The Tangent - 135: One, Two, Tertiary Everyone's here tonight and ready to talk games. Gary opens and it's Cuphead. The crew loves the game and truthfully the difficulty. It's hard. Justin then talks some NBA and sells us on why he sometimes prefers NBA Live over NBA 2k. Strong points all around. He's also got a mobile game, Iron Marines. He likens it to Starcraft. We were all intrigued. Brian wraps up his Dishonored Death of the Outside DLC and Anthony tells us about the only game that ever scared him during his Amnesia Dark Decent discussion. Lastly, we wrap up with some SNES Classic talk. Short news week, but again, go check out our interviews from the BostonFIG over on YouTube. Some interesting conversations.   The Drunken News Wulverblade Cuts Its Way To The Switch eShop Next Week Dark Horse publishing first Final Fantasy Ultimania Archive in Summer 2018 PlayStation President Steps Down Extras Creep us on Facebook Stalk us on Twitter Watch us on YouTube Or throw us that review on iTunes or Stitcher Questions, comments, concerns?

It's a wild west train robbery! Or rather, it's a podcast that features discussion of both Red Dead Redemption 2 and Thomas the Tank Engine. Join cow-folk Joseph Martin, Alex Jedraszczak, and Anna Bryniarski as they rustle up some gaming talk about such topics as: - What is the "sequel" equivalent of each feature of Red Dead Redemption 2? - Jeddy's journey to Boston FIG 2017 - What makes a good tabletop game? - Jeddy got a steal of a deal on a Game Boy Color - The GameCola gang has been messing around with Dungeons & Dragons - Anna has a collection of Thomas the Tank Engine apps - Jeddy is on the fence about Mother 3 - Joseph has been having fun with Pokémon and the weather ...and much more! So if that sounds interesting to ya, par'ner, then have a gander at our podcast, y'hear?

The Tangent - 134: Finger Guns Brian finishes up his thoughts this week on Metroid: Samus Returns and I think it has left him somewhat divided. He then moves on to some Dishonored 2 DLC. Anthony's got DRAGON BALL XENOVERSE 2 for the Switch, and two of us have no idea what he is talking about. Finally, Gary and the full gang talk some more Destiny 2, which they still have to explain to Stephen, and the newly (and finally) released game, Cuphead. Does it live up to our expectations?

Then, Anthony, Brian, and Gary talk Destiny 2, and another spoiler, oh have their minds changed on the series.  Then stick around for the Drunken not-so-much-news this week, as we headed into MIT in Cambridge to the Boston Festival of Indie Games, and talk about all the games we saw there.

The Tangent - 107: Mom's Against Everything Gary opens up this week with a EA Early Access game. It's Mass Effect: Andromeda and it has some unique quirks, such as: bad writing, sparse gameplay, and animations that would be fitting in The Looney Tunes. However, not all is bad, as the game looks incredible. Gary's hoping it gets better as it goes on. His next game was Quake Champions, which he got a chance to play at PAX East last week. It's a free to play game, but you can also buy the game outright. It's everything he loves about those old "fast shooters". Rounding out his week is Gotham City Imposters. Another free to play game that's also a first person shooter. Let's just say you press 'G' to throw a grenade. Anthony's next and it's Breath of the Wild, allowing Brian and Stephen to chime in. He's two dungeons down. Lightfall was a game Anthony played at PAX East and he says it's like Super Meat Boy, but faster. I really don't know how that is possible. Anthony and Brian then get into two PAX games, Wulverblade and Chasm. The former is a hand drawn historically accurate side-scrolling beat-em-up game. They got the chance to chat with the developer, too. Chasm is basically a Castlevania-type game. It has a bit of a Game of Thrones vibe. Then Brian talks about a game he played at the Boston Fig, Preception. It's by Deep End Games, and you play as a blind girl who uses sonar (think Daredevil) to navigate her away around a mansion. Brian does a better job explaining it than I do. Lastly, Justin, has two games. First, Moonlighter, also another PAX game. It's a hack-n-slash. The thing he likes most about it? You can sell your items on the innovatory screen. Then it's Dragon Age. He's put about 80 - 85 hours into the game, beating the last mission and all 10 dragons. There is some form of New Game Plus and a multiplayer similar to Mass Effect. The Drunken News this week is different. We've decided to do a points system (where the points may or may not matter). I think it turned out well, but you can be the judge. So, be sure to let us know!!

This week on the Random Assault Podcast, barriers are broken as we do our first-ever live episode! All in commemoration of the sad, sad truth: Alex is parting ways with the show. At least, for right now. The nitty-gritty details are contained in this episode, but know that he's not entirely gone for good. He might pull a Doug Walker and come back to the show in a few months. He might not. We'll just have to see. He'll also definitely still be a part of the convention videos in the future, such as MAGfest and Boston FIG. Besides all that nonsense, we interact with fans live for the first time, covering tough subjects like being offensive on the internet, Bear Grylls, explaining jokes that never got recorded, and more.

This past weekend, Matt and Mitch shipped up to Boston to meet up with Alex and Willy and to attend the Boston Festival of Indie Games. However, not a lot of FIG coverage was actually done this year, and they guys were having so much fun hanging out and being pals that they neglected to even sit down and record an episode of the podcast in the same room. So instead, Mitch opted to record their table conversation during the breakfast they had right before they parted ways again. This is the almost entirely un-edited recording, featuring awkawrd silences and bleary-eyed hosts. Due to the lower audio quality of this episode, it is recommended that you listen to it with headphones on.
