Back to full strength as Pawel returns from wandering around in the countryside with his laptop! We begin with some video games chat, starting with Mirror's Edge Catalyst before moving on to new rogue-like game Lost Sea and the real-time strategy game Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak (with excellent pronunciation). We also have a brief chat about Rocket League, in particular playing it while drunk and the ranking system. The tabletop section sees us return to playing Fantasy Flight's board game Star Wars Imperial Assault, and then Pawel enlightens us about his perceived flaws in the 5th edition of the Shadowrun role-playing game. Enjoy!
023.5- FREE VIDEO GAMES (EPISODE)
A bonus video games episode, and we won't even ask you to pay for it! In this episode, Euan talks at length about Dragon Quest IX and Dragon Quest in general, while Chris talks about the new console version of one of his most played PC games 7 Days to Die, updates us on his continuing journey through The Solus Project, and also chats about Shadowrun Dragonfall, one of the installments of the newer Shadowrun series. Also, we have an announcement about the podcast's upcoming FIRST BIRTHDAY!
023- THE TASTIEST OF MINSTRELS, WITH UNDEAD VIKING
For the first time in this podcast's history, we have a special guest on the show! Lance Myxter, aka UndeadViking, from Tasty Minstrel Games joins the lads for a bumper board games episode. Our main games up for discussion and review are Keyflower, Viticulture, and Tasty Minstrel's latest Kickstarter Yokohama, but we also touch on many, many other games, including Time Stories, Defenders of the Last Stand, Battlestar Galactica, Shadowrun Crossfire, Guilds of London, and even some Dungeons & Dragons/Pathfinder chat. Also expect the most tangential show to date, with us wandering off to discuss such important matters as the Atari 2600, holding gaming grudges for decades, hiding Pawel in the attic, and an unexpectedly long chat about Game of Thrones. All in all it's an excellent conversational episode, give it a listen!
