Pokémon Sun and Moon

Scanline Talks ·

2016/12/23

Big releases scatter the months of 2016, and we’re running out of time to play them all before game of the year… but in the background, slowly but surely, Six and Jen are chipping their way through Pokémon Sun and Moon. From a longtime fan and a relapsed enthusiast, what does Alola hold? How is life without any gyms, and who in god’s name thought this online system was a good idea? Give it a listen.

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!

Scanline Status – Episode 5

Scanline Talks ·

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

Scanline Talks ·

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.

Scanline Status – Episode 2

Scanline Talks ·

2016/07/06

With E3 in the rear view mirror, Jennifer, Six, and Johnny get together to discuss their thoughts on the show, David Cage's delusions, Paradox strategy games, World War 1, and... Burger King? This and much more on the second episode of our semi-regular podcast, Scanline Status!

Text But In Words 5: MMO Combat

Scanline Talks ·

2016/06/24

Johnny and Six are both veterans of many years of MMORPGs, with vastly divergent taste in the genre between them. The two get together to talk about what MMOs offer that no other game does, their unique missteps and approaches, and why DPSing is a raw deal. Encounter design, the Trinity, and mislaid plans collide in this latest Text But In Words.

Scanline Status – Episode 1

Scanline Talks ·

2016/06/02

Welcome to our new semi-regular podcast about what's been going on in games and the world beyond! Johnny, Kyrie, and Six join for a roundtable discussion about DOOM, Hitman, Fallout 4, and Taco Bell? Galak-Z is back with The Void, and we should probably read The Name of the Rose. All this and more on our inaugural episode of Scanline Status!

Reviewcast: Street Fighter V

Scanline Talks ·

2016/06/01

We keep it real in these streets. Capcom's biggest fighting game has been back for a few months now, and it's a real mixed bag. Johnny and Six sit down to talk through what it does right, what it does wrong, and where they clearly cut corners to save money. Can this game right the sinking Capcom ship? It's a pretty big ask, but just look at Ryu's biceps and tell me you don't think he's up to the task. Dude punches so hard he FLIES.

Reviewcast: Stardew Valley

Scanline Talks ·

2016/05/24

We've only got one Harvest Moon fan on the regular staff here, so to discuss this one, we had to bring in a friend. Six is joined by Emily of Bottle Crow to discuss the indie darling about escaping your big city life and starting new. We didn't farm this one out, it's homegrown! Sorry. Let's be real, I'm not sorry.

Oops All Anime – Episode 3: Bring Back Baby Steps

Scanline Talks ·

2016/04/23

Since I do the titles and descriptions for our podcasts, I can use them however I want. HEY. Bring Baby Steps back for a third season! For this episode of Oops All Anime, Johnny and Six are joined by Harrison, a friend of theirs and fellow anime enthusiast. Durarara comes to a close, Gundam Iron Blooded Orphans kills a lot of characters, and I guess Attack on Titan is coming back or something. Let’s talk anime!

The Overcast

Scanline Talks ·

2016/04/20

The Overwatch stress test beta has passed us by- and for once, Six and Jennifer have gotten into a Blizzard beta! We've played all the heroes, explored the included maps, and come back with a lot of conclusions, and a handful of questions. Join us as we talk through the whirlwind 48 hours of Overwatch we experienced.

Reviewcast: Firewatch

Scanline Talks ·

2016/03/10

It has been several years since The Walking Dead: Season One made its big splash in the industry, and pushed developers like Jake Rodkin and Sean Vanaman into the spotlight. They since went on to make their own studio, Camposanto, and Firewatch is its first game. Is it fair to think of this as a spiritual successor to The Walking Dead? Or is that doing a disservice to the range of those writers? Johnny, Jennifer, and Six take a long look into the fire, and let it burn.

Slamline Media Episode 1 – Royal Rumble ’16

Scanline Talks ·

2016/03/04

Terrible ideas, ho! Six's been a deeply casual wrestling fan for some time, and Johnny's been a deeply skeptical eyebrow-raiser. What happens when they watch WWE's Royal Rumble 2016 together? Well, they walk away from it and record a podcast that sounds a little something like this. A wrestling newbie with a wrestling amateur, bringing you the hottest of takes. Maybe we'll do this again someday.
