Cops come and try to steal my crops

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.

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

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

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.
