It's should be no surprise to our listeners that RPGs are our thing. But Metaphor has completely blown us away on all levels. From the rich story to the deep mechanics and job like system it has captured our attention. Instead of flooding our feed with more Metaphor we decided to do a full spoiler free episode for you all.

The evolution of free to play games has changed drastically over the years. From gotcha games, to live service there are different styles out there that try to tap into our lizard brain and keep us playing or buying any random cosmetic that gets dropped. But there are some titles out there that tend to rub the fan base the wrong way, like server wipes every season with Once Human.

Happy Halloween! It's the spooky season and we have some great games for you. The genre of horror is so vast and really has something for everyone. With so many remakes out there it just makes sense that a classic like Silent Hill 2 sees a new audience. Or dive into delivery madness with Mouthwashing. Or are you looking for a real vibe? Why not try out the atmospheric horror of Stories Untold.

Chris chats about a new city builder with Manor Lords. Ever wanted to start your medieval city? Well now you can with this one. Flowstone Saga shows a new mash up to make some very interesting combat systems using tetris to fight in this new rpg. And Metaphor feels like a game we will be talking about for quite some time because there is just so much to love about this one. To tie it all up we have some movie for the spooky season to recommend to you too!

Hello Cubies! This is a blast from our past here with an episode to do spooky month proud. Way back in 2022 we released an episode of our favorite horror games and what made them special to us. So, with Christian out of the country we figured what better time then now to revisit this idea and what better time then a few weeks before Halloween! ------------------Hosts: Christian & Chris Don't forget to leave us a cheeky review and we will read them on the show.

Feels like a broken record at this point but this has been a great year for games. And Atlus did something amazing, they released another demo (like Unicorn Overlord) that allows you to play a good chunk of the game. Just have to say that the demo does not disappoint, but rather really drives the point home that we will be diving head first into this one. Christian also has played a lot more of Bloomtown and for a game that has such a cozy exterior the content and story are so rich and will tug at all of your emotions. ------------------Hosts: Christian & Chris Don't forget to leave us a cheeky review and we will read them on the show.

Some big hitters this week! We are digging through the back log a little bit here with Christian playing through the Mass Effect series for the first time ever. Exploring the vast worlds and rich story with fresh eyes is really fascinating. Then we travel back to current times with the Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom. Finally we are able to play as Zelda with a very interesting mechanic to explore. Then we chat about a new cozy, nostalgia heavy, murder mystery, persona like game that is Bloomtown: A Different Story. So muuch to talk about and so many great mechanics too dive into.

Chris beat Astro Bot and we speculate on whats next for that franchise. Maybe a Kingdom Hearts inspired Sony-verse? And Dungeons Of Hinterburg asks the question of what wouldn't you do on a vacation. Magical portals open so why not plan a trip to fight monsters to decompress from your day to day life. But what beaches in games would you actually want to visit for a weekend getaway?

Hello all! Before we get into Astro Bot Christian has a little chip on his shoulder that needed discussion. It is becoming much more common in games and media now but too many titles have little to no pay off at the end. You finish a story and instead of enjoying a twist, or witnessing a huge epic event, or just a good payoff the ending is spoiled half way through and nothing exciting happens. Its especially annoying with games you spend 40+ hours in. But anyway...Astro Bot is amazing and it is just further proof that we NEED a new Ape Escape game!

Hey there! Throughout media certain jobs have been made to look more appealing then they actually are. There is more drama and gun fights thrown in to add to the mystery of what the job actually entails. Whether is Indiana Jones surviving a nuclear blast in a fridge, or fighting a giant Trex in a cave like Tomb Raider the job has a lot of added flourish. But is this a bad thing? Is this just escapism at its finest. And how many people have been introduced to these jobs through media and have made it their life's passion to go into the field. Let's talk about that!

We open hot this episode with some super great tech issues with Game Pass. But dive head first into the world of simulation games with inZOI. If you have not seen this game it looks insane! The character creator alone is so realistic its slightly uncomfortable. While Christian was never one to get into these types of games, Chris helps him better understand the appeal of these fictional worlds.

Coop is coming back in a hard way for us here at GlitchCube. Chris who is not a Avatar fan boy has been playing the game with a buddy, and only playing it coop and enjoying the game itself. With that there is also Remnant 2 to explore. While Christian continues down his path of long RPGs with Tales Of Arise next. So much to play and so little time.

Hello again! We took a week off last week for good reason! Our Glitch family has grown. We welcome Chris's new babies into the world! With such a large life event we somehow managed to still find time for games. Christian finished Eiyuden Chronicles, a fun game but slightly lacking in something. And Chris finished up Pikmin 4, a solid gaming experience. Fun puzzles and great visuals. So sit back, relax and enjoy some thoughts on these games, plus some shows too!

From the IBS Podcast!

We have a series of fun episodes planned out for you all. We are going to be playing the Quiet Year. It's a table top world making game. Perfect for world building and we allow our imagination to run wild here. Typically you start with a blank slate and build out the world from there. But we decided to build a world in the land of Candy Land! Think epic Game Of Thrones meets cotton candy woods and chocolate swamps.

Hey everyone! We are back with a little update episode here. We have been combing through our backlog of retro games all the while trying to keep up with the newer titles as well. We dive deep into Eiyuden Chronicles, a great love letter to the Suikoden games. But is it sticking too close to the source material? Is it missing some of the quality of life tropes that we have come to expect from modern RPGs. Also, Pikimin is back in a big way! The perfect pick up and play game for everyone!

With the flood of great games released so far this year and looking at the list of whats to come we thought it would be a good idea to look at the game of the year contenders so far. So, at least we forget about all of them. Even though we have split the year the list is as strong and as long as previous years already. And there is truly something for everyone. Games like Balatro, Prince Of Persia: The Lost Crown, Unicorn Overlord, 1000xResist, Like A Dragon Infinite Wealth and so much more!

This week we dive back into memory lane and do a little draft pick of our top 4 N64 games. And some of these picks will definitely surprise you. Looking back at this console it really was made to be enjoyed with others. So many of their biggest games were not single player experiences. Instead they brought families together while simultaneously ripping them apart. Whether its arguing over the rumble pack or getting mad at the rng of Mario Party it was a crazy fun time!

Atlus games has continued to surprise us. We have been on an Atlus kick lately and each one of their games is so different from the last but there are a couple things that persist through out all of them.And that is that they are innovative with captivating stories that have memorable characters with true life issues that are very relatable for the player. And we really dive into the time traveling, Game Of Thrones styled world of Radiant Historia. We both agree that this is the best version of time travel in anny game we have played. And oh man that combat system is so unique mixing turn based, grid based tactics and strategic turn order to make a very interesting experience.

We have a special episode here for you all. This week we are going to going over the large library of the PS1 and picking our top four games. But instead of just picking them together we wanted to try something different and do a draft style pick of our top games. The way this is going too work is we each take turns picking a game and we cannot pick games that each other have picked. So that way we will have 8 unique picks. The picks will really surprise you these are definitely not the top rated games on the PS1! Spoiler one is Yugioh!

There is a lot to talk about this week. And it has been a great time to really hit that back log. So, many titles that we missed out on over the years and finally are getting to. Like Radiant Historia, Tomb Raider and Evergrace. And one game that Christian said he probably would not play and is completely shocked by, Persona 3 Reload! Also, there is a little teaser at the end of what is to come in the near future so be sure to stick around till the end to hear about that. --------Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

With Paper Mario 100 Year Door getting a remaster we have started playing even more games in the Mario RPG genre, like Mario + Luigi Superstar Saga. The rpg Mario games are something special. They show that you can have memorable characters and similar feelings when playing games from completely different genres. Then there were some surprising games that we have recently played as well. Like Pokemon Conquest, a cute Pokemon tactics game that will take 100's of hours to complete as you conquer feudal Japan. Or taking it back to Timesplitters, remember that game? Also, Chris gets deep with an unexpected hit of a game with 1000xResist!--------Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

For everyone that knows, we are huge fans of spooky games and movies. So it just makes sense that even in summer we are looking for a good thrill. Growing up we both have experience with the Resident Evil franchise, butt for some reason neither of us have actually played the remakes of RE2 or RE3. And man the hype was real! Theses are amazing games, even with a good amount of the game getting cut in RE3. I mean who isn't terrified of being chased constantly and seriously we hate the Lickers!

Voice control has become a common place item in our day to day lives. With things like Alexa and Siri we are using our voice to turn on lights, search the internet, send messages and find out what song that just was. But when it comes to games voice controls have always been tricky if not just down right broken. But thats not without trying. For a small while there voice controlled games were coming out and testing the boundaries of this technology. But it was quickly realized that this may not really have a place in the world of games. From Hey You Pikachu's complete disregard to what you are saying to the existential ramblings of Seaman it just always felt out of place.

For years we only had a few viewpoints in the world of gaming when it came to story telling. Year after year we were shown the same viewpoint of WWII through ever evolving graphics. But now we are starting to get new story tellers in games and are finally able to see the world through different lenses. Game like T'challa are giving us a slice of life from New Caledonia, or Saviorless showing us the struggles of game development in Cuba. Or now Tales of Kenzera: ZAU is introducing us to rich lore and heart gripping stories from Abubakar Salim's Kenyan heritage.

There is a common thread that we have brought up many times. Games are changing and forever evolving. But there is something that remains a constant, and that is we want our games to be fun. Although the level of fun in games seems to be dropping with our new larger games. There is something to be said about simple games that it is easier to see the fun in them. Games were made to be shared and enjoyed with friends in groups like at arcades or in schools. Now that games have become an individual experience, has the fun gone with them?--------Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

The state a gaming reviews needs a change. The number system just does not work and too many big critics out there are reviewing game genres that they do not even like.

Demos have changed so much over the years. From the disks you would get in the back of a magazine, or the ones you could get from pizza hut; to now with early access or the ability to play a game for x amount of hours. But the question is do demos still have that. same magic they. once had. They used to be an event or something to look forward to. Now they fall a little flat sometimes and some games feel as if they are making us the players their own personal QA team.

Hello all and welcome back! So, there has been a game that has taken over the internet for a bit here and that is Balatro. If you love card games, a bit or randomness and strategy you are going to love this one. We knew we would enjoy this title, but didn't know just how much! This game is so surprising at first glance it felt like a simple fun experience. But there iis so much to explore and discover in this game! But there is a dark side to Balatro. Shortly after it's release it's rating got changed to 18+ due to "gambling". This rating change caused it to be removed from store fronts and really came as a shock. But luckily it did not slow down the popularity of this great game.--------Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

It is with a heavy heart that we come to you this week with some horrible news. We have lost a hero, a legend, an icon, Akira Toriyama. He has inspired multiple generations across anime, manga and games. His style is so memorable that no one can mistake his work. You often hear about people and celebrities passing, but for us this one has hit so hard. Toriyama's work has sculpted our childhoods and has inspired us in ways that we may not even know yet. He will be missed, but never forgotten.

Hey there Cubies! Video game movies hold a special place in our hearts. Some are actually pretty good, but its always a surprise when they are. But most are just awful and really run away from the source material. Max Payne is no different! This is a certain kinda bad, confusing and all that crazy stuff. As usual it had an all star cast but they just could not deliver in the end. From a story that leads no where to the longest bullet time scenes ever, super soldiers, angels, junkies, revenge plots there is a lot to take in here. --------Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

Hey there Cubies! The game mechanics we are diving into this week are backtracking and fast travel. The topic of back tracking can be a bit of a sore subject for some gamers out there.

Hey there cubies! Not matter how hard we try we can just not get away from AI. It is becoming integrated in every career field whether we like it or not. Most gaming companies seem to be shying away from it, but there is one giant out there that is openly advocating for it, and that is Square Enix. With some truly amazing stories and games made by this studio like the Final Fantasy Series it came as a shock that they are pushing so hard to aggressively integrate AI into their development process.

Gaming headlines this year have been filled with negative talk of Unity, gaming layoffs and crazy prison sentences for gaming leaks.

The day they were announced the world wide gaming market lost about 40 billion dollars! Who knows what will come from this and what types of games may be coming out in the future due to this.

Hey there Cubies! We've said this time and time again but this year has been an amazing year for RPGs. What has been great to see recently is there are so many games coming out recently with direct roots to the classics like Moonring and Ultima, or Sea Of Stars and the Legend Of Dragoon Series. It is great seeing all these designers wearing their inspiration on their sleeves. And these games have been truly amazing experiences!--------Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

Hey Cubies! Storytelling has so many different tools in its belt to captivate the audience. One of which is introspection. Where introspection is the examination or observation of one's own mental and emotional processes. There are different ways in which story tellers include this is their tales. By putting the viewer in the mind of the character, or even slower moments in which the scene can breath and the viewer or player can interpret what they just witnessed. With the growth of games we are seeing some many amazing examples of introspection in games. Some we chat about are Journey and Cyberpunk 2077.--------Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

Hey Hi and Hello! The ways in which games are advertised and released have drastically changed in recent years. Many game devs will go into press conferences promising the world, or rather 18 quintillion worlds only to fall flat on day of release, like in the case of No Mans Sky. This obviously angers the gamers out there that fell for the hype. Some even take it so far as to send death threats to the developers and company. Obviously this is a drastic response to the situation but there is something interesting here. For the games that. continue to get updates and new content added to them the gamers come back and even rave about the once "garbage" game. It almost makes it okay to release games that are broken or do not deliver what is expected or promised. Games like Cyberpunk 2077, No Mans Sky, Destiny and maybe even Starfield will fall into this category one day. --------Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

Hey there Cubies! Over the past few months there have been some amazing massive open world games released. Like Starfield, Tears Of The Kingdom and Baulder's Gate 3. But are these games just large with no purpose? Should games be smaller on scale to allow for more elaborate content? There is a real charm with smaller worlds in games. There are less waypoints and random spots where a player may just wonder for hours. But is that the point of these large games now? Is it to wonder without a purpose, or should these games have a million waypoints to places the player would have never known about? There are a lot of questions this week, thats for sure!--------Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

From the over priced changes of Unity, to the 16% of layoffs in Epic and the end of a legend Achievement Hunter the gaming industry as a whole is changing and not always for the better. As games continue to be more main stream a lot of businesses are looking at new ways to cash out quickly, but it is being hit with some high resistance from the community. --------Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

But with how much the industry has changed over the past decade we wanted to really dive in and ask what exactly is an indie title.

Hey there Cubies! This year has been an amazing year games. The shear amount of memorable and impactful titles that have come out in the past few months have made everyone in the industry start floating the idea that video games are going through a renaissance period. With games like Baldur's Gate 3, Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2, Final Fantasy 16, Resident Evil 4 Remake, Deadspace Remake and so much more. For the past few years indie games were leading innovation in games, but it looks like AAA is trying to take that title back!

From the past: We are back at it again with another interesting topic/idea for you. This week we are looking deeper at our social structure in this day and age. We look back at our own childhood up bringing and see how it compares to this generation and ponder on how it may effect those individuals inn the future. We feel strongly that this is something that needs to be thought about more because it not only effects how people will continue to communicate, but how they might interact in school or even how messages may be delivered in the work place.

Hey There Cubies! Nostalgia plays a huge role in our show. Last week wee chatted about Zelda Tears Of The Kingdom and used that as an opportunity to relive our experience with the franchise as a whole. So this week we wanted to talk about a console that has some strong memories for us, and that is of course the N64! The N64 brought families together and showed us the glory of 3D worlds in some of our favorite franchises. Plus any game with the "64" added to the title was bound to be amazing.

Hey there Cubies! Immersion is something that all designers try to create in their games. It gives the player the illusion the game is alive and that all choices made by the player matter. While a lot of this is just an illusion created by the designers there are some games out there that push this to new heights. Games like Rain World use AI to generate everything from the animations to the behaviors that the animals follow. We are starting to see more games using AI in the creation process, but what else can it be used for? Can it make a truly endless game? Make NPCs react to everything changing in their world, all the while based on their behavior patterns? The possibilities are truly endless.--------Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

Hey there Cubies! Games have gone through many different phases. From the underground phase of being made and played using college and company computers in people's downtime, to an angry teenager scene to now a very professional product. The growth is amazing to witness but it has left us with a question. And that is have games lost their edge? Are they just rinse and repeat and do not push the envelope any longer. In the past games like DOOM and GTA would push the boundaries of content and technological capabilities. But now they feel tame and the norm. So what games are keeping that edge? Or has the industry become too professional?--------Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

Hey there Cubies! The amount of games out there is pretty astronomical. But what should you play? What should you spend your money and more importantly your time on? And to make things worse it is not just what game to play but which ones have the length that you want. Does a 10 hour game warrant $60? Or should length dictate the price of a game. We have all been burned at some point with a game that not only you finished too quick but it just wasn't that great of an experience. So, the real question is can a short game make as much of an impact as these longer titles.

Hey Cubies! This week we wanted to discuss puzzle games, more specifically Tetris. The way this game was released to the world is pretty crazy. So many under the table deals, lies, scandals and shady government organizations. But during this time it was the wild west of video games. They were still learning how these deals should be made. And to think that all of this started because an engineer decided to blow off some steam after work and make a little game to pass the time.

Hey there Cubies! Throughout the years there have been a multitude of ways in which games have been made. There are a plethora of game engines out there for designers to choose from. And each one, while can make an amazing game, have their own little differences. But what did they use before game engines were a thing? They actually used machine language to make their games and it took have an engineering background to do so. Game engine take what we want and convert it to machine language for the computer to understand. So, with their invention game design has been brought to the masses for better and for worse. But when it comes to deciding which engine to dedicate your time towards, that can be a crippling choice. Don't worry though we have gone through the history of engines and tested out quite a few to give discuss some of the strengths of these engines. Ultimately though what matters is what you have access to because what matters the most is the passion behind the game not the engine. --------Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

Hey there Cubies! With the recent trailers of Final Fantasy 16 there have been some interesting and important conversations happening in the gaming world. FF16 producer and director Naoki Yoshida expressed his feelings about the term JRPG in a recent interview. He let the world know that it is in fact a discriminatory term used to segregate the genre. Most fans of the genre may have been a little surprised to hear this. But looking at when the term was used more heavily by the media it really makes sense as to why. It was during a period in which Japanese developers were going through a bit of a dry spell and American companies were making the claim that there RPGs were better. They further hammered this point by pushing for the terms JRPG and WRPG (Western RPG). A genre should not be determined by its origin, but rather for its mechanics. I mean the first "JRPG" was created by a Dutch designer. So it has been a long time coming, but it is an important conversation to have. --------Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

A style that was used to show off wealth and prosperity, to bring hope back to the people especially after struggling through the Great Depression. But there is another side to Art Deco that when used properly can really be used to invoke feelings of despair, elitist culture and totalitarian beliefs.

Capturing the excitement we felt when playing them all those years ago. And being able to share them once again with this new generation of gamers. It is a really amazing thing since a lot of these games just are not playable anymore by todays standards. And some titles have this strange phenomenon attached to them. They play and look how we remember them. Now I do not mean that the graphics are the same, but rather that these upgraded visuals are how we remember them. It is really weird, but interesting to witness.

Hey there Cubies! We are continuing our conversation with architecture in game by diving into the world of brutalism. Typically brutalism is looked at as cold or devoid of life but it is so much more than people think. Its use of raw materials to allow the building itself to speak tell a story that is outside of the architect that designed it. With the proper lighting if can really add a sense of mystery to a scene. One of the best examples of how to use brutalism in games is Control. It is almost impossible to not see this game when looking up brutalist architecture in games. But this style has been used in multiple games to great success. Like Mass Effect, Mirrors Edge, North, Assassin's Creed, and so much more.

Hello Cubies! Welcome back to another week of video game discussions. We have talked a lot about mechanics, art and intent for video game designers but there is a category that seems to be forgotten when talking about games. That being the architecture in games. For years it has just been a background piece and many games do not put a major focus on it when designing their levels. But we are seeing more and more games try and put more emphasis on the overall architecture to help boost their level design, along with creating a stronger immersion for the player. Locations are becoming more grounded in reality and basic architectural practices are being focused on. This really is showing the overall growth of the game design field. --------Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

Hey there Cubies! This week we are diving through the world of crowdfunding. It has truly changed the way that video games get released and has evolved the indie market into what it is today. Long gone are the days in which an unknown creator has to rely on a large publisher to make their projects come to fruition. Now we can ask our audience to support our endeavors. While this is a wonderful thing, there are times in which the designers see dollar signs and begin to slack off on the project, or the game is just not what the people expected.

Hello Cubies! HBO has just released its new show "Last Of Us" based on the critically acclaimed video game. Now video game movies and tv shows are not anything new at this point, and their track record is not really great if we are being honest. Most video game ideas do not translate well to the silver screen. But lately we have been seeing better renditions of video games out there. And with that we have to ask the question, are writers getting better at making things a reality, or are video games becoming more like movies. Right now is an interesting time because there are so many titles that have potential movies or shows that will be released in the near future. And what is great is that they are from all different years of gaming history. So we are excited to see how some older titles might hold up vs newer more cinematic games. --------Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

Hello Cubies! The indie field is something that we really appreciate here at GlitchCube and we wanted to take a look back at how it all exploded into the field. At first we wanted to just do an episode on game jams, but after doing some research and seeing the incredible list of games that came from game jams this became more of a history lesson on indie games. Without game jams we wouldn't have games like Celeste, SuperHot or The Binding Of Issac. The core concept for these games were developed in a very short amount of time, some only 48 hours while others were developed in a week. But either way this is an incredibly short amount of time to develop a game. But these restrictions on time force the designers to really focus in on what makes the game fun and push their games past fake boundaries that we have set in the gaming field. Luckily now game jams are so well known that at any given weekend you can find one going on, pushing genres and testing limits to continue to give us amazing indie games!--------Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

Hey Cubies! We dive through more lore and mythos in this weeks episode. This time we are looking at India. When doing research for this episode we learned some rather interesting things about the portrayal of gods in games. And it explains why there might not be more games with the stories of the gods themselves. Despite that we have some fun games to discus like Raji: An Ancient Epic, Asura's Wrath, Gamaya and more!--------Follow the link bellow to go to our various socials and be sure to join the Discord to talk with us and the community directly.

Hello Cubies! This weeks episode is one that really means a lot to the both of us. Games have always had a bad rap when it comes to how they can be beneficial for development. But in the past we have tried to change that stigma by showing how they can be helpful for things like depression, PTSD, and inclusivity. This week we will be discussing the benefits of gaming when it pertains to autism. And we were lucky enough to chat with a parent that discussed some of the effects they have seen on their little one as they journey through games.

Hello Cubies! Thank you for joining us again as we dive into another fun and exciting topic! We are looking into the reward system in games. While they are put in place to teach players and keep them engaged in the games, they may have the adverse reaction as well. Is there such thing as too much of a good thing? Can you get bored or rewards? Do achievements break the overall purpose of the game? We discuss all these questions and more!

Here we go! join us for our first #rehash as we dive into games of our past and see if they still hold up, or if our child eyes made these games out into something they weren't. The first game we play through is Viewtiful Joe, this title really helped the overall success of the GameCube and gave a really fun twist to the beat'em up genre. From breaking the fourth wall to fancy camera work this was a feast for the eyes when we were kids, but what about now? You'll just have to give it a listen! HENSHIN A GO GO, BABY!!!

Hello and welcome back to the wonderful world of video games. Thank you so much for joining us again this week as we dive into another topic that has peaked our interest and has allowed our desire to explore blossom. We are talking about the magical world of MMO's. There are many to pick from out in the world, but they all share some commonalities throughout. We also feel that this genre might be one of the more polarizing when it comes to gamers enjoying it or not. So sit back, relax and enjoy as we go through the history of MMO's then go into some that have caught our interest like Final Fantasy 14 and New World!

Welcome back all you Ghouls and Ghosts! This week we kick off the spooky season by taking a deeper look at atmospheric horror games and how they have evolved over the years. From the vidsuals to the sound design they have scared us to death throughout the years and we have a great appreciation and fondness for the experience. Our main game this week is one that takes all the concepts learned from various horror games and really polishes them into a terrifying mass of dread. We are of course talking about Alien Isolation!

Here we go! Back at it again and this time we bring you a truly devastating failure in gaming history. We of course are talking about the Sega's fall from grace and what really bizarre situations lead to their failure in the console wars. We are diving into the last two consoles that Sega released, the Saturn and the Dreamcast. While some may call these a flop and others may say they "were just before their time" there is something that both sides can agree on, and that is that these systems have a very interesting history behind them. So pop in those headphones and enjoy another entry in the Dark Ages of gaming!

Welcome back Cubies! We continue this little mini series this week with some more "failures" straight from the dark ages of gaming. The focus is the 3DO, which on paper is a failed system but they did have some rather interesting ideas that did cause many designers to have their games showcased on the 3DO. But ultimately their model was not able to continue and it fizzled out just as quick as it appeared. We also dive into the wonderful/creepy world of FMV. These games are a trip to watch and even trippier to play. The content that they cover are so vast and potentially problematic. Hope you enjoy this weeks conversation!

Welcome to the Dark Ages oof gaming! This week we begin our next mini series on the failures in gaming history. While there are many "failures" out there there are some stand outs that have a rather interesting story. Here we discuss two creations that really did not hit their mark. The infamous gaming console by Nintendo the Virtual Boy and Romaro's pet project, Daikatana. While media has portrayed these titles as black stains on these creators records there is something that we can still learn by looking into them. Thanks for listening!

This week we look at Rogue-likes/Rogue-lites as a whole and look a little deeper at some of their new installments like Hades and Krumit's Tale.
