Better late than never, and this episode makes up for the delay (which was precipitated by a mixture of ennui and a series of white knuckle adventure junkets) by being extra long. It also includes an amazing and edifying segment on the high cost of living, and what you, yes you, can do about it! Also, talking robots, as always. On we float. This week, we begin the discussion with Heavy Rain and episodic vs. long form experiences, continue on to more L.A. Noire and Assassin’s Creed, and then transition into some dark and soulfully confessional Dark Souls confessions. It gets pretty real.
The music for this episode was provided by the fantastic Holographic Sticker Club. The intro is taken from Gravitational Collapse, and the outro from Drop 5.
Pick up “This is not a Tset” (pay what you want).
Links and Things We Screwed Up
– Rebecca’s new face was introduced in Assassin’s Creed 3.
– The original leader of the Assassins (in the real world) was Hassan-i Sabbah (Aleks got him confused with the fictional author of the Necronomicon).
– On Scrubs, the character of Elliot Reid was portrayed by Sarah Chalke. She also played Becky on Roseanne, which is actually a pretty decent sitcom.
– Probably other stuff (“I’m really not as thorough about this, as I probably should be.” — Aleks)
