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!

There’s some interesting stuff and Liv and Trev grapple with the significance of first person cinema and “the evil gene”.

No Wallscroll returns! Emily is back to talk with Trevor about another Coastal Carolina dub that lives up to the hype in MIAMI GUNS. Parody without quite being parody, a new anime opens in an American city that doesn’t look quiiiiiite accurate. And that rocks. Enjoy!

Liv and Trevor talk about 1993’s biggest blockbuster, the Super Mario Brothers movie?!? That’s right, it’s the John Leguizamo and Bob Hoskins joint that should’ve changed the world.

We welcome Paul Thind of Aethir on the pod! A somewhat different episode than you might be used to I get the gist of Paul's intriguing distributed GPU concept that Aethir is pushing towards and then we get in the weeds as we discuss fairly opposed views on AI, crypto, and the future of gaming framed against the future of the planet. Oh and death metal, also that! A productive and challenging convo for me and one I hope you enjoy! S...
