BLGP EP 458: Bomb Rush Cyberfunk Been a busy week here at the Fortress of Darkness, and some kind of weather is rumoured soon. Meanwhile, I spent the whole fucking week playing "Baldur's Gate 3," so this week, a handful of games I haven't played - along with a "Jet Set/Grind(?) Radio" spiritual sequel ("Bomb Rush Cyberfunk"). Our offerings are rounded out by a slasher survival horror franchise adaptation ("Texas Chainsaw Massacre"), and even a racing game you can attempt to play for free all weekend! ALL THIS AND MOAR!

This week, we clear the deck to talk about some game called "Baldur's Gate 3." These detailed first impressions are absolutely spoiler free, in the off chance that some listeners might want to play it. To paraphrase the game, "Oh! Do please resist my generous offer; avail yourself of every opportunity, exhaust every potential, chase down and make certain that all competitors ultimately go to ground, evaporating in fantasy. And then, when you have for so long whittled at the bone of hope that you scarcely notice your blade has long begun to carve the fruitless marrow of your own despair... then I will be waiting to hear you beg to accept."

This week, we present to you our shortest and best episode ever: in only 10 minutes, we will cover: our rad new machine, “Star Wars: Jedi Survivor” DEATH WAITS IN “DARKEST DUNGEON II” and in under 10 minutes we will cover: Injuries, PC Design Philosophies and in under 10 minutes Undisputed's enormous update, all this and in under 10 more minutes, so much more! -Ivor Molina

AI4ALL. Website to follow shortly. This is my rough pitch; refinement is needed, but this is the whole deal. Hit me up @vegaswriter if you want to talk. It is time we gather and ensure this transformational tech isn't withheld by the hands of the few who will ravenously distort it and enslave us all in the process. Cheers.

Thought it would never come to this but here we are, back again. Suck it. Next week? I unveil EXCALIBUR.

Emergency episode of the podcast as we are without a computer. Please blame Ivor. Listen in for our frustrated thoughts on “Dredge,” and the ongoing saga of why/when we might have a computer again in the studio. All this and MOAR,.,,

As promised, we return this week with a "what it feels like" feature of the excellent "Meet Your Maker," a game that will make you addicted to your own death, and horny for the deaths of those who would seek to do unto you as you have done unto them.
