Episode 02 – It's Totally Okay to Just Murder Them – Shadow of the Colossus

One day, perhaps we will make atonement for this podcast,

On this episode we’re going to be talking about Shadow of the Colossus, the 2005 spiritual successor to Ico. Featuring a grim, isolated atmosphere, and hybridized action adventure/platformer gameplay, it had very few contemporaries and feels incredibly unique to this day. We discuss what makes the game work for us and take a few stabs at the design and implementation of the game’s minimalist philosophy. Thanks to everyone who listens and prepare for our next episode on Resident Evil!

Episode 01 – Blueberry Casuals and the Backhand Booyah! – Splatoon

Welcome to our Cephalopodcast,

Today we’re going to be talking about the WIi U’s own third-person shooter, Splatoon. We’ll be discussing what makes this game different than other shooters, what makes it the same, the Squid-Kid Dichotomy and why the existence of this game represents such an unexpected and important line for Nintendo to have crossed. Thanks for listening, and check us out in two weeks when we release episode two on Shadow of the Colossus!
