Welcome to Reflection: A Celeste Retrospective Podcast, a game club miniseries from The Party Games Show.
In Episode 4, co-hosts Andrew King and Colton Burge are joined by Eric Van Allen, senior news reporter at Destructoid and co-host of Normandy FM, to discuss Chapter 4: Golden Ridge. You might remember it as the wind level, but it has a whole lot more to offer, including one of the most empathetic and nuanced portrayals of anxiety in a video game.

Welcome to Reflection: A Celeste Retrospective Podcast!
In the third episode of this Party Games Show miniseries, hosts Andrew King and Colton Burge are joined by Stacey Henley, Features Editor at The Gamer and former freelance writer.
Stacey talks about revisiting critical writing on Celeste after initially playing the game while blissfully unaware of the Discourse, and what it was like to play Celeste as a trans woman (even before the creators confirmed that Madeline was trans, too). Then, we all analyze Mr. Oshiro as a boss battle and Theo's friendship with Madeline.

In the first episode, Andrew and Colton are joined by Tom Marks, Deputy Reviews Editor at IGN, to discuss the Prologue and Chapter 1, the game's blending of impactful storytelling and stellar platforming and the moment Tom knew Celeste was something special. 10/10 special, even.

In their long-awaited return to Bullworth Academy (recored in November 2020), Andrew and Colton sour some on Rockstar's 2006 open-world action game as they reach its conclusion. Some of these missions (i.e. Jimmy sneakily taking pictures of girls in the shower)don't hold up so well in 2021.
Additionally, Colton has pumped hundreds of hours into Hades and Andrew has put similar amounts of time into Asssassin's Creed Valhalla.

KOTOR is over. Class is in session.
In their first episode on Bully, Andrew and Colton discuss the highs and lows of revisiting Rockstar's 2006 take on "What if GTA but in a school?" in 2020. The highs? Surprisingly good fistfights. The lows? Yum Yum Market.
Before that, Andrew sells Colton on Hades, Supergiant's stylish action roguelite with a heavy emphasis on hot gods and storytelling. Update: Colton is now playing Hades.

After months playing Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Andrew and Colton finally reach the end of BioWare's seminal sci-fi RPG. This week, they're joined by their old friend, Clay Harrington. Unlike Andrew and Colton, Clay grew up playing KOTOR and discussed his feelings upon returning to the childhood favorite.
But, before all that KOTOR talk, Andrew, Colton and Clay discuss some new releases, including Spelunky 2 and Marvel's Avengers. Plus, Clay has been playing Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and Colton has been exploring the expansive world of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
At the end of the episode, Andrew and Colton announce their next game club pick: Rockstar's 2005 school story, Bully, which is available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One. More on that next week.

In Episode 6, Andrew and Colton are talking Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. This week, for the second part of the game, Andrew and Colton travel to Dantooine and Tatooine and think a lot about colonialism, genocide and the politics of podracing.
If that doesn't sound very party-ish, they also chat about Fall Guys, the goofy, phsyics-y battle royale megahit. And, of course, giants riding around on dragons in Skyrim, as mentioned in the piece below.

March was a wild month and Andrew and Colton didn't have time to do a proper game club. Instead, you can hear them chat about some of the new games they've been playing recently, including Doom Eternal and Devil May Cry 3: Special Edition on Switch. They also take some time to work through their anxieties about the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
