Time Played: 3hr

What if I told you there was a beautifully scenic island filled with fetch quests, bears with American accents, and wifi that keeps dropping out midway through a podcast so editing it is a nightmare? Welcome to Eastshade, try not to scream when you have repeat yourself for the 4th time because Lochie couldn't hear you.

Skip to 12:28 if you want to hear us talk about Genshin Impact and NOT about The Hootenanny, Britain's Got Talent and Louis' disinterest in football.

This week Lochie tells you about his gross fingers and Louis has a dehumidifier. ALSO. We played the indie classic Rain World and try to unpick the value of its difficulty.

I don't remember what we talked about this week other than the titular game ofc. So instead, my day schedule. I've only got two short meetings today. One is a catch-up with my line manager, the other is a briefing for the main job i need to do today. It's likely that the things in need to get started on the work will be delayed so i will use that time to get in touch with o2 as the company phone contract is closing and i need to work out a new deal. We also have a new hire today so i need to make sure she is all settled in. Lou is leaving ( very sad about this) and her line manager asked me what we should do to celebrate her, i have no idea, so i'm going to ask someone else. I'll also walk the dog several times for pees and poos and a bit of play. This evening i might do some freelance 3d modelling, currently texturing a large window. Oh, in the pod we do talk about Archer Maclean again. how could i forget.

This week is the WORLD PREMIERE of Mikes electric piano (thanks again, Mike), as well as a bunch of video game trailers we don't care for.

Gosh, I honestly have no idea what we talked about. I think a lot of it was actually about Supergiants indie hit Hades. I remember we it got us talking about the Disney movie Hercules. And at the start I grovel for money, but aside from that you'll just have to listen and see.

What better way to celebrate World Milk Day than playing three hours of Capcom's cult classic Ghost Trick.

This week two sleepy boys try desperately to keep their eyes open as they are sent back in time to save sexy ladies with The Hunchback of Notre Dame, making sure at all times to properly adhere to the physical rules of whisky barrels.

You might say, This week Lochie and I went through a M E T A M O R P H O S I S of our own. We fill you in with all the juicy deets of our recent life changes, which includes but is not limited to Lochie buying a very bright bulb. We eventually move on to the titular game, but not before gently roasting my old flat mat.

This week, Lochie says the phrase 'i don't trust all my fingers equally' and honestly I can't stop thinking about that. We talk about Friday Night Funkin', a pay-what-you-want indie rhythm game on Newgrounds (wait, Newgrounds???)and then recap our final thoughts on the bonkers end to our twitch play through of Dead Rising.

Take ten minuets of your day to hear the sound of hard wheels on warm cement as Louis explores the incredible sound design work and the mechanics it supports in the genre shaking classic, Skate.

This week tension is high as Lochie and Louis can't think of anything to say, that is until Lochie reveals he's just eaten Mac n' Cheese and then everything goes back to a relative state of normal.

This week we finally got around to the playing the game that we literally invented 15 years ago. We literally made this game with our minds. 11 boys are the real game designers.

This week Lochie reveals his secret talent and Louis holds the switch very close to his face.

This week we get lost in a museum of forgotten video. Literally, we have no idea what floor any of these games where on. Also we are both surprised to discover that I know what a Musher is.

This week Lochie gets a little car sick as Louis professes his love the Star Wars Intellectual Property.

This week we're scooching past people from all over Europe on a tight train carriage, well except Lochie because he ate to much spaghetti...

CreamPuff will inherit the earth.

Imagine Shawshank Redemption but instead of Morgan Freeman and Tim Robbins you get the worlds biggest goofball and a very dull man, playing darts and and washing up together. Also Uncharted.

This week Louis clearly wants nothing more than to talk about Diablo 3 and has no interest in instant coffee or animal cloning.
