The Tyranny of Thumbs

The Ground Gives Way (Or the One Where Zoe Isn't Here)

This week we played The Ground Gives Way. This episode is the equivalent of watching a movie in science class because your teacher was too hungover to teach anything. Sure, it may not have been part of the curriculum but hey how many times since then have you referenced Gattaca to sound smart? I bet you're glad you didn't cut that class!
Also, the astute listener will be able to pick up on the subtle but clear sound of Adam losing all respect for his co-hosts as he realizes that 3/4 people didn't play the tutorial and were wondering why they were lost. Don’t worry though, James “I’m just gunna quit” Herold doesn’t notice it over the faint sound of his keyboard clicking from the run he was in at the time.

Doki Doki Literature Club

This week on... ok we don't have a name yet... what do you think of Bound by Games? Anyways, this week we play Doki Doki Literature Club. The keen listener will be able to discern each host's dating preferences and tendencies by reverse engineering the girls they choose in this dating simulator.
Whether they choose:
Monika, the popular kid organizing the book club who you've always thought was out of your league.
Yuri, a quiet romantic who appreciates the subtlety in the art of writing.
Sayori, your neighbor and close friend since as far as you can remember.
Natsuki, a cutesy but standoffish ("Tsundere" type... what is this pokemon?) who just doesn't see why YOU need to be here at all.
But honestly, once you get to know them all, I think we can all agree there is only one viable choice. Just Monika.
Just Monika.
Just Monika.
Just Monika.
 

The Gardens Between

This week on something that will possibly have a different name... like Save Point Game Club or Checkpoint Game Club... or GamsWithJams... *shudder* we play The Gardens Between. Look out for James who had a bad week and likes to take it out on poor indie/artsy games. Just kidding... but really. Actually though, it wasn't just James.

Tacoma

This week on The Good the Bad and the Indie we explore the age old debate of how many humans can you shove into a room to talk about AI before you start to talk about stuff you don't understand. Hint... we pass that number.

The Beginner's Guide

This week on The Good the Bad and the Indie we explore the inner workings of the critic creator relationship. Both within Davey and Koda but also within ourselves. Look out for Gabe dropping a bombshell halfway through the episode that Davey and Koda are two sides of the same person and observe everyone else slowly trying to wrap their heads around this as the "Correct" interpretation. If you listen closely you can hear the sounds of frustration as people start throwing out their notes.

Starseed Pilgrim

For the first episode of "The Good the Bad and the Indie Bullsh*t Adam Likes" we venture into the endless soundscape of Starseed Pilgrim. Many question their sanity. Some try to run.
