In this week's episode, fantasy dungeon-crawling game Exanima with its "realistic" combat takes centre stage in the video games section, followed by a return to video/board game Armello and an update on Chris and Euan's journey through the Shenmue series. In the tabletop section, Chris and Pawel have an in-depth chat about the new Arkham Horror Card Game by Fantasy Flight, Chris quickly talks about another play of Star Wars: Rebellion, and Pawel tells us about Swedish tabletop RPG Symbaroum! Enjoy!
025- HELP!
Scythe is the game on everyone's lips at the moment, and Chris and Euan give you a lipful (or something) about it to kick off this episode! Also in the tabletop section is Fantasy Flight's Lovecraftian co-op game Elder Sign, and a quick update on the ongoing Star Wars: Imperial Assault campaign. In video games, Euan talks about Help: The Game, a collection of games made by various good-hearted developers for the charity War Child, and then the guys chat about the hilarious-but-chaotic couch co-op game Overcooked! No Pawel in this episode, he's had his teeth removed, presumably by a medical professional.
024- PHASESHIFTED
Back to full strength as Pawel returns from wandering around in the countryside with his laptop! We begin with some video games chat, starting with Mirror's Edge Catalyst before moving on to new rogue-like game Lost Sea and the real-time strategy game Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak (with excellent pronunciation). We also have a brief chat about Rocket League, in particular playing it while drunk and the ranking system. The tabletop section sees us return to playing Fantasy Flight's board game Star Wars Imperial Assault, and then Pawel enlightens us about his perceived flaws in the 5th edition of the Shadowrun role-playing game. Enjoy!
021- I.T SIMULATOR 2016: GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER, NERDS
Star Wars: Rebellion takes centre stage in our board gaming section as Chris and Pawel gush about its excellence, and Euan talks us through Food Chain Magnate and its cynical in-game methods of advertising burgers and lemonade. Pawel begins the video game chat by having a rant about the business model of the Total War series then enables its creators by getting sucked into the latest version of it, Total War: Warhammer. Meanwhile Euan tells us about the fun 2D sci-fi shooter game Galak-Z, and Chris talks about his return to the world of Oros to finish Far Cry Primal. Also includes irrelevant chat about nerd currency, Pawel's need for escapism, and punching chickens. Enjoy!
011 - SNIPER GOAT
Featuring discussion of strange monsters in King of New York and Thea: The Awakening and a large portion of the podcast is inevitably given over to Star Wars with the release of the board game Imperal Assault and Battlefront(field) on consoles. Meanwhile Euan continues his retread of old PC games with Grim Fandango: Remastered.
