Episode 173: Rock, Paper, Helicopter [Advance Wars]

Of course, the big guy makes melee guns hit harder, what else would he do? And that guy constantly making verbal snipes? He's also adept at making physical snipes... transitively through his units. Obviously. Enter the world of wars that seem to be progressing, or maybe proceeding. On the square grid of conflict, only one quirky character can triumph!

Show Notes

(01:30) Over the Garden Wall is great, and that's a rock fact!

(09:00) The Joker and Trump.

(09:30) Eh, it's better than dying of ennui.

(27:30) Not strictly Atlus, but Disgaea 2 is on Steam now. Also, more Frog Fractions, now with more fairies.

(29:30) A mostly functional RTS about the history of Egypt.

(31:30) Wars that are advanced may include tanks.

(37:00) CO powers sound like that.

(41:30) You're a Chinook. Your mom's a Chinook!

(49:00) CO is obviously the highest rank, and so is this game?!

Episode 161: Kill the Cows [Lords of the Realm II]

Never before has an RTS been so attached to a turn-based resource management system. We have, of course, seen the opposite, but this has a lot more... swords? Everyone likes swords, so we can promise that this game will definitely be cool. Farm meat and wheat, feed peasants, conscript and tax the daylights out of them, and make yourself some sort of proprietor of a large chunk of land!

Feed downloads to the peasantry for more troops.

Show Notes

(04:30) Survive's trailer at least seems pretty Kojima. Also, spoilers about Tyler's adventures, it was literally just one more mission. Speaking of voyeur showers, you can apparently smell awful...

(08:00) Some Hideo-PA.

(08:10) Clarification: Absol's face is too human.

(15:00) Space Hulk: Deathwing, new and FPSy.

(18:30) VNCreator! Can you make one better than that pigeon one?

(21:30) Cinematic magic.

(32:00) So many problems with the combat.

(41:30) Strategic ranks.

Next time on Last Time, Mario Golf!

Power... SHOT!
