With 2018's Vampyr, Don't Nod took a swing a narrative, decisions-matter action RPG, and while I liked Vampyr a lot, the decisions-matter part of it left a lot to be desired. Five years later, they took another swing at that type of game with Banishers, and really righted that specific area. Decisions matter in Banishers in a way they don't matter in most games, and it led to one of the most effective stories I've played in a while.

We're joined by Legend of Zelda archivist Melora Hart (History of Hyrule) this week to discuss the importance of games media preservation. For over 20 years, Melora has been painstakingly scanning and preserving both official and unofficial art of the Zelda franchise. We go into the ways she helps keep video game history alive. We also cover all the Nintendo and gaming news such as the Kirby Air Riders Direct, Gamescom 2025, Nintendo Direct rumors, Sony raising the price of the PS5 and much more. As always, we close with the games we've been playing.

I will be at Dragon Con in Atlanta on Labor Day Weekend, moderating Dragon Con's first ever Speedrun Showcase, speaking with the Dad of Boy himself Christopher Judge, and moderating a panel with the cast of SYFY's The Magicians! (Sadly, the Mortal Kombat panel was dropped from the schedule the day after this was recorded!) Sony has raised the price of all models of the PS5 by $50 in the USA due to the tariffs. Gamestop made a PR move saying they would cover the difference if you traded in a last gen console - but that deal was only for 24 hours. Steam now calculates the review score based on reviews in your spoken language to prevent review bombing from other territories - but they give you the option to go back to including all reviews. Then we talk about games that people were excited for at Gamescom, and to Rob about Dragon Con.

Send us a textFungi have always been the overlooked kingdom of pathogens. While we've obsessed over viral pandemics and bacterial superbugs, few considered how a simple fungal mutation could tear civilization apart. That's the terrifying premise anchoring "The Last of Us" – and what makes it so unnervingly plausible.At its core, this brilliant adaptation isn't really about the cordyceps infection that transforms humans into mindless, clicking predators. It's about what remains human when everything else is lost. Pedro Pascal delivers a solid performance as Joel, a man hollowed out by grief after losing his daughter in the initial outbreak. When he reluctantly takes on the job of transporting Ellie (a perfectly cast Bella Ramsey) – a teenager mysteriously immune to infection – across a devastated America, neither expects how profoundly they'll change each other.The show masterfully balances faithful recreation of the game's most iconic moments with meaningful expansions to the story. Episode 3's exploration of Bill and Frank's relationship transforms a minor game character into a love story. The practical effects bringing the infected to life – especially the terrifying Clickers – create genuinely nightmarish moments that honor the game's horror elements while adding new dimensions in live action. Most importantly, the gradual evolution of Joel and Ellie's relationship from reluctant traveling companions to surrogate father and daughter feels earned through shared trauma and genuine connection.What lingers after watching isn't the apocalyptic setting or zombie-like threats, but the profound question at the heart of the story: In a world where humanity itself might be finished, what makes individual human connections worth fighting for? And when those connections conflict with the greater good, what choice would any of us make? The answer, as Joel discovers, isn't found in heroic sacrifice or logical calculation, but in that primal, irrational force that has always defined us – the capacity to love beyond all reason.Twitter handles:Project Geekology: https://twitter.com/pgeekologyAnthony's Twitter: https://twitter.com/odysseyswowDakota's Twitter: https://twitter.com/geekritique_dakInstagram:https://instagram.com/projectgeekology?igshid=1v0sits7ipq9yYouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@projectgeekologyGeekritique (Dakota):https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBwciIqOoHwIx_uXtYTSEbASupport the show

To continue the Gangster themed week, author Corey Danna, blogger Fred Andersson & HK movie fanatic Mark Shaver all enter the recording studio!   Why was Jackie Chan's STUNTMASTER the ultimate experimental PS1 videogame for both gamers and his established fanbase?   Why was Jet Li's RISE TO HONOR the ultimate send-up of both his HK and U.S. movies while mixing in some MATRIX and John Woo tropes?   Did either game have some neat button combos or did they mainly benefit from word-of-mouth recommends by fans?   OTHER SHOW NOTES: *Mark better details the fighting mechanics, motion capture graphics & what a collector's item the Jackie Chan videogame is *Mark also shares trivia on how Rise to Honor's Cantonese dialogue was overdubbed and the background on the game's setting *Mark brings up some other obscure Jackie Chan games (as well as an infamous Bruce Lee game) that showed how licenses for these Action hero icons evolved overtime in the industry and the continual mix of rap music with Kung Fu scenarios in the videogames *And Corey also brings up other cool Hong Kong trivia & other John Woo/Chou-Yun Fat stories including how he was at the premiere of The Replacement Killers!     MUSIC USED:  "Rise to Honor" OST by Raymond Wong and Michael Reagan   "Ossuary 2- Turn" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/   "Crowd Hammer" by Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

On this week's Random Encounter, let's head to the bazaar and see what the RPGFan stall has in stock!First up, Niki is here to chat about Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar. Harvest Moon DS: Grand Bazaar was a beloved entry in this long-running series on the Nintendo DS. Does this remake (with some updated branding) live up to the memories of the original?Then, Neal is here to share his thoughts about Quartet, a new retro-style JRPG from the developer of Shadows of Adam. While it looks like a pretty standard SNES JRPG on the surface, it is the mature storytelling and more modern mechanics that set it apart. If you miss the days of the SNES, this might be an RPG you'll want to check out!And finally, the entire panel shares what they are most excited about that was announced at Gamescom 2025!Featuring: Jono Logan, Neal Chandran, and Niki Fakhoori; Edited by Jono LoganGet in Touch:RPGFan.comRPGFan ShopEmail us: podcast@rpgfan.comTwitter: @rpgfancomBluesky: @rpgfan.bsky.socialInstagram: @rpgfancomThreads: @rpgfancomFacebook: rpgfancomTwitch: rpgfancomThis Episode's Related Links:Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar ReviewHarvest Moon DS: Grand Bazaar ReviewQuartet ReviewShadows of Adam Review

Natalie aka OhThatNatalie on socials joins from Canada as we get to talk about a number of her passions. While we start off strong with talk of tiramisu, we dive into one of our main topics - Books! Natalie talks about how she got back into reading, fanfiction, and what books she is drawn to now. She gives several recommendations (see links below), and we talk openly about how she shares her very personal reactions to some of the books she's read on her Instagram page. She talks about how she decides which books sit on shelves, and which books get boxed to be saved for later. Mixed in with that talk, we do delve into a little about hockey and how Natalie is a fan of the Carolina Hurricanes and how that came to be. We then jump over to video games and Twitch streaming. Natalie talks about how she first got into video games, and what kind of video games she is drawn to. Natalie talks about her start as a Twitch streamer, streaming The Sims 4, and eventually transitioning to story based games such as Red Dead Redemption, Mass Effect, and Ghost of Tsushima, to recent Souls like games.

Although there's not much lore in this AU, there are a ton of champions. Well, there are a ton of heroes but not as many Muzak lovers, and we all agree that needs to change. There's much, dare we say, potential here? More skins, comics, a small game?

We delve the depths of Tallon IV on this episode of Still Loading. I'm joined by returning guest to the podcast Chris (aka the British Bond Addict) to talk Metroid Prime. Metroid Prime is a game that has eluded me for a while. I first played it over a decade ago but never got around to beating it even though I made it over 90% through the game. That has been finally corrected and I couldn't be happier I got to experience it.... with a few complaints here and there. Chris and I discuss the music, the world, the story, why he's wrong about the story... I mean we just discuss the story. Anyway. Learn how to morph ball and roll on into this new episode!

In this not-episode, Madelyn and Emma talk about their last six weeks of gaming and honestly don't talk about Silksong, I just feel like it needs to be acknowledged. Also featuring corny mechanics that hit, alternate mobile game universes, and comparisons to fanfiction.

I will be at Dragon Con on Labor Day weekend - and I couldn't talk about my schedule as we were recording, but its out now if you go look. Blizzard's Story and Franchise Development team successfully formed a union! Gamescom is bigger than it ever has been before, and it's a model that ESA should have tried with E3. Then we talk more about Dragon Con and why it's different than other conventions.

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! This week, we have the entire crew and start off talking about Last Epoch Season 3 with the release of Beneath Ancient Skies.  We talk briefly about the patch reveal for Path of Exile 2: The Third Edict, and while it sounded promising, it is mostly a bunch of nerfs.  From there, we talk a bit about some of the news coming out of Gamescom 2025 and specifically the date reveal for Hollow Knight Silksong.  Ash talks a bit about the Kirby Air Riders Nintendo Direct and some of the things that came out of that.  Bel talks about his further descent into madness with Miniatures and Warhammer.  Finally, Kodra talks a bit about some more Starfinder Society with Starfinder 2e.   Topics Discussed: Last Epoch Season 3 - Beneath Ancient Skies Path of Exile 2 0.3 - The Third Edict GamesCom 2025 Hollow Knight Silksong Kirby Air Riders Direct Bel's Further Delve into Miniatures and Wargaming Starfinder Society

Zum gamescom-Abschluss versammeln sich Jonas, Micha, Felix und Matthias Rosenkranz von Game Two, um über Highlights und Enttäuschungen zu sprechen. Ganz vorne mit dabei: The Expanse, Star Trek: Voyager und Valor Mortis.

The summer is slowly waning, and an autumn packed with new video games fast approaches. Join Alex, Kyle, Charles, and Eric as they take a look at some of the first big games of 2025's latter half, from Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater to early impressions of Battlefield 6 through its open beta.There's also some details on the strange sports game Drag x Drive from Nintendo, the gorgeous blade-skater Sword of the Sea, the charming indie puzzler Is This Seat Taken?, and our reactions to Gamescom Opening Night Live. We must stress: this was recorded before the Hollow Knight Silksong broadcast, so enjoy a few speculative guesses at what it might have been, preserved in amber for our audience.Subscribe to Game Informer Magazine: https://gameinformer.com/subscribeFollow our hosts on social media:Alex Van Aken (@itsVanAken)Kyle Hilliard (@kylehilliard)Charles Harte (@chuckduck365)Eric Van Allen (@seamoosi)Jump to a specific discussion using these timestamps:00:00 - Intro03:36 - Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater15:31 - Sword of the Sea30:23 - Drag x Drive42:33 - Battlefield 6 Open Beta1:01:00 - Is This Seat Taken?1:20:41 - Gamescom Opening Night Live reactions
