    Episode 35: Do You Like Scary Video Games?

    Episode 35: Do You Like Scary Video Games?

    Welcome back to the Kotaku Australia Podcast for Episode 35! It was Halloween when Emily and I recorded this episode, and we used it as an opportunity to talk about some of our favourite scary games, including Amnesia and Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem!

    Meanwhile, I've been playing Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and I'd like to yell about how good it is for a bit. Thank you for indulging me.

    A bit of a sad announcement: though the show concludes with Emily and saying we'll see you next week, it turns out we won't. This is the final episode of The Kotaku Australia Podcast. Our aural experiment has come to an end -- for now. We have plans to create more video and pod content in the future, but for now, we are putting this particular project to bed. Where will be pop up next? Who knows.

    This feed will be come an archive of every episode of the show, and we may update it from time to time in the future when we have an interview or review we feel is podcast worthy.

    Thank you for listening, for watching, for reviewing, for telling your friends about our show. We're grateful and we've loved making it for you.

    See you round, Space Cowboy.

is good

I would like to thank fine people at Kotaku Australia for discovering the technology to beam podcasts directly through the core of the Earth so that I and others can enjoy their dulcet video game commentary, here in the US. There are literally dozens of games to choose from and I can’t be bothered picking them week to week when I’m too busy playing them. Luckily Ruby and David have the inside scoop on what’s hot and what’s not as well as the courage to still be funny despite openly being gamers. I like being able to play these good games, then recommending them to my friends so I look like a genius for discovering them. However, it never works out because I recommended this podcast first. Keep up the good work!
