Watch Out for Fireballs 525: Ogre Battle 64 (Part 2)
3d ago01:44:18Tap to summarizeThis 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 project for this week is the creator Mech Amalia, who reviews Gunpla and plays games on her YouTube channel and Instagram.

Abject Suffering 674: Whiplash
6d ago00:34:41Tap to summarizePortal 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.

Best Quality Vacuum 111: Winner
1w ago00:57:46Tap to summarizeWhether or not Jimmy actually misses Chuck, or feels bad about what happened between them, is all up for debate. What’s not up for debate is that Jimmy has to put on a big sad smile and stage the biggest display of grief ever. And speaking of grief: we lose Werner Ziegler too soon.

Watch Out For Fireballs 524: Ogre Battles 64 (Part 1)
1w ago02:16:23Tap to summarizeOgre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber was a big game that many, including us, missed out on. It’s a followup to a cult classic RTS for the SNES, and it follows Magnus Gallant, a young noble who ends up leading a revolution against his own kingdom. This is a strange game mostly known for its obscure mechanics, but it’s very much in the vein of Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre in its story and presentation.This episode covers the game’s generalities, the prologue, and the first chapter.Big thanks to Will for executive producing this episode!

[PREVIEW] Unfilmable 97: Ghostwatch
2w ago00:05:00Tap to summarizeOn Halloween of 1992, the BBC aired a new broadcast that sent the nation into a panic: real life video evidence of a brutal poltergeist at work. At least, that’s what some people thought, especially children. Ghostwatch was fictional, and they said so, but it was so well-done that it remained controversial. This episode has us diving into a cultural phenomenon that we were completely unaware of, though we’ve absolutely loved the things it’s influenced.Join us next time for an episode on The Blair Witch Project.
