Join Ellie May and Phil as they talk about the perfect combination that is the horror video game. Nothing’s off limits, including Alien: Isolation, Resident Evil, and who knows: maybe even Five Nights At Freddie’s. You’ll always have to (get to) listen to them talk movies, relationships, and general…
Ellie May couldn't make it this week, so we snagged Kevin the Arcadologist to talk about the classic 1993 point and click Call of Cthulhu: Shadow of the Comet! Along the way, we talked Control, Fallout 4, and maybe hinted at a game we'll be covering in an upcoming episode.

Join Ellie May and Phil for an evening of beer, 90's hip hop, aliases, and a little indie game called Faith. ...or is it Priest? Or Pray? We'll figure it out. Clips used: "Antichrist" by Lars von Trier "9.95" by Spunkadelic
It's time for some good old-fashioned anthology horror on Playing Dead! Join Ellie May and Phil as they talk about Stories Untold: a retro indie horror puzzle game with twists, turns, and text-based adventures. Come for the game, stay for 9.5 abv beer, impossibly disgusting speculation on reproduction, and all kinds of cool facts and stories.
Possibly one of the best horror games ever made, Alien: Isolation takes your completely natural fear of being eaten by a schlong-headed xenomorph and dances merrily through your psyche with its double-jawed goodness. Oh, this is one we've been waiting for. Come for Alien, stay for discussions on what we're reading, 90's hip hop, and desperate searches for birth certificates.
