| Bad End 26: House Flipper, Detroit: Become Human, Fortnite, The Witcher 3 | 31 May 2018 | 01:13:51 | |
In this episode, we make the crucial mistake of asking: "Why do we play videogames?" It's clearly not for competent social commentary, as Detroit: Become Human shows us. It's not necessarily for compelling experiences, as House Flipper shows us. And it might not necessarily be to choose-our-own adventures, as The Witcher 3 shows us. Join us in BAD END 26 as we wrestle with (and ultimately fail to) come to terms with all these questions and more. 2:30 - House Flipper Intro/Outro music is TABOO by Seiho Check out our merch on the merch tab at the top of our site: badendpodcast.com BAD END is proud to be part of SUPERCULTURE, a network of podcasts and websites dedicated to the underobserved.

New week, new idols to burn to the ground. Josh thinks strategy games are for egomaniacs, Caty trash talks the Walking Dead, and Kyle criticizes the original Star Wars films. We also got some reader mail and took the opportunity to criticize nerd culture, which is proving to be one of our favorite hobbies. 1:34 - Frostpunk (do strategy games suck?)

Upon learning that Kyle has never heard of Tyler "Ninja" Blevins, arguably THE most popular gamer of our time, we had to grill him about it. But that's not until the second half - before that, we discuss Sea of Thieves and ~monetization, as well as the lasting appeal of PUBG in the BR zeitgeist. Final note: If you're a streamer listening to this... don't do racial slurs on stream anymore lol 6:03 - Sea of Thieves Intro/Outro music is TABOO by Seiho Check out our merch on the merch tab at the top of our site: badendpodcast.com BAD END is proud to be part of SUPERCULTURE, a network of podcasts and websites dedicated to the underobserved.

We've seen the new Zelda trailers and are hyped for the possibilities. Not so keen on a Resident Evil remake being the big seller once again this year, though. But maybe perma-deja vu's not so bad?

God we hope you feel strongly about walking simulators cuz we GO IN on them this episode, specifically in the context of The Fullbright Company's new joint TACOMA. Is the genre outdated?

Holy crap ok so we're back and there's a lot to talk about. This episode we straight-up talk for two hours: about games (ofc), the disintegration of "indie," games media, online content, zone-out games, videogames as shareable works, and a bunch of other stuff that I can't even think of off the top of my head.

We're back from a hiatus and joined by Polygon's Toussaint Egan to discuss the miserable state of game design via the new hot Steam hit V Rising, the recursive present and "cancelled" future, and a bunch of different anime series, including beloved classics such as Naruto and My Dress-Up Darling.

| Elden Ring | 10 Mar 2022 | 02:26:54 | |
Elden Ring has been out for a minute, and we spend the entirety of this episode digesting it. From conversations about the baroque inspirations behind its arc, to discourse around accessibility, to a few surprising turns in the game's George R. R. Martin-tinged localization, we dive deep into what's likely to become one of our top games of 2022.

| Lethal Company, Cocoon, 13 Sentinels, Silent Hill 2, Astrea | 01 Dec 2023 | 01:26:33 | |
Keeping it chill with some warm-to-spiced takes as we ramp up for the GOTY roasts that are sure to come. Starting with the asymmetrical hijinks of Lethal Company, the somewhat unsatisfying puzzles of otherwise-vibey-as-hell Cocoon, and 13 Sentinels, which I immediately regret having missed a couple years ago.

| Vampire Survivors, Pokemon Legends Arceus, Sifu | 24 Feb 2022 | 01:27:15 | |
Let's be real, the first banger of the year (until Elden Ring) is/was Vampire Survivors, despite being a 3-dollar dodge-em-up that feels like a bastard child that could've come straight out of the Facebook ad-driven mobile shovelware camp. And yet, here we are in BAD END 112, praising it as one of the best games of the episode. Also included: the Eldritch Papers Please-ian plant identification simulator Strange Horticulture, and the lightly satisfying, heavily cringey brawler Sifu.

| Ultrakill, Ender Lilies, SOMA, Legion TD 2 | 27 Jan 2022 | 01:42:38 | |
Happy 2022 Gamers! It might be low season, but we're playing through some backlog games and some Steam top sellers to deliver you prime video game content. On the slate we've got the apparent GOAT contender SOMA (which we've just gotten around to), a latecomer for goty 2021 consideration in Ultrakill, the weeby moving wallpaper-esque Ender Lilies, and hardcore WC3 mod throwback Legion TD 2. We also discuss the prevailing perception of "quality" in games and how that interferes with good criticism, as well as important questions like: why doesnt steam have incognito mode yet??

| Game Of The Year Awards 2021 | 16 Dec 2021 | 02:40:26 | |
It's a wrap on yet another year, and what better way to wrap 2021 than by gathering with friends and breaking down the many games and trends that kept us going this year? Sure there weren't many real Greats to speak of, but we looped through time and commiserated with online friends and saw glimpses of a couple genres at their best. So grab a glass'a 'nog, pull up a chair by the fire, and shoot the breeze about some good old videogames.
