In which the we bestow upon your ears our last will and testament. Chris leaves his thoughts on Diablo 3’s Loot 2.0 patch, Graham passes on his love of Towerfall: Ascension, Marsh leaves a treasure map to his feelings on Intruder, and Tom F decrees that you spend a night in the house haunted by living dolls, HOMEunculus.
Also discussed: Batman: Arkham Knight’s announcement trailer, the spy and space sims Tom F and Chris want someone to make, the wonder of Half-Life 1 modding, and what this six-inch whip has to do with playing Pong.
- The Batman: Arkham Knight trailer stars a slow Batman.
- Towerfall: Ascension! It’s not out. Sorry, I was thinking of the embargo date. It’s out March 11th.
- Diablo 3 Loot 2.0 patch has been out for a while now. Chris had thoughts. PC Gamer had thoughts.
- The creepy, voodoo doll-controlled HOMEunculus. Made in some kind of institution?
- Briefly mentioned: Michael Cook’s Angelina, the AI which makes videogames.
- We’ve now played Intruder by Superboss Games together. We have diverging opinions.
- Military Gamers is a wonderful thing.
- Surgeon Simulator is a silly game. Surgery Simulator is just a terrible one.
- Spycatcher should be inspiration for a videogame. Jack Ryan: world saving middle manager. The Force, Channel 4’s documentary about the machinations of the police force. Not available to stream because Marsh hates you.
- Ars Technica on the plan to rescue the space shuttle Columbia.
- The Opera, a John Woo-inspired Half-Life mod with a stylish scoring system. The Half-Life 2 version sadly never made it to release. Also Frontline Force, the fastest route to becoming a shitty wizard.
- PainStation, a Pong game with a six-inch whip.
As always, we are played in by The Mandibles, plucked from their track Clambake. Many of the band members now tour as Count Bobo And The Bullion.
