The Nextlander Podcast 173: Consider Duck Hunt
🕑 Added 2024-10-30 23:48:29 +0000 UTCThey did it: they shipped a new Dragon Age game, and we grapple with this momentous event, along with the definitive end of Concord and Firewalk Studios, a disappointing decision from the US Copyright Office about old game access. Plus, our thoughts on Echo Point Nova, the Vampire Survivors Castlevania DLC, Sonic x Shadow Generations, the Shadows of the Damned remaster, our group-pizza dealbreakers, and plenty more!

this intro is hitting differently after the election … really does feel like the before times this week has been a year

Any chance of y'all playing the new Life is Strange on stream? One of my favorite series was when y'all played the first one with Austin.

I occasionally revisit that last Def Jam video if I want to remember the shift from the before times, along with Steve Austin showing up on Raw for 3/16 day to an empty arena. Glad we eventually resolved that Def Jam cliffhanger on that dying Xbox.

Wow, as brought up on this week's Giant Bombcast, there are people sending the same emails here and there. Nothing inherently wrong, just annoying.

Silent Hill 3 is actually narratively tied to 1 in a pretty big wah. You can still play & enjoy 3 without having played 1, but it's more directly tied whereas 2 is completely standalone. 4 is tied to 2 in some weird & interesting ways. Also, Silent Hill is narratively VERY serious compared to Resident Evil. If RE is a lot of B-movie camp horror, Silent Hill is a psychological mindfuck in the vein of David Lynch or David Cronenberg, Jacob's Ladder is a direct influence on the whole series.
