Episode 13: Enslaved - Odyssey to the West but 14 Years Later (AKA The Andy Serkis Simulator)
Hello all,
Mitch and I sit down to talk about a gem of a game that Ninja Theory developed way back in 2010. The game sold poorly but was well received by critics.
While the game is a just-ok buddy puzzle action game, the ending is what truly sets it apart for its contemporaries.
I hope you enjoy! -
Episode 12: Hanging with Bungie Game Designer Danny Nanni - Destiny 2 and Other Things
Hello all,
A super duper special episode today - I sit down with Danny Nanni who is an Associate Gameplay Designer (Combat) at THE Bungie. Danny works on Destiny 2 and also pursues indie efforts in his free time.
We talk about games we enjoy and game development as a whole.
I am so grateful for Danny's time and you can read up on him over at his WEBSITE.
Also, don't forget to read more of a write up over on SUBSTACK. -
Episode 11: The Darkness 2 but 12 Years Later (QUAD WEAPONRY)
hello all!
Welcome back, happy spring, and I hate allergies. This week Jesse and Mitch talk about movies, games, and nostalgia. The focus on the episode is 2012's The Darkness 2 which still kicks ass and you should play it.
Don't forget to check out Mitch over on Divided by Werewolves as well. -
Episode 10: Castlevania Lords of Shadow but 14 years later (where my boi Alucard at)
Hello all!
Back at it again with an oddity that is a mixed bag but somehow sold incredibly well? Congrats, Konami! Lords of Shadow is WEIRD and its development equally so.
Enjoy the usual nonsense until we talk about Castlevania - for a full write up head to jessebartel.substack.com -
Episode 9: Shadow Warrior Novels w/Author Jerry Oltion AKA Ryan Hughes AKA THE MAN
Hello all,
We are back with Jerry Oltion to talk about the 1997 novels based on the PC hit Shadow Warrior. Shadow Warrior was the end of the build engine era right before Unreal and Half Life would arrive a year later.
Jerry was on previously to discuss his contribution to the Unreal novels in 1998 and we step just one year back in time to talk about a tonally different beast.
Enjoy and don't forget to find me on Substack. You can also find Jerry on his website. -
Episode 8: Max Payne 3 but 12 Years Later (aka old man do shoot shoot and bullet go slow)
Hello all,
Welcome to this week's episode where show regular Mitch Reeves talks to me (Jesse Bartel) about how great Max Payne 3 is. Also we are old!
Yes this is a long episode because we talk about nonsense and also the main topic. What can I say? We are men of many talents - just not useful ones!
