2016/09/05

This week on The Free Cheese, we just want to be heard! Joe, Marc, and Dashe gather in a conversation about the classic days of Castlevania and Final Fantasy. We learn about Dashe's gaming history and the first game that he ever beat. We talk about the two very different camps of Final Fantasy fans and how Marc walks the line in between them. We go a little further into some of the Nintendo Direct announcements, if only to create new conspiracy theories to flood the internet with. What have we

This week on The Free Cheese, we talk directly to you about Nintendo. Kyle and Joe close out our month of Metroid coverage with a conversation about Metroid: Zero Mission. We talk about our experience with the game, why every Metroid game should be like this one, and why it's okay that Nintendo is a little strict with the use of its IP. After a week, Kyle has explored and understands a bit more of No Man's Sky, yet he still is not convinced the game is anything more than he originally thought it to

This week on The Free Cheese, Joe and Kyle try to understand discipline and attempt to balance their expectations with reality. We wonder why No Man's Sky is no more exciting than a trailer, and how difficult it is to create something that still provides thrill and surprise to encourage playground chatter in the modern era. We look at what makes stories interesting to us and try to uncover why we are so easily dismissive and how we never accomplish anything. Kyle tells us stories of his recent

This week on The Free Cheese, Marc and Joe learn to love together forever. While Kyle is away, Marc and Joe talk about the cancellation of Metroid Dread. The lost game from 2005 remains a mystery but as we look back, we try to understand what it may have meant canonically for the series. Marc sees red in Doom and sees nothing inside of Metroid Prime: Blast Ball. Joe remains unimpressed with the 2.5D Bloodstained, but gets super spooked in the midst of Metroid Prime. We talk about the upcoming PS4

This week on The Free Cheese, we talk a lot about homeless Mario. To start our month of Metroid coverage for the series' 30th anniversary, we briefly discuss our own personal histories with the franchise. We talk about the horror/not horror elements of the games and what makes a great Metroid. Kyle finds himself riding a bike in circles to hatch more eggs, while Joe plays pretend soccer in Metroid Prime: Blast Ball, and Marc is too young to die so he grabbed himself a copy of Doom to murder

Kyle just ran through the Delta Episode for his second time while Joe struggles to hatch the Unown.

This week, Joe, Marc, and Kyle talk about weird neighbors, bleeding ankles, and weird monsters that are crawling in the streets. We decided to save the Pokémon GO conversation until the second half of the show, and spent the first half discussing the other games we've been playing and some of the other topics that have piqued our interest this week. Joe gave A Boy and His Blob

Marc goes on a boat while Joe goes on a tangent. On this week's episode, Marc finally gets into the head of Psychonauts and bounces his way to the beat in Crypt of the Necrodancer. We discuss the logistics of crowdfunding games and how game financing has changed how developers are creating what we play. Joe tries to make sense of A Boy and His Blob but instead joins Marc in Shovel Knight co-op and the Plague of Shadows expansion. Pokémon GO launches in the middle of our recording but we are unable
