Every time we can round up a couple of games, we're going to do a Lovecraft special. In this episode, Nick and Gary talk about Euclidean and The Consuming Shadow. It's a shorter episode but we're back in 2 weeks with a whole episode on Enter the Gungeon.
A quick vacation to the year 20XX before vacationing again on Pony Island. Then a quick vacation in Ranttown.
Nick and Gary look at the most innovative shooter they've played in years and a worthy successor to Portal.
Disappointment goes around and around in this episode of Check It Out, Comrade! as Nick and Gary discuss a Dark Souls clone and a highly anticipated walking sim.
Nick and Gary dig into another attempt to make a 3D FPS Isaac and touch base with a game that's about a few too many things.
Nick and Gary are back, baby. Is it ok if I call you baby? You are a baby reading this, right? We also discuss Underrail and Downwell. We're happy to be back!
Gary and Nick take a look back at 50 episodes of indie game coverage, and talk about what's in store for the next season.
It's time to go in-depth on Frictional's followup to Amnesia... Does it live up to Gary and Nick's expectations?
Is it great when two solo projects somehow give insight on the original collaboration? That's what we have here as The Stanley Parable is split into Head and Heart versus HaHa.
Edmund doesn't fuck around with new content. Each time he's decided to update this game, it's been delightful and voluminous. Listen to Nick and Gary explain what the expansion brings, why it's neat and why you should Check It Out!
Nick Glauber and Gary Butterfield, "Get off my dick about Undertale."
Nick and Gary hack into Shadowrun: Hong Kong. It's slightly worse than Dragonfall but that's like saying 9 dollars is slightly worse than 10 dollars. You should definitely play this one. As a quick admin note, we're going on a brief hiatus while Gary deals with some blood curdling real life shit. We'll be back for Rebirth (at the latest!).
Super Time Force is right up our alley. But this episode is about new directions for the show as we tackle an unreleased Sonic game.
Nick and Gary get Fingered, then take on Rocket League. Two games marked by their simplicity but so different in terms of depth.
A narrative heavy game with a very original interface and a deck building roguelike hybrid this week. Big ups to both! Note: the devs for Guild of Dungeoneering gave us review copies.
Couch co-op is not dead so put away your thinkpiece! Nick and Gary and Brayton play some Towerfall and Duck Game. Check out www.youtube.com/watchoutforfireballs for video!
It's a triple feature! Nick was kind enough not to make me play TIS-100. So, it's filthy casual game chat for a while before Nick talks about the newest entry in his niche of niches.
The years of golden CRPG gaming continue with this amazing Kickstarter offering. Nick and Gary finally weigh in on Pillars of Eternity and, fuck yes, is it special.
It's a discussion of that special thing that makes a game click as Nick and Gary discuss Axiom Verge and Year Walk.
Nick and Gary get mutated with Nuclear Throne and throw our brains against Infinifactory. These two games are neither A) Dark or B) Despised! Hooray! Nick and Gary take a crack at Infinifactory and Nuclear Throne.
Nick and Gary examine some games from yesteryear, literally. It's a break from our grimdark leanings and crankiness from last episode, though not without some crank.
Nick and Gary roll up on A Good Snowman is Hard to Build and Jazzpunk. It's hard to find a pair of games that left us so "meh" but here we are. Listen for details.
Nick Glauber and Gary Butterfield discuss Castle in the Darkness and Tonight Dies the Moon.
Nick and Gary take a shot at Hotline Miami 2 (it's actually good, fuck the haters) and get dank up in Dankest Dungeon.
In this episode, Nick and Gary discuss Sunless Sea and The Last Door. I'd call this our Lovecraft special but it's not like we're not going to do a thousand more Lovecraft-y games. This is one of the best batting averages we've had.
Oh Double Fine. How much do we want to love you? Why can we only seem to love you about half of the time? Nick and Gary take a look at Hack 'N' Slash and Massive Chalice. One game that will live on in our hearts, one that will live in infamy.
Nick and Gary take a hard look at a cyberpunk thriller and a sensitive meditation on the future, both done in the medium of Twine. Plenty of ranting within! Here are the games: POWERCYCLES: http://noncanon.com/2015/PowerCycles.html Tea Leaves: http://navistudios.net/tealeaves/ Thanks to Tom and Davin, the respective creators of these neat, inspiring things.
In our "L" special, we talk about a game of pure mechanics and then about a game where the mechanics that both enforce and detract from the narrative. Check it out!
Special guest Brayton Cameron joins Nick and Gary to talk about a coupla duds with a lot to recommend about them. Check out these duds! Also, check out Teenage Dirtbags, also on the network.
We're joined by Kole Ross from something or other to talk about two violent games. The "title of the year" nominee Doorkickers and the affecting This War of Mine.
