Describing The Skybox
WELCOME TO DESCRIBING THE SKYBOX! We are a fortnightly, book club-styled podcast in which we attempt to go in-depth on an individual video game and figure out what makes it unique. Episodes are around an hour to an hour and a half long and primarily feature free form discussion on themes and mechanics present in each episode’s titular game. Bear in mind that we are not reviewers, so as far as we critique the games at hand, our intent is not to convince you to play any particular work. SPOILER WARNING: Given the depth at which we intend to cover the games in question, those which feature a stor...

NOCLIP Pocket E11 - Big Yeets - Accounting+ 24.04.2019 34:30
What are you doing in my podcast? This is my podcast! Welcome back to NOCLIP Pocket, and on this episode we’re going to be talking about Accounting+. This game is a VR experiment that is full of absolutely off the wall scenarios and an abrasive sense of humor that really takes advantage of the medium to make things extra uncomfortable for the player. A kind of escape room game, it ushers you betwe...
Episode 78 - Bad For My Tum Tum - Déraciné 20.04.2019 1:29:05
Faeries are wondrous creatures who podcast in the place where time stands still, Welcome back from the viiiiirtual woooooorld, where today, in this humdrum realm we call reality, we’re going to be talking about Déraciné.

NCP Deltarune Episode 1 - Rudy's Got the Chalk 03.04.2019 44:45
This podcast is fueled by EVIL! ...and friendship! Welcome back to the podcast, where after announcing the series seemingly one million years ago, we’re finally tackling the first release of Deltarune, the episodic followup to Undertale. Set in a world with familiar characters and musical motifs, Deltarune does a lot to change, and dare I say, improve the design set forth in its predecessor. With...
Episode 77 - Miyamono's Bono - Katamari Damacy 30.03.2019 1:07:20
Huh, it's pretty big. We imagine it'll make a pretty podcast. If it were Ours, We'd make it much bigger. Welcome back to the podcast! We’re finagling the release schedule a little to meet some time sensitive goals (hopefully you’ll be equally shocked and gleeful at the results), but that doesn’t mean we ROLLED out this episode without putting our usual SPIN on it. Eh? What I mean to say is that th...
Episode 76 - A Honker of Steak - Kingdom Hearts 3 16.03.2019 2:27:40
To strike down Xehanort, we need the podcast Mickey spoke of in his letter! Welcome back to the podcast!

After delays and issues in making it, it finally released to droves of ravenous fans. I’m talking, of course, about this episode of the NOCLIP Podcast on Kingdom Hearts 3. Kingd...
NOCLIP Pocket E10 - Find the Game By You - Hidden My Game By Mom 14.03.2019 31:48

I suppose a boy like you has much to learn about podcasting, Welcome back to NOCLIP! Today we’re going tackle one of our oldest requests and talk about The Minish Cap. The Minish Cap is an odd Zelda game that was developed by Capcom for the Game Boy Advanced, but despite this, stays true to the elements of 2D Zelda games that make them work as well as they do. Whether this is a good or bad thing i...
NCP Deltarune Episode 0 - Twee Wave 04.02.2019 38:48

The NOCLIP Awards 2018 - Non-Philosophical Content For Gamers 19.01.2019 1:41:59

Join us at the NOCLIP Awards, where we consider every game we recorded an episode on this year for myriad categories that range from legitimate judgments of quality to asinine judgments of minor features. While other awards shows hit you with nomi...

Episode 72 - Smash Walter - What Remains of Edith Finch 18.11.2018 1:54:04

Today we’re going to be talking about What Remains of Edith Finch, a walking simulator that uses short vignettes to constantly impose differences in kind to tell its narrative. The game follows storytelling conventions typical of other walking sims, but uses differ...
NOCLIP Pocket E06 - I Should Haunt Those ROMs - Pokémon Black 31.10.2018 41:04

NOCLIP Pocket E05 - Stocking-Headed Buffoons - Night Trap 17.10.2018 38:16

NOCLIP Pocket E03 - Congratulations JNCO Jeans Owners - Monument Valley 22.09.2018 31:21
Sacred geometry was our pride, our downfall, but forever will our podcasts stand in this valley. Welcome back to another episode of NOCLIP Pocket, where today we’re going to be discussing mobile gaming darling Monument Valley. The impossible objects and puzzling landscapes of M.C. Escher do seem to lend themselves to, well, a puzzle game, but the necessary visual complication can sometimes detract...
Episode 69 - Space Police - No Man's Sky 15.09.2018 1:07:19
A strange podcast dribbles down from the point and onto my visor. The entity waits for the order to plunge it deep into my brain. Welcome to another episode of NOCLIP! This week we’re going to look at Hello Games’ vast universe generating game No Man’s Sky.

I picked up the podcast, it's weight felt comforting in my pocket, Welcome back to another episode of our Pocket series where we're going to be talking about the game that is impossibly difficult to Google, Home.
