Assorted news and events updates for our studio as of April 2022: Wagoncon! Let’s plays! Youtube podcasts! And More!
Today we’re talking about “survival” video games and why we play them. More specifically, we’re looking at the kinds of games where you have to hunt, craft, and fight to survive in a harsh setting that’s trying to kill you.
What began as our “February Book Club” is now wrapped up in this episode (totally released on time thanks to the magical science of imaginative revisionist history!). If you haven’t read this book yet, but you plan to, don’t listen to this episode yet! If you have, or you are not planning to, give us a listen and then post your own comments in our Discord. And thanks for joining the fun!
Wagoncon is BACK, baby! Our favorite convention is back from the ashes, having weathered the COVID pandemic lockdown storm and come back with a gusto. We’ll be attending it this coming May, and in this episode we’re talking about why you should too!
Today we’re talking about SQUIRRELS. Okay not really, but sorta maybe? We’re talking about what it’s like being a gamer with ADHD, and how it impacts our ability to play our favorite games with our favorite peoples. Half of our crew has this affliction, and we share our own stories[…]
Today we talk about one of Palladium’s more unexpectedly popular game titles, Dead Reign. Both of us somehow missed out on this game when it launched, so we had to grab copies to see what all the excitement was about. There is a lot of good stuff here!
It’s time for another look at the character classes of Rifts, this time with the Operator as the subject of our focus. This rugged post-apoc mechanic is a staple of many great and effective Rifts parties, and we’re gonna tell you why, including a comparison between the Butts and the Ultimate editions’ versions.
So you failed to follow our advice in the previous episode and now you have the worst hangover ever. Serves you right. Now listen to us talk about how to not do that again. Hangovers suck, we all have them, so let’s drink more to forget them.
Our dive into the long-running Rifter periodical continues with a look at Rifter #6. This one is packed with goodies, including the first of a short series of comics by Palladium great, Ramon Perez! Give us a listen and then share your thoughts on our Discord server!
