Rental Circulation

Welcome to Rental Circulation, a video game first impressions-cast, where the gang gets together to play games we haven't played, usually at the behest of someone else. Excitement ensues.

Alola, everyone! It's us, we're back, talking about Pokémon. Igni isn't here. We miss him.

Please give Benfrosh's Dratini a good home.

Today's Game: Undertale

Haca, Bitmap, Igni, and Fang get together not to play games for one hour and talk about them for two, but to, er. Play... one game. For however many hours it takes. And talk about that for an hour. 

Whatever, this is a new show. We hope you like it. It's about that one game everyone likes. You know, Homestuck.

Igni died. Benfrosh drowned. With four members left, it's up to Haca, Bitmap, Proto, and Fang to keep the show moving in an episode about motion games. Except the games, in a shocking twist, lack motion controls...!? We talk about our Sonic OCs longer than is probably healthy.

We started from Jesus approval, now we're here, kowtowing to alternative deities. The RenCirc crew gathers to talk about games where you PLAY a god, but not have the game be a 'god game'. What does that mean? We talk about that. But mostly, we make jokes about E3. Yarn Dad and Mom for life.

Intro Music: Love Everlasting - DDRKirby(ISQ), ocr...

RenCirc is back, and less professional than ever! Haca, Proto, Igni, and Fang meet the long-lost Bitmap as the crew sits down and talks about the oft-maligned "walking simulator." What's a walking simulator? Are walking simulators games? Is it okay to make irrational design decisions in the name of Artisti...

Rental Circulation is back from the dead in a spine-tingling spook spectacular. Keely and Minovsky join us on yet another Bitmap-less voyage through the world of freeware horror.

On this episode of Rental Circulation, we play games that some argue should've been left in the '90s. We share our beauty and baking tips, while we all reminisce on how terrible we are at this genre of video games and the sorry state of modern visual culture. Haca struggles to pronounce the word 'record' differently as a noun and a verb. Igni and Bi...
