Scanline Talks ·

2019/05/01

Please enjoy this meaty interview as Six asks Erik questions about the PR side of games that is so rarely covered. Whether

2019/04/20

After much consideration, Six and Jen sit down to hash out their thoughts on the latest From Software release, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Maybe when people argue about difficulty, they aren't REALLY arguing about difficulty... they're arguing about fairness, and being respected as a player. Or maybe they are just arguing about difficulty XD Don't worry, we talk about plenty more than just the Easy Mode debate. The intro music is the main menu theme from Sekiro, and the outro music is Emma's

Scanline Talks ·

2019/02/09

Our Gimmick Awards for 2018 continue with the big question on everyone's mind: what about them tunes, though?

Scanline Talks ·

2019/02/05

That's the thinking behind our Best Old Game category, where returning guest Nick joins Jen and Six to talk about non-2018 games that they, nonetheless, played in 2018.

Welcome back to Ill-Gotten Games: I'm sorry that we had to have you back.

Oops All Anime Gaiden Episode 5 – RWBY Spoilercast

Scanline Talks ·

2018/08/24

Much like our last podcast was a roundabout discussion of RWBY Volume 1, this episode is a roundabout sort of spoilercast. We actually try not to spoil very much? Six and Olivia talk in general terms about the five seasons of RWBY, their themes, and the progression of the development team as they find their legs making a story serially. We aim to preserve as much mystery as we can: we only spoil enough to entice, and to pitch the show generally. Or unpitch it? Gosh. It's not all champagne and
