Hey folks!
I got an email from Patreon this morning telling me that due to popular demand, they are changing the multi-feed feature a bit next week. They will be making the default feed a combined feed of every podcast episode… so the firehose is coming back! Long live the firehose!
This is in addition to the separate feeds. So people who want everything can sub on the main feed, ...

It's not quite a blobber and it's quite an Ultima, so what is it? Might and Magic is a huge series and number 6 is a strange entry. You can recruit townspeople, tanks are pointless, and there are dungeons scattered about the map like litter. Join us, won't you?

SOPHIA now stands for something. But I'm not sure they actually tell you what.
The monster count on this one is really going to vary based on how you want to define the term.

What would it take to get you interested in football? Knights? Ogres? Vikings? Oh, none of the above… Well, you’re going to be very disappointed with this week’s game then. We’ll work on making tennis cooler next.
2025-03-17 14:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostWe're in the home stretch folks. We have 2 more RLH episodes about Baldur's Gate 3 left after today. We'll then record an announcement episode for Season 2, but we also wanted to give you a chance to get in your last thoughts on this amazing game.
Try to keep your thoughts brief and specific and we'll read them during the transitional episode.

Reminder that you can read along with and ahead of the show by subscribing to Marvel Unlimited (we don't get paid for you doing that, so it's not an ad, it's just a cool service). You can also use Comixology, or buy the trades from your local comic book shop (the preferred method, if we're being honest). Be sure to check with your local library to see if they have them there!

What do video games and religion have in common? The points don't matter! INDIKA is a walking-sim adjacent indie adventure game that is largely a vehicle for philosophical debates. You might think that sounds a little pretentious, but the writing is actually stellar and we encourage everyone to check this out.

A dark and edgy Pac-Man reboot, a kind of normal D&D story, and also a dark and edgy Mega Man reboot. All in all, I'm not sure the creators of this show actually play video games.

For our very special 600th episode, we talk about the most video game-shaped thing you could get that wasn’t a video game: the Tiger Handheld Electronics game. These heavily licensed consolation prizes were barely interactive, made heinous noises, and were ubiquitous in the early nineties. You can play many of them on the Internet Archive, but why would you?

Have you ever wonder what it would be like to be a pilot who also had to juggle? That's the kind of hard hitting question Hammerfight tries to answer.

Did you know that Howie Mandel made a series of kids games? Did you know that the music was a collaboration between artists from Pink Floyd, Yes, the Doobie Brothers, and Supertramp? If you did, that’s a very strange thing to know.

Through Nature, Time, and Space,

The voyage of the soul—not life alone,
Death, many deaths I’ll sing.

Stop me if you've heard this one before. A house that keeps going deeper, a toxic man who overpowers vulnerable women, a first act that doesn't let you know what the third will be. Barbarian.
All stories are iterations of each other, watered down.

When you're a teen, you do stupid things. You might drive recklessly, you might make some off-color jokes you won't be proud of later, or you might make a dating sim with your friends that will be on the internet forever. That's the case with Get the Girl, a DOS quiz game by a group of teens who have a very tenuous grasp on how to interact with women.
