Inscryption (2021) Part 2: Did You Watch Lost?

Infinite Cities ·

2024/06/06

Hello Daniel Mullins. I know you are reading this. You have fallen into my trap, the trap of episode descriptions. Here, you will.. uh... one second. I'm getting from my producer that I've done a fourth-wall-break ep description before? And it's, quote, "not nearly as fun the third time". Hmm. I'm sure that's not relevant to my favorite fantastically balanced horror roguelike deckbuilder set in a spooky cabin! I love that good ol' card game. What's that? Sorry, I'm hearing from my producer again..

2024/05/16

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Taco De Mayo 4ever after! If you missed it, we took a second run down King of the Castle, a very excellent stream / party / role-playing(?) game where one person (Feather) got to rule a kingdom with an iron throne while a bunch of wretched losers (Karp, Gary, Will, and friends) all tried to harsh her vibes and ruin her chance at wonderful tyranny. Anyway, it's a good game, and good games are what we do here! So we're sitting down to talk about it! In this

TERMINAL IC39 - RESTRICTED ACCESS [SECURITY LEVEL 1] >>QUERY(COGMIND) Hot dang, Feather's writing the episode description and that means she gets to talk about how great this game is. So great, she procrastinated editing this episode to play more cogmind. Nevermind she procrastinated editing the last episode to play cogmind. What other game makes sensors so fun? How is rolling up on some dudes with quad rocket launchers both incredibly powerful and impeccably risky? Should I risk this entire run on

Spiritfarer (2020) Part 1: Is It Wet When You Hug...

Infinite Cities ·

2024/04/18

Spiritfarer is an adorable little game, that on first inspection, looks like a fun, cozy little friend-em-up like Stardew Valley and friends. This is a lie. Spiritfarer is actually a coldly calculated trap, designed to lure you into making friends with friendly, interesting, deep characters explicitly so it can take them away from you, and then remind you what you've lost. The hug button isn't a cute fun thing - it's a necessity. Content warning: discussion of death and loss, spoilers for the

April fool's is Shrek season. I'm not sure why, I didn't make the rules. It came to me in a dream. April first is when you Shrek, ok? You Shrek. Tradition is important. This is an April fool's episode. The episode is not the April fool's prank. It's a relatively unhinged, but still ICB, minisode with Will and Feather. The April fools are Will and Feather, who played this game, and especially Feather, who played a lot of this game. Relatively speaking. On April first. And then Will went entirely AWOL

This is it - the high water mark of a once-great franchise, the twenty-second game out of twenty-two Mega Men, not counting the many, many, many, many spin-offs. Past this point, just about everything got packed up and cancelled. What happened? Did Keiji Inafune sleep with someone's wife? Or did it just play out the same old tricks over and over, until a few half-hearted attempts to shake things up just felt awkward and sad? Let's find out!

Is this it? Did we find a game that everyone enjoyed (minus Gary, who wasn't present for the recording)? Or is it just that building a town is fun for the first 2 hours, every time? Join us as we untangle why Against the Storm might be the perfect cozy game for three of us. In this episode: Warcraft 3 is retro, it's (not) Rain World, Mario Kart rubberbanding, 3x speed vs 1x speed, sucking up bricks, Dwarves/beavers, city-builder boss fights, Aunt Lore-i. ~shoutout zone~ blame Feather for this ~~~

Retro Hardware - How Do I Get Out Of This Pit?

Infinite Cities ·

2024/02/08

Maybe it's because Feather's PC is nearly old enough to qualify as retro, or maybe it's because Against The Storm reminds us of PCs classics like Warcraft 3, or maybe it's just because Will, Karp, and Feather are all retro hardware nerds, but whatever the case - we're talking through the history of video game consoles, starting from the very beginning! In this episode: play pitfall I guess, more bits means more better, we get stuck in pits repeatedly for our own edification, ironically I enjoyed ET
