This week on My Third Place Podcast, Evo and Gregg throw it all the way back like a rewound VHS and level up the nostalgia!From Evo's latest nerd haul—featuring 50 Pokémon cards, a Lorcana deck, and two Superman graphic novels—to memories of grinding through the 90s console era and rushing home for after school cartoons, we're hitting you with pure retro power.We also talk:

Unlike some of the games I've recently played for The Last Call, Dauntless had a good run, launching in beta in May 2018 and lasting until May 2025. That's seven good years. Well, as someone who didn't regularly play it, I can't say they were good years with any kind of authority, but as someone who played it near launch and near death, it was a fine time. Ultimately, I think it never found a way to get out from under Monster Hunter's shadow, so it was only a matter of time until it died. To all the players who will miss it now that it's gone, I hope you're able to remember all the good times you had as you try a find a new game to play with your lads.

This was a long time coming. I've talked about wanting to play The Last of Us Part II for years now, but the mood was never quite right. After luckily stumbling into a 30th Anniversary PlayStation 5 Pro, I said The Last of Us Part II would be the game to break my new console's cherry. Fast-forward six months later and that time has finally come (insert eyebrow raising here). This episode covers a little over half of the game's story and this shouldn't need to be said, but expect heavy spoilers. With all that out of the way, give this episode a listen to see if I think The Last of Us Part II is a significant improvement over its predecessor, or just more of the same.

[Original air date: 07/12/2024] This week we open up a big 'ol pickle jar full of weird oddities from the PlayStation library. Sometimes weird games are good - are all of these? No. Are some? Hell yeah.

Greg and Riley discuss the PS1-revival horror game, Crow Country. They debate the game's combat mechanics, its puzzle design, and its influence on the “Playstation 1 Revival” genre.

Once the most derided type of film adaptation, video game movies have been seeing a renaissance as of late. So what better time to borrow the conventions of a once-derided medium to tell a story all your own? In this Mini-BOP, Mike and Jamie gush about the new film by genre filmmaker Jason Trost, The Waves of Madness, the world's first side-scrolling motion picture. With a premise that could have outstayed its welcome in minutes, Waves draws you in with its loving pastiche of PS1-era survival horror, and keeps you with a sincere Lovecraftian mystery at sea, with the best monster design we've seen all year. You'll never look at load screen monologues the same way again!https://www.boxofficepulp.com/Listen on Apple: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/appleListen on Spotify: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/spotifyListen on Amazon: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/amazonAll The OTHER Ways to Listen: https://www.boxofficepulp.com/listenFollow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BoxOfficePulpPodcast/Follow on Twiter/X: https://x.com/BoxOfficePulp

Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles is one of the few games I've not completed for Attack the Backlog. The reason is twofold. First, it's structured in such a way that you can just play whatever level you want in whatever order you want and actually "beating" the game feels inconsequential. Second, and more importantly, it's just an incredibly frustrating game. That said, however, there's so much potential in a game like Jedi Power Battles, which reminds one of games like Gauntlet Dark Legacy and Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, that I'd love to see either a proper remake or a brand new game in the series. Sadly, I doubt that will ever happen, but I'll continue hoping because if you lose hope with Star Wars, what do you have left?

A exposição “Este quarto parece uma República!”, da artista angolana Sandra Poulson, está patente no museu MoMA PS1, em Nova Iorque, desde 24 de Abril até 6 de Outubro. A mostra reúne várias esculturas que remetem para o imaginário do dia-a-dia angolano e para a forma como o universo doméstico é contaminado por símbolos do exterior, sejam de Angola ou frutos da globalização. As obras compõem uma instalação polissémica e foram construídas essencialmente a partir de peças de mobiliário encontrado nas ruas de Amesterdão. “Este quarto parece uma República!” é o título inspirado das memórias familiares e do quarto da artista onde começou uma certa "criação da consciência política no espaço doméstico e também no seio familiar". A "politização do espaço doméstico" e a forma como os símbolos do exterior entram, "como cavalos de Tróia", dentro de casa é a principal linha de força desta primeira exposição de Sandra Poulson no MoMA PS1, em Nova Iorque. Sandra Poulson nasceu em 1995, em Angola, é formada em moda pelo Royal College of Art e pela Central Saint Martins, em Londres, e actualmente é artista residente na prestigiada Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten, na Holanda. Participou na 60.ª Exposição Internacional de Arte – La Biennale di Venezia (2024), no Biennale College Art, na Trienal de Arquitectura de Sharjah, na Bold Tendencies (Londres) e no Pavilhão Britânico na Bienal de Arquitectura de Veneza (2023). Esta é a primeira vez que expõe no museu MoMA PS1, em Nova Iorque, e falou com a RFI sobre as obras que apresenta.RFI: O que conta a exposição “Este quarto parece uma República?”Sandra Poulson, Artista: “A exposição chama-se ‘Este quarto parece uma República!' e vai buscar uma frase que o meu pai costumava dizer quando entrava no nosso quarto em Luanda, que eu partilhava com os meus irmãos. Era, no fundo, uma repreensão sobre o quarto estar muito desarrumado e é uma frase que eu ouvi desde muito nova e que realmente eu não percebia até perceber que o denominador comum de todas as vezes que o meu pai dizia essa frase, era que realmente o quarto estava desarrumado. Eventualmente, eu começo a pensar nisso em relação a esta ideia de criação da consciência política no espaço doméstico e também no seio familiar. Na altura, Angola ainda estava em guerra civil. Esta criação de consciência começa muito cedo e começa nesse espaço muito íntimo. Ao mesmo tempo, também nesse espaço íntimo há uma série de objectos que são indicadores semióticos, que também alteram o ‘status quo' do corpo e que orientam, de certa forma, a consciência social. Então, eu começo a olhar particularmente para t-shirts e objectos de propaganda que são distribuídos gratuitamente, mas como se fossem quase cavalos de Tróia.” Fale-nos desses cavalos de Tróia. Que elementos estão representados na instalação? “A maior parte dos elementos são objectos de mobiliário encontrados todos em Amsterdão, que é onde eu vivo neste momento, onde estou a fazer uma residência na Rijksakademie. Alguns deles são mobiliário encontrado na rua, outros são coisas que comprei a pessoas individuais, mas quase tudo são objectos de mobiliário encontrados e intervencionados por mim e também há algumas peças completamente novas, feitas com madeira já existente.Todas as obras são feitas em madeira, alguma dela data do século XVIII, XIX e até, na verdade, dos anos 2000. Quase tudo é feito com espécies de madeira tropical que entra na Holanda através da exploração económica e de recursos. Essa madeira entra na Holanda e depois essas peças de mobiliário são feitas e são consideradas mobiliário holandês, mas são feitas com madeira tropical. A obra tem interesse na reclamação desse material como um caso de estudo e também não se saber exactamente em que momento é que aquela espécie entra no país.”A madeira tem também um significado político de expropriação? “Sim, sem dúvida. A madeira foi um dos grandes materiais exportados a partir de Angola, como o café, como o algodão e foi um material muito importante, ainda é um material importante, mesmo localmente. Na verdade, o meu interesse em madeira começa visitando um mercado em Luanda que é o mercado do Kikolo e trabalhando com um atelier a céu aberto de carpintaria, em que o mobiliário é feito por jovens e por tamanho. Na verdade, é mais barato comprar uma cama feita em Luanda por tamanho do que uma cama importada, se calhar, de muito menos qualidade por causa dos custos dessa relação com o exterior.” Na exposição, também tem uma t-shirt onde o perfil de um homem está recortado e lê-se “candidato a Presidente da República de Angola”. O negativo desse retrato está junto a um móvel às avessas. Há um significado particular? “Sim, essa escultura tem referência àquilo que é uma das t-shirts de propaganda mais disseminadas nos últimos anos no país e que é uma t-shirt que muitos angolanos têm em casa e que foi distribuída nas duas últimas eleições. É uma referência directa à disseminação da imagem do Presidente e também da possibilidade dessa imagem existir outra vez nesse espaço de intimidade. Muitas vezes estas t-shirts são feitas com algodão de muito boa qualidade e têm um tamanho largo e são t-shirts utilizadas para dormir. São t-shirts não só com a imagem relativamente a partidos políticos, mas a bancos, a organizações como a União Europeia, a petrolíferas e outras organizações normalmente do exterior que se tentam impor semioticamente no país. Esse é um dos exemplos de um objecto altamente disseminado e, naturalmente, com muito valor corrente.” Outra peça curiosa é “O Clube de Agricultores Familiares de Cabinda”, um pedaço de madeira suspenso com as estrelas da bandeira da União Europeia gravadas e com tudo a fazer sombra no chão. Mais uma vez temos aqui um significado político?“Sim, claro. ‘O Clube de Agricultores Familiares de Cabinda' foi uma iniciativa que, a certa altura, em 2013, recebeu algum dinheiro da União Europeia e essa obra tem um outline de um pólo. É também directamente uma referência a uma t-shirt utilizada pelo Clube de Agricultores em Cabinda. Cabinda é outra vez uma espécie de Cavalo de Tróia que foi dado a Portugal quando Portugal e a Bélgica negociavam quem dominaria a entrada do rio Congo que era muito importante para o transporte forçado de pessoas africanas escravizadas. Leopoldville ganhou essa disputa e, em compensação, foi decidido que Portugal receberia este território de Cabinda que está fisicamente separado de Angola. O que na Conferência do Congo não se sabia é que quase 100 anos mais tarde, em 1956, é descoberta em Cabinda uma das maiores reservas de petróleo do continente. Então, essa obra interessa-se nessa presença da União Europeia altamente semiótica, através de uma campanha de marketing que se esconde por trás dessa ajuda aos agricultores e dessa presença muito física.”Qual é o fio condutor que une as obras da exposição? “Eu penso que o fio condutor será esse estudo quase histórico ou arqueológico de diferentes casos de estudo que se vão repetindo e de uma proposta para nós percebermos como é que nós estamos a lidar com estes símbolos que nos rodeiam, como é que nós somos influenciados por estas coisas materiais que parecem não activas, mas que, na verdade, são muito activas. O fio condutor não deve ser uma narrativa fechada, mas é uma tentativa de colocar algumas perspectivas possivelmente factuais, perto umas das outras, para suscitar pensamento.” Mais uma vez, a sua arte é política também... “Além de muitas coisas, eu acho que é inevitável, com a História e as histórias que são transportadas através do tempo, através dos nossos corpos, através das nossas experiências e, particularmente, com as minhas - tanto a minha relação com Angola, com o meu país, com Luanda, a cidade em que eu cresci, mas também as minhas relações macro igualmente históricas e profundas, por exemplo, a relação com Portugal. É inevitável o corpo despolitizar-se. Não tenho muito interesse em etiquetas, mas a obra é, sim, política.”O que representa para si ter uma exposição individual no MoMA PS1?“É a minha primeira individual no MoMA PS1, mas também é o meu primeiro show num museu. É um marco importante, é um momento importante. A conversa com uma instituição é diferente de expor num contexto de uma galeria comercial ou de uma feira. A abrangência da exposição é completamente diferente, o PS1 é visitado por volta de 200.000 pessoas por ano e a exposição fica entre Abril e Outubro. O acesso que a obra tem é completamente diferente e eu já consigo sentir isso no feedback, nas pessoas que têm acedido e que têm entrado em contacto, mas também a nível do acesso de imprensa que tem a exposição. No fundo, tem a ver muito com números, mas também com a audiência que tem acesso, que é uma mistura de profissionais, mas também do público em geral.”Quer falar-nos um pouco do seu percurso?“Cresci em Luanda e saí com 18 anos. Fui para Lisboa, estudei Moda na Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade Técnica de Lisboa. Daí vou para Londres, em que estudei também moda -  bacharelato e mestrado - em Central Saint Martins e depois no Royal College of Arts. Agora vivo em Amsterdão e estou a fazer uma residência artística de dois anos. O percurso foi muito marcado por ter estudado moda, mas também por ter percebido que aquele espaço académico não deveria delimitar a forma com que eu queria trabalhar e o que eu me interessava fazer. Ainda assim, a minha obra começou muito com essa relação com o corpo - inicialmente eram peças de roupa, mas depois começo a interessar-me mais e a pensar que as coisas que alteram o ‘status quo' do corpo poderiam ser outras coisas: a cidade, o pó, a história, a politização do espaço doméstico.”

Or it could just be that LEGO games are no longer for me. (It's probably a little bit of both.) What I thought was going to be a nice chill time and a return to a game formula I remembered loving, quickly turned into a sad realization: maybe I've grown out of LEGO games. The constant need to change characters in order to interact with this and that, and having to randomly smash bricks until you find the ones you're looking for, frustrated me more than I expected in my old age--it's surprising how often I got stuck, unsure of what I needed to do in order to progress. My only hope is not Obi-Wan Kenobi, but that maybe LEGO Batman is just a bad LEGO game and the next time I return to the series will have a more favorable outcome. Until then, I'll just be left with a sour taste in mouth.

If Road Redemption was a pleasant surprise, Road Rage was a crashing disappointment. It didn't help that I played Road Rage immediately after playing Road Redemption, but where Road Redemption found a few elements to focus on and refine, Road Rage went the other route and tried doing too much. I can see a version of Road Rage that's good, but the Road Rage we have fails on all fronts and only manages to frustrate and bore instead of giving players anything to enjoy.

For a game with drift in the title, the drifting in KartRider: Drift felt terrible. That could be excused if everything else was good to great, but that wasn't the case. Sure, there's a lot of content there, from a large cast of drivers to a decent selection of tracks, but none of that mattered when the game wasn't fun to play, and when you're in a crowded genre full of some very big hitters, you need to be more than fine to stand out. Unfortunately for KartRider: Drift, that never happened. Now KartRider: Drift is dead in all forms except on PC in Korea and Taiwan, so let's toast to it one last time in this here episode of The Last Call. Anyway, that's it and that's all folks.

This episode is a bit of a wrestling grab bag (hey, I'm still getting over a cold, cut me some slack!):

This was a surprise. Early this year I wasn't sure what to play and wasn't quite ready for anything too big, so I perused my various libraries and picked out a few games that caught my eye. Road Redemption was one of those games. As someone who grew up with Road Rash and loved every iteration of it up to and including Road Rash 3D, any game that looks like Road Rash is going to get my attention. That said, I wasn't expecting much from Road Redemption based on the visuals, but as soon as I started playing, I fell in love. It may not be the prettiest game out there and it's rough around the edges, but it's great where it counts: it's just a lot of fun to play.

Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League isn't a bad game, it's just a bad Arkham game. If you asked anyone what they wanted out of a sequel to Batman: Arkham Knight, I doubt a single person would say, "I want a co-op, live service Suicide Squad game," but that's what we got: a perfectly fine cooperative shooter with enough cutscenes to rival the runtime of The Return of the King: Extended Edition and four playable characters who feel mostly the same outside of unique traversal mechanics. But I guess it could have been worse; it could have been Gotham Knights instead.

Some are incredible value-packed bundles, while others feel like quick cash grabs. But before we go any further, let's get something out of the way—Lou absolutely hates the original Tomb Raider games on PS1. Like, with a passion. He thinks they control like a drunk tank rolling down a hill. So, if you're a Tomb Raider fan, prepare for some heated opinions!We also talk about what makes a game collection truly great. Super Mario All-Stars on SNES set the gold standard, not just bundling games together but actually improving the graphics and gameplay—something modern collections rarely do. On the flip side, we discuss disappointments like Super Mario 3D All-Stars and GTA Trilogy: The Definitive Edition, which somehow managed to make their games worse.From Rare Replay to The Orange Box, we break down the best bang-for-your-buck collections, while also debating whether digital-only bundles are helping or hurting game preservation. Are these collections the best way to play retro games legally, or is emulation still king? Tune in and find out!Support the showWe've got merch!Check out the site for some awesome Gen 'S' swag :)

On this episode we cover the vague and nebulous topic of games we feel that we should like, but end up respecting and admiring more than actually enjoying. This leads us to covering the phenomenon of "eurojank", a recent game that's breaking records on Steam, a PS1-era beloved classic, and literally the biggest IP of all time.

It's unoriginal to blame negativity towards Batman: Arkham Knight on the batmobile, but hear me out. While most (all?) complained about the batmobile from a direct gameplay standpoint--how it felt and the repetitive missions--my complaint is an indirect one: I think the batmobile ruined Arkham Knight by forcing Rocksteady to change the way other aspects of the game controlled in order to accommodate the batmobile controls. It may seem like a small complaint to most and something I should've have "just gotten used to," but I never got used to the small changes in how Arkham Knight controlled and that ultimately ruined the game for me.

In 1992, Final Fantasy V came to Super Famicom in Japan, but in the west, the seminal JRPG would remain a mystery for years. In 1999 (via PS1!) English-speaking audiences would gain access to the game for the first time (unless you played fan translations via emulator, of course), and since then -- whether on GBA, PC, phones, or more recently modern consoles -- FFV has always held an interesting place in the pantheon of great Final Fantasy titles. Is it as monumental as IV, VI, or VII? Not at all. But it's still extremely special in its own right, an adventure predicated on a robust jobs system that would later help inspire the likes of Final Fantasy Tactics, jobs utilized by a small core group of protagonists that stand the test of time (and pull at your heartstrings, too). For KnockBack's triumphant return, we thought we'd get back into the Pixel Remasters where we left off, and needless to say, we've got a lot to go over. So get in your airship, or on your chocobo, or whatever mode of transportation speaks to you most, and join us for another old-school chat. Learn more about your ad choices.

Fred wrapped up Astro Bot with 307 rescued Bots and took a detour into Inscryption, thinking it'd be a quick card game. 24 hours later, he finally beat it and has a lot to say.Jake is still on Avowed and started Jedi Survivor, appreciating its Dark Souls-like combat that demands patience over button mashing.So, there's been a lot happening. Metro 2033 just hit its 15th anniversary, and 4A Games confirmed a new entry is on the way — though they're taking their time, saying it'll be “ready when it's ready.” Expect more news in 2025. Meanwhile, Life is Strange: Double Exposure didn't do so hot financially, but apparently Dragon Quest 3's success softened the blow. Honestly, this might be the end of Max's story.In other news, the PS Portal is expanding its game library, now letting you stream over 50 PS1 and PSP titles without needing a PS5. And have you seen the new Silent Hill F trailer? It's set in 1960s Japan and looks creepy as hell — plus it tackles some heavy themes like gender discrimination, child abuse, and graphic violence. Definitely not for the faint of heart.Oh, and guess what? Power Wash Simulator 2 is happening, though still no VR support. Also, Space Marine III is in development, which is pretty exciting. Lastly, Jason Blundell, known for his work on Call of Duty: Black Ops and Zombies, started a new studio called Dark Outlaws Games.

As my full Arkham playthrough continues, we find ourselves at a new low with the game most people forget even exists: Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate, the downloadable side-scrolling Metroidvania that's 90% tedious, 10% interesting. In many ways it feels like a bonus little side story to Arkham Origins and not an essential entry, so it's easy to see why it's often forgotten about; though, the fact it isn't that great of a game (probably) doesn't help either. It's biggest crime, however, is its desire to stay too true to the Arkham formula, instead of trying to find an identity of its own.

This week Nathan and Chris are joined by freelance writer Aidan Moher to discuss his upcoming book about Suikoden I and II, a pair of sneakily influential JRPGs from the PS1 era that, yes, are very much worth writing an entire book about. Then we discuss news from the eye of the pre-GDC storm: Next week thousands of game developers will convene in San Francisco to network and exchange knowledge, but a growing number of non-US-based devs are dropping out due to Trump's hostile policies and erratic governance. After that we talk about Sony and Microsoft both introducing new unwanted AI features in the same week. Whose is worse? We'll let you decide. Lastly, we design the one product that should include generative AI: a fucked-up private jet for rich people that definitely works just fine.Credits- Hosts: Nathan Grayson, Chris Person, & special guest Aidan Moher- Podcast Production & Ads: Multitude- Subscribe to Aftermath!About The ShowAftermath Hours is the flagship podcast of Aftermath, a worker-owned, subscription-based website covering video games, the internet, and everything that comes after from journalists who previously worked at Kotaku, Vice, and The Washington Post.

We got stories, background information and more about this specific game and we lay it all out right here. This was supposed to include all of the PS1 era final fantasy games but it ended up just being about FF7. There might be a few spoilers here so tread carefully if you haven't yet played the game.

Update on our week:  Another week together.  We start off the conversation with Andy and his purchase of R36S.  Andy gives us his thoughts on this retro handheld game console.  This console plays NES, SNES, N64, PS1 along with PSP and plenty more.  Andy got a deal, but was it worth it?  Noel mentioned that a PC software Launchbox is an excellent way to play on your PC.  Noel has been gaming and beats an indie game, Never Alone.  This game is based in the Alaskan snowy plains.  Noel mentioned his new PC in the last recording, but goes into more details in this episode.  His new graphics card is a RTX 5080.  It was challenging getting this graphics card as it is the newest release and everyone is looking for it.  Noel's hope is that this beefy PC will last a few years since it is future proof.  Daniel watches an older move in Tropic Thunder.  After rewatching this movie, the crew feels that this movie might not have been released now a days.  Daniel also watches HBO Max The Fall of Diddy.  This documentary brings up some details on the Puff Daddy scandals.  The last thing Daniel watched was the Netflix documentary, American Murder Gabby Petito.  Netflix goes over the disappearance of Gabby Petito in 2021 and the weird reaction from the boyfriend Brian Laundrie and his parents.   Article for the week: Researcher Claims Jack the Ripper Identified With 100% DNA Match https://973thedawg.com/jack-the-ripper-identified-dna-match/   Warning: May have Strong Language and Content.   ========== Thank you to everyone who enjoys what we do.  If you like what we do, please spread the word of our show.

I thought I played Batman: Arkham Origins when it originally came out. I was wrong. When I booted up the game on my Xbox 360, all I had was a 5% completed save file from 11 years ago to the day, so what I thought was going to be another Second Run was actually an Attack the Backlog. I don't know if it's because it was all new to me or if it's just a better game (or maybe a little of both), but I had a significantly better time with Arkham Origins than I did with Arkham City. Arkham Origins takes what Arkham City did and simplifies and focuses it, delivering an overall more satisfying experience for someone like me who isn't a Batman super fan. It may not reach the heights of Arkham Asylum, but it's a worthy addition to the Arkham saga and should be treated on an equal footing with the Rocksteady-developed Arkham games.

Some great new functionality being added to consoles old, new, and even a whole new FOSS based handheld to check out! The wpa2psp plugin for PSP was released and took off, allowing most PSP consoles to get back onto modern WiFi networks again. The PS Vita gets some more love with a couple more ports, one for Carmageddon and another being the Ultimate Spiderman game on Android. We even go to the library on this episode thanks to the Video Game History Foundation's launch of a digital library! PS5's JAR Loader gets updated as we now see read and write access on firmwares up to 7.61! A newer minimalist type setup for a PlayStation ODE is shown thanks to PicoStation's recent updates allowing for better compatibility across the PS1's library. After the pleasant surprise of Grand Theft Auto 3 being ported to the Dreamcast, we're in for another surprise seeing the beginnings of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City being ported over! A whole new system you can build from scratch, the Game Bub, is a project we check out being a handheld FPGA console compatible with the Game Boy family of games. Finally, we take a look at... McDonald's India API security? Yeah, I won't explain that one, just give it a listen and a laugh.

Text us and say hello!Episode 39 is here, and Lou and I are spinning our way into Crash Bandicoot on the PS1! While it's a fantastic game, it definitely has its flaws—mainly, the brutal difficulty. Precision platforming in a Z-axis environment can be frustrating, and we debate whether Crash should even be considered a true 3D platformer since you're always limited to just two directions at a time.We also take a dive into the history behind the game, Sony's quest for a mascot, and how Crash became a PlayStation icon. Then, because we can't help ourselves, we go off on a tangent about the wild world of collecting retro games new in box just to never open them—because honestly, what's the point?So, grab your Aku Aku mask and join us for this jam-packed episode!Support the showWe've got merch!Check out the site for some awesome Gen 'S' swag :)

As we continue down the road of dissecting Final Fantasy 7 like some bizarre Hojo experiment, we arrive at story and themes.
