    #150 Should Zelda really stay open world? What about that Ocarina of Time remake?

    Thanks to Xsolla for supporting this episode, learn more at https://x.la/iv-moriarty Breath of the Wild brought a surge of new and returning players to Zelda, but it left core fans of the traditional 3D style yearning for another entry in that style. While it seems like the open world style is here to stay...should it? We realized that we...don't care that much! Also, we recorded this right before the Ocarina of Time remake rumors started swirling again, so it's accidentally very timely. Happy 150 episodes!

    #149 Making the worst hypothetical game adaptations

    Thanks to Xsolla for supporting this episode, learn more at https://x.la/iv-moriarty Some of us finally watched The Minecraft Movie recently, and it had us thinking. If there were still bad video game tie-ins for movies and shows, what are the worst ones we could think of?

    #148 When does lore actually matter in a game?

    Thanks to Xsolla for supporting this episode, learn more at https://x.la/iv-moriarty Some games have hours of lore for you to sift and read through. Some choose to offload it to other materials, like books, short films, or websites. An ARG isn't out of the question now and then...but we have to ask, when is it too much? When does it actually matter? If it isn't part of the main experience, is it adding that much?
