Mass Effect (Ep. 2)

And you thought this game was all jank? Honestly, so did many of us... but boy this section might just have turned up the heat. For this section be ready, strap up and strap on because there are decisions a plenty!
Also this week we discuss a possible HD Remaster of the ME series and McCoy weeps when Gabe points out that he will miss out on all the HD sex scenes...

Valorant (Closed Beta) - Side Quest

Come one, come all! James and McCoy have been playing the Valorant closed beta for a couple of weeks now and they have thoughts! So many thoughts. Thoughts on the game, art style, strategy... and even teammates without mics.
 
What a fascinating new player in the Esports space. Has Riot done it again? Honestly, they just might have.

Mass Effect (Ep. 1)

I guess if we have nothing better to do than sit around for the next couple months... we might as well take another deep dive into video game history with Mass Effect. Woah. What have we signed ourselves up for?
Joining us this time around (for the whole series!?!?!?!?!!? only schedules will tell) is our expert Nintendo and Mass Effect correspondent Matt... and... you?

Year Walk

This week we finally bend down to the will of large corporations and play a game recommended by none other than Mama Steam, Year Walk. An interactive art/game experience exploring Swedish folklore. 
 
We also talk about how people who play Quidditch in real life still can't fly on brooms and disgruntled Naughty Dog employees. Enjoy!

Downfall

This week we prepare ourselves for the Mass Effect saga by... playing some smaller games! Namely Downfall, the sequel (????) to The Cat Lady by Harvester Games. Also this week we try to talk about Mount and Blade II (which basically James saw on stream once and that's about it) and a new XCOM game?
Will Downfall this win this year's Most Cat Lady award? I don't know. Seems like a safe early contender though.

Quarantine Block Deliberations

And now for something a little different. This episode we sit down to strategize for what our podcast looks like during quarantine (or at least for the next 8 weeks). If you like getting a bit of a behind the scenes sneak peek at our organization, enjoy! If not, I'll see you for Downfall coming up next week!
 
Take care of yourselves.

Also this week we talk about the recent Valorant beta key craze and yes it takes us 45 minutes. What's it to ya?

World War Z

This week we played World War Z after it was free on the Epic Store. Oh, and we talk about Valorant for 20 minutes then refuse to stop referencing it throughout the rest of the show.
