Weeks later, we finally finish up our mini-series of episodes on Telltale’s Tales from the Borderlands. This podcast episode did not go the way I thought it would. See, Nick had steadily become more and more hyped on the game with each passing episode. So, I figured episode 5 would …
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!”
This week we continue our drive through Telltale’s episodic adventure game, Tales from the Borderlands, with episode 3 “Catch a Ride.” Sorry about last week, there was a slight snafu hitting the Monday release date. Then then episode was supposed to go up mid-week last week, but that didn’t happen …
We continue our episodic discussions of Telltale’s Tales from the Borderlands with episode 2. There has been a big change in how we handle episodic games in our podcast between this series and the last time we tackled a Telltale game. Before they’re were a form of audio playthrough. We …

I don’t remember where I heard, saw or read this, but I remember an interview with John Cleese, the estimable comedian behind Monty Python, Fawlty Towers and A Fish Called Wanda, that he had to learn how to do comedy differently for each of those works. When he moved on …
This is just housekeeping for the reviews I wrote last year for PopMatters, but didn’t catalog on my site. Tales from the Borderlands episode 2: Atlas Mugged Dreamfall Chapters Book Two: Rebels Game of Thrones episode 3: The Sword in the Darkness Life is Strange episode 2: Out of Time …
A new year, a new slate of games to review. A bit of a theme going on here. 2015 starts off with 4 new episodic games and my attempts to review every single episode of each one. All of Telltale games, so far, are licensed games. It’s difficult not to …
