Q&A (Part 2)

2024/12/20

This is Part 2 of the same night.If you listen closely you can hear the exact moment where McCoy's "2" beers hit and he becomes not sober. Then we deliberate about whether or not we should go to bed and then we go to bed. Episode 2 From ben via email: Ever been tempted by a Half Life/ Orange Box week? Which one of you, if any, has a beautiful luxurious beard? Or is it, as I suspect, that there is a communal beard that you share in rotation every week. From James via email: What is the

Hello everyone! Our Q&A is finally here! A big warm thank you to all who submitted questions. It really does mean the world to us. For the very astute among us, you may notice a couple things right away: 1) This is a Part 1. We have been known to take our time with our responses to things. And that is on display here. 2) We did not get to every question. Contrary to Zoe's declaration. Even on the upcoming Part 2. So be on the lookout for a follow up, to the follow up. When will this be? That

Reminder! Q&A next week, you know for James. Come out and support J.$ with a question so he can focus on finals, and if you write in via tyrannyofthumbs@gmail.com then you will receive a patented "🙏" at some random time, probably.Editor's Note: So it turns out that our titles must be 5 characters long and Neva is 4... I thought about "Neva!" but I'm gunna instead try to pull off "Neva " so if that messes things up I'm deeply sorry. Edit on Edit: That didn't work. Oh no. I'm consulting

Now this game is something like you've never seen before. What an absolute banger out of nowhere. MUST PLAY IF YOU LIKE ARTSY BS.If you don't know what this game is, the trailer will help you be correctly confused (but intrigued) as to what this game is. Many tracks are really interesting on the soundtrack but here is one McCoy's been Jamming on. It's like Dark Trap music. Here is one Zoe linked and said it's just odd this is part of the game.

We finally dive into the long-awaited Elden Ring DLC and boy do we have a variety of experiences. Did you know that Gabe plays this game on NG+7? Holy mother of god. He gives some advice on whether or not he thinks that's a good call (Spoilers: He does not).We also talk a bit about the community reaction, which while it started off incredibly positive has fallen to "mixed" in the one week since launch.

Re-Release - Dear Esther or Control?

The Tyranny of Thumbs ·

2024/06/19

The podcast today starts with a conundrum:What podcast to Re-Release this week between Control and Dear Esther? Starting off you get a reflective contemplative editor McCoy trying to solve that problem live on air. He comes in a little "I got this" and ends "Ok, I got a bit humbled and I totally didn't have this". It's a nice journey that ends up delivering some presence, some value, some stories, and overall just proves Editor McCoy deserves his own podcast. Also, forgive the audio quality, you

Senua's Saga: Hellblade II

2024/06/12

The long-awaited sequel to Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is finally here and we've re-released enough content to figure out how to align our schedules and lives to play it together. Join us for a rather illuminating discussion of the themes of this game, that at least I can say, leveled me up a lot compared to when I had just finished it and was sorta wondering what the heck was going on.Also, editor McCoy, who essentially barely existed before the re-release era, is now sad as he looks ahead and

Re-Release - Elden Ring (Seamless Coop)

The Tyranny of Thumbs ·

2024/06/05

Editor McCoy takes a backseat to a busy life this week and mostly gets out of the way for an awesome Re-Release of Elden Ring's Seamless Coop Mod. If you like Elden Ring, you've got to at least hear what this mod had to offer. I can't begin to explain how impactful on our entire crew this was.Also, just a kind note to those playing or planning to play Senua's Saga II. The opening to that game is intense so be sure to give yourself time before bed. I know I wasn't sleeping after that. Yikes.
