How Long To Beat ·

2024/03/17

This week Josh and Paula have been travelling through the same Rusty Lake game, while exploring other strange worlds and stretching their brains into recursive logic and world-wide disease manipulation. It’s been a bit of a week. However, all that is nothing compared to HLTB meeting an impressive milestone and prompting a discussion about how our hosts came to the site and how they use it. Finally there’s an absolute classic on the table for the guessing game… but is Josh’s brain still working well

2024/03/03

This week Paula has been beating all the games and playing even more, while Josh continues to work through the same old titles, plus a couple of new ones.

S3 E27 - Playing Around With The Clouds

How Long To Beat ·

2024/02/25

In this episode Paula and Josh have been spreading their wings and trying out a bunch of different games. Paula has been surviving through different world’s that may or may not be trying to kill her, while Josh has been moseying down memory lane and getting a bit retro and nostalgic. Quite the contrast to our topic of the week, which is the recent Steam NextFest, and we have a bunch of fresh demos and games to talk about that we each tried (with varying levels of success). Until finally, Paula has

How Long To Beat ·

2024/02/18

This week we get all romantic and have a big chat about everything Otome, Romance, and Valentine-related in video games, but not before we delve into everything we’ve been playing. Paula has levelled up her football skills while dealing with VIP clients and Pokemon Banks. At the same time Josh fought a giant foot, a tall ghost woman, and was swept up in the cringe of teen angst. Can he get over it in time to guess a game in the weekly guessing game? The answer may surprise you… (or not)… (in fact it

Josh has been drooling over some smooth animations this week, while puzzling in three dimensions and fighting for justice!

They follow it all up with a weekly topic, focusing on physical gaming and the experience of actually buying games in Chile and Australia. What cultural differences change the landscape for us, and what similarities exist? Of course,

2024/02/04

This week we’re talking about some Kickstarter and crowd-funding stories from the past and Josh gets quite fired up over a few specific examples; so strap yourself in for a rant a half. Meanwhile Paula has been reliving some glory days in the courtroom and Josh has been jumping between classic point-and-click adventures, Netflix mobile games, and a classic sim-racer (all of which are completed games that were not crowd-funded and still managed to be released without taking regular people’s money and

S3 E19 - The Night Before Christmas

How Long To Beat ·

2023/12/24

It’s the night before Christmas and we have a delightfully packed holiday themed episode for you today. Josh has finished off a few games, and been thrown in the deep end of running a galactic empire, with dubious results. While Paula has been solving cases and getting close to some pigeons with ulterior motives. Thankfully though, all is saved when we discuss the kinds of holiday-specific games and gaming experiences that we associate with this time of year. Then, can Paula pull away once again

This week Paula and Josh have completed the same cat-themed time-travelling hidden-object game, but not a lot else. Once again they’ve avoided retiring anything, but Paula has been playing with clones, while Josh skated his way through some sentimental adventures in growing up.

Glory to Paula, as she deals with suspect documentation and terrorist cells at the border; while Josh hacks his way into some kid’s chat logs, and fights no good darn dirty soviet robots.

Back in the real world, Paula has been enjoying a symphony of video game classics, prompting a chat about favourite game soundtracks and recommendations.

How Long To Beat ·

2023/11/12

This week Paula’s been getting deeper in mafia business and repeatedly dying while trying to survive the apocalypse. Meanwhile Josh has been finishing off a co-op adventure and taking the time to tidy things up before falling further into the Rusty Lake universe. What really matters though, are the comfort games we hold dear to our heart, so we have a bit of a chat about some perhaps unexpected titles that always make us feel good.

After the onslaught of demos in the last episode, things have relaxed a little and we have a handful of titles to talk about. What happens though, when you get overwhelmed with choice and have to decide what to play, or maybe you just can’t put down that hot new game in spite of other interests?! Our discussion this week focuses on gaming droughts and gluts, and our own experiences. Finally, it’s Josh’s turn to attempt a bit of redemption and put some points on the board in our HLTB guessing
