I went full blue blur with this topic. I did too much research. I delved too deep.
I thought this topic would be a bit of fun, I'd recount a few games, talk about some history, and chat with two very good friends about Sonic and his deeds... Little did I know, I had stumbled foot in mouth firstedly into the wide cavernous tunnels of Sonic Lore.
We have a wonderful guest once again, my good pal Laura! Go check out her stuff over at @yamiLasagna on twitter.

This is probably my favorite episode we've done so far (this is Joe writing this, that's right, I write these things, I am SORRY)...
There's some huge conversation to be had about what original ideas truly mean for video games, how rehashing is done within the medium, the inherite difference between games that are deemed as original and even stand in their own genre ala souls-like, or strand-type games (you heard me).
So please give this one a proper listen, share it with your friends who have way more fully formed opinions than us, and then everyone please slide in the DMs/emails, we want to hear your thoughts on this deep deep weird topic.
PS next week we have a special guest again!!

We played Pyre for this months gameclub! Did you give it a crack also? Did you play it? Tell me you did... You better have. And you better tell us about it!
In the meantime though, you can listen to this episode. Confirm your suspicions, reinforce your opinion, build the library of experience that you need to be able to talk about games more fluently and eloquently in the future! And play some dope or maybe not so dope games in the process.
Next months game is: Slime Rancher 2! It's free on gamepass, so we hope you'll join us for that one also.

Another Joe episode. This time going into some more detail about what it's like animating for both movies and games, comparing the two, contrasting them, holding each one in both hands at arms length and seeing which is more spicy to behold.
Games Club happens next weekend, so make sure you bring your finest Pyre opinions.

How many game devs does it take to screw in a lightbulb? NONE, they're all too busy trying to world build.
That's right, this week we go over the subtle yet planet smashing art of world building. What kinds of world building are they, what do they get up to, and how do games build their worlds. We crawl across the desert for 30 days and 30 nights, to bring you the wisdom of which we speak... We hold these statements to be true but also up for debate... We encourage you to email us and tell us about your ideas on world building so we may hold them up to the light, flip them over and try to see the shiny authenticator strip to tell if they're legit or not.
Join us. Build the world. And then build your weekend!

This is the crispy episode. We recorded it later, way later, than usual. Joe's been flat out with work, Daz is recovering harder than usual, we're both unable to follow a single line of reason. But here we are, shoveling good vibes directly into your ears.
This week Joe speaks for a solid 5 hours about how good the new Resident Evil 4 Remake is, and then we discuss the topic for a bit.
How weird is Fortnite, eh?

We played Citizen Sleeper for our games club game this month, and we have some THOUGHTS about it.
So lay down the chits, slide ever slippery and hackerishly into the Eye, as we embark on a cyberpunk, but cozy, journey into Citizen Sleeper.

You ever played a game, then put it down shortly after because something big happened in your life? You ever played half a game, wished you finish it, but never did?
You ever played a game years ago, loved it, and then never heard anyone speak about it ever?
Well, we have a few of those... 5 to be exact... and here's those in an order we deem to be something of importance.
Come get your news, your hot goss, and some video game chatter to help you get into the weekend mood.
