Hello! This episode is absurdly late. After we finished recording it Mat was convinced it's one of the worst episodes we've ever tried to produce and couldn't summon the energy.

It is alright, actually! Previous episodes of this show have seen Mat Jones admitting that he'd rather eat poison at his job than admit a minor dietary concern. Are we going to take our advice on podcast quality from that sort of a man?

This week's smart topics are about how you curate user-messages to retain fun but stamp out misogyny. Also: How making a game about insurgency set in America can't properly make any meaningful statements about that topic.

But, I mean, the BEST conversation is about fuckin' Waluigi driving a Mercedes Benz.

Oh Hey: At An Hour and Thirty Five Minutes into this we play a game of Fuck Marry Kill using some Abstract Video Game Things. I was informed after the episode had been recorded that this kinda discussion can be potentially upsetting. Rather than cut it out I'm choosing to draw attention here and let you make your own mind up if you want to listen.

I normally like to make the title of the episode the funniest thing we say in the show, so, uh.

In this week's: we talk about comfort being more important than surprise, the difficulty meshing video game conflict with negative commentary (and how Spec Ops fails while Risk Legacy succeeds), how Risk of Rain's too effective as a power fantasy, how games about systems interacting don't benefit from early access because all the systems have yet to be implemented and we reveal a TENYA WANYA TEENS EXCLUSIVE.

This week's best conversation is about games that decide not to ever kill the player! It's a little boring until that point! Sorry!

We also talk about Risk Legacy and we do our best not to be specific about anything, so that might be boring if you've played it and confusing if you haven't!

Sorry for the delay on this one! Audio is weird!

We replaced Mat and Tom with Phoebe, Tine and Lydia and talked about ALL KINDSA THINGS. But specifically these things:

  • Monaco
  • Receiver
  • Star Command
  • Cargo Commander

The break music this week is the title track from Anamanaguchi's hot new record Endless Fantasy which is real real good and is maybe the best electronic dance-rock record to be released this week and if you know what the other one is it should tell you how good this one is.

We talk about Corrypt at the start. Don't let us spoil it for you, skip to 8 minutes in if you haven't played it yet. It's excellent because of something it hides from you initially. Seriously. Don't listen to that part if you haven't played it.

Hey! I edited this for the first time in about a month! I hope I've remembered how to do it!

PLAY ATTENTION:

Dota 2! - Lords management is a weird genre and it either resonates with you or doesn't. I think I like it! I still don't know anything about it!

Heads Up, Hot Dog! - Balance Hot Dogs on people's heads. Don't think too much about why.

Asphix! - A game that uses the honour system. You hold your breath if you character goes underwater and press a button to die if you breathe in. It's rare to allow the player such a level of exploitative ability! 

TF2's Cool Halloween Mode! - Josh describes it as interesting, it ends on Monday so if you're reading this after then? I guess... Wait until next year?

Prison Architect! - Martin created the perfect prison, but do things go his way??

Xcom! - Still an incredible game!

Risk Legacy! - We can barely talk about why it's cool, but keep bringing it up!

Dark Heresy! - Y'all should know about Dark Heresy already!

Dark Heresy!
