Pandemic Studios really knew what they were doing, and it’s a real shame their style of destruction-based open world games didn’t become the norm. That’s how you’ll feel when you play the Saboteur, the studio’s swan song. You are Sean Devlin, an Irish racecar driver who joins the French Resistance during World War II to get revenge on the Nazis. You may only be aware of this game because of its bl...

Hey folks! This will be a longer post detailing some changes that are coming up for Duckfeed in the next few months. When we ask listeners what they like about the network, they'll often bring up our transparency. It's one of our main values, so that's why we will be providing the rationale for each announcement so you know why we're making the changes. There will be a TL;DR at the end for those w...

Sorry this one is shorter than usual; blame Gary's nipple.

Some intellectual properties are like PFAS. Once introduced to the environment, they will never go away, just sitting and warping whatever they touch. The Hannah-Barbera archives are a superfund site of these, and no property has stuck around like Scooby-Doo. Night of 100 Frights has the distinction of being a very faithfully created 3D version of something that wasn’t great in the first place, at...

The Ripper strikes again! This time, it’s an unlucky someone down at the National Transportation Safety Board warehouse with a chest cavity full of soup. The problem is, there are no witnesses. At least, there are no corporeal witnesses. Also discussed: Shadows of North America: The Great Ghost Dance Under the Hood: Hiring Runners Grimoire: Spirits Thank you to Darrin Michelson for our art this se...

Someone call Powerman 5000 because we’ve found out what it’s like when worlds collide. Following a cartoonish affair last episode, Jimmy’s plot and the cartel plot run straight into each other as Lalo reaches out to Jimmy to help clean up the mess with Krazy-8’s arrest.

We’re running out of Fallout games to cover! Which means we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel to bring you a close look at the memory-holed PS2 and XBox entry into the series: Brotherhood of Steel. It’s a Dark Alliance-like that demonstrates that one of those can actually be a lot worse than the others, and it’s all made worse by how poorly it handles the Fallout setting. Highlighted project: E...

Searched the name, no obit.

They made a fun Pong game for the PlayStation. ANYWAY, did you know that we both got Covid-19 in Las Vegas? Let’s rank the symptoms!

What harm could deep deep discounts cause? There’s no way they could set off a chain reaction that leads directly or indirectly to the creation of a Heisenberg, right?

Uh oh! Both Gary and Kaye have COVID! So please forgive our voices and our absolute flightiness as we answer your questions, read your responses to Ogre Battle 64 and Dispatch, and talk about what makes an inventory system good or bad.

Everything To Jean Anouilh.

DJ Boy is a beat-em-up on roller skates. Roller blades? No, skates. The most hip-hop conveyance imaginable. That’s because this is a game steeped in a very removed Japanese understanding of US hip hop culture, which comes with some extremely uncomfortable racial depictions. Also, it’s time to hear about Kaye’s dental woes instead of Gary’s!

Pike’s Place is a famous tourist trap in real life, but in Shadowrun… it’s also a tourist trap. But there are also active murder scene investigations, VR drug dens, and some leads on the people who might know what happened to our friend Sam. Also Discussed: The Neo Anarchist’s Guide: Simlink technology and BTLs. Paranormal Animals of North America: Hellhounds Under the Hood: Cover Thank you to Dar...

Season five begins with the (legal) creation of Saul Goodman, an alter ego Jimmy creates for his new law practice that lets him finally step out of his brother’s shadow. But Kim isn’t very happy with this, or Jimmy’s more brazen scheming. Meanwhile, Gus and Mike deal with the aftermath of Werner Ziegler’s escape, and Lalo’s new suspicion about their plans.

I like candy.

Balan Wonderworld is so infamous that sometimes you wonder if it could actually ever be that bad. Chat, it’s very bad. It ranks right behind chronically mistreating his workers on the list of worst things Yuji Naka has ever done. It’s so bad that we remain on topic for the whole episode.

Hey everyone! It’s Jake Armitage! From the cult hit Super Nintendo game Shadowrun. And he’s taking us to the Redmond Barrens. We must be real shadowrunners now. Also Discussed: The Neo Anarchist’s Guide: The Halloweeners ShadowTalk: Jake Armitage and fanservice

In this episode we say auf wiedersehen to season 4 by talking about the scant special features and deleted scenes on the DVDs, and we read your responses.

This week we continue our discussion of Ogre Battle 64, a sprawling and mysterious strategy game that eventually sheds the need for using strategy all together. It’s also a story of revolution that stops being about a revolution partway through. This leaves us in the frustrating position of wanting to like it more than we actually do. Thanks again Will for executive producing this! Our highlighted...

I just want to acknowledge that Gary says "Cuck Finn" at one point during this episode and I talked over it and it was very funny.

Portal didn’t invent the story about the banal cruelty of corporate super science, but it sure did it better than Whiplash. You play a weasel who has a rabbit chained to you, hopping and bopping to try to escape from a laboratory. And while it promises sweet grappling hook action, all it delivers is disappointment. We also talk about Gary’s evolving battle with, and respect for, the Tree of Heaven...
