Scotch N' Games

by Graham Barr

Glengoyne 18 / Cuphead's But Whole

The boys sip on the really quite fantastic Glengoyne 18 year, and it better be! It's got to be the most expensive scotch we've featured on the show. THEN: It's animation madness at SNG headquarters! Will and Graham get into South Park: The Fractured But Whole and dive even deeper into Cuphead. Both games are inspired by hand drawn animation, but only one is totally gorgeous! Listen to find out which one!

Wee Dram / I Am Setsuna

Will talks about his romps with 'I am Setsuna'.

Wee Dram / Black Mesa

Will and Graham are back with their second Wee Dram! A hyper-focused, concise, nerd-out on Crowbar Collective's recreation of Half Life 1; (deep breath) Black Mesa!

Nikka Coffey Grain / PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

The phenomenon that is known as PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds invades Scotch N' Games' headquarters this month. Will plays a ton and Graham joins in on the fun. We compare another Japanese whiskey, the Nikka Coffey Grain, to our past episode's choice, the Nikka Coffey Malt.

Wee Dram / Hollow Knight

Welcome to Wee Drams, our new segment that delivers laser focussed episodes directly to your ear balls. In Wee Dram 1, Will talks all things Hollow Knight, a tight, devilishly difficult and gorgeous 2D game from developer Team Cherry.

Introducing Wee Drams

A Wee Dram is a term that refers to a small glass of scotch, and that's exactly what SNG Wee Drams are, small episodes of SNG! In an effort to play more games and drink more scotch we will be producing these shorter episode to keep you inundated with all the scotch and game-y goodness you've come to expect. Don't despair! We will still be doing our longer form, classic episodes, but with these sprinkled in between! With Love, Graham and Will.

Nikka Coffey Malt / Prey

For one time only (probably), we're drinking a Japanese Whisky! Fresh back from a whirlwind tour of Japan, Will gifts us with the Nikka Coffey Malt, a deliciously sweet whisky with incredibly strong hints of vanilla. Nikka was founded by Masataka Taketsuru in the late 19th century and is now one of the most popular Japanese whisky concerns. We pair it with the equally delicious PREY, a simply great 'bioshock-like' game from the makers of Dishonored. Enjoy! We love you!

Bunnahabhain 12 / Part 2: Mass Effect Andromeda

We wrap up our two-part series on Mass Effect: Andromeda and try to decide if we're getting old, or if the game sucks. Episode 59 is a no-holds-barred close-up look at the story, gameplay, strengths, and weaknesses of the game. The Bunnahabhain 12 fuels our discourse, so pour yourself a dram and join in on the discussion!

Chivas Regal 12 / Part 1: Mass Effect Andromeda

The boys bring it all back around and dive deep on Mass Effect: Andromeda. The first of two episodes dedicated to the much anticipated continuation of the Mass Effect franchise, episode 58 contains our first impressions of the game. Pour a dram, put your feet up, and join us on our exploration of the Andromeda Galaxy. Slainte!

Ardbeg Uigeadail / XCOM 2

The boys drink the hard to pronounce, and probably even harder to drink Ardbeg Uigeadail; quite possibly the most punch you in the face scotch we've had on the show to date! We rightfully pair it with the equally tough XCOM 2.
