So you know it's good

Chamberlain and Alex both love and have pretty much finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Yes, it can be a bit on the difficult side at times, but turn based RPGs are so scarce that an excellent one coming out of nowhere is to be celebrated. Celebrated with lots and lots of spoilers! Chance did not like it, because he does not like turn based RPGs, and instead watched a whole bunch of movies while screwing up his Overwatch placement matches.

We need more time

Truly, our cups runneth over. Clair Obscur Expedition 33 has come out to universal critical acclaim. Alex agrees, and contrary to his usual MO, Chamberlain also has qualified nice things to say, qualified because his heart still belongs to South of Midnight. Alex has also unlocked the 'wife plays games with me' achievement in multi-player Baldur's Gate 3. And Chance has finally taken a break from Assassin's Creed Shadows for the one cause that is possibly more noble than running

Puzzle game or sleep aid

2025/04/18

Chance has tried to leave feudal Japan, unsuccessfully. He is on playthrough two of Assassin's Creed Shadows after revisiting Ghost of Tsushima just long enough to see that it doesn't look as good. Chamberlain cannot believe that the same people who made We Happy Few just release South of Midnight, a game he loves in spite of its flaws. And Alex sticks by his strange statement that Blue Prince is an excellent puzzle game and not just something that put Chamberlain to sleep.

Nintendo does what Sony don't?

The Switch 2 has a release date and a price, sooner and more expensive than most people expected. There is probably an "Alex was right" moment in here somewhere. Also this week, Chance continues to make Chamberlain feel bad for giving up on Assassin's Creed Shadows so quickly. Alex tries and fails to just play a little bit of Elden Ring. And Chamberlain has experience the joys and tragedies of a fine British apocalypse in Atomfall.

And then she left me

2025/03/28

Opinions on Assassin's Creed Shadows differ wildly this week. One of us declares it the best game in the series and the other dropped it after five hours. The third person was Alex, who dodged the entire argument by continuing on with Kingdom Come Deliverance II. Also this week: Iron Meat, helicoptering and figuring out who gets the dog after the breakup, Chamberlain or Ubisoft.

What is a henry level potion, anyway?

2025/03/21

Chance continues on his Kingdom Come Deliverance II missionary venture, finally drawing Alex into its web. Now he too is brewing potions, forging weapons, failing speech checks, and he swears that he is having a good time doing it. Assassin's Creed Shadows has briefly stolen Chance's attention, but who knows for how long. And Chamberlain continues to play game that no one else has even heard of. This week: Valfaris Mecha Therion. That is not a typo.

Both ends

2025/03/14

Chance continues to live in Kingdom Come Deliverance II, molding his Henry into the sneakiest, sexiest, deadliest, most well spoken bloke that world has every seen. If he isn't king by the time he is done something is wrong. Chamberlain and Alex have slid into indies and AA titles. Chamberlain finds reasons to overlook Unknown 9's obvious flaws while Alex types his time way to success in Cryptmaster and fills the rest of his days with Brotato.

Chamberlain and Alex have both finished Avowed, so massive spoiler warning. They both had a great time but one did a better job teaching morals and values to a young immortal being than the other. Alex has also finished what there is of Hades II, declaring it a more than worthy sequel. And Chance is still living in Kingdom Come Deliverance II. Literally living there. He has forwarded his mail and spends most of his time out back in the alchemy shed.

Planned exclusivity

2025/02/21

Chamberlain has joined the 'Avowed is good' parade with Alex, calling it the arcade racing game of first person open world RPGs, which coming from him is a compliment. Alex is approaching the end of said game because because not everything needs to be over 100 hours long. And Chance has taken the exact opposite approach to playing digital pretend with Kingdom Come Deliverance II, a game whose moment to moment gameplay Chamberlain compares to the horse testicles in Red Dead Redemption

Listen early for cash money

Chamberlain and Chance ·

2025/02/14

Alex is officially part of the problem: he has paid for early access to Avowed and after around two hours declares exactly what he always wanted. Chamberlain bounces off of everything before fighting with a new TV and Chance plays through Sekiro again and again, honing his skills, preparing for Elden Ring Nightreign.

Only Chamberlain is playing something new, suffering through the new normal of obnoxiously difficult metroidvania bosses, courtesy Ender Magnolia. It's not as mean as Grime, but it's close. Chance has rediscovered Sekiro and is somehow better at it now than when he finished it the first time. And Alex finished the final Skyrim DLC over a decade after release. It's about time.

Important answers!

Sexy vampires or corpse-like monsters? Goth or weeb? New mediocre games or ten plus year old masterpieces? These questions and more answered this week! Chamberlain tries to remember the name of Ender Magnolia shortly after buying it, Chance gloats over his domination of Sekiro and Alex is still finding quests in Skyrim that he swears weren't there before.

Continued apologies

Chamberlain and Chance ·

2025/01/24

It's movie week, at least for one of us. Chance has seen Nosferatu and declared it the finest vampire movie OF ALL TIME. Make sure to address your comments appropriately. Alex continues to dominate late stage Stardew Valley with his wife. And Chamberlain make apologies for being 50 plus hours into Dragon Age The Veilguard, still not liking the combat, but not wanting to put it down.

The empty weeks

Chamberlain and Chance ·

2025/01/17

It is still catch up time. Chamberlain has come almost full circle on Dragon Age The Veilguard. It's still a dumb name and the combat is still not great, but everything is slowly growing on, like a mold that writes middling dialogue. Alex has hooked his Steam Deck up to a TV and re-discovered couch co-op, playing Stardew Valley with his wife (the most romantic things I have ever heard of) and Chance revisited old friends before killing them in Elden Ring.

Welcome to 2025! Yes, we are still doing this.Chamberlain has doubts about his game of the year 2024 list after finishing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, then has doubts about Alex's taste after putting time into Dragon Age The Veilguard. Chance decides that Alex is the arbiter of all things good and that Chamberlain is always wrong after roughly ten playthroughs of the Resident Evil 4 remake and quitting Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth after 10 hours. And Alex consumes more co-op games on his Steam

Game of the Year 2024

Chamberlain and Chance ·

2024/12/20

The only game of the year list that matters! And with no Spider-Man released this year (the only games to have every swept these prestigious awards) what can you expect? No spoilers, but there is wealth involved. And a tree. And haptic feedback.Also this week, Alex splurges on the Steam sale and plays Oddworld Stranger's Wrath, Chamberlain loves Ys X but does not love Indiana Jones and The Great Circle and Chance finally comes around on the Resident Evil 4 remake.

As shiny as Keighley's shoes

We apologize for the interruption during the early part of the episode, new Elden Ring DLC was announced and both Alex and Chance needed to change their pants. Yes, Alex is back, and spent a lot of time in Elder Scrolls Oblivion, of all things. Chance downloaded several dozen games on to his PS5 Pro and still just play more Star Wars Outlaws and Chamberlain just might have a crush on Karja from Ys X. And Adol, but who doesn't love Adol.

Avada ke-something

2024/12/06

We took a week off for some silly American holiday, came back all rested and ready, and Alex is busy again. We miss him so. Chance, who always plays the most recent games, finally found Hogwarts Legacy cheap enough to warrant an attempt and is pleasantly surprised. It's not the deepest game in the world but Hogsmeade is cool and bashing goblins to bits never really get old. Likewise, Chamberlain has settled into Ys X, a comfort food game that looks two generations old, plays one generation old, but

STALKER 2 is finally out, which in and of itself is impressive, and the game is a lot like the first game, which is not entirely good news. Chamberlain bemoans the poor console port and swears vengeance upon the packs of radioactive dogs that are far too hard to shoot. And Chance dives into the Star Wars Outlaws DLC. Not enough sabacc but just the right amount of Lando. Rawr.No Alex, he was busy putting up Christmas decorations.

Various coping methings

Videogames, movies, and nothing else. Nothing else of importance happens. Really.Chamberlain finished Alan Wake II. Everyone who told you that the game is good is wrong and their taste should be questioned. Chance (who hated Alan Wake II) is still throwing old games at his new TV and PS5 Pro to see what sticks, stopping only to play 6v6 in Overwatch and remembering that the game used to be fun. And Alex (who also hated Alan Wake II) is still working on the companion quests in Dragon Age Veilguard,
