Episode 2 and we're trying something new!
Every Month PlayStation gives out some free games and we're going to choose one, play it, and then talk about it!
This month we decided to do the Sloclap Kung Fu game SIFU. We have thoughts and feelings and want to share those feelings and thoughts with you lovely people. We had fun with this episode and think you will thoroughly enjoy it and want to then go play it and talk to us about it on discord! Sound like a plan? Yes? Yes!

Lindsey, Steph, and Marlee find themselves aboard the USG Ishimura, and boy are we glad we brought our stomping boots and plasma cutters! It's the Dead Space Remake episode! Don't judge us too harshly on this episode- we lost a lot of sleep after battling necromorphs and the influence of The Marker the past few nights.

Lindsey, Stephanie and Marlee find themselves separated in a murder hotel built after the likes of H.H. Holmes with only a piece of filming equipment and maze solving know how (or not so much in Lindsey's case) to survive the night! In this episode, we discuss the latest installment in The Dark Pictures Anthology, and rate it compared to the others in the series.

Ring a ding a ling a ding! We're back and have survived the wave of panels at SLC FanX 2023! We discuss our panels and overall FanX experiences, meeting new friends (which I like to include Charlie Cox in... because he's more than just a celeb.) Steph has all the hot celebrity goss, Marlee presents her thesis, and Lindsey remembers the time we accidentally sawed Rami Malek in half (in Until Dawn guys, calm down).

There's lots of tea to sip and spill on this Behind the Scenes episode, without even fully dipping into the issues Blizzard has been having, from development issues to the actual mythos surrounding Lillith. We discuss all about the very unappreciated patch of the game, religion, and so on.

Lindsey, Steph and Mar take a trip to Sanctuary (a place not as friendly as it sounds) and clobber the legions of undead, slaughter the evil, and maybe even take a swing or two at Diablo IV itself! Come join us in our discord and let us know what you think! Go to:

We're finally behind the scenes of Metroid Prime: Remastered, and we dive into the tea of the making of the original game as well as the differences between the original and remastered versions. The group examines the phenomenon of Stanley cups and Utah moms. Steph finds a naked wheres Waldo, Lindsey loves trash baebes, and Marlee is throwing a guitar hero party!

Linds, Steph and Mar are headed to the arcade in this episode of Cutscenes and Cupcakes, and who better to bring to the arcade than our good friend Brian Alexander!

We're back from our summer break and happy to enter into a retro game month with the Metroid Prime Remaster! The group gets woefully lost and struggles with some pathfinding, but it's still a good time because Marlee conquers her fears of lake monsters, Lindsey finds manticor bones on the beach, and Steph is clomping right along!

You can't talk about Hogwarts Legacy for nearly a month without talking about your Myers-Briggs personality and its correlation with our hat-designated Hogwarts houses. Can you guess which houses Linds, Mar, and Steph are in? In this episode, Marlee admits to being a control nerd, and Steph proposes a Harry Potter Pickle-free Puzzle People Party club. Also, Lindsey has a just a spark one of her "Lindsey's broken" laugh fits.

Hop aboard the Hogwarts Express on this episode and join up with Stephanie and Marlee as they discuss all things Wizarding World/Harry Potter and more with fellow podcaster Ty from Multiplane Podcast!

Prepare for a little bit of whiplash as we go from cackling side rants to a sincere chat about inclusiveness and actually pretty important things. Lindsey, Steph and Marlee get together to talk about Hogwarts Legacy, going over the good, the bad, and the ugly of the game. We discuss our neighbor Avalanche Software, the uselessness of the game's quidditch coach (as well as our respective quidditch positions), antisemitism, and a disingenuous use of a powerful platform, letting people be the tour guide to their world, and pickles. Oh, and please always keep reading with the kids in your life!

They're fresh off of the Hogwarts Express for the summer and ready to cast their unforgivable curses that they learned from their sketchy classmate in the undercroft! It's Lindsey Silvereye, Thraxa Thornberry, and Velvet Stoof here discussing their journey at Hogwarts in the late 1800s. We chat about what the game hit and missed throughout this episode, as well as... the -occasional- tangent that we may be known for.

Have you ever heard of Interview with a Vampire? It's like that, but Interview with Not A Vampire, so its pretty much... just an interview? Linds, Mar and Steph discuss all things video game streaming with our dear friend of the podcast, Jordan, (aka Not A Vampire, I Promise). We chat about the increase in streamers and fans over the pandy, technical difficulties, and about making good friends and hanging with good people online... speaking of which...

Welcome back to Vanaheim, fam-a-heim! Sorry not sorry for that. Anyways, it's our Behind the Scenes episode covering God of War: Ragnarok! We talk about all things Bear McCreary, Thod (not a misspelling of Thor), and how proud we are of all the cast and creators behind this amazing game.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Lindsey, Steph and Mar explore the vast landscape of Vanaheim in this episode where we cover God of War: Ragnarok! We discuss dinner, how much we hate Heimdall, and our love for this masterpiece until we just about pass out from exhaustion (after climbing the wall in Asgard first, of course!)

In this Side Mission episode, Steph, Marlee, and Lindsey bring back an old game back into the rotation. That's right, Fortnite is back! But only because of Zero Build Mode. Marlee and Steph share their experiences skydiving back into this battle royale - the various weapons and skins, while Lindsey shares what skins there would have to be available in order for her to play again. I will give you one hint: My Chemical Romance. Marlee rambles, Steph makes jokes, and Lindsey promises that one day she will play Fortnite with us. And one last thing, don't forget to thank the bus driver!

Stephanie gives a delightful monologue, Lindsey subtly reveals herself as a troll, and Marlee confesses her latest battle royale rekindling.

Step aboard the SSV Normandy as we travel behind the scenes of Mass Effect 1! Lindsey, Marlee, and Steph take a deeper dive into the making of the hit video game, as well as a better look at some the characters and unique dialogue options. We also discuss the impact and influence that Mass Effect 1 has on later games.

Buckle up your seatbelts, because Shepard is driving the Mako! Lindsey, Marlee and Steph dive into this months featured game- Mass Effect! We talk about the egg market, empathetic nostalgia, romanceable and favorite companions, the NAST-oid process, and all the lovely (and the not so great) aspects of one of Lindsey's favorite games.

Hang onto your cupcakes! Linds and Mar dive in (or rather fall in) to a walled in cyberpunk world and discuss Stray! We do our best to not talk (and cry) just about how much we love cats, and to cover this delightful little indie cat adventure game. Steph couldn't make it this time, but our irl cats (Marlee's Harvey and Lindsey's Hamilton) step up to the plate to try to fill the void. Afterwards, we chat about the games we're playing, and equally importantly... the Hogwarts Legacy outfits we're making!

The world opens itself up to those with noble hearts... We're back in Teyvat! Lindsey, Steph and Mar jump back into Genshin Impact for another look into the game. Lindsey has lag issues (not in the game, forgive her new laptop!), Steph and Marlee calls for a Fae x Genshin crossover... because pretty fairy boys (and unsolved mystery Buzzfeed articles) are where it's at.

It's the first "smission" of Cutscenes and Cupcakes Season 6! In this side mission episode, Steph and Marlee explore the office, and more significantly the game boundaries of The Stanley Parable, testing a sassy narrator to their limits. Unlike this mind-bending game which has dozens of endings, this episode has one. (Or does it?!) Marlee gets creepy vibes from the game, and Steph gives creepy vibes in the direction of a long lost teachers assistant/crush.
Lindsey gets so excited for next weeks episode, she gets a nasty case of bronchitis and takes the day off. (Also I did edit and listen thoroughly, I'm still leaving the Steph's "cough-ee" induced coughing in!)
Part of our new guest interview episodes, this episode highlights Rae, a producer at Red Games and from It was a Sh*t Show podcast! Rae tells us about her experiences working in the gaming industry, how cool Legos are, and how traveling to Europe on a work trip isn't as cool as you'd think (although we at Cutscenes are extremely jealous).

Diving deeper into our featured game of the month, we examine all the facets of what goes into making a video game in our new and first ever Behind the Scenes episode!

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Welcome to Season 6! We are kicking things off right with the 2022 hit game, Horizon Forbidden West! Lindsey, Marlee, and Steph discuss their favorite parts of the game (so all of it), how amazing the stash is, their favorite companion character, and which culture they identify with and would live with if they were part of this world. Lindsey has a series of audio issues (we did our best...), Steph becomes one with nature (and has a phone intervention underway), and Marlee delves into the depths of Kotallo fanfic.

With a record for our longest title yet, you may have guessed that this episode is a double-feature of two very spoopy video games! Enjoy segments such as: Not a Sponsors, Video Game Discussions, Announcements, Dessert Ratings.... and Cutscenes and Cupcakes: Bathroom Edition! Stephanie definitely does not fall asleep, Marlee pops into a pocket universe to play Control, and Lindsey spots a naked, jiggling intruder!

Aliens and ghosts! Creepers and cryptids! This episode isn't like any other we've recorded while we get real personal and talk about what we do and don't believe to when it comes to all things Halloween. And let me tell you- it's scarier than the empty, spiderwebbed gigabytes in our Gmail storage! Marlee watches just one episode of Supernatural, Lindsey watches a single space documentary, and Steph watches an episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Just kidding, of course- we watch those things in bulk. What are your spoopy stories? What do you believe? Send us an email!

Cannibalism and body art? (Not the pretty kind but the murdery kind?) An all out power struggle between Steph and Linds? Carmello Bars?! A battery failure in the middle of the episode?! What is this episode even about?!
This episode is, as Steph put it, very Tony Hawk light and much more about crinkles (please forgive us and our Salted Caramel Twix), cackles, and candy. But we do eventually touch upon some Tony Hawk, the icon, and the iconic Tony Hawk game. Marlee wears a poodle skirt for her Halloween costume, Steph is insubordinate and the pro skater of the group, and Lindsey is power hungry but she did get to see Sum 41 at warped tour.

We're back in New York baby and it feels great! Swinging through the streets and saving cats (and occasionally humans too), Linds, Mar, and Steph play and discuss Spiderman: Miles Morales. Then, as usual, we return to your regularly scheduled programming and do our Not a Sponsor (or Lil NAS) segment featuring what we've been into and made us cheery this past week. Also, thanks to Marlee for bringing us 10/16 cookies to snack on, so our dessert segment is still valid!
