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

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.

With Ricardo out sick it’s up to Matt and Ethan to hold down the fort! Unfortunately… we played barely any games this week. But we did dip our toes into the new Tomb Raider and play some spooky scary indie game. Plus some MMO nostalgia and a little more Just Cause 3. Also the joys of helping friends move and excitement over a brand new space adventure series coming that we think might just be the surprise hit of the year.
