Episode 35: Do You Like Scary Video Games?

Season 1 · Episode 35

vendredi 3 novembre 2023Duration 55:39

Welcome back to the Kotaku Australia Podcast for Episode 35! It was Halloween when Emily and I recorded this episode, and we used it as an opportunity to talk about some of our favourite scary games, including Amnesia and Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem!

Meanwhile, I've been playing Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and I'd like to yell about how good it is for a bit. Thank you for indulging me.

A bit of a sad announcement: though the show concludes with Emily and saying we'll see you next week, it turns out we won't. This is the final episode of The Kotaku Australia Podcast. Our aural experiment has come to an end -- for now. We have plans to create more video and pod content in the future, but for now, we are putting this particular project to bed. Where will be pop up next? Who knows.

This feed will be come an archive of every episode of the show, and we may update it from time to time in the future when we have an interview or review we feel is podcast worthy.

Thank you for listening, for watching, for reviewing, for telling your friends about our show. We're grateful and we've loved making it for you.

See you round, Space Cowboy.
