We have a brief look back at our year in lockdown, and start with an apology for last podcast.
Skazz talks about the latest released Monster Hunter game, Monster Hunter Rise. Despite being a based on the more modern 'casual' mechanical style of Monster Hunter. Skazz has been enjoying it none the less. he talks about the mechanics changes including the introduction of a more advanced grappling hook seen in previous games, and riding monsters
TheSuffolkRam has been playing an interesting short game with Stories Untold. four short episodes base on text adventure, lab testing and using a microfiche to solve puzzles.
Ram has watching two shows with a similar theme, people who are immortal and cannot be killed. First off with The Old Guard. Netflix's take on the idea with a small group of superhero style mercenary on the run from people trying to learn the abilities. Then with a Japanese Anime called Ajin: Demi Human. also featuring people discovering there ability's and having to hide from the movement, and a group who decide to fight back
We also discuss audiobook hosting and skazz's data hording and our choice of head phones. We also talk about why its not a bad thing to male games unfair.
Notes:
The next entry in the modern style Monster Hunter series, Monster Hunter: Rise
A neat little 2hr puzzle game with Stories Untold
A slighly naff live action film based on people who cannot die in The Old Guard
The Japanese take on the above, an Interesting series but shows the problem with immortality as a story point in Ajin: Demi Human
