It's your typical group-of-young-adults-get-stranded/stuck-in-a-remote-location-and-then-get-hunted-down-by-the-savage-cannibalistic-locals picture but you know what? That's what makes it work! Have a seat with Melle and Jared as they discuss 2003's backwoods horror romp Wrong Turn. Our hosts get into why they each consider it foundational in their horror upbringings and why the film following  a tried and true formula makes it such a palatable piece in the genre.

Splinter Cell is a tough episode for me. I was once a secret agent that snuck into Government agencies to steal briefcases full of data sticks, and it isn't something I like to talk about.   Also, it's a really impressive game, but it's a stealth game, and as an impatient dipshit, I fucking hate stealth games.    So this is one of those episodes where I'm trying to walk the line and explain why I don't really like it, but why there's not really a lot wrong with it, either. It's not perfect, but it's revolutionary as hell. And honestly, I think it has a better game engine than it's stealthy opposition, Metal Gear.    My buddy, Bradley McCue, returns to the show this week. He's a big Metal Gear fan, I don't particularly like stealth games, and I thought we'd be the perfect duo to review a stealth game that isn't Metal Gear.   And before we anger all you Splinter Cell junkies, I sneak in (see what I did there?) another edition of the 'Remember The Game? Infamous Intro'!   This week, we get into our most satisfying gaming moments. A listener asks me what I would have done differently if I could go back in time and call the shots at Sega. And will physical copies of modern video games be sought after like NES cartridges are in thirty years?   Plus we have another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 Xbox badasees: Hitman 2, Max Payne, and Thief: Deadly Shadows.    Are you on social media? Of course you are.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we continue our discussion about Grand Theft Auto III. We actually spend a little time talking about the counter-argument, that this game extends a middle finger to the moral scolds who wanted to cage video games, and then talk about specifics about its streaming, and talk about the dissonance between its systems and mission design, before turning to feedback. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary.

The crew were in San Francisco last week for the Game Developer's Conference, where they spoke to developers and gambled on the results of the annual awards show. Now they’re back to tell you all about their Stateside adventures. Between sessions of Far Cry 5, of course. Adam chatted to Civ IV creator Soren Johnson about his upcoming 4X game. John spoke to Paul Neurath, the creator of Ultima Underworld II. And Brendan was at the awards ceremony at the Independent Games Festival, where he quizzed Tim Schafer. None of these people actually feature in the podcast, but look at all the names we've dropped!

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross are the hands that rock Thief: Deadly Shadows's cradle. Thief: Deadly Shadows won our Fall 2015 Stealth Game poll, and we're glad it did. Not just because it gave us an excuse to talk about the Shalebridge Cradle for 30 minutes... but because it's a beloved series, and a kind of stealth game we haven't covered before. Garret's brand of first-person stealth led to games like Dishonored, which speaks to this series' credit... Even if Deadly Shadows overstays its welcome by about 5 hours.

When discussing fear in games, it's almost impossible to ignore the shadow cast by The Shalebridge Cradle, the infamously chilling mission from 2004's Thief: Deadly Shadows. So, what better way to start Season Two than by talking to RPS co-founder and comics writer Kieron Gillen to tackle that topic directly? Discussing Shalebridge with Unlimited Hyperbole, Kieron talks about how Deadly Shadows evolved throughout development, the inspiration behind the level's approach to fear and the best thing he's ever accomplished as a games journalist. Unlimited Hyperbole is a weekly podcast about videogames and the stories we tell about them. The show is divided into seasons of five episodes, each with a topic that’s used as a prompt when interviewing special guests. This season we’re talking about “Fear Itself”.

We recently uncovered an issue about online gaming that stung us as gamers. Justin, Cole, Gifford, and Christina revisit FatUglyOrSlutty.com and try to get to source of the offensive behavior girl gamers endure just to play their favorite games. Send in your questions to simon@horriblenight.com or @TheHorribleShow It felt odd a few episodes ago to have 4 guys commenting about the abuse girls receive while gaming online, so we thought we’d bring in Christina to further evaluate the situation. Of course, we have to get through our Threesomes of the Week and a debate about the worstbest superhero movies. The On the Spot question asks: Which guy stereotypes in video games annoy you the most? And Gifford is shown that there are more bad ass scientists in games than there used to be. We kick off the Games Need Women conversation with Christina’s reaction to FatUglyOrSlutty.com while trying to figure out what games encourage/discourage the negative types of behavior that attack girl gamers. We take a break to highlight some of the stand out women in gaming from Roberta Williams to Amy Hennig before trying to find some solutions to weeding out the jerks online. Our next Horrible Night Out is announced for Friday April 15th at Net Heads so be on the look out for more information soon. Finally, we give big props to FreddieW and his ridiculous YouTube videos.
