TL;DW - Mat Reviews Kirby games from NES to Switch

March 29, 2022 18:16 - 6 minutes - 15.4 MB

I tried the Switch Kirby demo and was shocked by how it felt like a 3DS game. Had some fun but felt like either the demo or the game wasn't very polished and ultimately thought I didn't need to bother with the franchise.  Luckily, Horky and Solace encouraged me to try the older kirby games on NES and SNES, and boy am I glad I did!    They were instantly a lot of fun with their tight mechanics, challenge and boundless creativity. They also had the weird mix of being released late on systems (...

TooLongDidn’tWatch - Ghostwire Tokyo #2 - tedium overtaking

March 25, 2022 18:53 - 14 minutes - 33.7 MB

Hi, second day of Too Long Didn't Watch, review in progress of ghostwire tokyo.     I come back to earth from yesterdays acceptance of the pleasant game loop.  There isn't enough here to justify the full price at this point. Perhaps the end will really wow me, and there was one very well done setpiece, but it could use way more of those.

March 24, 2022 22:33 - 9 minutes - 22.7 MB

Hi, long time no content here.   I have a new series for the podcast called 'Too Long Didn't Watch (TLDW).    After every stream with a game I will summarize my thoughts on that game with a quick review in progress episode. It'll be uploaded here and to the youtube channel with footage from the game.   Today is after two long sessions with Ghostwire: Tokyo.  I was inspired to do it since I had such a different reaction to the game the second session. I went from being very unimpressed to loc...

Should Reviewers Beat Games? - Mat and Horky

May 14, 2021 04:28 - 57 minutes - 131 MB

Horky always makes me laugh and think, so it was great to talk to him about this.    Topic originally tweeted by "Gamingbibles" head of content saying "You don't need to finish a game to review it, to publish an opinion and score (most of the time, we don't get the time)."      Colin Moriarty's response brought it to my attention as a fun thing to  chat about.    I'm not a reviewer but I enjoy talking about games. What do you expect from reviews?

March 17, 2021 23:52 - 9 minutes - 12.7 MB

Little Nightmares was really good!  The story goes to some wild and abstract places so there was plenty to discuss at the end. Looking forward to the sequel when I've had a bit of time away from this.   Hope you enjoy!

Let's Rank every ZELDA

March 17, 2021 23:50 - 35 minutes - 49.2 MB

I love ranking franchises. This format has been super fun to incorporate everyone's different thoughts. The zelda series was more divisive than I thought.  I originally thought of each Zelda game as more or less than the same formula. While the main gameplay is similar, each title generally has a unique gimmick that can breathe life into the game or become tedious.     I quite enjoyed blasting through a few hours of games I'd never touched before like spirit tracks, Oracle of Seasons, and I ...

Balan demo, Steam Fest Demo Recco. Micro Flight Sim, Retromania, Displaying games on a shelf

thanks for listening.  Hope you are well in the times we'll tell our grandkids or other people's grandkids about. Will they find it interesting? Maybe.  I would find a house lockdwn and curfew quite interesting.  When older people would tell me a candy bar was a nickel i always asked how much did you make per hour, and they usually cant remember. Maybe they'd have more money if they cared more about work than candy bars.
