Liv and Trevor dig into the delisted but wonderfully dark and intriguing HEATWAVE by DeadDeadDeath -- check out the rest of their work, free to download at https://deaddeaddeath.neocities.org/index.html. This is a fantastic glimpse into a wonderful visual novel that is dark, sexual, political, and intensely different. Trigger warnings abound, so if you're at all triggered by sexual violence or abuse, it may be one to skip. But othe...

On the eve of the second ending episode posting on the patreon, this solo episode drops on the main feed! A thorough examination of visual novels, the nature of 100 line as an intervention into the genre, and what I expect from finishing 100 endings bit by bit. Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices.

Liv and Trevor wade into the extremely disappointing but also kind of promising but mostly disappointing WING COMMANDER. Thrill at Matthew Lillard and Ginny Holder (of Death in Paradise fame) being asked to save an entire movie's plot! It's all here! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I welcome DCELL's RJ Spellman on the show to discuss the studio's upcoming rhythm/minigame/anime/critique extravaganza UNBEATABLE. We talk about the demo, the struggles of making a game, what we can expect from the full piece, how a project changes over time, and we go off on hundreds, if not thousands, of tangents. It's good radio folks. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Graham and I are back! And we are talking about some Homicide episodes that are kind of committed to weird 90s things, specifically poetic interludes with Edgar Allan Poe and "straight guys having to find out what gay people do and they're soooo uncomfortable!" Let's say its a mixed bag. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Liv and Trev link up to talk about the engaging and encompassing Blue Prince! What does today's MYST have to say? And is it as much Myst as it is the sort of strange cockeyed adventure game that still sticks with you til today? Find out! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We welcome Charles Star of ALAB and City Saint Country Saint fame to discuss the most recent lashing of Apple in court, in their continuing battle against Epic Games. This one is exciting because someone who knows more than me tells me how the law works and I keep responding with "daaamn, really?" and he then blows my mind further. A must listen.

Liv and Trev talk about the very weirdly designed and produced 1990s film Double Dragon! Is it DOOM? Is it Super Mario Bros? Neither, but both? It has short haired Alyssa Milano though so let's see how far that gets us!! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Liv and I dig into one of our favorite kinds of episodes -- GGNoReRead! This week, we cover the classic Bungie game Halo 2 along with the wonderful James by Percival Everett!
