Episode 20: Deja Vu, Uninvited, and Shadowgate

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross die repeatedly in their attempt to talk about the MacVenture games (Deja Vu, Uninvited, and Shadowgate).

Hi! Can I ask you a question? Do you like pointing? Do you like clicking? Then you’ll sure love these three games. Before LucasArts, there was the MacVenture series… a group of games that pioneered the graphical point-and-click adventure genre as we know it. This episode is a rapid-fire revue of three of the four games in the series: Deja Vu, Uninvited, and most famously, Shadowgate.

Episode 19: E.V.O.: The Search for Eden

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross, despite their lack of fitness, survive long enough to discuss E.V.O.: The Search for Eden.

You have 4.6 billion years to turn from a fish into a human so that you can have sex with the planet Earth. And that’s just the beginning of how weird E.V.O. is, which is probably why so many people hold the game so dear. Has it aged well, or should it be sent back into the primordial ooze?

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.
