An important tradition

2024/05/24

As has been custom on the Chamberlain Chance and Alex podcast, it is time to through shade at Hellblade. Hellblade 2 is out, and just like last time, everyone is wrong but us. The game is bad and Ninja Theory should feel bad. Also this week, Alex finished what is currently available of Hades 2 before jumping back into Diablo 4 and finding things much nicer than the last time around. And Chance continues to make new characters in Fallout 4, stopping just long enough to try out Cookie Cutter.

We have reached an end of an era. Microsoft has finally done something so heinous that even Chamberlain refuses to defend it. Pour one out for Tango Gameworks. Also this week, Chance has to buy a new PS5 to remove a Fallout 4 mod (almost). Alex begins the multi-year process of playing early access Hades 2. And Chamberlain finds emotional fulfillment in a AA game that no one else played.

It's all Fallout, all of the time, unless it is still post-revolutionary war America and Chamberlain is still busting ghosts with a surprisingly effective sword and solid Scottish accent. Chance and Alex are both thousands of years past that, just not is the same place, with one in Fallout 4 and the other in New Vegas. You know which is which. Also this week, a frank discussion on the merits of Zach Snyder and why normal shaped middle age men are not often featured in sex scenes.

Except for Brotherhood of Steel, but we won't talk about that.The Fallout love fest continues, with Chance and Alex making impassioned cases to Chamberlain that he should obtain a Prime subscription. He will not. He will instead continue on with the flawed but affable Banishers. Alex has deserted Dragons Dogma 2 for Fallout New Vegas (along with just about everybody else) and Chance is still killing every cyclops that crosses his path.

Alex has fallen victim to Chance's hype over Dragons Dogma 2, purchased it, and proclaimed it 'ok.' Chance is appalled and is taking revenge by continuing to enjoy the game he was already enjoying, only now out of spite, which makes everything better. Alex has also declared the Fallout series worth your time and done so without the spoilers that Chamberlain lives for. And Chamberlain has started Banishers, the best ghost busting anything to come out for a long damn time.

Chance has finished up Dragons Dogma 2 and immediately turned around and starting playing it again, something that not even Spider-Man 2 managed to illicit. It's that good. Alex started playing Citizen Sleeper, remember a better game, and finally finished I Was a Teenage Exocolonist instead. And Chamberlain played a bunch of little games while in recovery from FFVII Rebirth, including the best walking sim in a while, Return to Grace. Oh, and he bought Belatro, so that is how he lives now.

The lost episode

2024/03/29

(yes, the title is an HTML joke based on the episode number, nerd)Alex continues to reject all things new in favor of games that run great on the Steam deck. This week it is Days Gone, that other open world zombie game. You know, the one with the bikers. Chamberlain was going to come prepared with a full game breakdown of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth but came up one hit shy on the final boss, triggering a very small tantrum followed by a nap. And Chance has space in his heart for Dragons Dogma II,

Despite there being literally too many new games to play Alex has decided to dive way, way back into his backlog and sample a game he missed the first time around: Devil May Cry 2. He makes no promise of finishing it, but he did try to make Dante do things. Chance tries to enjoy Unicorn Overload, fails, and runs back to Elden Ring. And Chamberlain still has not finished Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. It's weird, he still loves it, and there are a few mild spoilers.

While not technically a holiday (at least in the western hemisphere) the release of a new Final Fantasy game is almost always cause for celebration. Or usually. Or sometimes. Okay, once in a while a good Final Fantasy game comes out. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is one of the good ones and Chamberlain is thrilled. Also this week, Alex puts an incredible amount of time into Balatro and Chance has maxed out another character in Elden Ring while preparing for the expansion, stopped playing her, and may

You would never guess why, but two thirds of the podcast is playing Elden Ring again. Alex has joined the Balatro card cult, and he is playing Elden Ring. Chance continues to do his part to spread democracy throughout the known universe, and he is playing Elden Ring. And Chamberlain finished up Prince of Persia The Lost Crown, and he has never nor will he ever play Elden Ring.

Top 4 Games OF ALL TIME

Chamberlain and Chance ·

2024/02/23

Important work is done this week. Chamberlain, Chance and Alex each pick their top four games OF ALL TIME. Each brings their own criteria for selection and no one names more than four games. No one at all. Also this week, Chamberlain continues to shill for Ubisoft, swearing up and down that Prince of Persia The Lost Crown is actually good. Alex finishes up Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth, understanding as much as humanly possible without have played all the previous Yakuza games. And Chance tries to

Chance is doing his part, killing giant insects with democracy. He promises that it is exactly as good as you have heard. Alex crowns Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth one of the three best JRPGs he has ever played (without encouraging debate on what the other two are). And Chamberlain looks past the amazing environments of Avatar and finds that there just isn't anything to do.

Three new games? Amazing!

2024/02/09

In an unprecedented turn of events, all three of us play (relatively) new games! Alex in not skipping the cut scenes in Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth, loving the good natured Japanese mafia and all the good that they do. Chance is mourning the tragedy that is Suicide Squad, specifically that it is only when you are pushing buttons that it gets boring. And Chamberlain visited Pandora in the new Avatar game for about two hours before the siren's song that is Tekken 8 proved too strong. We

It wasn't really a soulslike, but Chamberlain is still proud of himself for finishing The Last Faith. He is less proud of himself for buying Tekken 8, not because it was a bad game, but he is not looking forward to patching the drywall again. Chance finished The Last of Us Part II, and it is just as if not more emotionally draining as the first time, leading to a swift uninstall. And Alex to the financially responsible route and is replaying Dark Souls III again, this time with his eyes

Something old, something new, nothing borrowed...

2024/01/27

Chamberlain continues to play new(ish) things, finishing up El Paso, Elsewhere, a game everyone slept and missed out on, and The Last Faith, another overly difficult metroidvania. Chance plays a new version of something old, finding a new appreciation for The Last of Us 2. And Alex plays an older new version of something old, revisiting Persona 4 Golden. Because he still loves Chie.

What's indy as all get out, ugly as your favorite tiktok dog and a blatant homage to Max Payne? El Paso, Elsewhere, and Chamberlain is absolutely in love. Chance refuses to sully his eyes with games built of so few polygons so he is playing Baldur's Gate 3, again, and Cyberpunk 2033, again. And Alex lost his save file for Inscryption, then instead of getting mad about it, played the whole thing a second time.Also, it's cold everywhere, and we wish it would stop doing that.

It's the first episode of the year! In which Chamberlain meets two games half way and enjoys them in spite of their obvious weaknesses. Chance buys Baldur's Gate III for the second time and starts a new character in Cyberpunk for the 100th and Alex does something absolutely unthinkable: he finishes an Assassin's Creed game.

There is nothing left to do in 2023 but catch up on missed games and worry about how few games are slated for 2024. Chamberlain got into the Skull & Bones closed beta and can confirm that it is indeed a game that can be played. He also enjoyed the free Valhalla expansion to God of War Ragnarök more than expected and Super Mario Wonder about the correct amount. Chance is still grinding away in Diablo 4 for gear he doesn't want and/or need and is frankly annoyed by his own persistence. And

Games of the year 2023

Chamberlain and Chance ·

2023/12/15

Yes, this is another game of the year list show. Ours is better. Why? No sponsorships, no external money at all, and very few, if any, fucks given. No Keighley, no Kojima, Alan Wake 2 gets nothing and Spider-Man 2 does not get ignored. It is also less then half the length of the Game Awards, so much more respectful of your time.

2023/12/08

You heard us. (Recorded during the first hour of The Game Awards, so be prepared for random outbursts, mostly by Chamberlain) Different things satisfy different people. The Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer more than sated Chance's and Alex's desire for open world, booty filled ultra-violence but Chamberlain was left out in the cold. Chamberlain finds happiness in a game that could have easily come out ten years ago: Stray Blade. Alex and Chance are playing Diablo 4, but for different reasons, but
