Tanked Up Out of Lives

The full team is back this week to chat about Nintendo’s continued battle with the internet. Ben and Lucy review Botany Manor, and Lucy gives her thoughts on Sophia the Traveler. Ben then chats about his first impressions of Sweet Transit, which somehow comes back to a chat about Lego. The episode ends with Lucy’s quiz. To drink Aadil kicks us off with Gather & Store from Siren. Lucy has Beak’s Cushy, and Ben has Martian Dynamo from Atom Beers.

A rare occurrence where we all have games to chat about! Lucy played 20 Small Mazes, which is what it says on the tin. Lucy and Aadil get distracted with Balatro and the costs of tracking information. Ben played Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles. Aadil finished The Case of the Golden Idol and all the DLCs. Lucy has Cortex, a juicy IPA collab between Atom and Junk Soul Smothered followed by Baron’s Single Hop DIPA, Long Boy. Ben has Wiper & True’s KaleiDIPA (again), and Aadil has the Ooster-festbier from Hasen-brau and Brasserie de la Senne’s Bruxellensis Brett Pale Ale

The whole crew is present, but in an inversion Aadil has played most of the games. We start with a discussion about the Kotaku resignation, prompted by managements push away from news and opinions towards 50 game guides a week. Aadil and Lucy talk a bunch about Balatro while Ben waits patiently in the wings. Aadil continues on to talk about a game Lucy brought to his attention a few episodes back Slice and Dice. And then the episode is rounded out with the back of the box quiz from Lucy. Lucy had the Sundrips Honey DIPA from Deya. Ben had the KaleiDIPA from Wiper and True, and Aadil had the more smoothie than beer Azvex’s Mana Smoothie Sour.

Lucy is freshly back from Manchester and talks to Ben about her time there visiting a bunch of different bars and breweries. She’s also played some Geometry Survivor and a little more Modern Warfare 3. Ben breaks out a big boy and drinks Puttty from Verdant whilst Lucy remembered it was Orval day.

A shorter affair following our 400th episode, Ben and Aadil get together for a beer and some gaming chat. They discuss Warner Brothers doubling down on the live service model following the release of Suicide Squad Kill The Justice League. There are puzzle games as Ben previews Preserve, whilst Aadil talks about NYT Strands. To end Ben gives a run down of his first 16 odd hours in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. The beers are from Stigbergets and an Arbor Ales X Emperor’s Brewery collab.
