This week we talk about Quake, the immediate and possibly ill-advised attempt to make a 3D DOOM. How does it play in comparison to it's sprite-based older brother? The only way to find out is to listen in. Maybe we'll still get to rip and tear... at least a little.

I think our lovely hosts absolutely forget to mention how fluffy Tunic's little tail is.
This week we talk about Tunic, the perspective-shattering puzzle-adventure game that emulates being young and not knowing how video games work. Does Tunic stand up to the giants that taught it how to walk? At the very least, which puzzles are too clever for us to solve on our own? Tune in to find out.

Age of Umpires is a very different game and I clearly misread the title.
This week we talk about Age of Empires II, one of the greats of the RTS genre.

How doe Age of Empires stack up in a world where this slow burn design philosophy has fallen to the wayside? Tune in to find out.
