Temporada 3
Journey to the Savage Planet w/Zaclre
Zaclre from the Mooglecast in the Trophy Talk Network joins us for a journey to AR-Y26, a new planet that the Kindred Corporation has sent us to in order to assess if it is viable for colonization. Unfortunately they didn't plan a return trip for us, so it's up to the player to find a way home while exploring and cataloging everything on the planet. It's still nice though that Kindred sent us a lot of entertaining commercials for us to watch. We share stories about our favorite animals and antics while exploring, reminisce about the few times we tried to squad up together, and talk about our successes in speedrunning this hilarious game. Zac and I also both notice that we view this game through different histories and recognize different inspirations that went into it. Because of that, we each bring our own recommendations for other games like it, but agree that you should take a Journey to the Savage Planet and we hope you enjoy the trip with us.
Bee Simulator w/ Rachel Saalfeld
Rachel Saalfeld from Critically Tipsy joins the Game Club to talk about Bee Simulator, an endearing indie game that was surprisingly educational. We talk about the many ways it gamifies bee activities and tries to show life from their perspective. We also fly by a few of the buzz-worthy facts the game tries to teach. Did you know that bees can fly at speeds of up to 20 miles per hour? Or that they have five eyes on their head? After a few plat shoutouts from the Trophy Talk Discord we land on some of our favorite movies about bugs and any other games that you might like to check out if you liked Bee Simulator. Hope you enjoy hearing about this adorably bee-autiful game!
Cursed To Golf w/ MaXximumCARNAGE
Max (MaXximumCARNAGE) from The MoogleCast and the Trophy Talk Network has picked Cursed to Golf as the game to cover. Armed with a few clubs and some incredible luck, we both describe our unique journey golfing our way out of purgatory. Even though neither of us tend to jump into rogue-like games, we both talk about what made this different enough to eventually win both of us over. We introduce a new platinum shout-out segment since we are now part of the Trophy Talk Network. Then Max talks about how he happened upon some of the greatest beginner’s luck that will make even the best of us jealous. I share my own frustrating story about the game driving me to almost give up on it. Just like with any other rogue-like, we both learned that failure is a learning experience and to not give up, because there is always a fresh start with new possibilities in Cursed to Golf.
Temporada 2
The Gardens Between w/ Jordan Vickers
Jordan and I take a walk through The Gardens Between and discuss how this beautiful art piece is and isn't really a puzzle game. We cover all of our favorite set pieces that Arina and Frendt walk around and what makes some of the puzzle mechanics so intriguing. Then Jordan gives me a big update on all of the games we've played that have DLC and which are the ones you should return to.
The Plucky Squire w/ Robert Fitton, Markus "Moondox," and Kade "TheGreenGorillaGamer"
With the recent release of The Plucky Squire, Robert, Markus, and Kade all have a lot to say about this adorable and very ambitious game. In this episode we gush over the imaginative style of the game, but then have some serious issues with who this game may actually be intended for. As we realize what some of the elements of this game actually are, we wonder what would have happened if the villain had looked elseware for the tools to take over the world. We also discover that one of the levels may have been a little triggering for one of us. Enjoy listening to us hang out for a while as we flip through The Plucky Squire!
