Episode 167: Neverending Psychic Nightmare [Psychonauts]


Gather your wits and steel your mind.  We're going in!  Another game Tim Schafer was involved in (maybe a bit more heavily since he was directing instead of writing), this one's a bit of a trip.  Come join us for some off color humor, strange visuals and... existing gameplay and storytelling.



To know your opponent's mind is to know their download.


Show Notes

* Disclaimer:  We had a lot of problems finishing this episode off because computers apparently hated us the last couple of weeks.  The ending is a bit abrupt because we lost the audio.  Twice.  Sorry for the mess! *

(04:30) RWBY vs. Twilight.

(08:00) Sentinels of Steam!  It automates some of the tedium of the card game.  That doesn't sound like a ringing endorsement, but it's really a fun game, we swear.

(12:45) Gameroom sure looks like a thing.

(17:00) I feel like brotherhood in Sonic games really shouldn't be dark.

(20:00) Doom is doomed to be great.

(22:45) Carl Gauss was such a badass.  Look at that smirk!

(27:30) Anaconda.

(38:00) There are a lot of interesting characters, but maybe too many.  Here's the opening cutscene for y'all.  Anyone out there like Raz much?

(42:00) Power progression and incentives.

(51:00) While the Meat Circus is much reviled, the only part I found super annoying was this every 15 seconds.

(56:00) Podcast dies.  Also, the game got ranked!

Episode 166: Three Dragons Aren't Better than Two [Double Dragon 3: The Sacred Stones]


Never before have Bimmy and Jimmy™ been capable of such great flying throws.  Be in awe of their ability to... be hit from slightly above, but be unable to throw a punch diagonally, so then you get stunlocked and...  Anyway, the two dragon warriors are at it again to save their apparently not dead girlfriend from the clutches of some sort of crime boss.  Also, to avenge their master.  Sadly, jumpkicking remains the best available strategy.



Triple the double download!
