380: Shadowrun: Hong Kong (Part 1)
Episode | December 16th, 2022 | 2 hrs 30 mins
"Don't let perfect be the enemy of the good" month continues with the slightly worse but worthy follow up to the masterpiece Shadowrun Dragonfall. We've arrived in Hong Kong at the request of our adopted father but not all is what it seems.

378: Torment: Tides of Numenera Part One
Episode | December 1st, 2022 | 3 hrs 22 mins
What is the value of one game?
There are big shoes to fill and then there are comically huge shoes that can be made into houses for little old ladies. That was the job of Tides of Numenera, an excellent short story compilation that fails to capture the emotional resonance of it's predecessor. Here us talk about the generalities and Sagus Cliffs in this episode before hitting the end game next week!

Half Life Alyx (Preview)
Episode | November 17th, 2022 | 59 mins 11 secs
The Watch Out For Fireballs has been silent on the topic of The Half Life for a while now but it's time to wake up and smell the ashes! (I know this is mixing vortigaunt and g-man speak, and I don't care!)
Half Life Alyx is our first major foray into VR and not likely to be our last. Alyx is a great game for this because it's dedicated to being a full franchise entry, a return to form, with few compromises. Though it's a little long and your experience will likely vary (that's the nature of VR), this game is a breath of fresh air.
Thank you Elliot!

375: Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Episode | November 3rd, 2022 | 3 hrs 41 mins
When they say nobody asked for this, that's Gary Butterfield erasure. I asked for this. I exist!
I mean, sure, Adam Jensen is a pretty tough pill to swallow. He shaves his beard in an extremely obnoxious way. Further, this is clearly the middle chapter of a prequel trilogy, which might be the most direct recipe for an unimportant narrative. However....however....
All of the above, plus a regrettable marketing campaign, basically eclipsed the entire conversation about this immersive sim that plays incredibly well. This number is worth your time for level design alone. Hear us talk about why.

WOFF 374 Preview: The Evil Within 2
Episode | October 20th, 2022 | 50 mins 43 secs
Warning: Fluid chat!
It's sort of like limbo, in that you're seeing how low you can go but instead seeing how divorced a grizzled dadtagonist can get.
This is a good ass game despite a nonsense story. The biggest issue is it throws away it's biggest strength half way through, pulling you out of the genuinely innovative semi open world stealth and into a series of MindRealms(tm). Still, the play is the thing, and the play is good.
