TL;DP (Too Long; Didn't Play‪)‬ tldp

Our first recording using Anchor! So it didn't go quite as planned, but we hope you like the result. Today's episode is a special Halloween theme for you all, where we talk about numerous spelllings of Vampire, digress into any number of topics including tabletop gaming and Indian culture (it's almost educational... almost) Satish reveals his most horrifying secret - that he actually finished a game in less than 10 hours! and Ben invites you to watch the Gregory Horror Show. 

Hello! We're back after a little hiatus. As this is a hobby podcast, we took a short break while work got manic, and forgot to upload this episode while swapping some files about! 

In it, we're joined by our now resident co-presenter Maddy and discover she does play things that aren't Guild Wars. A shocking revelation from Satish teaches us that you don't always have to start at the very beginning, and Ben delves into the world of Skandanavian folklore with an older gem from Simogo called 'Year Walk'.

In this episode we're joined by a special guest, Maddy. As a PC gamer she brings a little extra spice to the traditional tl;dp recipe. The trio give their thoughts on the recent CyberPunk 2077 gameplay reveals (We're not popular enough to actually be invited to them yet - the cheek of it!) and we discover Satish has nightmares about being nibbled to death by adorable fluffy animals - probably something to do with his childhood guilt of lying to his parents about the need for a PC... or maybe not.

Welcome to the world of Too Long, Didn't play, where we talk about games a bit, and then choose a short title we've really enjoyed, and a long title we never finished. In this episode we start with a few thoughts on the recent Sony Playstation 5 Announcement Event, before delving into the world of robots large and small for our short games. For the longer titles, Ben struggles to keep his sanity, but Satish, as always, is living for the banter.

In the highlt anticipated 3rd episode, Ben and Satish seem to accidently drift into a similar pattern of thinking, where despite it's perceived length, audio plays a huge part in how we play and perceive our choices. Except when Ben talks about Another World; the only audio in that is a weird alien voice and the sound of death. Multiple deaths.

In what is an unintentional theme for our second episode, we chat a little about developments in the upcoming console generations, and some interesting new horror titles on the horizon. Ben then describes his love and subsequent dissapointment with the Project Zero (Fatal Frame) series, and Satish shares memories of Fable.
