Video Game Sexy

We're back after a bit of a hiatus talking all about our thoughts on Deathloop, Crab Game, arcade rhythm games, Chicory, and more.

This week we talk more Dyson Sphere Program and just a tad bit more Runescape. . Blake played through 12 minutes and has some choice words for that game. But before that we reminisce about our favorite RTS games and what makes them so great to us. We also gush about Ocarina of Time Randomizers, and Brad's finished There Is No Game so the VGS crew preps for a rap battle in our full spoiler section.

Brad plays Runescape.

We give our opinions on this year's E3/Summer Games Fest lineup and talk all about Knockout City. Nothing has ever brought back Middle School ptsd as much as this game.

This week Brad and Blake talk about Gauntlet and co-op experiences like it. Blake finished Resident Evil 8 and gives his thoughts on its ending and Ethan Winters being stupid dumb. We also discuss There Is No Game, which Blake started recently, which leads to giving some thoughts on the pros and cons of meta-games. We also discuss how video games were a way to socialize, meet, and interact with kids our age in middle and high school, and how parents just don't get it. Let me play League of Legends all night, mom I'm gonna go pro soon.

Brad and Blake talk all about the Hooters of Video Games this week, bars with cosplayers as the bartenders and what that means for gamers looking for that special lady. Brad's been playing Immortals Fenyx Rising, and oh boy Zeus has got some zingers in it. We knew the Greek Gods were hot, but we didn't know they were so quirky??? Blake picked up the Ratchet and Clank remake to prepare for the new one, and continues to jump between Mass Effect and Resident Evil 8. 

Blake's played a lot more of Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, and we both talk about our first experiences playing Mass Effect and discovering the Citadel. We also discuss choking hazards for children and how close we have come to death in our own lives. But the bulk of this week was taken up by our full spoilery discussion of Outer Wilds. We have thoughts on our place in the Universe, and how the game is so good at making you feel smart.

More and more Outer Wilds chat this week as Brad makes his way through the game. But first we discuss the Saints Rowification of Saints Row 4, and Blake talks about his experience with Resident Evil VIIage and compares it to the atmosphere that RE 7 created. Move out of the way Merchant, cause the Duke's here to take control.

Brad and Blake get into a productive discussion about practices of the Sacrament in church, and come up with some ways that might make it more exciting for newer audiences. Blake's severely affected by the spookiness of Resident Evil 7 while prepping for Village next week. Brad regales us with stories from his unique first hours of Outer Wilds and the adventures that come along with it. We also talk about the Thousand Year Door, seventy dollar games, the upcoming Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and more.

Blake's confused about where Jak and Daxter are in the new Jak and Daxter: Rift Apart game, so Brad tries to clear things up for him. Brad acquires brand new cutting edge technology to allow his gamecube gaming to ascend to the next level and we talk all about super monkey ball's rise and fall as well as how indie devs are able to capitalize on nostalgia better than the companies themselves. We share thoughts on Outer Wilds, GRIS, the reported Last of Us Remake, and more.
