Wildfrost (2023): Where's My Damage At?31 Jul 202501:04:17

You gotta love a roguelike deckbuilder. It's the peanutbutter and chocolate of genres. The randomness and run-to-run differentiation, with the short-loop tactics of building a deck. It's so good together!

Except sometimes you get a peanutbutter guy and then spend the next ten minutes looking for mr. chocolate until you hit the big ugly jelly boss and he blaps you back to the goddamn home screen

I'm not mad. I'm not mad! Don't let them tell you I'm mad. This game is too cute for that.

In this episode: misleading art, deckbuilders, out here looking like a Korean schoolgirl's phone, working against yourself, cute elements, combo potential, lots of little unlocks and achievements, too much polish.

Stardew Valley (2016): Is He Interesting Or Does He Just Have Hair?22 May 202501:14:27

I'm tired, we're tired, and if I had to take a guess, you're probably tired too. That's why we turn to games like stardew valley: because they suck and when we're miserable it's nice to just tear into a bunch of loser guys who live with their parents and dare to think they're anywhere near the same league as you, a perfect farming god(dess).

In this episode: being tired, here is your biweekly egg please love me, sauceless losers, harem anime protagonist, how much can one radish cost, ten dollars? He's not that interesting he just has hair, straight guy vibes, shitass bumfuck loser towns, grindan at my grindan game, cactus complaints.

Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengance of the Slayer (2023): Are We Immune to This Kind of Nostalgia?10 Aug 202301:34:43

For this week, we've decided to pick up our first boomer shooter of the podcast, and what a hell of a game this turned out to be. Slayers X is a spin-off/follow-up to 2019's Hypnospace Outlaw, and is a game created by the fictional character of Zane Lofton. It's full of 90s nostalgia, hackblood charges, and just so, so many poop jokes. 

In this episode: we've got new intro music (thanks cliff!), nu metal, 90s charm, rats, our boomer shooter experiences, zane is a loser, old people are weird, the cutscenes rule

Outer Wilds (2019) Part 2: Did You Finally Toast A Perfect Marshmallow?03 Aug 202302:03:41

We're finally putting Outer Wilds (mostly) behind us, as four of the the five of us have finished - and all five of us have some really big thoughts. Mostly praise! This was a game truely like no other, and while Feather from the future really wants you to know the game is like an 8.5 / 10 (even if it's a 5/5 hole score) it's still a special gem that we're all glad to have gotten to experience.

In this episode: Karp is removed from infinite cities until his performance improves, breaking spacetime for discord cred, finishing your plate (metaphorically), a very useful graph, blasting teenagers into space, that ending, more theories, unbelivable hole-ness.

Outer Wilds (2019) Part 1: You Know When Your Life Flashes Before Your Eyes But It's Like Only Six Pictures?20 Jul 202301:32:23

Outer Wilds is an absolute joy of a game, capturing wonder and exploration and puzzles in a near-perfect little solar system. It's so good, that we're recommending you hold off on this episode (or at least all of the episode after about 20 minutes in) until you've started it.

Not finished it, mind you - we haven't finished it either! (Except Gary, who doesn't count.) This episode is just part 1. In fact, the ideal way to consume both Outer Wilds and Infinite Cities might just be to play about 8-10 hours, then come listen to us, where you can sync up with our confusion across the bounds of time and space. From that cross-dimensional mind meld that is podcasting, you can go back out into the littlest solar system with a fresh perspective and a few new theories.

Or, if you've already beaten it, you can listen to how dumb we're being and relive some of that first explorative joy! (Again, except Gary)

ALSO very cool awesome person Hen is on, because she's been backseating Will this entire time and has Big Thoughts!

Note: next week will be no episode! Most of us will be at Comic-Con!

In this episode: 2019 gaming, fuzzy spoiler boundaries, surprise questions, rough takeoff, diegetic tutorials, falling into the ocean, you gotta go into the bramble, scale, postpods.

OneShot (2016): Wouldn't It Be F***ed Up If Robots Had Feelings?13 Jul 202301:43:06

Hello Listener. 

This episode talks about the 2014/2016/2022 puzzle adventure RPG game OneShot - but you knew that already. You also know how this episode ends. We've been here before. This is not the first Episode 2. This is just the first Episode 2 you can still change.

Do be careful though, because you only have One Shot - and if you close this podcast, Gary dies.

(he does not actually die he is fine)

In this episode: spoiler zone purpose and philosophy, RPG maker games as a genre, will had a bad time, meta elements, sitting down to play chess, a sidenote about goldeneye 64 which sucks, if you put bird people in your game feather will love it, the hardest decision we've ever had to make, fixing your errors, dialogues within dialogues, re-re-re-contextualization.

Unpacking (2021): Can I Come To Your House and Judge All Of Your Possessions?06 Jul 202301:33:38

We begin with a game about life changes, finding yourself in a new place, and making yourself a home out of a space. We think this is a good fit for our beginning, although Feather still doesn't know where to put all the little towels and Karp is still unpacking even more socks. 

Content warnings: full unpacking spoilers from 0:16:00. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse spoilers in the postpod, from 1:27:00.

In this episode: please unpack that box (yes that box), busywork and moving stress, deeply unfair comparisons to Lawrence of Arabia, sound effects, stealing things from room mates, telling stories through environmental details, where the hell do you put extra towels, how to get screenshots off a nintendo switch.

Blue Prince (2025): Are You Enjoying Taking Notes?01 May 202501:37:36

Important Announcement! This weekend is Taco De Minecraft!

It's our annual community livestream, except way, way more chill - so chill it's just going to be in the voice channels of the Taco Stand Discord. We're going to hang out! We're going to play Minecraft! We might play some other games? The day is full of potential! The only thing that is certain is you should consider donating to the Southern California Immigration Project, here: https://www.socalimmigrationproject.org/donate

"It is easier to raise questions than answer them."
- The Fundamental Law Of Mysteries

Feather's Bonus List Of Complaints That Did Not Make It Into The Episode But Should Have:

  • The music is bleh nothing to the point of being terrible
  • YOUR RUN SPEED IS SO SLOW I might have actually said this in the episode but I'm repeating it here.
  • I can't believe we have to type the safe codes into the safe EVERY SINGLE TIME
  • If I have to do the billiards puzzle ONE MORE TIME
  • Why is every little cutscene 1-2 seconds longer than it should be

If Gary edited this one this would probably be a nicer episode description but they didn't so it isn't. TOO BAD, BLUE PRINCE!

In this episode: betrayal-on-the-house-on-the-hill-alikes, walk speeds, dark rooms, escape room games and escape rooms, trading notes, chess, worldbuilding?, grand unified theory of roguelikes, the joy of notetaking. Also: Oblivion.

Minecraft (2009/2025): Gary, Why Don't You Like Minecraft?10 Apr 202501:46:37

What the heck is left to say about "minecraft?". What are we even doing here?

For god's sake, it's so big even microsoft notepad (which has a spellchecker now) knows what minecraft is, inasmuch it wants me to capitalize every instance of the word. I'm manually de-capitalizing this. Capitalization is for corpos, except the title of this episode, becuase while I don't respect trademark laws, I do respect the laws of grammar. Don't at me to tell me minecraft is a proper noun and thus this is actually a law of grammar I'm violating. 

What the heck isn't there to say about Minecraft tm tm tm?

In this episode: it's frigging block game, minecraft versions, talking about talking about minecraft, we are the worst Minecraft coaches, taking off our minecraft cult hats, minecraft as a shared space, finding our roles, eternal games, how to learn minecraft in 2025, oh lord please help us it's the minecraft movie.

Nine Sols (2024): Why Didn't You Parry It?06 Mar 202501:41:42

You have to admire and respect games that are willing to be themselves so strongly that they turn people off. Nine Sols is willing to give you just a little bit of a hand (amazing difficulty sliders), but if that can't get you over the hump - all of its worldbuilding and art and laser-tight combat just aren't for you. Nine Sols' purity of will is so strong, it can even parry you

In this episode: Nerts! NES difficulty, eventually every piece of video game criticism will devolve into pointing at dark souls and grunting, backtracking, being fundamentally broken, just parry it, taopunk, apemen, fucked up projects, you do not, in fact, have to hand it to Goumang, feather gets oneshot by a cutscene because she was too busy being a simp, we fail to understand Tao, NERTS TIME, wait actually we weren't done talking about Nine Sols, NERTS TIME FOR REAL, we will never finish this podcast, MORE NERTS.

El Paso Elsewhere (2022): When Is He Gonna Start Rapping?20 Feb 202501:19:38

Strange Scaffold's I Am Your Beast made several of our GOTY lists, with good reason. This game feels like a prototype to that, trading Beast's frenetic relentless energy for a drawn out character study. It's not a very good trade, but seeing the strange scaffolding built up in El Paso Elsewhere to later enable Beast is at the very least fascinating. At the very least, you have to respect the art and swagger!

In this episode: wait a minute - I hate Strange Scaffold, I Am Your Beast, wildly divergent game understandings, dives, rolls, and diverolls, enemy types, pill cop, slow mo makes pistols better, elevator names, another game ground down by the podcast mill, horrible people and the things they do to each other.

GOTY 2024: Would You Go To Sweden For A Podcast?10 Jan 202501:51:58

We are all so eternally grateful that so many of you have stuck with us through the past year, despite the end of blaseball and the shift from ICB to Infinite Cities, it's thanks to listeners like y'all that we keep doing this. And yeah, sure, we'd probably still be friends and we'd probably still keep playing games if the podcast didn't exist, but it's all because of your suggestions and recommendations and conversations that spin out of the games we play that motivate each and every one of us to keep going week to week. We played over 40 different games for the podcast this year, and we've gone through so much, from little gems like Little Kitty, Big City and Jusant to big fun romps like Hi-Fi Rush or Pokemon Emerald. And who could forget the Month of Ghost Trick, which never would have happened without your imput. It delights me that this project is still going; here's to 2025!

 

in this episode: goty awards, the big countdown, karp doesn't get to go, honorable mentions, karp's confidence, the objectively number one best game of the year, feather's travel go-fuck-yourselves, orbulon, chris likes sweden, world of volvo, bird day

Infinity Nikki (2024): What's Your Podcasting Outfit?19 Dec 202401:37:01

Just finished editing this episode! Time to switch from my editing outfit (stylish cyan and blue headphones, soft hoodie with waveform motif, loose cargo pants, audio cables worn as loose necklaces, audio mixer worn on my belt as an accessory, laptop bag, color-coordinated athletic shoes, cropped but fluffy hair) to my copywriting outfit (thick glasses, woven cardigan, quill pin hairclip, cursive-inspired swirl earrings, long soft blue ponytail, letter print dress, practical navy heels)

WAIT MOMO PUT DOWN THE CAMERA I'M STILL CHANGING

In this episode: over-tutorialization, writing chops, genshin, my running around town outfit is different from my running around just-outside-of-town outfit, can we do over meeting for the first time I wasn't dressed nice enough, critically acclaimed mmorpg dress up game FFXIV, getting into dark patterns (and not dark sewing patterns), collectathons, momovision, being too jaded, we are not immune to propaganda.

I Am Your Beast (2024): Why Doesn't A GAU-7 Count As A Handgun?12 Dec 202401:09:15

Headshot x4 [-0.5s]
Banger Soundtrack [-0.8s]
Sweet Hitmarkers [-0.5s]
Solid VO [-0.4s]
Neat 2 Hour Runtime [-1.0s]
Final Rank: S

I Am Your Beast slaps you in your face and doesn't really stop. It's a perfect two hour shooter, contained perfectly in its runtime. All the speed of Neon White, with none of the anime. It's great. You gotta play it.

In this episode: strange scaffold, cinematic typography (sic), this game is too good to stay on topic, HE'S STICK WIELDING, speedrunning games, pistol hitboxes, the surprise spoiler onion, brevity and hypothetical runtimes, liveplaying the installer of the next game.

In this episode: moving the grid, can't pick up anything, stealing Gary's last name, game so demanding it crashes your phone /j, cancel the horse, killing all the birds on twitter, playing a lot of games in a year makes it hard to decide a top 5, huh?

In space, no one can tell you how your wrenches should look... Except for Feather, who hates wrenches /j

We're tackling an excellent immersive sim that got overlooked by many when it came out, and we recommend that you do too. It's Prey (2017) (no relation to Prey (2006) (other than it was supposed to be a sequel)).

CW: there's some food talk in the postpod

In this episode: designer wrenches, push the fat guy, what if this was a roguelike, the thing that goes "whoomp" over and over, turrets are my friend, person who has only played Void Bastards: this reminds me of Void Bastards.

Death's Door (2021): Are Shiny Things Not Enough?09 Nov 202401:30:08

Is it enough to be quietly good?

If a game drops no notes and has no flaws, how can you hate it? Perhaps more importantly: you play as a bird, how the eff does Feather hate this one?

(One: I promise it's strictly coincidence all the bird games are also the best games. I have no bias here. Also: I disliked fall of porcupine, so nyeh)

(Two: I don't even hate this one! This is a perfectly fine game! That's the point!)

Anyway, Death's Door is cute and smooth and fun and it even has a tab for shiny things you find and collect and there's cute plants that follow you around and that's good enough. Probably.

It's not like you only have a limited amount of time on this earth.

What? You didn't make a contract with the Lord of Doors?

Well.

That changes things then.

In this episode: DEATH, tunics, uniqueness, dodge rolls, soul counting, modern game design, rock bag at the gift store, science, lil plant friends, story spoilers, hookshot mechanics, it's a fine game, your first video game, Devolver digital, being piloted by a squid.

Still Wakes the Deep (2024): Is This Game Too Muscly?31 Oct 202401:44:41

It's Halloween week, and in an attempt to be spooky, we chose to play a spooky game about a man on an oil rig in the middle of the North Sea in the 70s. Some spooky shit happens. And everyone except Gary noped out at the first stealth section. Of course, instead of being scared, I cried, so y'know, you win some, you lose some. 

 

in this episode: spooky vibes, oil rigs, walking sims, yellow paint, a gooey guy, different flavors of phobia, being scared, being spooky, being scottish, phenomenal voice acting, a different kind of fleshy, get to the choppa', a beeg sluggy man, finley's mistake, gary cries on the pod (again), questioning horror expectations

vivid/stasis (2023*): Have You Been Recommended "Breakcore Mix To Disassociate To"?24 Oct 202401:19:03

vivid/stasis mentionnnnnnnnnnnn

For a game that was recommended in the comments of a mostly/unrelated meme, this was actually a pretty/banger game. Kind/of. It's definitely a peak rhythm game, with great tracks, great maps, and simple mechanics used extremely interestingly.

Unfortunately, that's not all that's here.

Also: this one's more of a sickos mode than anything because feather hogged the entire game to herself :3 clocking a dumbass 17 hours in over the course of the week! Let that be a review and/or warning!

Join us next week as we play Still Wakes The Deep!

In this episode: other rhythm games, this game is for sickos, the strangest first song, bumper breakdown, enter the node flowchart, difficulty and accessibility options, mind-altering effects, begrudgingly: the visual novel, waking up and choosing violence, not for casuals, trying to unpack the story, interesting ambition and fascinating failures.

Chants of Sennaar (2023): What's UpPeople?04 Oct 202402:15:09

Have you ever played the tutorial of a game and gone, "damn, this is gonna slap?" Chants of Sennaar pulls off a magic trick right from the jump, not only inviting the player to manually type in what they think a symbol might mean in a language they cannot understand, but also providing a generous mechanic for the player to "lock in" the correct definition to help with future puzzles. It's a mechanic Feather deliberately avoided participating in, and, she might have been right?

 

in this episode: language is fascinating, will takes on languages, stupid feather bullshit, stealth sections, note taking, an amalgamation of words, nuance in language, the place of up, a perfectly cromulent sentence, a super rosetta stone, the end of the onion, feather's hubris, so many apples

Drill Dozer (2006): Did The UI Need To Be That Big?26 Sep 202400:55:39

gear one: drill dozer is one of many games that have charm and execution and cool mechanics but in the end was largely neglected and forgotten because it released after its console's successor was released. like second-greatest nes platformer ever kirby's adventure, this used the console's capabilities to the absolute max - and then some, bolting on a rumble pack to push the tiny little handheld even further.

HIYA! Second Gear! Drill Dozer is an extinct kind of game, the perfect Jank-Ass Platformer that would live in the back of your game case and you'd return to over and over for years, full of secrets and cool mechanics and some genuinely bad parts that don't matter so much when you can skip around the level select looking for that last unexplored area.

HIYA! THIRD GEAR: DRILL DOZER IS A GAME THAT GOES BRRRRRRRRR WHEN YOU SHIFT INTO THIRD GEAR IT IS LARGER THAN ITS TINY HANDHELD HOST AND ALL IS FORGIVEN ONCE YOU START CRUSHING ENEMIES AND PRICELESS ANCIENT ARTIFACTS UNDERNEATH YOUR MIGHTY DRILL

In this episode: The trouble with shoulder buttons, puzzle platformers, golf platforming, the absolute pure power and bliss of shifting up to third gear, big dick truckin,  will time travels, stories from the final boss, putting the game in context (next to shitass movie tie in cashgrabs)

Pokemon Emerald (2004): Is This The Best Pokemon Or Were You Just Fourteen?19 Sep 202400:52:08

Sometimes, it's okay to give into nostalgia. Let the bitcrunched trumpets and adorable sprites take you back to your childhood, away to a world full of potential, one full of exciting people and wonder and amazing critters who you can love and travel with and villains who want to kill everyone but are still easily defeatable by fourteen year olds.

In this ep, we speculate what happened to pokemon. Honestly, I'm not sure anything happened to it - I think that instead, something happened to us. I think we grew up, and the world grew up with us. There's no point wondering what's out beyond that horizon - we have maps, and wikis, and know there are exactly 1,025 pokemon but only 653 are in Pokemon Violet if you have all the DLCs. I don't think there's room for the antics of team rocket or team magma. I think we're all just out here, looking for a chance to feel the same way we did when we took our first steps out into that tall grass, not knowing what we were going to find.

It's a lot to expect for a little game, but maybe, this one is enough for us.

In this episode: I'M GOING TO WIN THE MOON THATS RIGHT OBAMA MY POKEMON IS SO CUTE I WON THE MOOOON, we are not pokemon experts, why does no one care what a temtem is, feather spends like ten minutes explaining pokemon contests, current lineups, catching raltz live, i heard u lik mudkipz, feeling old.

Superliminal (2019): Would You Drink The Giant Soda?05 Sep 202400:53:11

If you die in the dream you die in real life. Only you can't die in this dream. Just pick up cans and chess pieces and put them down again. And walk on cheese wedges. It's a great game.

In this episode: No Will, worse Portal, looking at things from a new angle, soup minute, infinity mirrors, domino doors, playing with expectations, sudden change in what the next game will be.

Jusant (2023): What's The Worst You've Gotten Stuck?29 Aug 202401:00:52

Jusant, a French word which translates to the English word "ebb" aka the movement of the tide out to sea. The ocean has receeded, bit by bit, until nothing was left but the Great Basin. And emerging from that basin, one valiant climber and their adorable little guy. Where are they going? Why are they going? What's even up there? Who knows! Find out with Karp, Will, and Gary as we travel up The Tower!

 

in this episode: no feather, climbing buttons, a desert full of boats, the bestest little guy, gary's folly, an indominable sense of scale, a culture built on climbing, this game needs a photo mode, getting stuck, missing collectibles, its fuckin wimdy, it's a cover climber, ballasts, Will gets stuck, the final tower
