A Brief Note from Hat

That's right, Hat had to sneak in one more podcast. Jorbs is our guest on this special episode of Hidden Aspects and he's here to talk about his new book as well as a game that gripped both of us immediately. Orb of Creation was too fun to not talk about, so here we are! The Hidden Aspects feed will remain dormant but present with episodes dropping whenever we can get them made. Stay subscribed! The book: https://www.amazon.com/Before-We-Live-Navigating-Entertainment/dp/1739285905

It's time to wake up the feed for something a little different! Hat and Kite decide to interrupt their busy schedule of talking about Elden Ring around the house to instead talk about Elden Ring into a microphone. If you like general gaming talk and kitchen table banter, definitely tune in - and there are some Hades references too, of course!

It's been a little while - Hat is here to give you an update on the show going forward. For now, the feed will be "on pause" until we get more content lined up going forward. I truly appreciate your support and feel free to ask any questions you have in the discord.

Hades has incredible writing and we need some help to really analyze what's going on - so we bring on our friend Lemon for some aid parsing the story!

Hat was already over on Blood and Talkness, and you should check that out at https://twitter.com/BloodNTalkness if you haven't already - though be warned, it's very much rated R. Here on HA, Satan, Webs, and Wriste come over to hang out and talk about managing the mental state of speedrunning. 

You asked, we answered! The format is the same but the roles are swapped - this time, our host gets interviewed by the talented FlyThatKite to tell you all about his journey with Hades. We had a whole lot of fun with this one.

A fellow content creator and Hearthstone player turned Hades addict joins us this week! ADWCTA is known for his data-driven analysis of... well, any game he gets his hands on, and Hades is no exception. Listen in and learn about a very different approach to playing. 

We're continuing our unplanned miniseries of aspect talk with Beowulf shield, and Tylerhk93 is an expert with many high heat pushes and speedrun times. This is a high-level episode and we get super deep into the details - check it out!

There are few weapons that are as hard to use as Guan Yu. Brain is active in every Hades discord there is and happens to specialize in the weapon - let his soothing voice teach you the ways of the eternal spear. 

We're joined by Conor Kou, designer of the popular Hearthstone Battlegrounds game, and we fly way up to have a super high-level conversation about game design in general and how it relates to Hades!
