Kole, Ben, Dennis, and David talk about Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Forza Horizon 5, Portal Stories: Mel, and more!
This week we talk about a new spectrum on which we can analyze games: is it prescriptive, or is it permissive? Does it force you to conform to its demands, or does it say "yes" to the way you try to meet its challenges? This has been bubbling up for a while, and it was satisfying to talk about it.
We also answer your qu...

The Venture Bros. does what it does best: establish a new status quo, as the family moves to Manhattan to inherit Jonas Jr.'s business and fortune. This is a real grab-bag of an episode as the Ventures get settled, Dr. Mrs. the Monarch tries to keep the guild together, and the Monarch tries to get back into the swing of archi...

We know about Solid, Liquid, and Solidus Snake, but are you ready to meet their little brother Solid-ish Snake? The concept for this game is good: What is it like to be stranded behind enemy lines as a footsoldier in a time when wars are fought entirely by mechs? Too bad it squanders it by feeling terrible in the hands and be...

1, 2, Freddy's coming for you. 3, 4, the gates are open. This slasher classic bucked the trend of wordless, stoic villains in favor of a killer with a distinct personality who was obviously having fun. The teens of Elm Street don't know what's coming for them, as Freddy Krueger invades their dreams, attacking, killing, and se...

Imagine, if you will, a very bad boy. Now make him 100% worse. That doesn't come close to the awfulness of Dennis the Menace, the young child born to kill the old man. This movie was a nightmare, the old television show was boring, and this game is bad too. So we talk about the times we were menaces ourselves, but mostly we w...

Reventure is a cute little joke platformer about the many ways that quests can end. It's got a little Stanley Parable in it, along with a little Don't Shit Your Pants. It's not a bad game, and actually kinda neat, so we instead talk about Dangerous Animals shows, and Kole tortures Gary with home improvement chat.

What's brand new? We talk about as many systems and aesthetics as we can, in order to establish a basic understanding before we dive into mor...
