So many incredible games being released this holiday season, so little time. At the top of today’s episode the team discusses November’s biggest releases, with Alex having thus far resisted the temptation to blow off her responsibilities and buy Fallout 4.
This week’s news segment covers lots of Nintendo tidbits, including the controversial new “Linkle” character coming to Hyrule Warriors. Also on the docket is the Warcraft movie trailer (and subsequent WoW discussion), as well as a recent indie game marketing campaign that was Fueled By Autism™.
In the The Worst Thing That Happened To Us This Week the team discusses the absence of splitscreen multiplayer in Halo 5, focussing on the disturbing (but expected) overreaction of the denizens of /r/gaming. This segment has it all, including another sad piano monologue and Alex calling Ben “The Jesus of this podcast”.
The episode wraps up with What You Been Playin’ Bro, featuring Grim Fandango and a quick rundown of the best portable Castlevania games.
