Episode 89: Firewatch With Me

Leave a reply

The gang is all here and we’ve all played Firewatch! Stay tuned for an upcoming episode of The Spoiling Point about it, but in the meantime, hear Matt, Ethan, Ricardo and Amber talk about of few of their thoughts on the game, plus Yarn Yoshis, the nature of crypts vs. tombs (Nicolas Cage has a role to play in both,) ramshackle wrestling games, and Matt’s HOT TAKES on which hip hop artist wrote *recent popular song*. Learn how Remedy and Microsoft are Quantum Breaking people’s hearts, what people think of Kanye West’s video game, why it’s a good thing we won’t have another Assassin’s Creed and Destiny this year, and what our DUMB NEWS story is this week (or cheat and look below, I’m not your dad.)

Ethan: XCOM 2, Firewatch, Yoshi’s Woolly World

Ricardo: Firewatch, 5-Star Wrestling ReGenesis

Matt: Firewatch

Amber: Rise of the Tomb Raider, Firewatch

Episode 80: Yokai no gaburichyuu

Leave a reply

Matt, Ethan, and Ricardo join up for the last podcast of 2015 to take a look at the last few games of the year we haven’t played yet. On this episode we talk some more Tales from the Borderlands, Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate, Tomb Raider, and Japanese candy!

Note: Please excuse some audio issues including: sounds of chewing into mics for about 2 minutes before the News and Matt’s mic inexplicably turning off for the last 5 minutes. That second one is probably a relief anyway.

Top five highlights of E3 2012! Updated: 06/05/12

While it is still very early in the days of E3 2012, a lot of press conferences have already been done. Out of all the new information that has flown out of E3 this is personally what I have found to be the highlights. Feel free to disagree and let me know about it!

5. Nintendo

Even before Nintendo has had their press conference, they have released new information out on their Nintendo direct channel. The information wasn’t release dates, hardware specs or anything huge, but it was interesting to see Nintendo’s console and its features slowly be revealed. So far we have a new controller to buy on top of the WiiU’s GamePad, in the form of the Wii U Pro controller. This controller mimics the tradition controllers being used by current generation consoles in an effort to make the Wii U easier to develop for and port 3rd party titles. My favorite feature reviled about the controller, was the use of a full fledged D-pad. I feel this will give Nintendo an edge on the competition when it comes to releasing older titles and indie games on the Wii U.
