"Every canvas is a journey all its own.” – Helen Frankenthaler Gaming host Ace dives deep into Constance, a hand-painted 2D Metroidvania that blends precise Celeste-like platforming with Hollow Knight-inspired exploration. We were provided a review key by the developers, but this is not a sponsored review all thoughts are honest and our own. Constance follows the journey of a paint-brush-wielding artist trapped in a decaying inner world shaped by her mental health. With striking hand-drawn visuals, fluid animation, tight movement mechanics, and emotional storytelling, Constance stands out as one of the most unique indie games of 2025.

Alex and Luke Talk Hollow Knight and Silksong.The duo dive into a Metroidvania double‑header: first the seminal Hollow Knight (Team Cherry, 2017) and then its long‑awaited sequel Hollow Knight: Silksong (Team Cherry, 2025). We unpack the evolution of the form — bug‑infested kingdoms, needle‑wielding protagonists, soaring difficulty curves — while comparing how the first game laid the groundwork and Silksong raised the bar (and the anguish). Two games, one legacy, endless edge‑of‑your‑seat platforming. Hollow Knight earned a Metacritic score of 87 on PC and 90 on Switch. HowLongToBeat estimates place a standard full play‑through around 27 hours (main story) and up to ~65 hours for completionists. Silksong debuted with a Metacritic score of 91 (PC), classified under “universal acclaim”. Play time estimates suggest around 40‑45 hours for a meaningful run, with full completion pushing closer to 60 hours+. All in all, two hefty games that demand stamina, precision, and a willingness to die… a lot.Alex tackled Hollow Knight on his Nintendo Switch OLED, while Luke jumped into Silksong on his Steam Deck. Luke's no stranger to the first game — he's beaten Hollow Knight before — but neither of them rolled credits this time around. Along the way they compare platform experiences, controller feel, and how each game's difficulty and structure landed differently for each of them.This episode is unofficially brought to you in part by bein' fat bs who can't stop eating the rest of our Halloween candy.Send us a Text Message!

Hollow Knight: Silksong.Developed by Team Cherry, the same brilliant minds that gave us the cult-classic Hollow Knight back in 2017, and published independently by the same creative house, this upcoming sequel has been cooking longer than a prophecy waiting for its appointed time. Originally announced in 2019, and expected to drop sometime between late 2024 and early 2025, Silksong has become more than just a game. It's become a legend in itself. A whispered myth across forums, Discord channels, and Reddit caves, where gamers chant: ‘When will Hornet rise?

The Fork In Your Ear Podcast Ep#203 End of Line Hosts Tim K. Trotter and Nate Foo discuss video games, entertainment, technology, and personal life updates in a casual, banter-filled episode. They note this might be the last with the current cast due to Nate's upcoming personal changes. Opening and Setup The episode starts with technical glitches (freezes during recording setup) and casual chit-chat about sleep, caffeine, and weather. They spin a "topic wheel" landing on video games. Video Games (Main Focus) News and Rumors: Free Assassin's Creed Mirage expansion (funded by Saudi government, adding 5-10 hours of content, releasing Nov 18). Debunked rumor of Microsoft canceling a handheld due to AMD sales demands. Positive reviews for ROG Ally X handhelds ($800-$1100 models), praised as strong Steam Deck competitors but criticized for Xbox-PC library confusion. Windows 10 end-of-support (Oct 2025), pushing users to Windows 11 with workarounds for older hardware. Nintendo's unexplained animated short revealed as Pikmin-related, with plans for more in-house CGI shorts. Astroneer spin-off Star Seeker (2026, multiplayer-focused, handcrafted levels). Game Pass changes: PC tier crippled (no day-one releases, reduced library); premium tier required for full access, causing confusion and backlash. Games Mentioned: Space Adventure Cobra (Metroidvania adapting 1980s anime, recommended). Tron Identity and Catalyst (picked up by Tim). Fortnite Tron Ares skins (Tim frustrated by purchase issues due to timed exclusivity). Minecraft Tron pack. Death of Team Ninja founder Tomonobu Itagaki (58), praised for Ninja Gaiden and Dead or Alive despite controversies. Games Played: Nate enjoyed Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon (funny, retro FPS with Michael Biehn voicing). Tim beat Hollow Knight (48 hours, 86% completion; critiques it harshly for "artificially hard" design, inconsistent controls, and cheap difficulty, calling it "the best game I don't recommend"). Started Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown (highly praised Metroidvania). Brief mentions of Dead Cells and Castlevania for better controls. Entertainment In-depth review of Tron Ares (spoilers avoided): Both hosts loved it as a fun, visually stunning sequel blending old and new grids. Praised direction, action (light cycles, disc fights), Nine Inch Nails soundtrack, and themes (AI, identity). Minor critiques: heavy-handed callbacks, some sound inconsistencies, Jared Leto's performance (good but uneven). Tim notes it's his wife's favorite Tron film; appeals to non-fans. Discussed CGI evolution and fan reactions. Technology Apple surprise press release: M5 chip (best single-core performance ever), new M5 MacBook Pros and iPad Pros (available now, with faster SSDs). Apple TV+ rebranding to Apple TV (confusing due to hardware overlap); bundling with Peacock. Rivian CEO doubles down on skipping Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, accepting lost sales. Nate recommends CMF Headphone Pros ($100: excellent noise-canceling, on-device EQ, 60+ hour battery, replaceable ear cushions). Tim's ad-driven interests: Bearskin Hoodie 4.0 (tried one, praises pockets and fit but notes rain issues). Ridge Wallet Tracker Card ($45: slim, rechargeable Find My-compatible). Brief home improvement/Tool Time parody idea for a hypothetical YouTube channel. Life Updates Nate shares his drinking problem; intake for rehab starts Monday (hoping for outpatient to avoid work disruption). Wife stayed elsewhere last night due to issues. Tim's doctor visit: Stage 2 hypertension (unexpected spike); quitting alcohol post-current stock, limiting caffeine to one morning cup. Pursuing heart scans for genetic concerns (related to late father's issues). Leg physical therapy ongoing. Mom moving in end-Oct/early-Nov. Haunted house crawl tomorrow (waiver-required, including friends he matchmade). Friends' new relationship progressing adorably (poems, dates). Bought Nine Inch Nails tickets; Mariners baseball hype noted. The episode runs long (~3 hours), filled with humor, rants (e.g., Tim's Hollow Knight frustration), and mutual support. Ends with plans for editing and future episodes, uncertain due to Nate's situation.

Get ready for a SOLO SPITERI episode, as Andy is by himself this week talking about Hollow Knight: Silksong! We asked for your questions, and you delivered, so we get to touch on a bunch of different topics, including: what do we think Hollow Knight did better than Silksong and vice versa? What was Andy's favorite boss fight? Is it a per-requisite for Metroid 6 to have side content now? Could charms or a skill tree work in a Metroid game? Should Metroid 6 try and be as long as Silksong? And finally, what's Andy's take on the difficulty of the game - was it not accessible enough, or was this the right vision?

TEXT US YOUR THOUGHTS!Hosts **Tony Sisk** and **Jaime G** kick off the "video game fall season" by discussing two major new releases: the highly anticipated indie sequel **Hollow Knight: Silksong** and the AAA looter-shooter **Borderlands 4**. Jaime shares his enthusiastic impressions of **Silksong**, highlighting its six-year development history, its origins as an intended DLC for *Hollow Knight* that grew into a full standalone sequel, and its budget price point of $20. He praises its Metroidvania genre execution, comparing its difficulty to *Elden Ring*, noting the lack of a ramp-up for new players, and describing the protagonist Hornet's high mobility and fluid movement as a major gameplay addition. Tony offers his initial thoughts on **Borderlands 4**, which he picked up as a physical copy on launch day. He states that the game is **"very good"** and already **"easily" better than Borderlands 3**. Tony praises the narrative, specifically highlighting the **memorable NPC characters** and the investment in their stories, which he feels was lacking in the previous installment. The hosts note the interesting contrast between the highly-rated, budget indie title (**Silksong**) and the large-scale AAA release (**Borderlands 4**), setting up a future discussion comparing their reception and player count, especially on platforms like Steam.---## Show Notes**Podcast Title:** Good Game Radio**Topics:** Video Game Fall Season Kickoff, *Hollow Knight: Silksong* Release and Review, *Borderlands 4* Initial Impressions.###
Trevor and Jeff kick off October with a live taste test of a 10% pumpkin ale (it goes… badly), celebrate the pure joy of Hades II (with “God Mode” as the ultimate dad setting), recap a wholesome Hollow Knight all-night kids' sleepover, and confess to using Final Fantasy VIII cheats to finally experience the story—25 years later. We wrap with a classic “beat your kids (while you still can)” dad-race anecdote. If you're a gaming father (or future one) figuring out how to balance kids, work, and your backlog—this one's for you.
Raske nädal mängutööstusele, Microsoft tõstab Game Passi hindu järsult ja Sony uus PlayStation 5 versioon on kahanemisinflatsiooni suurepärane näide.

In this episode Gino, Pete, and Em manage to finally be topical and discuss Hollow Knight: Silksong. We discuss the game's difficulty, how to judge a game that is intentionally antagonistic, and the excellent craft that went into the game. This discussion gets pretty passionate on all sides! Hopefully we work out some of the tensions that folks are feeling playing this game!

The tubes are on fire. Or maybe they have been for a month. In a massive conspiracy turned reality, YouTubers found that they're views have dropped by half in the month of August due to YouTube's new features. Indie games don't know how to price themselves in the wake of Silksong's release. We got the Yoshi P interview round up covering all the teases and perhaps walkbacks on the upcoming job update. Blizzard continues to C&D classic plus private servers. Hollow Knight, Expedition 33 and more.

Burnie and Ashley discuss Hollow Knight, baseball catches, Burnie's new Doomsday clock idea, ragebait, and the billion dollar Powerball.

We've been playing Silksong on Switch 2 nonstop and have some thoughts about the game so far.

There are so many video games out right now, so we had a genius idea: an entire podcast exclusively focused on the video games we're playing. What a concept, right?

With Rob in the midst of moving houses, Remap Radio welcomes the return of Janet to the fold, joining Chia and Patrick as each of them recounts their recent experiences at border crossings. Some more harrowing than others. The group also reacts to Silksong finally getting a release date, prompting all sorts of other video games to scuttle into new release dates, before they dig into impressions of Shinobi: Art of Vengeance, Resident Evil 9, Herdling, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, and a slew of other games.
