Hosting podcast Spotify for Podcasters
A one-game-at-a-time deep dive show. We take a game, spoil its plot, and get deep into the weeds debating random aspects of it, just like you would with your book club friends. In Season 5 we are exploring AAA games and what that term means. We try to keep it friendly to people who haven't played the games.

Baldur's Gate 3 — Mile Wide, Inch Deep (AAA in 2025: Awards & Expectations)

Season 5 · Episode 3

lundi 5 mai 2025Duration 02:27:52

We break the hearts of fandom as we are baffled by the rampaging success of Baldur's Gate 3, an interesting game made of many spectacular details that don't cohere for us into something that we like playing - a game whose reception and accolades led us to be very confused: "It's all informed by the next sentence you don't get to pick."

Part 2 in our evolving series of wrestling with understanding the inherent appeal of all-consuming and frictional media objects.

Cyberpunk 2077 — Singleplayer Live Services (AAA in 2025: Fidelity & Launch)

Season 5 · Episode 2

jeudi 10 avril 2025Duration 03:32:27

We continue our investigation of what big-budget gaming means with one of the titans of AAA graphical fidelity, marred by a rocky launch. Yet, after 4 years, the game captivates us all. Was it all the dollars spent on Polish demoscene graphics programmers, fantastic voice acting, and Studio Trigger tie-ins?

Indika: How not to be a nun

Season 4 · Episode 4

lundi 1 juillet 2024Duration 01:58:34

We question the voice in our head during a surrealist existentialist Siberian adventure about faith and relationships, full of a lot of interesting and satisfying mechanics. This game has it all!

Pixel Array IV (ft. Chess for Idiots, The Thaumaturge, Red Dead Redemption 2, and more!)

mardi 28 mai 2024Duration 01:52:20

We slay a major white whale.

Balatro: Solitaire-y Runs 🃏

We are gripped by poker-solitaire fever.

VR DJing, racing sims, Persona 5, Jett: The Far Shore, Foam Stars — Pixel Array III

lundi 1 avril 2024Duration 02:06:59

Automobilista 2, Assetto Corsa, Hotshot Racing, Vampire Survivors, Windy Meadow - a Roadwarden Tale, Slay the Princess, Jett: The Far Shore + Given Time, Foam Stars, Persona 5, virtual reality DJing feat. Vinyl Reality and Tribe XR, Killer Frequency

The Talos Principle 2: Megastructures and Philosophy

Season 4 · Episode 2

lundi 18 mars 2024Duration 02:40:15

We regale in deep philosophy and fantastic Yugoslav architecture.

Forza Motorsport: Criticism Chicane

Season 4 · Episode 1

lundi 5 février 2024Duration 01:55:43

We aim to hit the best line of loving Forza without comparing to Gran Turismo, but end up off-track.

Pixel Array II (ft. Playdate & 2023 GOTYs)

mercredi 3 janvier 2024Duration 01:47:52

A celebration of the Playdate, as well as some retrospectives on 2023.

We take a new approach to reviewing the year, with 6 categories of highlights and a look to the year ahead. Some of what we mentioned: Saturday Edition, Crankin's Time Travel Adventure, Forza Motorsport, Talos Principle 2, Chants of Sennaar, Marvel's Spider-Man 2, Tinykin, Super Mario Brothers Wonder, Jusant, Red Dead Redemption 2, Cities Skylines 2, and Baldur's Gate 3.

Alan Wake 2: Postmodernism 101

Season 3 · Episode 13

mardi 5 décembre 2023Duration 02:32:31

We attempt to fit Alan Wake 2 in the Alan-Wake-2-shaped-hole in Nate's heart labeled "POSTMODERN MEDIA THEORY".
