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.

We recorded this live! It doesn't sound amazing, but, I dunno! Maybe you'll still like it! We talk about False Interactivity, the idea of visual consistency allowing for a sense of place, premium prices for rushed content, our woes with early access and HUNK-BASED ANIME.

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:
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. |

Friend of the show Patrick joins to keep us in check, and Melon gets mad at us for getting too many things wrong. Later, everything becomes terrible so we heroically run away and bump our heads on things. This is what passes for heroism in the 41st millenium, I guess? |

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. |
