Tuesday Jun 27, 2023
Matt, Hunter, and the Sanders Not-Brothers have been sailing the Sea of Thieves and are here to regale you with their stories of plunder, piracy, and partying with buds. What makes a good multiplayer session? Does the game NEED to be good? Or are stupid games with stupid friends good enough?

Fallout 2 (1998) [w/ Justin Keenan]
Tuesday Jun 20, 2023
Tuesday Jun 20, 2023
One of the biggest games of this season required an expert. To talk about the huge, dialogue-driven computer RPG Fallout 2, we got the help of ZA/UM writer and narrative designer Justin Keenan! Our #1 game, Disco Elysium, certainly has a lot of the DNA of games like Fallout 2, but are these old RPGs TOO MEAN to stand up to today's perhaps more inviting entries? Also, the Fallout universe stands alone in terms of style and tone, so that has to count for something!

Half-Life (1998)
Tuesday Jun 13, 2023
Tuesday Jun 13, 2023
We're knee deep in our 90's PC Game season: Now That's What I Call PC Games, but today also feels like a sort of conclusion of a trilogy. You can draw a direct line from Doom, through Quake, and end up at Half-Life and tell a complete story, and today we finish that story. Valve changed the way many people think about story in games and "immersion," but how does it feel to return to that sense of mind 25 years later? Also why aren't Valve games good on Valve's Steam Deck??

Tchia (2023)
Tuesday Jun 06, 2023
Tuesday Jun 06, 2023
An episode we promised for this season was an undetermined "Indie Game of the Moment," which was our way of waiting around until one of those Indie Games shows up that no one can stop talking about. Tchia isn't really that game, but it IS the indie game Matt most wanted to play and talk about. So come learn about New Caledonia with us and just chill out for a while, mmkay?

Hunter has the week off while we bring in EJ to talk about the family friendly murder simulator Roller Coaster Tycoon. This game has it all: Windows '95 window layouts, Excel spreadsheets, 2d graphics, and theme park patrons drowning to death! Is it the greatest simulation game ever made?

Final Fantasy 7: Remake (2020)

Tuesday May 16, 2023
We've returned again to the fertile ground of Final Fantasy 7. In the past, we have covered the original with mixed feelings between our hosts, but today we offer a unite front. Final Fantasy 7 Remake is a good video game, a cool idea, and an important thing. At least for now, until they make it's sequel and completely botch the whole idea...
