Infinite Cities

We're kicking of the Summer of Sea with a spooky fishing game. Gary has been obsessed with "number go up" and Will has been taking it easy as we Dredge for spooky fish.   in this episode - feather's bad takes, feeling the call of the sea, number go up, fucked up fish, fish organized neatly, maine vibes, the horrors, eel time, spookylite, the story, squidfuckers, the summer of sea, summer games fes...

Editor's note: feather screwed up her audio file and we had to pull the Craig backup! First, big ups to Craig, he's got our back (most of the time). Second, there's a few moments where here audio cuts out for a tenth of a second - it's not too bad, but be aware that it's her and not you. I'm not sure there's a bigger divide between reality and their fictional representation than when it comes to t...

Will is out of town this week so it's up to the rest of us to explore this ridiculous and ridiculously detailed house and watch several generations of a family die in weird and unusual ways. Also crying. A lot. In this ep: Dear Esther, Tales From The Crypt, return of a classic, The Unfinished Swan, cinematography, sharks rolling down hills, generational grief, Grover House ~shoutouts zone~ Joseph...

It's a mad week with a wild mullet! We're playing the 2024 boomer shooter, Mullet MadJack and we've only got 10 seconds to live!

Finally, we get (most) of the crew together in one place long enough to face off against the evil herobrine! Through the power of friendship, trapping mobs in corners, infinte respawn, and more than a bit of of creative mode, we successfully defeated herobrine - and his horrible creation, the wither! Or something. Plot isn't the strong point here. Or gameplay, if we're being honest. Mostly, we're...

I'm tired, we're tired, and if I had to take a guess, you're probably tired too. That's why we turn to games like stardew valley: because they suck and when we're miserable it's nice to just tear into a bunch of loser guys who live with their parents and dare to think they're anywhere near the same league as you, a perfect farming god(dess). In this episode: being tired, here is your biweekly egg...

We needed a short game, and we picked something we could talk for longer than the runtime. Made by Crows, Crows, Crows, "Dr. Langeskov, The Tiger, And the Terribly Cursed Emerald" gives us at least 20 minutes of converstaion for you to languish in and enjoy, and we'll be back next week with, well, something!   in this episode: stone busts, secret passges, the emerald room, guards, lasers, the vaul...

ite: who should play this, indie devs love stealth sections like [redacted for spoilers] like [also redacted for spoilers], mythos, reality, and reform, trying and failing stay on topic, levels of reality, that's not how the ending goes, ending choices, religion, Will's worldview, Knower and the Guarden, Confirmation and the Sacrements, The Stranger, Parenting, the PRC, Vampire Survivors, Karp did...

Important Announcement! This weekend is Taco De Minecraft!

We're going to play Minecraft! We might play some other games? The day is full of potential! The only thing that is certain is you should consider donating to the South...

Sphere to square, sisters. In today's communion we will remember what it was like to play a Visual Novel/walking sim where you explore exactly how bad a cult can get. /hj In this episode: Steam Workshop asset flip, consecutive apocalypses, the Horse Room, your typical canadian/japanese school, cool glasses, garlic confit, a game made for Feather, having a cake and not eating it. ~shoutouts zone~ O...

No one's had a chance to really dive into 1000xResist yet, so Gary hijacked the podcast to teach Will/reminisce about Spyro.  in this episode: comfort food and nostalgia, baby's first collectathon, quality of life improvements, sassy spyro, inspirational photos, this ursine sucks, spyro just helps people, very tongue in cheek, oops it's metroid prime now, switch to switch 2 talk, get a wii u, too...

What the heck is left to say about "minecraft?". What are we even doing here? For god's sake, it's so big even microsoft notepad (which has a spellchecker now) knows what minecraft is, inasmuch it wants me to capitalize every instance of the word. I'm manually de-capitalizing this. Capitalization is for corpos, except the title of this episode, becuase while I don't respect trademark laws, I do re...

Turn back your internal clock to when you were ~6 years old, and your sister played impressively built imaginary adventures with you. Time to get the gang back together to do it one more time. In this ep: trampoline skipping, talking in small letters only, breaking kayfabe, sibling age gaps, big scary whale, every game needs a ragdoll button. ~shoutout zone~ Wikipedia page for The Floor Is Lava ~~...

Also in this episode: WHEELJAM, prequels, failing...

In this ep: bird in the bookstore, Computerparts Organized Neatly, setpiece birds, plant noises, stolen bird-valour, Counseling, pandas were designed to die. ~shoutout zone~ Theremin's band, Counseling Bird in Gary's bookstore ~~...

The team is crashing out this week! It's sort of a nostalgia pick, but it's a remake of an almost 30 year old game and somehow it's worse now??  in this episode: daylight savings, 3d platforming, blunderdome time, slapping the bandicoot, one hundred percent charm, this is a pro gex podcast, a lizard platformer,  in this house you commit to the bit, joe piscopo, crash is fragile, the remake deserve...

You have to admire and respect games that are willing to be themselves so strongly that they turn people off. Nine Sols is willing to give you just a little bit of a hand (amazing difficulty sliders), but if that can't get you over the hump - all of its worldbuilding and art and laser-tight combat just aren't for you. Nine Sols' purity of will is so strong, it can even parry  you .  In this episod...

Karp got rolled up in a katamari and is now a star in the sky, but the rest of us are still trapped here in the Select Plaza trying to help a dog roll up the Sun!   in this episode: you roll stuff up, getting bigger faster, under the sea, the judgement of the king, shit on purpose, pole-vaulting with the katamari, hoping you go the right direction, the worst bird of all time, rolling the sun up fo...

Strange Scaffold's I Am Your Beast made several of our GOTY lists, with good reason. This game feels like a prototype to that, trading Beast 's frenetic relentless energy for a drawn out character study. It's not a very good trade, but seeing the strange scaffolding built up in El Paso Elsewhere to later enable Beast is at the very least fascinating. At the very least, you have to respect the art...

We are all so eternally grateful that so many of you have stuck with us through the past year, despite the end of blaseball and the shift from ICB to Infinite Cities, it's thanks to listeners like y'all that we keep doing this. And yeah, sure, we'd probably still be friends and we'd probably still keep playing games if the podcast didn't exist, but it's all because of your suggestions and recommen...
