The Super Clash Podcast

Connor continues his rant on Dying Light 2, and how it has worsened. After his Halo marathon last year, Kale finally sinks into Halo Infinite. While he agrees the overall gameplay feels like classic Halo, something feels like it's missing in the game, and he can't quite place it. What made the other Halo's memorable while this one will most likely fade away? Merch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/super-clash-store/

Hosts Connor and Kale discuss the issues with the state of Dying Light 2, and the experience of playing Kirby and the Forgotten Land co-op. https://www.bonfire.com/store/super-clash-store/

What happens when you give in to your hyper-fixations? You play the second entry immediately after discussing the first, precisely what Kale has done. Right off the heels of the Dead Space remake, he dusted off his Xbox 360 and booted up Dead Space 2. Connor also tries something different and dips his toe into the roguelike game Slay the Spire. He liked the moment to moment, but the rest left much to be desired. What caused him to fall off of it? Find out in this episode of the Super Clash Podcast!

In the isometric adventure game Toem, the journey you take matters most—not the plot. take in the environment, snap pictures, and listen to soothing music. Whereas in HuniePop, fulfill your wifu dreams as you match tiles to gain the favor of the characters in this dating-sim/puzzler.

Kale lied. He was supposed to play Toem this week, but he couldn't be pulled away from the Dead Space remake. Connor scolds him for it, before talking about Minecraft Dungeons.

Connor and Kale finally have some games to discuss after their vacation. The Ascent, a twin-stick shooter with Diablo influences, had a lot of good ideas but struggled to put them into practice. And the adventure puzzler Iris Fall, which makes use of shadows and light. Merch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/super-clash-store/

Connor and Kale discuss Trigger Witch; a top-down twin-stick shooter where witches forget their magic and start solving problems with guns.

Hosts Kale and Connor acclimate themselves to the new hybrid format by discussing two games: Nobody Saves the World, an indie RPG dungeon crawler centered around changing into different forms. Then Bladed Fury, a 2D action game based on Chinese mythology. Merch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/super-clash-store/

After a long unexpected break, Kale and Connor (finally) talk about their favorites of 2022 and discuss the future of the show coming into 2023. Merch: https://www.bonfire.com/store/super-clash-store/

Kale here. Sorry for the poor(er) audio quality. Connor and I recorded this announcement in our homes, where we don't have as good equipment as in his studio. Just bear with us; we hope 2023 will be a good year for games!

While some games were excellent this year, there were undoubtedly some stinkers. Connor and Kale certainly played a good amount of them. Like the last episode, They each come with 5 games that stuck out to them individually and then debate a definitive list of the "Bottom 10" games they played for the show in 2022.

After taking two weeks off to deal with sickness, Connor and Kale make up for it by talking about two games: Ether One, a first-person puzzle game that centers around the struggle with dementia, and Alan Wake, a third-person survival horror game.

Fight'N Rage is a 2D beat 'em up that pays homage to old-school arcade games. Despite its simple controls, the game has deep combat with hidden moves, combos, and more. Even Kale, who has never been a fan of fighting games, enjoyed playing it because it had so much to offer.

Maquette is a first person puzzle game in which objects of the world will change size based on a scale model in the middle of the map. However, despite its unique hook, it shows its flaws as the game goes on with unintuitive puzzles, clunky controls, and a cliche story. But is it still worth your time?

Mega Man is Back! The game is graphically beautiful but keeps to its brutally challenging gameplay, which Kale never expected, as he never played a Mega Man game, while Connor is more familiar with the series.

Connor and Kale complete the spooky season with Ghostwire: Tokyo, an open-world first-person game that some would not consider horror. While accurate in the traditional sense, the game offers a grim atmosphere, compelling mystery, and some of the most creative monster designs seen in a long time. Follow us on Twitter!

Maid of Sker is a Resident Evil-inspired horror game that puts you against sound-based enemies. Breathing near them, and even bumping into furniture will send them running in your direction. Although the concept and the setup are good, can this weaponless, slower-paced game stay fresh for the 5 1/2-hour length? Connor and Kale are split on it. Let's Get Physical!

Do you remember The Order: 1886? The game saw a lot of promise when it was announced, and showed the outstanding power of the PS4. However, the controversy came after it was revealed to be a single-player, 7-hour experience. It was quickly forgotten. Now, almost 7 years later, Connor and Kale come back to see if the discourse was warranted. What they found was a game that seemed to age fairly well in some aspects, and aged poorly in others.

Layers of Fear is a psychological horror game that puts you in the shoes of an artist. Delve deeper into your madness as you navigate your way through a highly PT-inspired experience. The environment changes in front of your eyes, paintings melt away, dolls mock you, and nothing is ever what it seems. But does it deliver, as PT did?

Connor and Kale are torching Gnorcs and hoarding gems to save the world from evil in the recently remastered classic: Spyro The Dragon. While it stays true to its level design, mechanics, tone, and charm, is it enough to hold up in a modern gaming world? Is it still a timeless classic? Or has nostalgia overshadowed its glaring issues?

Maneater puts you in control of a mutated bull shark, bent on avenging your mother's death. Electrify your tail, grow bone armor, terrorize beaches, and become infamous in the city of Port Clovis. However, despite the intriguing setup, the game suffers with surface level combat, padding, and variety of quests.

Connor makes another attempt to get Kale into visual novels with Katawa Shoujo; A story of a 16-year-old boy with heart arrhythmia who is sent to a school where the other students have disabilities. The game has many paths to take and endings to experience, which leads to a lot of replayability. But was it enough for Kale? Let's Get Physical! Pretty Girls Game Collection II Follow us on Twitter!

A little over six weeks after completing Little Nightmares, Connor and Kale felt the itch to play the second entry in the series. How does it hold up to the first game?  After, the hosts discuss a game that rocked the world at its release: Portal. Would you believe that Connor never played the first game? Kale didn't.

Hosts Kale and Connor discuss A Winter's Daydream, Kale's first visual novel. While he believed the story was good, he thought the experience was lacking. Dollhouse, however, is a horror game that felt like it was made by 6 different people and left the hosts wishing they had picked a different game.

The boys are back! After a break to take care of some personal life obligations, they come back to discuss some films they saw together before continuing with two games with fascinating concepts. One is colorful and charming, while the other is very grim, and cynical.

Kale did not do all of his homework. As a result, Connor must take the reins on Tanglewood, a modern-day Dreamcast game. It'll get better as the boys rip into Skully; a game in which the concept sounds great on paper, but comes up massively short in gameplay, controls, and overall interest.   LGP Espgaluda II Sheepo Follow us on Twitter!  Connor: @SuperClashGamin Kale: @SuperClashKale YouTube: SuperClashBros

Kale and Connor went on a manga-hunting adventure where they found a cavalcade of volumes they've been looking for...now they're poor.  They then discuss Spec Ops: The Line's intriguing story behind its mundane gameplay and superficial tactical shooting elements by looking at how the game responds to familiar tropes in war games and the illusion of choice.

Connor and Kale attempt to play an arcade classic on a modern system and realize the controls were NOT modernized. (Even though when it was released on home computers, it was in 1986) They then move on to Demetrios: The BIG Cynical Adventure: a point-and-click puzzle game with edgy humor straight out of the early 2000s. And it's all not entirely great.  LGP Tetris Effect: Connected Pretty Girls Game Collection Follow us on Twitter!  Connor: @SuperClashGamin Kale: @SuperClashKale

On this episode, Kale and Connor talk about four more short games, Kale rants about his dislike for fighting games and the poor marketing of the knockoff game VVVVV. With each game being a different genre there's sure to be something to please every palette.

Ever wanted to know what it's like to be on the other side of a monster movie? Imagine stalking through vents, as your helpless victims are in a corner jumping to every sound before you burst out tentacles shooting forward to capture your prey. But then you die. Game over. That's kinda how it feels to play Carrion. While it has it moments, and the idea is good, there's a lot to be desired in this action-puzzler.  In Firewatch, you play as Henry, taking a summer job in Wyoming after his wife becomes ill and needs to be dent to a home. As his story about coming to terms with loss, you choose how to react in dialogue with your supervisor Delilah. As the summer goes on, things get weird as if you're in the middle of an experiment...? Or at least that what it seems.  Join Kale and Connor in their thoughts on Carrion and Firewatch!  LGP:  Wife Quest  https://www.play-asia.com/wife-quest-limited-edition/13/70febd Super Rare Mix Tape https://superraregames.com/ Star Wars: The Force Unleashed https://limitedrungames.com/collections/all-games/products/switch-limited-run-146-star-wars-the-force-unleashed Rainbow Billy: Curse of The Leviathan  https://www.gamestop.com/video-games/playstation-4/products/rainbow-billy-the-curse-of-the-leviathan---playstation-4/11203810-11203810.html Pocky & Rocky Reshrined https://store.strictlylimitedgames.com/collections/pocky-rocky-reshrined/products/pocky-rocky-reshrined-nsw Loopers https://www.play-asia.com/loopers-english/13/70f8f3 Check us out on Twitter!  Kale: SuperClashKale Connor: SuperClashGamin

Manifold Garden is a mind bending puzzle game inspired by MC Escher. Walls become floors, and other rules are broken in this charming, and surprisingly colorful game. While Katana Zero is a fast paced side scroller where you play as an assassin that goes by the name “the dragon” completing contracts in a war torn dystopian world as he tries to come to terms with  his past. But things aren't always as real as they seem. Join Kale and Connor as they discuss these two games in its mind-bending, reality-shifting glory.

Connor gaslights Kale into oblivion. Later they discuss the mystery puzzle game, Ever Forward along with first person shooter game Bulletstorm. Join our hosts as they unravel the secrets in today's episode!

Sniper Elite 3 is a stealth-action game made by Rebellion Developments. Sneak through Nazi occupied territory with your rifle to strategically pick them off in gory-ous fashion. It's a damn good time. Kale and Connor dive in to its strengths, and a few of its shortcomings in this episode of the Super Clash Podcast.

Kale and Connor are diving into the new format with two games this week: Katamari Damacy Reroll, a re-release of the 2004 PS2 game, and Cadence of Hyrule, a rogue-like game with a Legend of Zelda aesthetic. 

The boys are back with a lot to rant and praise about; Mostly about Horizon: Zero Dawn (Again) the state of Family Guy, and Spiderman - No Way Home.  SPOILER WARNING: Spiderman - No Way Home Topics: (In order)  The Grudge 2020, Unpacking, Animal, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Spiderman: No Way Home, Family Guy. 

This is a spoiler heavy episode people, and it probably will be from now on. Kale and Connor talk about the controversy of "Turning Red" and the utter ridiculousness of the anger that has come as a result of the film. if you haven't yet heard about what is being said about the film...trust us. It's utterly hypocritical, and made us feel gross. The boys will also go into Man of Medan; a game by the creators of Until Dawn,  the show Daybright, and the film Antlers. 

A week of new beginnings in Kale and Connor's lives. Not with games, or life…well kinda. It's work related. But it took a pretty big toll on their energy this week. To take the edge off, they talk about what would be considered their “forever game”  a phrase Kale heard and wanted to give his thoughts.  After being nice and loose, they move on to a film called The Adam Project, a time travel film starring Ryan Reynolds. Kale liked it, but Connor has an issue with time travel films.  Connor talks about an anime he finished, and wraps up Life is Strange 2, and the show Daybreak.  Topics: Elden ring, Super Mario World, The Adam Project, Monster Hunter, Teasing master Takagi-San, Life is Strange 2, Daybright

Kale finally had his ceremony! But even after a week, he is still super drained, and not all there...so really nothing is different at all with him even down to saying 34 instead of 44. (Why Kale...Just why?) But with the week off, he experimented with the Elden Ring multiplayer a bit, and Connor played some Life is Strange 2, and watched some movies.  Topics: Elden Ring, Life is Strange 2, John Wick 1-3, Nobody, Kirby and The Forgotten Land, Between Two Ferns. 

After a talk about the film Parasite, and an update on Elden Ring, Kale and Connor rant about their last Dying Light 2 session. While mostly positive last time, this time around was a lot more negative. The boys then move on to Zach Stone is Gonna Be Famous, and the high school memories that were unlocked for Kale. Connor rounds out the episode with some Gran Turismo 7 Topics: Parasite, Elden Ring, Dying Light 2, Zach Stone is Gonna Be Famous, Megamind (Kinda), Gran Turismo 7.   

The boys had a bad day, but that's what games and movies are for. In this episode, Kale talks about Elden Ring; the new mechanics and the flow of the game, as well as touch on some of the petty hate that the game seemed to bring. Connor talks about a whole lot of films and TV shows. We're gonna keep it simple this week. Remember to rate and subscribe!  Topics: Ghostbusters Afterlife, Elden Ring, Zach Stone is Gonna Be Famous, Alone. 

Yes. The title is correct. After a talk about games and movies, Kale and Connor will talk about the Netflix limited series "Midnight Mass" in its entirety (Jumbled as it will be) This is the longest episode yet, as it covers major plot points and its commentary on religion, community, and afterlife. You will also see Kale and Connor get a bit personal as they open up to their experiences and thoughts on morality, Christianity, and how the show affected them.  Remember to rate and subscribe!  Topics: World War Z, Dying Light 2, Sifu, Josee the Tiger and the Fish, Midnight Mass.

The boys are back again! This time, they have more positive thoughts on Dying Light 2, Kale gushes over how the parkour and combat points are earned, and Connor shares his problems playing the game. They agree its a great game, it could still use some patches. They move on to films and shows.  (With Kale briefly touching on Halo 4 in between) Venom: Let There Be Carnage, that one show that has a ridiculously long title. Kale and Connor talk about the ending of season 2 of Beastars; as Kale completely missed the point of what Connor asks about the end and embarrasses himself. (Seriously he's writing this description and...wow) Just another day on the Super Clash Podcast!  Topics: Dying Light 2, Halo 4, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Rated R films, Beastars, All of Us Are Dead, Resident Evil: Welcome to Racoon City, Chaos Walking. Rate and subscribe to listen to more! 

Corona is terrible, and we ain't talking about the beer. Kale and Connor had covid in between episodes, and it was terrible. However, during their sickness, (at least on the tail end of it) they managed to play some games, and watch some shows. Kale talks about Halo: ODST and Reach as he continues his playthrough of the mainline Halo games. Connor watches All of Us Are Dead, A Korean show on Netflix. They end with their initial  thoughts on Dying Light 2, and the film Okko's Inn.
