478: The Last Door Season 2
Episode | June 5th, 2025 | 1 hr 42 mins
We found a few more doors to check. The Last Door returns with a few more episodes to show off it's unique lo-fi adventure game style. While we're still fans, the second game doesn't work for us quite as much as the first. Still lots of cool stuff to talk about though!

Ace Combat 4: Shattered Skies (Preview)
Episode | May 22nd, 2025 | 42 mins 15 secs
What if combat was less about hitting your opponent, and more about circling around them at very high speeds? Ace Combat 4 is one of the genre standards for the dog-fighting genre. There aren't that many games in there, so when people like one it generally stands out. But is there enough there to entertain the non-fan of the genre?

WOFF 473 Preview: The Suffering
Episode | April 17th, 2025 | 35 mins 21 secs
Way back when, when it felt like horror games were few and far between, we would settle for The Suffering. It's a real B-delivery of some A-level ideas. If you have nostalgia, it's justified, if you don't have nostalgia, wow what a weird game. Plus, there's a morality system based on how well you can not hit the NPCs.
