They killed Marlow Briggs on the wrong day with the wrong scythe. So an ancient Incan god king has revived him as a spirit of vengeance, Captain Planet-like! This game is actually competent, so we spend time talking about how the only reasonable way to spend money if you're a billionaire is to restore your hometown to exactly the way it was when you were ten.

You have never heard of this movie, and we're going to fix that. Beta Test supposes a world where a gamer can control a living person, who sends back convincing enough footage to make that gamer unaware that they're doing more than playing a game. So the most famous beta tester who ever lives is tricked into controlling a fighty fight guy through a horrible killing spree in order to... and I'm not kidding here... justify gun control laws. It's baffling and distasteful!

What a big game! This is part two of our coverage of an expansive and masterful CRPG, Divinity: Original Sin 2. We pick up with Act 2, as we land on the Reaper's Coast and set about learning the ways of the Godwoken. We continue through to the end of the game, covering a frankly unreasonable amount of content in our quest to learn the secrets of the Veil. Support Watch Out for Fireballs!

Truth time: Buffy is a blind spot for us. Both of us were watching different things in the 90s, and sometimes it's just too hard to go back to something from that era if you don't have any nostalgia for it. This first Buffy game is an anemic GBC brawler, so instead we talk about our newest supernatural villain: the incompetent Frankenstein.

No one listens to more podcasts than the man with many cheeses. In this crunchy, and charismatic CRPG, you play as the godwoken, someone with the potential to ascend to the divine. Somewhat standard fantasy tropes are enhanced by charming characters, beautiful music, and best in genre tactical gameplay. Listen here as we cover the beefy generalities and Act 1. Thank you to Jonathan! Support Watch Out for Fireballs!

Jala and Kole continue their informal visual novel discussion series with a classic in the genre. The format of this episode mirrors a WOFF! episode, as we talk about the generalities of mechanics first, and then get into spoiler territory. Phoenix Wright is an upstart attorney who always believes in his clients, no matter what. This first entry in the series establishes a lot of conventions for how to mix visual novel story presentation with adventure game puzzles, and we couldn't have a series...

If we all stick together, we can get through this one. It's... not great. The Ventures crash land into Ünterland, the apocalyptic domain of Baron Ünderbheit.

William Shatner's magnum opus spans nine books, a theatrical release, a television show, and several TV movies, and you probably only know it from an offhand joke on the Simpsons. It's cyberpunk without the punk, where a digital drug named Tek is the scourge of the streets. In the game, you play as a Tek addict turned narc agent who has to hunt down dealers in awkward first person shooter combat. After all, the kids need to learn about TekWar sooner or later.

This episode begins a short run of the show where we share good horror movies with each other. First up is "Sorry to Bother You", written and directed by Boots Riley. Though it doesn't bill itself as a horror movie, we make the argument that it has many of the hallmarks: it features a character who is unwittingly in the hands of a destructive force that he is unable to stop. It features dread and fear of the erasure of the body and the will. It's also funny, and a critique of capitalism, but tha...
