Hace 432 semanas que en Café Fandango impartimos conocimientos absolutos sobre el idioma español y en el episodio de hoy te comentamos que todo tiene un módico precio de 9 millones de pesos. Aceptamos Mercado Pago y juegos de Wadjet Eye. Además de ponerle precio a esta obra maestra del idioma español, en este programa vas a escuchar a Seba que anduvo siguiendo a la sombra de Lara Croft, a Gus que está por terminar el Dungeons of Dreadrock y a Edu que arrancó el Degrees of Separation, arrancó y terminó el Excavation of Hob's Barrou y siguió con el Football Manager y con el Crisis Core. Después pasamos a las "noticias" de la semana donde rascamos el fondo del tarro para hablar de algo como la posible fecha de lanzamiento del Starfield, de un mod para arruinar el Fallout 2 y de una pequeña cagada que EA se mandó con el Madden. Cerramos con la Pregunta Fandango donde la gente nos comenta sus Momentos Fandango favoritos del 2022.

On this episode Seoirse and Tomas join up without Laura unfortunately who, now that she's a major Youtube start will never return to this small podcast. That and she had some connection issues so we may, hopefully see her again next month. She did however record reviews for two games she's played including creepy horror Nightmare Frames and definitely not a horror, Stray, where you play as a cute little kitty causing havoc in a cyberpunk world. Elsewhere Tomas reviews Tacoma and tells us whether he's “shore” about Lovecraft horror The Shore. Finally Seoirse tries to catch the Intruder in Antiquonia and he tries to see if he's up to the task of being president in Suzerain (spoiler: he isn't). Plus they delve into the latest news including a new trailer for Return of Monkey Island with some choice worlds for some of the trolls, and a breaking news about a new Wadjet Eye game and much more!

Vi har spelat första delen i Blackwell-serien, från fantastiska Wadjet Eye, som gör peka och klicka-spel när de är som bäst. Laura, Sanni och Alex har lite olika åsikter om spelet men Spelcirkeln delar ut sitt högsta betyg på länge. Vi pratar spel. Gör det du med.

"Al que madruga, Dios lo ayuda" dicen por ahí, pero muchos se olvidan de la parte que sigue: "aunque a veces Café Fandango sale un rato más tarde" porque parece que es más específica. Esta semana en el programa vas a escuchar a Seba que está disfrutando mucho el Fall Guys a pesar de su carencia de cascadas, además del RDR2 donde se roba hasta la licencia para jugarlo y sigue disfrutando el Deponia. Gus por su lado terminó la campaña del Titanfall 2 y se enamoró del Return of the Obra Dinn, mientras que Edu confirma su amor por los juegos de Wadjet Eye con el Primordia y el "The Shivah". Después de algunos saludos, te comentamos los lanzamientos de la semana y pasamos de lleno a las pocas noticias que tenemos, donde se anuncia una versión mejorada del Witcher 3, una precuela para el Breath of the Wild, Ubisoft hizo un segundo evento cuarentenal, Microsoft suma a EA play al Xbox Game Pass y confirma la existencia de la Xbox Series S, junto a su precio y fecha de lanzamiento de la nueva generación. Cerramos con la Pregunta Fandango donde nos quejamos de juegos que nos parecieron versiones desmejoradas de otros.

In what seems like a missed opportunity this episode is not about the Sega Dreamcast. However it is Paul's first attempt at hosting the show and he takes us through three topics in a desperate attempt to keep you entertained. Topics discussed are 1) The Sims: Ancestry Simulation Edition 2) What are we playing... mate? Reviewing the Blade Runner game and Resonance by Wadjet Eye. 3) Reader Question(s). We hope you enjoy!

Well, after our troubles last time, we didn’t learn our lesson. What we did learn is that Dave Gilbert listened to our special episode with Infamous Adventures’ co-founder Shawn Mills about the problems they had recently gone through. And he offered to have a chat about the state of the business from the Wadjet EyeContinue reading SPECIAL II – Dave Gilbert, Wadjet Eye

In this first episode discussing recently remastered LucasArts classic Day of the Tentacle, we talk about the influence of adventure games generally and the reputed mis-reporting of games being dead, as well as talking about the format of this game in particular. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Note: Brett keeps referring to Monkey Island 2 and Secret of Monkey Island kind of interchangeably. We regret the error. Sections played: Hard to say! But we both tried to get to where Laverne drapes herself in the flag, about three hours of play.

On this week's episode, the founder of Wadjet Eye Games, Dave Gilbert, joins host Josiah Renaudin to discuss the current state of adventure games, the spotlight Double Fine's Kickstarter campaign put on the genre, how bundles can devalue your games, and the latest project coming out of Wadjet Eye.

How an attempt to give away free copies of Wadjet Eye's Blackwell Deception went haywire, and tens of thousands of keys disappeared into the night.
