Hey Folks! This week we continue to chip away at the massive list of topics from our time off. We start off the show with an adorable Frog version of Vampire Survivors meets Stardew Valley called Pesticide Not Required. From there we talk a bit about Pokemon Go and what it is like playing it with your kids. Ash continues his dive into rhythm games via the Round1 Arcade, this time with Beatmania. Space Marine 2 has been released and a bunch of the folks on the podcast have been playing Multiplayer Co-Op and have some thoughts. Kodra has been playing Tactical Breach Wizards and shares his thoughts about it, and we have some very early preliminary thoughts about the brand-new Zelda game Echoes of Wisdom. Finally, Bel talks a bit about returning to Minecraft during his recent convalescence and how that game feels like chicken soup in gaming form.

Hey Folks! We are down a handful of folks but continue pushing forward. We start off with talking about a world where Arcades did not die out… aka Japan and what the 2020 Covid crisis did to them. This leads to a discussion about playing DDR and similar rhythm games at home. From there Bel talks about the upcoming update to Last Epoch where they are doing a mid-cycle reset and some of the reasons why this is happening. Ammo talks about her experiences returning to Guild Wars 2 and Bel shares his frustrations about how obtuse the achievement system is when it comes to trying to find the major unlocks and legendary crafts. Bel also questions whether or not Twitch Drops work, which Kodra refutes with his personal experience. Lastly, we talk a bit about Visions of Mana the fifth official game in the Mana Series.

This week was one of those shows when I was not entirely certain we had enough material. Yet in spite of that… we once again ran over our intended hour-long recording time. We start off the show with Ash engaging in some Bel-like mechanical nonsense and attempting to repurpose a dedicated dance pad into something more universal. From there we dive into some discussion about what is going on at Twitter this week and how it feels like somewhere between a guild falling apart and the closing of an MMORPG. Kodra talks about Overhaul… which is a roguelike Sudoku. He completely lost Bel when he got to the Sudoku part. From there we dive into a discussion about how weird and frustrating it can be to come back to a game after being gone for a very long time, and how none of them really do a great job of re-onboarding you.
