It's featherier than the av-er-age bear!

An unloved sequel to a beloved game makes for some rough play, as the FF4 formula wears out its welcome. While Takashi Tokita was working to update Final Fantasy IV for the Nintendo DS, he felt a longing to return to the Blue Planet and revisit the story of Cecil and the gang. What resulted was a strange plan: to release a sequel to an almost 20 year old game in episodic installments on Japanese m...

After the Bill Berry left the band, R.E.M. had to make the biggest adjustment of their 18 year career. Previous reinventions happened on their own time, and at their own discretion. The shifts into clearer lyrics, into softer instrumentation, and into cocky rock were nothing compared to losing 1/4 of their band. The album that resulted from this labor, Up, nearly broke them up. But it shifted thei...

Maybe FMV games are actually good and fun? That's what we've concluded after we played Sewer Shark, with Night Trap and Contradiction in mind. Though this is the most "game-like" of the FMV games we've played, the play is no great shakes. However, the low stakes, low production value approach to video like this lends to a kind of acting and presentation that is unique to games of this vintage and...

Come and pitch a tentacle.

This adaptation came out of nowhere, but apparently it's been coming for a long time. Back in 2007, Konami reached out to Warren Ellis to write a movie script for them, adapting Castlevania to the screen. Ten years later, that movie became a Netflix series. And people seem to love it. If only it was that easy. Because what we have here is a continuation of Summer Throwdown season, where our opinio...

Welcome to the Monstrous Manual's original sin.

Gary Butterfield, Kole Ross, and John Hurst take one final look at Dark Souls. Please stick around for the next episode, which will be the proper conclusion to Bonfireside Chat as a whole.

This week Gary and Jeremy wrap up Season 03 in style. First up is Nightcrawler , which you may think is just about Nightcrawler, but is actually about the X-Men's Wacky Winter Wonderland Wacation. It's BONKERS. Then it's on to Weapon X, Lies, and Video Tapes , the episode name we were shocked to find is 100% accurate. Next episode we'll be covering X-Men 3: United We Something or Other, so be sure...

All good things must come to an end, and seep out into a culvert or sluice.

Kole, Ben, and Dennis talk about Tacoma, the Horizon: Zero Dawn expansion announcement, and we ask you which games have the best sound design. The Brief: Horizon: Zero Dawn expansion revealed.

This train doesn't stop. Autumn and Paddy join the show to discuss the thrilling, anxiety-inducing conclusion to the Waste Lands. With Lud rapidly decaying behind them and nothing but cracked land and horrible monsters below, our Ka-Tet are left to deal with an insane AI embodied in the train they're riding. Their guns will be useless, and they will quite literally have to rely on their wits.

Incredibly cute. Incredibly not for us.

Don't let these gooey boys slip through your fingers!
