Headquarters has officially moved, but the Unnecessary lads have still managed to squeeze in some epic-level gaming! A shorter video game segment has Pawel talking about cyberpunk/RPG game Dex which was released on consoles earlier this year, and Chris talks about the brutal online survival game Hurtworld in which the human players are the real monsters. Then a much, much longer tabletop section has the real meat of the episode: Twilight Imperium Third Edition, the epic sci-fi board game. Borg-like people save trading space cats from annihilation, barbarian lava-people take their vengeance on arrogant, intelligent aliens, politics close down the wormholes, full-on space battles take place over ancient worlds, and the meta-game rules all. Listen in to hear about Chris, Euan and Pawel's experience with this heavy-but-amazingly-fun game!
027- YEAR TWO
Chris and Euan are back to officially kick off Year Two of the podcast! The video games section begins with the lads filling your ears with chat about Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, adventure mystery game Gone Home, and Tetris-like multiplayer puzzle game Tricky Towers. The tabletop section is mostly given over to civilisation-building strategy board game Mare Nostrum: Empires, and finishes with a fun one: Robo Rally, the chaotic board game of programming racing robots. Enjoy!
019 - VESPA VIRGINS
Chris and Euan are without a Pawel to keep them company again, so they take the opportunity to chat about Soccer City, the football board game they know he'd hate. Also on the cards is the older classic Tribune: Primus Inter Pares, a Roman-themed set collection game and one of the first board games Chris ever picked up. In the video game section there's some chat about Blizzard's addictive squad-based FPS Overwatch, and we end the show with Alienation, a PS4 game about... well, killing aliens.
010 - A VERY RELAXING EPISODE
Euan Plays Railroads! and ponders what Sid Meier is up to in his shed, Chris discusses Armello and controvertial Kickstarter project Dragon Fin Soup and Pawel finally finishes talking about RPGs, plus Commands and Colours: Ancients!
009 - WHY DID I BRING AN ALARM CLOCK?
Chris and Euan try their hands at bomb disposal in Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, Pawel finally manages to talk about some RPGs and we discuss another episode of T.I.M.E stories: The Marcy Case, among other things.
008 - A FISTFUL OF BOTTLECAPS
We discuss the first part of new episodic board game T.I.M.E Stories and Chris gets into Fallout 4. Then Euan rambles incoherently about his love of the Dragon Quest series.
