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,

For God's sake, pay the writers

2024/11/08

How important are the writers? Chamberlain is playing Alan Wake 2, a bad game that should feel bad about itself, whose characters induce headaches every time they open their mouth. Alex is playing Dragon Age The Veilguard, a game that pales when compares to his predecessors. Chance gets around all this writing nonsense by looking at all the new pretties on his PS5 Pro.

Surprisingly little, if any, talk of horror games this week. Boo! But there is the once a year treat of Chamberlain, Chance and Alex all playing the same game at the same time. This time it is the Diablo 4 expansion. One finished it and loved it, the second was enjoying before a bad PC patch killed the framerate and the third got bored and wandered back to Overwatch. Also this week, Russian nihilism in Indika, Dragon Age Veilguard is good and Chance finally finishes Horizon Forbidden West.

The soundtrack episode

2024/10/25

Knowing that it was going to be a slow week, Chamberlain gave the podcast an assignment: come prepared with a list of the top three videogame soundtracks. A list of nine games was produced and there was almost no arguing! Also this week, Alex finishes Metaphor, Chance gives Horizon Forbidden West a second (maybe third?) chance and Chamberlain settles in to the Diablo 4 expansion.

Chance didn't play anything new this week, but he did play old things as the god of resolution and HDR intended on his brand new TV, named the new hotness. Alex has flown through Metaphor, a game he is this close to calling Atlus's best. And Chamberlain moped his way through the Silent Hill 2 remake, easily the best thing that Bloober Team has ever done. Take that how you will.

Scary cute

It's October and there is a new old scary game! Chamberlain was unable to resist the call of Silent Hill 2, the only game to ever give him literal nightmares, and much to his and everyone else's surprise, it's good. He tempered this experience with Astro Bot, a game that Chance ambush played just so he could say that it was not as good as Chamberlain thought it was. And Alex has spent far more time on the demo for Metaphor ReFantazio than is healthy, has consumed the kool aid, and will be up at

2024 is promptly forgotten as Assassin's Creed Shadows has been delayed and, more importantly, Ghost of Yotei has been announced. In the present, undefined time, Chamberlain is still working his way through Dungeons of Hinterland, which has moved far beyond mediocre dungeon crawling into political intrigue and the failings of a tourism based economy. No really. Alex shrinks down to Grounded because he wasn't scared enough of spiders. And Chance stopped playing Star Wars Outlaws just long

In the rarest of occurrences, Chamberlain, Chance and Alex have all played the same game. This time it is Star Wars Outlaws. Unlike modern classics like Spider-Man, however, there is some disagreement on its quality. In other words, Chamberlain hated it and cannot be dissuaded. He brings Nobody Wants To Die and Dungeons of Hinterburg to the table, but makes no progress. Chance is still playing sabacc on Tatooine and Alex has gotten back together with an old girlfriend named X-Com 2, having forgotten

Same podcast, slightly better

Chamberlain and Chance ·

2024/09/13

Yes, two thirds of the people on the podcast are not fans of the PS5 Pro's price. Two thirds will also end up buying it, but is that the same two thirds? Also this week, Chamberlain was right to be concerned about Vision of Mana's writing. They are either bad at their job or cowards. Chance wishes Star Wars Outlaws had a new game plus and Alex continues to enjoy an incredibly deep, complicated game that few other people understand.

In a moment that no one saw coming, Chance heartily endorses a Ubisoft game for the first time since Far Cry 3. Star Wars Outlaws is his new love and he swears that history will eventually see it as right up there with Knights of the Old Republic. Chamberlain is plenty happy with a easy, breezy, beautiful JRPG that isn't trying to kill him in every encounter: Visons of Mana. And Alex tries to play Metal Gear Solid 5, finds the conspicuous absence of cards and Deadpool to much to bare, then

There will be no 420 jokes in this episode. Drugs are to be taken seriously, with intent, as they can lead to extended conversations on Kojima's skewed view of women and why Metal Gear Solid 5 needs a current gen remaster anyway. Drugs certainly had nothing to do with Chamberlain tapping out on the last boss on SMT V and Alex getting lost in Prince of Persia The Lost Crown. Chance didn't really play anything this week, so there may be a 420 joke there.

It's been two weeks and Chance still has not finished a play through of Baldur's Gate 3. He has started over, twice, and then gone back to punching zombies in Dead Island 2. Alex has emerged from his cruise unscathed, or at least well enough to get started on the Persona 3 remake and Prince of Persia The Lost crown. And Chamberlain, who has never played a Pokémon game, has put a ton of hours into Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance, which is literally a Pokémon game, just with heavy religious

This week, Chamberlain finishes up Tevi and then gives Shin Megami Tensei 5 a second chance, now that he can play it on a real console at more than a handful of frames per second. Alex spends far too much time trying to get Rayman 3 running on his Steam Deck. And Chance plays a just enough of Thank Goodness You're Here to realize that he is not British enough to get the humor, then returns to his power run of Baldur's Gate III, which he swears he will finish this time.

No, it was not the Crowdstrike debacle that took us down last week. Chalk that up to a simple internet outage. But we did use that time to double down on our efforts of playing new and exciting things. And by that I mean that Alex got all of the Bioware games he cares about running on the Steam deck, Chance hates Overwatch again and Chamberlain is playing a magical bunny girl metroidvania that he swears is not actually about a magical bunny girl, it's just a regular girl in a hat with ears,

Chance and Alex admit, with no prodding, that the final boss of the Erdtree expansion is not fun or good. This does not mean that they have stopped playing Elden Ring, only that they are not bothering with that boss again. It did drive Alex back to the original Dark Souls titles and Chance to high level comp success in Overwatch 2, so win/win? And Chamberlain finished Cookie Cutter without understanding what, if anything, the title meant, then gave up on life and reinstalled Diablo IV.

Chamberlain and Chance ·

2024/06/28

Everyone in the whole world is playing Shadow of the Erdtree. Alex is stuck on the final boss, which he admits is on the less fair side or things, and Chance is taking his sweet time, backstroking through the world, stumbling headlong into areas that he didn't know he needed to do. They love it, but the praise is not without some complaints. Chamberlain hates things that everyone else like she he his playing Cookie Cutter, a hand drawn, hyper violent metroidvania featuring a late 80's punk

It's not Elden Ring time YET. Instead, Alex messed around in the beginning of Kingdom Come before playing a good chunk of Dragon Age Inquisition, remember that, once upon a time, Bioware made good games. Chance messed around in the middle of Kingdom Come, all the while fighting with his old PS4 for character saves for the Erdtree expansion. And Chamberlain sampled Eiyuden Chronicle Hundred Heroes, then moved on to Still Wakes the Deep a fine sci-fi horror walking sim with a tremendous Scottish

It's not E3! This year's not E3 saw a very, very tepid Summer Games Fest and a much better than expected Xbox Games Showcase. Chance would love to tell you about them, and he would if he were not distracted by the several year old Kingdom Come Deliverance, a game that Chamberlain denounced as trash upon its release. Chamberlain has had little time for frivolities, spending his precious few free minutes optimizing the fenders on his tank in SandLand. And Alex put his personal relationships at

Back again

2024/06/07

Being unapologetically gen-x, Chamberlain was most amused by Shady's return. Chance, having more refined tastes, was bemused. And Alex refused. In other news, Chamberlain played Deliver Us Mars, a depressing hard sci-fi walking sim and enjoyed it. Chance finished his domination of nuka world in Fallout 4. And Alex watched all of the Elden Ring expansion footage he could find, then promptly started a new character.

Politics warning! We have been avoiding this for weeks but tonight it was just to juicy. If you would like to avoid our righteous schadenfreude, skip forward about ten minutes. There you will find that Chamberlain hated Hellblade 2 so much that he quit playing it, finally settling on Tales of Kenzara. Chance is still on Fallout 4, picking his way through Nuka-World, waiting for the best time to kill everyone else there. And Alex made it out to see Furiosa, and shame on all of you nerds out there who
