Come hang with the crew as they talk about their ongoing love affair with Hunt: Showdown, the PvPvE title developed by Crytek, and we deep dive all the things announced at Gamescom. Caleb has also played and finished South of the Circle, a beautiful narrative adventure with a wobbly ending. We also take a deep dive on the importance of setting time aside to pursue passions, and whether or not framing that process as sacrifice is the right approach.
Episode 041: Stuff n' Things
Come hang out with the team as they discuss why this year feels a little light. Could this fall be the result of the lockdowns in 2020? The last few years have been marred by fractured releases and inconsistent support as teams restructure. But it feels like nothing got started in 2020, perhaps even things in early dev stages got delayed. We also chat for a bit about how there aren’t more Star Wars or Marvel games. Like…why?
