This week Anna & Paul are talking—wait, is that a good name for the episode? I was kinda thinking "Pixels and Personas" but that sounded kinda vague, but maybe it's more mysterious which I think you want for catchy episode titles. Whatever. This week they're talking about Archetypes—first they lay out the different archetypes using pop-culture and words, then they assign the most iconic adventure game characters atheir fitting archetype. It's a little different but a lotta fun, mangia!   Play our adventure game! The Phantom Fellows is out now!

This week Anna & Paul are talking about the most adventurous adventure games! The ones that aren't just an adventure by genre but that make you feel like you're on a grand adventure!

This week Anna & Paul are talking about non-adventure games, for some reason. Oh, Paul was supposed to say, for his first pick, "Astro Chicken" and he formally regrets forgetting this very so-so joke. See cos, that's in an adventure game and so it represents his hesitation to embrace anything outside of the adventure genre.  I'm glad I explained it, it's for sure funnier now. Mangia!   The Phantom Fellows Pin/Magnet by CanvasQuest!   Mac OS9 Emulator (Mac) Mac OS9 Emulator (PC)  Mac System Seven Emulator (Mac) Mac System Seven Emulator (PC)   Play our adventure game!
