Duncan and Angus are back on Something, Something, Side Quest to drop some hot takes on a very classic gamer dilemma: do official strategy guides enhance the game, or do they rob you of the thrill of discovery? We dive deep into how open-world behemoths like Breath of the Wild and Pokémon Scarlet & Violet have shifted the way we explore, and whether "hand-holding" mechanics give you FOMO or just decision paralysis.
Also in this episode:
We nostalgic over the glorious days of physical gaming booklets and artwork.
A highly scientific breakdown of the Regi puzzles in Generation 3 Pokémon.
A dark hypothetical: How many rowdy kindergartners could a grown adult realistically take down in a brick room?
Our personal survival strategies for the zombie apocalypse (hint: we’re driving inland).
Hit play, drop a comment, and let us know your strategic plans for a toddler brawl!
