    Welcome to the Indie Book Club!Each episode, we'll be playing some of our favorite indie games and discussing them with various VGU staff members, guests, and even listeners like you!While Graydon and Allan bank a couple Bastion episodes so they can finally get a real series going, Graydon and Emmett decided to get together and talk about 2024’s most polarizing game - Life is Strange: Double Exposure.Is it as bad as people say it is? Is it even worth playing? Is Amanda the greatest partner for Max Caulfield? All this and more on this very special (overdue) spoilercast of Deck Nine’s latest… achievement?Editor’s Note: This is the first explicit episode of the Indie Book Club. While we try to make all of them family-friendly and marked accordingly, this spoilercast needed to include swears, as it helped the overall chemistry flow. Seeing as Life is Strange covers some very mature themes, we deemed it okay to keep this one explicit.Also Graydon’s audio cuts out sometimes, so apologies for that glitch.If you have game requests, questions, or would like to jump in on an episode with us, please contact us:VGUGraydon@gmail.comOR@IBCVGU on TwitterAlso, make sure to follow our VGU Gaiden podcast feed!

    Steam Next Fest has Too Many Demos? | The Player's Club Podcast Ep. 156

    Welcome back to the club! There are…a lot of reasons to feel overwhelmed right now. Probably least of which is the boatload of demos that were available during this summer’s Steam Next Fest. With over 2000 demos, it can be hard to know which games are worth being hype for, but that’s why you’re here! This week, Jesse Guarascia and Dominic Tarason join the show to discuss the overwhelming nature of Steam Next Fest and point out some of our favorite games from the show. We have musical brawlers, turn-based dice games, and cursed antiques, so listen and fill that wishlist! Also, in the Whatcha Playin? Segment, Dominic talks about his time with Broken Arrow and The Hundred Line, Jessie talks about his time with The Alters, and Emmett talks about his time with Jump the Track and Resistance: Fall of Man.
