza 7's been announced, and it's a turn-based RPG. Judgment is out, and might be getting a sequel, so now there's a detective spinoff series.

Scanline Talks ·

2019/09/06

We've officially cast aside the unofficial name: now it's just the GachaPod. Allen was right, that other name isn't a good idea. It's a great idea, but it's not a good idea. But we are still here to talk about gacha games, what makes them tick, how much they do or don't respect your money... and a lot more. On this episode, Six is joined by Briar Sovereign (@weregazelle) and Dylan (@LowPolyRobot) are joined in their love of Gundam to talk about how much they... don't love Gundam Battle: Gunpla

Ill-Gotten Games Episode 3 – Epic Games Store

Scanline Talks ·

2019/08/07

Well, here we go again, eh? Before you go too much further, please understand the conceit of this episode: while the Epic Games Store has its problems as a service, the bigger problem lies with the reaction of fanatical gamer abusers who use their dislike of it along with racism and xenophobia as a justification for vile and toxic acts. We don't love the Epic Games Store here at Scanline, but we sure as shit don't hate it, and we find ourselves in the unusual position of defending it because the
