38: Adjust Your Flaps

Posted on Written by Leave a Comment

Like a cat in a bag, waiting to drown, here we are again. Lucky, lucky you, as this time we’re even longer (and thicker) than usual. Or unlucky you, I suppose.

In Episode 38 of our humble Video Game Podcast, deKay, Kendrick, Luffer and Jaimie (with two eyes) tell you all the many things about the Xbox Game Pass Showcase thing, the Nintendo leaks thing, the Microsoft Flight Simulator thing, and some Phantasy Star Online thing. Things, basically. Plus there’s sweltering game chattage involving these fine (or not fine) titles:

  • Animal Crossing
  • Monster Hunter World
  • God Eater 3
  • Afrika
  • Nioh 2
  • Streets of Rage 4
  • Carrion
  • Paper Mario: The Origami King
  • Baba is You
  • Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
  • Dynamite Headdy

And if that wasn’t enough to make you melt like ice cream in a microwave, there’s Linux chat and listener questions! Linux chat, folks. Linux chat.

37: Massive White Waffle Iron

You know the drill by now. We talk about games for a while and then we stop talking about games for a while. It’s not complicated. And we’ve now done that 37 times. You’d think someone would make us stop, but no!

In this episode, deKay, Luffer, Choobs and DrunkZo do the video game talking. Which just so happens to cover the PS5 reveal we cleverly avoided last time round, the Sega Astro-City Mini arcade thingy, Nintendo’s decision to stop shops selling first party digital game codes, and for some reason playing games on Linux and because we just didn’t know how to not do so, chat about Apple’s new hardware. And! Video! Games!

  • The Last of Us
  • The Last of Us 2: Last Harder
  • The Outer Worlds
  • Yakuza 0
  • Behold the Kickmen
  • Batman Arkham Asylum
  • Elite Dangerous
  • Dwarf Fortress
  • Animal Crossing
  • Doki Doki Literature Club
  • Mr Driller DrillLand
  • XCOM: Enemy Unknown

And some questions! From you! And you! And bah-bah-bah! (Sorry, Zo mentioned Jimmy Saville at one point).

iOS/Switch Update

Posted on Written by

Apart from the PS4 I play my iPad quite a lot, in fact, more than my Switch.
I have updated my Play & Completion section with recent iOS titles.

With iOS the majority of games are never-ending you just keep on playing because there is always new updates, more levels or new events. Games that I have stopped playing I will add to my completion list for example like Clash Royale or State of Survival where I have played in excess of 50 hours plus on each!

So what am I playing currently?
Poker Showdown is my current favourite it is a western style rpg where you use poker hands to do battle reminds me a lot of the great Sword & Poker games.

Motorsport Manager Online, Township, Boom Beach, Score Hero, 8 Ball Pool & Mini Metro are my quick five minute fix games that I tend to play most days.

On the Switch I have been enjoying a fair bit of Mario Tennis & Ring Fit Adventure.

The Outer Worlds (PS4) – Completed

Posted on Written by

Feels like a fallout game but so much better with the different planets you can visit & the many characters in the game. Each quest has a good story to follow and always ensures you meet some surprises along the way. There are six companions in the game but you will quickly find the two you like for me that was Parvati & Ellie.

It has a fallout style opening in which you wake up from a hibernation chamber & begin a quest for Doctor Welles. The main questline could have been slightly longer but leaves it with an ending that is sure to have a sequel. There are many side quests, tasks & companion quests to complete.

Here's hoping that the sequel is not an xbox exclusive.

Next to play something a little shorter in Concrete Genie.
