150 - Silksong
Episode 150
Show notes
Patreon Release Date: Dec 7th 2025
Anticipation and Frustration. Two words I could use to describe my feelings about Silksong. A game that we waited for for so long that manages to stick the landing. This game is a thing of beauty. Masterfully crafted and lovingly designed. No stone was left unturned in the development process.
And then there is the difficulty. This is a game that will punish you for your failures. Is it needless cruel? Can anyone beat Lost Lace?

141- Okami
Episode 141
Show notes
Patreon Release Date: Mar 17, 2024
Every so often a video game comes along that is unusually special. A game that has the strange honor of being the lowest selling Game of the Year title ever. That game is Okami.
This game is a real beauty. Dylan refers to is as the Best Zelda ever made. A tale of re-releases, fired creators, and one tiny, horny, little man. We are joined by Luigi's Apartment for this episode as we gush about the gorgeous Okami.
