We look back on our collected experiences together, dear digital friends, as we crown our Game of the Year before an unfortunate (and hopefully brief) pause. buff.ly/2V5O27R
One of Mark's obscure arcade favorites is Change Air Blade, a bizarre little shooter/fighter hybrid. Lost Records: Bloom & Rage is our latest narrative-focused diversion. buff.ly/2V5O27R
Who is a more grounded, realistic, fleshed-out character--Wario in WarioWare Gold, or any of the humans in Detroit: Become Human? buff.ly/hVmNUci
Caitlin's love/hate relationship continues with Silent Hill, and we talk about all kinds of shameful love in Persona 5. buff.ly/hVmNUci
Another horror game, namely Clock Tower, for someone who claims not to like horror games, namely Caitlin. Then, Mark finally tries the cultural juggernaut that is The Witcher 3. buff.ly/qTJwRch
Caitlin & Mark bring it home with our final spoiler-filled discussion of Dispatch, available for Digital Best Friend patrons at our Patreon! patreon.com/ambfad
We're not really doing the fighting this week, we're mostly telling other people to do violence and/or die--both in Ogre Battle from the SNES and Dispatch. buff.ly/HEybcuB
Our next Patreon-exclusive episode discussing Dispatch is out! Caitlin and Mark discuss episodes 5 and 6. Our found family is very dysfunctional but we love each and every one of them! patreon.com/ambfad
We return to the Aliens franchise and the Nintendo DS with Infestation, where #squadgoals run smack into permadeath. Meanwhile, your power fantasies in The Outer Worlds 2 run smack into the reality of your character's incompetence. buff.ly/5YXrA9i
We published our discussion of episodes 3+4 of Dispatch last week for patrons! Do the rampant HR violations continue?! patreon.com/ambfad
Mark remains in the iron grip of tactical RPGs, and so we revisit Vandal Hearts along with critical darling Keeper. buff.ly/mU5EKvX
Dispatch is the kind of game that is basically made for Mark and Caitlin, and we've published the first in a series of Patreon-exclusive bonus episodes where we discuss the events and choices we made as we progress! Here's episodes 1 and 2! buff.ly/6ZQLuE1
With Caitlin's guidance, Mark is slowly going through the generically-titled nineties SNES titles--this time it's Trials of Mana. Absolum is also a pretty weak name. Can the games overshadow their unilluminating titles? ALL WILL BE REVEALED buff.ly/mU5EKvX
The nineties are calling in a big way! Sonic, The Big Con, and Caitlin even manages to smuggle in an Evangelion reference. Radical. buff.ly/fPIO3Yq
We get dynastic AF here, with multi-generational dynamics galore. We breed dragon killers with Dragon Valor and look to rescue our dear, grim, chthonic papa in Hades II. buff.ly/I4bVB92
It's a Game Boy-heavy episode, including the popular fan translation of Japanese-only RPG Mother 3. We follow up with the game of "improvisational chaos" I Am Your Beast. buff.ly/I4bVB92
Growing up can be hard, so we explore some coping mechanisms--Road Trip to the End of the World suggests conjuring an adorable anthropomorphic fish, whereas Deception III endorses trap-based murder. Options! buff.ly/I4bVB92
We, once again, have a shonen problem. Brave Fencer Musashi's abrasive overconfidence is in stark contrast to the cool professionalism of Aliens: Fireteam Elite. Stay frosty, people. buff.ly/RE0POrF
How six years can change an industry--from local deathmatch FPS being all the rage (Perfect Dark), to online co-op third-person cover-hugging (Gears of War: Reloaded). buff.ly/lSTOEgw
Metroidvania is a very popular formula. We see how much has it changed in the twenty years between its formalization in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and its indie apotheosis in Hollow Knight. buff.ly/lSTOEgw
