    009 - 'Lego: Builder's Journey'

    Welcome back to Let’s Play Arcade! The outline of this show is simple. We’ve got: Two best friends. One randomly selected Apple Arcade game. Two fresh new semi-randomly selected beers (we basically just grab something new that we see on the shelf). This episode we jump into Lego: Builder’s Journey, a beautifully crafted puzzler with a touching, silent story. We also chat a lot about Coronavirus / COVID-19 — keep in mind that this was recorded about a month ago and John has since cancelled his plans for a road trip through the United States (and also the border is closed anyways). Now available only on Apple Arcade! LEGO Builder’s Journey is a poetic puzzle that takes place in a LEGO brick world, brought to life with the most accurately rendered LEGO elements yet to feature on screens. Be taken through a breathtaking world filled with brick-by-brick effects, accompanied by a beautiful soundtrack.

    008 - 'Cricket Through The Ages' On Apple Arcade

    Welcome back to Let’s Play Arcade! The outline of this show is simple. We’ve got: Two best friends. One randomly selected Apple Arcade game. Two fresh new semi-randomly selected beers (we basically just grab something new that we see on the shelf). We don’t talk about the game at all before we record, so we’ll be learning each other’s thoughts and impressions live on air. At the end of each episode, we’ll also randomly draw the game for our next offering, so you’ll always know what’s coming up on the next adventure. This episode, John and Derek play a game about a sport they’re not familiar with… that doesn’t seem to have anything to do with the actual sport. Swing bats and throw balls through the intertwined histories of humankind and cricket in this one button, physics-driven game. Over a thousand years ago the human race teetered on the edge of extinction. Our ancestors were helpless against the mighty behemoths of the land. And then, salvation…the game of cricket was invented! Go alone, or take a friend, on a journey through the rich and exquisitely accurate history of cricket in Cricket Through the Ages. We’ve had a blast making Let’s Play Arcade! so far, and we really hope that you’re enjoying it too! If you have any feedback for us, we’d love to hear it at derek@geekscape.net. Anything you listeners can do to help spread the word about the podcast would be immensely appreciated — from sharing it on social media like Facebook or Twitter, to leaving us five stars (or even a review) on Apple Podcasts, to sending it to a single friend, it can all make a massive difference! Thanks again for coming along on this ride! Intro, Outro themes by Arcade High

    007 - 'Dear Reader' on Apple Arcade

    Welcome back to Let’s Play Arcade! The outline of this show is simple. We’ve got: Two best friends. One randomly selected Apple Arcade game. Two fresh new semi-randomly selected beers (we basically just grab something new that we see on the shelf). We don’t talk about the game at all before we record, so we’ll be learning each other’s thoughts and impressions live on air. At the end of each episode, we’ll also randomly draw the game for our next offering, so you’ll always know what’s coming up on the next adventure. This episode, after John finally found a game that he loved (and actually considered a game) with last week’s The Pinball Wizard… we then drew a game about reading and you can probably guess how things go. Dear Reader lets you curl up and play your favorite books, turning classic literature into clever word puzzles. Unscramble passages from famous books, unlock unique puzzles, and add new books to your library. Dear Reader includes fifty literary classics and dozens of different word puzzles, from unscrambling anagrams to swapping lines of text. As far as we know, this is the first game where you can dive in and play with the actual written words from so many tempting books. We’ve had a blast making Let’s Play Arcade! so far, and we really hope that you’re enjoying it too! If you have any feedback for us, we’d love to hear it at derek@geekscape.net.

    006 - The Pinball Wizard

    Welcome back to Let’s Play Arcade! The outline of this show is simple. We’ve got: Two best friends. One randomly selected Apple Arcade game. Two fresh new semi-randomly selected beers (we basically just grab something new that we see on the shelf). We don’t talk about the game at all before we record, so we’ll be learning each other’s thoughts and impressions live on air. At the end of each episode, we’ll also randomly draw the game for our next offering, so you’ll always know what’s coming up on the next adventure. Part of the appeal of doing this show was just getting to “hang out” more often. Back in the day we’d be able to meet up for a beer, but because of where we live at this point, it just can’t really happen. For each episode of Let’s Play Arcade!, we’ll also be cracking open (and sort-of reviewing) a random beer as well. Neither of us really know anything about beer (or drink it all that often), so while we don’t know what anyone has to gain from us talking about them, we’ll see what happens! Each episode will also feature an ‘after show’, where we’ll basically drivel on about whatever we feel like (stick around after the end theme if you want to listen). This episode, can The Pinball Wizard finally end John’s streak of hating everything that’s ever existed? You’ll have to listen to find out! Oh, young Apprentice! Atop the Mountain of Shadow, at the foot of the castle tower, the wisdom bestowed upon you shall come to pass. A pinball dungeon crawler awaits to test your skill! Ascend the castle tower. Level up your skills. Fulfill your destiny. Become the wizard you were born to be! The Pinball Wizard is an arcade adventure game where the main character is propelled into action by a set of flippers, like the ball in a pinball machine. Each level of the game is a contained area inside a tower. The goal of the game is to survive and get to the top of the tower. We’ve had a blast making Let’s Play Arcade! so far, and we really hope that you’re enjoying it too! If you have any feedback for us, we’d love to hear it at derek@geekscape.net.

    005 - Sonic Racing

    The outline of this show is simple. We’ve got: Two best friends. One randomly selected Apple Arcade game. Two fresh new semi-randomly selected beers (we basically just grab something new that we see on the shelf). We don’t talk about the game at all before we record, so we’ll be learning each other’s thoughts and impressions live on air. At the end of each episode, we’ll also randomly draw the game for our next offering, so you’ll always know what’s coming up on the next adventure. Each episode will also feature an ‘after show’, where we’ll basically drivel on about whatever we feel like (stick around after the end theme if you want to listen). This episode, Derek hopes that Apple Arcade’s Sonic Racing will help him re-live his PS Vita glory days. The game notes that you can “enjoy single-player mode, play with your friends or go big and play with people around the world in multiplayer mode,” — but just how enjoyable is SEGA’s latest? The world’s fastest hedgehog is back in SONIC RACING! Take control of one of 15 playable characters from the Sonic universe and compete in the ultimate multiplayer racing experience. COLLECT power-ups, SET traps and ATTACK competitors all while driving at high speed. Ready, Set, RACE!

    004 - Spaceland

    NOW WITH FIXED LEVELS — Sorry for any inconvenience to those who downloaded the episode early! Note: Derek talks about Phoenix Point debuting on Apple Arcade. Phoenix Point is definitely not on Apple Arcade, and it’s actually not on iOS or iPad OS at all. He’s sorry for leading you astray! Big thanks to listener Ed for pointing this out. Welcome back to Let’s Play Arcade! The outline of this show is simple. We’ve got: Two best friends. One randomly selected Apple Arcade game. Two fresh new semi-randomly selected beers (we basically just grab something new that we see on the shelf). We don’t talk about the game at all before we record, so we’ll be learning each other’s thoughts and impressions live on air.

Each episode will also feature an ‘after show’, where we’ll basically drivel on about whatever we feel like (stick around after the end theme if you want to listen). This episode we dig deep into Spaceland, which is “probably the most dynamic turn-based strategy in the spirit of the old school” (at least according to the game’s App Store description). It’s a turn-based strategy title (think XCOM), and we have a lot to say about it. It is probably the most dynamic turn-based strategy in the spirit of the old school. Less covers, more action! Land on a lost planet and show the mutants what you are made of. Shoot, kick, blow up and destroy. You will put together the most reckless team of fighters and unravel the mysteries of the mystical planet following the best traditions of science fiction. We’ve had a blast making Let’s Play Arcade! so far, and we really hope that you’re enjoying it too! If you have any feedback for us, we’d love to hear it at derek@geekscape.net.

    001 - Introductions

    Welcome to Let's Play Arcade! Let's Play Arcade is hosted by John and Derek, two best friends and former roommates now separated by the Strait of Georgia. In each episode of Let's Play Arcade, your hosts will: 1. Dissect and discuss a single game available on the new Apple Arcade service... which was chosen for them completely at random. 2. Crack open, drink, and share their thoughts on whatever beer they grabbed off the shelf this week (and neither of them know anything about beer). 3. Catch up and make fun of each other. Whether it’s a magical or a horrible experience, they’ll force themselves through each week's game, share their thoughts, and let you know whether or not the title is worth your time! At the end of each episode, they’ll also randomly select the game for the following show, so you always know what's coming up on the next adventure. This Week: Derek and John introduce themselves, and give their first thoughts on the Apple Arcade service (note: this episode was recorded a little while back, so these were pretty early impressions just a week after Apple Arcade released). Derek downs a Banana Bread Beer from Eagle Brewery, while John drinks a Bastion Blonde Ale from White Sails Brewing. Enjoy our first episode, and please let us know what you think!
