    Lowered Expectations 19: Brains x Booze

    We're back and worse at scheduling than ever. In this episode we have a very measured and reasonable discussion about Humble Games' 2021 bullet hell RPG Archvale! At least until an overserved cast member shows up to lower the brow a bit. In the second half we answer a fan question, chat about how important small details like cosmetics in a cutscene are to us in what we play, and discuss the merits of capitalisms with a level headedness rarely seen. Eat the rich!

  • Lowered Expectations 15: Back 4 Blood (Apparently Literally)

    Lowered Expectations 15: Back 4 Blood (Apparently Literally)

    Back 4 Blood dropped with plans to turn nostalgia into sales, but was this FPS out of Turlte Rock studios able to recapture the Left 4 Dead magic for a bunch of dudes who gave Noam Chomsky the ride of his life a decade ago? We give our verdict in the first half this month. Afterwards we take turns chatting about games past we think deserver a proper reboot, which things about gaming trigger us the most, and games we expected to love but wound up hating.
