Ill-Gotten Games Episode 1 – Steam Store Curation

Scanline Talks ·

2018/07/18

As much as we love video games, the business practices around them can be repugnant. The ugly nature of capitalism is often in full effect, and normal people bear the weight of the greed and selfishness of corporations. This is Ill-Gotten Games, a podcast where we talk about the worst ways capitalism can poison our passion. Join Six Dettmar and Jennifer Unkle on this first episode as we talk about the Steam Store curation debacle of the last few months, and Valve's careless approach to running a

Reviewcast: Night in the Woods

Scanline Talks ·

2017/04/05

The name may invoke a forest full of fear, but young adult anxiety is the true terror here! Jen and Six dive deep on Night in the Woods, a narrative game from developer Infinite Fall. Dare you enter Possum Springs, and learn its dark secrets- like why I am trying to make this sound like a scary campfire story? You don't stand a ghost of a chance of figuring it out, because it's really not super germane to the game that we really liked quite a lot! OoooOoOoooOoooOo!

2017/03/25

Jen and Colin teamed up with special guest Andy to discuss The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild! Sharkboys, rainstorms, criminally underdeveloped society, and mecha elephants! Would the game be better with no dungeons at all, and just shrines? Why can’t we just talk to the monsters? We don’t really discuss that last one but listen anyway!

The Investigation Team digs deeper into Persona 4! On part 2 of our podcast on the PS2/Vita JRPG, Six and Jen talk about the cast of characters, from party members to villains to side characters.

Scanline Status – Episode 8

Scanline Talks ·

2016/09/19

This podcast comes in three flavors: Bond, Bourne, or Bauer. If you got that joke, congratulations, and I’m sorry. Six has been playing Ace Attorney: Spirit of Justice and Alpha Protocol, Jennifer’s been playing all sorts of games about AI and loneliness, and in the middle of it all we discuss the legacy of Chris Metzen, why so few games treat human relationships with any real depth, and how bad Six is at intros.

Scanline Status – Episode 7

Scanline Talks ·

2016/09/11

On this episode of Scanline Status, we celebrate the anniversary of the Dreamcast, and discuss the legacy it left for our industry. Then we keep the old games train running as we discuss Terraria, Shadow Complex, X-Men: Mutant Apocalpyse, and WoW (again). What is it like when you revisit an old game, and you feel differently. Sometimes, the game's been patched or expanded, but usually, you're the one who's changed.

Scanline Status – Episode 6

Scanline Talks ·

2016/09/04

Sorry. Forgot to knock. Jennifer has been checking back in with 2010’s hottest Bond game, Goldeneye Reloaded, while Six’s been a super ineffectual mayor in Animal Crossing: New Leaf. We still find time for modern releases, though- the newest Myst followup Obduction and the latest with the Metal Gear Solid series are hot on our minds. We’re still figuring out the structure of this now-weekly cast, so send any ideas to @SixTwoSixFour on Twitter, and thanks for listening!

2016/08/28

The world of Azeroth never left you- you left it. And you were right to leave, and it's sorry, but baby, it's changed. Baby, come back. Fight the Legion. Try out our new class revamps. Or maybe you'd prefer a nice mobile game about hacking people's personal accounts? Maybe what you really need is just a good natural disaster to reign chaos down on your carefully constructed city. All this and more on this week's Scanline Status, with Six and Jennifer.

Scanline Status – Episode 4

Scanline Talks ·

2016/08/15

Come in, try a nice puzzle. We've seen some movies, we've played some games, we've got thoughts about eSports. The Overwatch World Cup, Professor Layton, Suicide Squad, Mr. Robot, and the last gasp of our collective patience with Warner Bros's vision of DC comics. We can't pour you a cup of tea, obviously- this is an audio medium. But just imagine we are. A cup of tea, just for you. Sip it, and enjoy this episode of Scanline Status.

Scanline Status – Episode 3

Scanline Talks ·

2016/08/05

You know what my favorite thing about Pokemon Go is? The number of my friends who have come back to the handheld games because of it. Seriously, I've heard so many people say "I stopped playing at around generation 3" who are now grabbing X or Y and remembering what they liked about Pokemon. Evolve is... still a mess, a year and a half later. Jennifer's been playing The Warriors, apropos of (almost) nothing. It's another Scanline Status, and we don't have junk food news this time. Sad face.

Zero Patience Dilemma

2016/07/18

Jennifer and Six have finished Zero Time Dilemma, and have a podcast of thoughts for you! Crashing the party is friend of the site Emily, who isn't short on opinions of her own. The Zero Escape series may finally have come to a close with this third installment, but the debate will rage on forever- are they secretly super stupid? Also, can you tell that Six is the one who wrote this description? We look at the whole series, from 999 through ZTD, and figure out where we've ended up. Join us.
