Hollow Knight: Silksong is now available, and the reaction has been overwhelmingly positive, aside from some amusing Google Reviews. Show Dot Points Hollow Knight: Silksong's launch caused significant storefront issues due to high demand. The anticipation for Hollow Knight: Silksong has been building for years, leading to a successful launch. Sales figures for Hollow Knight: Silksong are expected to surpass those of the original game. Players are experiencing challenges with new gameplay mechanics in Silksong compared to the original. The gameplay reveal for Double A7: First Light showcased a mix of stealth and action elements. Concerns were raised about the car chase mechanics in the Double A7 gameplay. Voice performances in the new Bond game were well-received, adding depth to the characters. The God of War TV series is set to begin filming, with a focus on staying true to the game's narrative.

Caked up podcast, goated with the sauce. Welcome back to the podcast! Today, we're going to be looking at the most recent Life is Strange title, Double Exposure. This picks up roughly ten years after the first game in the series and returns to the point of view of Max Caulfield who has not been using her powers. The game largely follows the same trajectory of the more recent games in the series, lacking time reversing powers, it is a narrative adventure game where you make choices in dialogue and occasionally solve puzzles. The character dialogue is as awkward as ever, but it does still have the earnestness that the series is known for. It is, however, much smaller in scope than previous games, with few locations to explore and a reserved, linear plot. Mechanically, there is potentially more to explore with the set of powers available, but it has a smattering of interesting puzzles here and there that put the game's premise to use and it's well worked into the story. Whether you enjoy this game will probably come down mostly to how much you like that story and how it is told, but I think fans of the series (as in, more than just the first game) will find something about it to find endearing. We're going to be talking about the story and how it calls back to the first Life is Strange, how the characters and world building have evolved over time, and lame dudes. Thank you for joining us again this week! I recognize that we talk about Life is Strange fairly often, but it felt appropriate to talk about a podcast favorite series as we inch ever closer to Episode 200. Double Exposure may not reach the highs of the series, but I think it also avoids the lows. How was your experience playing through the game? Let us know in the comments or over on our Discord server! Next time, we're going to be doing a very special epilogue episode where we talk about Bloodborne, something like 9 years after we did it the first time, so I hope you'll join us for that!

Hi everyone, happy Tuesday! I'm not a huge gamer, but even I know what a big deal Ashly Burch is in the video game world. She has voiced so many beloved and iconic characters, including Aloy in Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West, Chloe Price in Life is Strange and Tiny Tina in Borderlands 2 and 3. She's also had a fascinating career as an actor, writer and director starting when she created Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin'? with her brother Anthony and progressing to writing and/or directing on Side Quest, Mythic Quest and Adventuretime, among others. She is crazy talented and also so smart when it comes to her work and the future of the industry. We talk about AI, mental health and what it was like to grow up in Arizona the daughter of an immigrant and fall in love with video games. I had such a good time talking to Ashly and I hope you enjoy our conversation! Be sure to stick around for the Hindsight, where Jeph and I talk about the parallels between the Sci-Fi and video game fan culture and answer some of your questions from the Mailsack!

There once was a time when we questioned podcasts taking long hiatus periods or doing old re-releases on this show. How nieve we were! Life once again stands in the way. Rage's new job and work schedule combined with my own major career changes again makes it hard to record. We believe next week's schedule hold solid promise for recording, and we can finally get past Tex Murphy onto the next gameclub and some regular shenanigans. We love and appreciate you so much.

Every action you have ever taken in life has led up to this exact moment of you reading this exact sentence. All the arguments, the nights staying up late with friends, telling someone that you love them, jokes laughed at, sunsets watched, mourning at funerals, all of the in between moments that seem insignificant. All of it. Life is strange when you take a step back and look at the bigger picture. It all seems so interconnected. When it's happening you don't even realize it. Life is so beautiful in this juxtaposed way. Life is strange.Call and tell me about your strange life: (608) - 856- 4955At The Beep

Sarah Armstrong—forever Sarah Oakden to me, no matter what the legal documents say—isn't just my best friend. She's my first college friend, my musical theater soulmate, and the first person who truly saw me as an artist. She was there when I walked onto Binghamton's campus, and she was there when I walked into cancer hell. And, because we're nothing if not in sync, a few decades later, she got her own cancer badge of honor, and I was right there with her every step of the way.This episode is a love letter to friendship, music, and those moments that change your life forever. We nerd out over Sondheim, Binghamton's infamous "Theater 101 with Dr. Susan Peters." and the weird and wonderful rabbit holes that turn into entire alternate realities across decades of aging gracefully and falling with style.We talk about how cancer is the worst club with the best people and how surviving it together just adds another verse to the song we've been singing for 30 years. It's funny. It's real. It's a master class in love, laughter, and musicals that should have been bigger; with a big tip of the hat to Nancy Ford and Gretchen Cryer for their acclaimed musical "I'm Getting My Act Together and Taking It on the Road"Oh, and RIP to the legendary Denny's on Vestal Parkway. You will be missed.FEEDBACK:Like this episode? Rate and review Out of Patients on your favorite podcast platform.

The Game Developers Conference is happening in San Francisco, and Patrick and Rob are [checks notes] not there and a little bummed about it, which leads to a longer discussion about the role of games media in helping spread information from events like it. They also talk about Bobby Kotick filing a lawsuit against various media outlets and the new Life Is Strange flopping, before Cado joins for a long discussion on the (excellent!) Assassin's Creed Shadows, early weird troubles with Rob's new PC, and consider why some fruit snacks look better than others.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
