Description

Mark and Walker engage in rampant hearsay, or at least that's what someone told me. They perform a dissection of Alien Artifacts, only to discover that it was a shoddy rubber suit all along. They then discuss their thoughts on Kickstarter's influence on the hobby--is it making games cute but stupid?Also, a friendly reminder that Star Control II is the greatest video game ever made.Games Played Last Week:-Secret Hitler (Mike Boxleiter, Tommy Maranges & Max Temkin, Self-published, 2016)-Sheriff of Nottingham (Sérgio Halaban & André Zatz, Arcane Wonders, 2014)-Keyflower (Sebastien Bleasdale & Richard Breese, R&D Games, 2012)-Neuroshima Hex (Michał Oracz, Portal, 2006)-Empires of the Void II (Ryan Laukat, Red Raven, 2018)-Unlock!

A podcast about all manner of hobby games by Mike Walker and Mark Bigney. Bad games don't go easy on you, so we don't go easy on them. Thorough analysis via reviews, news, and discussion of topics in gaming. We take context seriously, we value your time, and we're not into hype. Just because games are fun doesn't mean we can't take them seriously, and just because we take them seriously doesn't mean we can't have fun.
