This week, we talk about Supergiant Games’ most recent offering, the fantasy fire Basketball simulator, Pyre. Nick stated before the recording of this episode that he didn’t want it to bloat into a behemoth like our What Remains of Edith Finch episode did. It’s a fair thing to ask given …
The latest minisode is up on the Critical Distance Confab. Returning for another horror themed episode is my associate from the Moving Pixels Podcast, Nick Dinicola. I haven’t played a lot of horror games recently, so I went with the one I had played, Stories Untold. It was the game …
For Halloween this year, we look at the horror text adventure anthology Stories Untold. It’s an interesting game that deserves a lot more people looking at it. Is it good? Well, it’s got a lot of good things in it. Again, we ended up looking at a game that I …
Alex Carlson, the subject of this month’s interview on thee Critical Distance Confab, and his channel PostMesmeric is a relatively new find for me. Because YouTube can only find it in itself to recommend videos I’ve already watched (multiple times) it closes off a lot of what is out there …

This week we continue Telltale’s episodic foray into the Borderlands universe with episode 4. The game keeps getting better and better. We laugh. We cheer. We cry. The heist has got it all. You can find the podcast on PopMatters, SoundCloud, iTunes and through the RSS feed. “Catch a riiiiiiide!”
Yesterday, I published the first minisode in over a year for the Critical Distance Confab, the Critical Distance podcast. Instead of just advertising the fact that minisodes are back, I’d like to take this chance to go over the whole story behind them: the behind the scenes thinking that went …
This week we finish up the swamp noir, theatrical play, adventure game Knee Deep with episodes 2 and 3. Can a game be so bad it’s good? I don’t know, but Knee Deep is definitely a game that’s so bad it’s interesting. I know the angry video game critic is …
