The Haps

Hey all!Just wanted to give a brief update about what's going on.First: I just got this in the mail! I just wanted to thank all of you for sticking with the show through thick and thin. This means a lot to me. I know it is in some sense just an arbitrary milestone, but it's a sign of just ho...

Scanner Sombre

Hey all!If you couldn't guess, I'm holding off on that 0451 video until Prey comes out - it didn't seem to make sense to release it with that game on the horizon, so I want to incorporate it in any of my thoughts.In the mean time, here's a mostly spoiler-free (ish?) look at Scanner S...

Mayhap let's have some Discord?

Edit: Not sure what I was thinking; I've updated the link to be a forever-link rather than a 24 hour one. Sorry for the e-mail spam!Original post as follows:So taking after my good friend Mumbles, I've decided to mess with setting up a Discord for my Patrons and a few other peeps. I would no...

Everything

I am not sure whether this episode needed a spoiler warning, so I just sort of put a loose one at the beginning. Still: Everything! A game about all of the things! Pretty neat! And more importantly, closer to on schedule than I've been in a while! Hooray!

Night in the Woods (Spoilers!)

Night in the Woods is a really neat game about being a cat! Also about being a 20-something facing the ennui of being an adult. Also it is about Sharkle, who is the best thing ever.Anyways, I took at look at Night in the Woods, which was a weird game to write about because it's got a ton of stuf...

THOTH (And How I Talk About Games)

So I get into this a little bit in the video, but I've been running behind all month due to various life things (the new job, getting a new dog, and some other personal stuff). That was okay, becasue I was gonna dedicate the last weekend of the month to getting some stuff out there! Then I got a...

Inside Addendum (Spoilers!)

Apparently I forgot to post this when it went online a few weeks ago! So I'm correcting that now in case anyone hasn't seen it. Be warned, there are big spoilers for the entire game throughout the whole video.Anyways, I noticed this when getting ready to post the next little thing, so sorry ...

Inside (Spoilers!)

So originally this month was going to be a Dishonored 2 video, and that kind of fell through because I accidentally ballooned the script out into a giant thing that's gonna take a lot more time. So the good news is we've probably got a bit Looking Glass/0451 retrospective coming our way at s...

Dead Rising 4

Merry Christmas Eve everyone! To celebrate here's perhaps the most Christmassy episode I've done. Well, Christmassy in a Gremlins/Shane Black/Die Hard kinda way. But at there's snow and lights and some santas!Anyways, Dead Rising 4 is a frustrating game. It fixes so much of the tonal pro...

Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor (Spoilers)

Hey all! This time I'm talking about a game where you pick up trash! Sometimes you try to sell it! It's... it's more interesting than that sounds.Anyways, this week I'm looking at Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor! I'll be back soonish with a Christmas themed episode... well, kind o...

Mafia III (Spoilers)

This video took far longer than it probably should have to make, and for that I apologize. It was a fun mix of technical and game design issues, but I can bore you about that later. For now: A new episode is up! Yay!And hopefully now for something a bit shorter, sweeter, and lighter.

Anatomy (Spoilers!)

October continues with what is probably our first (perhaps only?) really scary episode: a look at Kitty Horrorshow's works and Anatomy in particular. I've been a fan of her stuff for a while now, and I wanted to look at why Anatomy stood out as perhaps the most robust of he games I have play...

Oxenfree

The second Halloweeny episode is out! This time it's a mostly spoiler-free look at Oxenfree, an adventure game that mixes spooky ghost stories and young adult fiction.And despite being a cranky 31 year old guy I mostly liked it, so that's gotta be a statement in favor of either me or the gam...

Devil Daggers

I'm kicking off a month of Halloween-y games with Devil Daggers! It's basically Geometry Wars-meets-Quake, and the results are pretty neat!Anyways, I figured that covering a bunch of jump-scare games would get repetitive (and there's like a million YouTube videos on those as it stands) s...

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided

Hey all! This time I wrote a whole lot about Deus Ex: Mankind Divided. The response to this video has been pretty polarized, and I guess it comes off as more harsh than I really intended it to be?Like, there are some games I genuinely dislike for how they engage with their themes - Bioshock Infinit...

No Man's Sky

In this episode I took a look at No Man's Sky! I feel like discussion of the game proper has been lost in the derailment of the hype train and the kerfuffle about whether its marketing was truthful, and I kind of wanted to step back and look at the game as it stands.This episode was also produce...
