Welcome to the renamed Playlist Podcast! That name? Not very good. This one? Better. And what better way to inaugurate the new name than by expanding our scope as well? We have our games coverage- Six is talking Neon White, as is a lot of the internet lately, while Jen has brought Card Shark, a game by the developers of Reigns that has our cast a bit divided. But we're not just doing games anymore, as Kyrie has brought the Indian action film RRR to the table as well. Our intro music is 8bit 23

It's another month, and we're back to talk about more of what we've been playing lately! Jen is indulging in her FMV love with The Centennial Case: A Shijima Story, a Japanese mystery game from the writer of 428: Shibuya Scramble. It's less wacky comedy than Shibuya, however, focused more on Japanese history and classic mysteries. Kyrie is happy to revisit Chrono Cross, one of the games from her youth that left a big impression. It isn't the world's greatest port, but it's still a reminder of this

CONTENT WARNING: Non-graphic but emotionally charged discussion of fictional violence, abuse between partners, sexual abuse, and familial abuse, as well as trauma that stems from the above. At a patron's request, we checked out a visual novel neither of us had ever heard of, called Ochitsubaki. It's a quick playthrough, clocking in at 60 to 90 minutes based on your reading speed. We couldn't have anticipated the strength of its writing, and how hard it would hit us. If you want to find us on

March is behind us, and thus, the really busy season of game releases also relents. It's that end of fiscal quarter that's so killer, isn't it? Six is here to talk about the often-misunderstood Sifu, Kyrie is ready to talk about the new Kirby, and Jen has found things to love in Ghostwire: Tokyo where other critics haven't. Our intro music is 8bit 23 from Demon Souls, a Japanese royalty free music site.

Gran Turismo 7 Roundtable

2022/03/20

Do you like... my car? Forza Horizon 5 left Jen and Six feeling surprisingly lukewarm, and most of the time that would be the story of racing games for the time being. After all, Need For Speed has been a mess for years, and while Jen likes more serious racing games like DiRT, they're beyond Six's ken. But what is this? The elusive Polyphony Digital have put out their first fully featured Gran Turismo in almost a decade? Well we GOTTA talk about that. If you want to find us on Twitter, Jen is

Remasters. Remakes. Whatever you want to call them, they are here to stay. The PS3/360 generation poked its foot in the door with these, and now they live here. I have pretty mixed feelings about them, to be honest. But definitely some of them are worth celebrating, and we'd like to talk about those. The Nominees Are: Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne HD Death Stranding: Director’s Cut The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles Ninja Gaiden Collection Scott Pilgrim Vs The World: The Game - Complete

You could also call this Best Old Game, if you hated being pithy and also wanted to insult these games. But in any year, MOST of the games we play aren't from that year. They're from years previous, sometimes many years previous. Of these, which ones defined our 2021? The Nominees Are: Under Night In-Birth Exe:Late [cl-r] Fist of the North Star: Lost Paradise Yu-Gi-Oh!

Gimmick Awards 2021 – Yaku of the Year Podcast

Scanline Talks ·

2022/02/11

The difference between Chinese and Japanese, aka "Riichi" mahjong, is the concept of the Yaku. Basically, it's a bunch of special forms your hand can take that allow you to call a win, and give you extra points. As a bunch of newbies to the scene, we have strong feelings about which ones are best. So Nick is gonna join us to figure it out.

Gimmick Awards 2021 – Best DLC/Add-on Podcast

Scanline Talks ·

2022/02/10

There are a lot of bad things about the way technology has allowed games to be changed. Gacha mechanics. Live service hellscapes. Free to play torture. Patching out things that are fun because they're not what the devs "intended." But also? There's DLC, or other add-ons. And sometimes those add-ons really freakin good. Let's celebrate the ones that are. The Nominees Are: Patch 1.28 (DragonBall FighterZ) Washizu Mahjong/Darkness Mahjong (Mahjong Soul) Title Updates (Monster Hunter Rise) FEATURING

We're pretty heavily invested in good writing in games around here. This also leads to a love of a well-written and rendered character. But we're also kinda queer dopes, so sometimes we just love a handsome boy. Listen, people be containing multitudes.

Lady Dimitrescu (Resident Evil Village) Nagi Usui (NEO The World Ends With You) Nahobino (Shin Megami Tensei V) Rivet (Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart) Herlock

2022/02/08

When you start streaming, you quickly learn that there is a difference between a game that's good and a game that's good to stream. Certainly, lots of good games also stream well. But when you try streaming one of your favs and realize it's no fun to watch, that's an eye-opening moment. The games on this list are not going to be nominated for any other category, but when we streamed them in 2021, we had a hell of a good time. The Nominees Are: Lifeline Drakengard Hardspace:
