Interactive Distractions

The road to 1000 begins... now. Geoff's black, blue, and red all over. Jason spends five minutes in heaven. And Chris brandishes the blade. All this and more. Tune in!

It only took like 17 years, but we finally hit episode 500! That's a long time and a lotta episodes. In this one, Geoff enters the fog in Silent Hill 2, Jason's playing a Metroidvania with guns. and Chris finds himself back in Beat Saber. Also, our backlogs for the year. And lots of listener feedback. Whether you're new or been here since day one, thanks for joining us for Episode 500!

We're down a couple guys, but Glenn comes in all clutch-like. Jason's guilty of existing, Glenn's working on his backlog, and Chris is chuckin' shields all over the place.

We've been distracted by video games and video game adjacent things. But mostly video games. Jason talks Nine Sols (is it a Jason Game?), Geoff has been messing around in the cloud, and Chris beat a backlog game!

Chris ain't afraid of no ghost, Geoff is really enjoying Dragon Age, and Jason tries out a few recent remasters.

Geoff beat Metaphor... BUT AT WHAT COST?!? Chris is still plugging along as well. And Jason has Show and Tell!

And we're back! Jason and Chris have been spending some time taming the wilds in Monster Hunter, Geoff is still on that Metaphor grind, and we add another Jason Game to The List of Jason Games.

Jason wades into the deep end of Steam Next Fest demos, Geoff and Chris are still making Metaphor happen. The Xbox Partner Showcase happened and we've got out impressions on what's to come. All this and we announce our next Question of the Week! Show Notes: 00:00 - Start 02:31 - Jason (Steam Demos, Retro Halloween Game) 15:51 - Geoff (Metaphor, Darksiders 2) 21:57 - Chris (Metaphor, Zelda) 45:38 - Xbox Partner Showcase Discussion 56:55 - QOTW Announcement 58:58 - Sign-Off

We're all playing (and loving) Metaphor so far, but will we stick with it? Geoff unleashes his spirit animal with the Diablo expansion, and Jason breezes through the demo for a highly anticipated game.   Show Notes: 00:00 - Start 01:04 - Jason 02:38 - Geoff 10:10 - Chris 14:24 - Metaphor: ReFantazio 31:33 - Diablo Expansion 35:13 - Windblown Demo 39:59 - Zelda 40:31 - Halo News 43:40 - Red Dead Redemption Re-Release 49:52 - Nintendo Alarm Clock 59:29 - See Ya

Jason (kind of) conquers his anxiety and plays SF6 online (kind of), Geoff finished the Starfield DLC, and Chris is still playing the new Zelda. We've also got some listener questions to get to--there's some good discussion!
