Episode 18: Planescape: Torment (Part 2)

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross will the second part of their Planescape: Torment episode into existence.

And so it ends. We left off with a clue to find an old hag, but all we found was ourselves. Torment wraps up in a satisfying and mind-bending way, and there’s plenty to talk about as we dust up the final details of this narrative.

Episode 17: Planescape: Torment (Part 1)

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross convince iTunes to give birth to a podcast about the first half of Planescape: Torment.

What can change the nature of a man? Well, being endlessly reincarnated and searching for the true nature of your own identity. Torment isn’t so much an RPG as it is a visual novel, and one of the most compelling pieces of fiction to ever be pressed onto a disc. This first-half analysis dodges any end-game spoilers, so feel free to play along!

Episode 16: Klonoa: Door to Phantomile

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross get saccharine about Klonoa: Door to Phantomile.

Klonoa nyaahs like a cat and is anime as hell. He’s also fated to save the world of dreams from Ghadius, who wants to unleash nightmares into the world. Is this cult classic overrated? Underrated? Listen and find out.

Episode 14: Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross grind Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee to a pulp.

Oddworld: Abe’s Oddysee is a puzzle platformer that was revered in its time for its beautiful graphics, excellent sound, and abundant character. Unfortunately, its trial-and-error nature hasn’t aged well. This is possibly the most negative we’ve ever gotten about a game.

Episode 13: Duck Tales

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross capitalize on the nostalgic popularity of Duck Tales.

Duck Tales is regarded as one of the best NES games, and for good reason. Scrooge’s journey from the Himalayas to Transylvania to the Moon and back to Transylvania a few more times is one of the most novel and fun platformers around. Plus, that Moon music.
