EXP Podcast #379: Dark Souls III Debrief, Part 2

Scott meets Champion Gundyr

We did it! Scott and I have linked the flame (maybe), and beaten Dark Souls III. How does it hold up to Bloodborne? Did I ever figure out Sorcery? Has Scott stopped spamming R1 attacks all day in PVP? These questions and more in our epic Dark Souls III debrief.

EXP Podcast #378: Trailer Warfare

A mustache for any era of war

Horse warfare or robot warfare?  You must choose a side.  Unless you're like us and are holding out for robot horse warfare.  The recent Battlefield 1 and Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare trailers whipped the Internet in a frenzy, so we're here to help.  And by help I mean reveal our new pitch for a basketball dating sim starring Prince.

Stay frosty.

Never count out Blizzard. Right when we think they can't take up more of our time, they come out with Overwatch. But will Overwatch replace other competitive games? Should we be thinking about Overwatch as a lifestyle? All this and more!

EXP Podcast #376: The Witness Debrief

Fervently praying for a solution to a line puzzle

After dozens of hours, a whole bunch of graph paper, and more than a little frustrated cursing, we've come to the end of The Witness. Then again, maybe you never really finish The Witness. I know I'm still seeing line puzzles hidden within every day objects. In any case, it's time to debrief and discuss what we learned about technological hubris, metaphysics, and maddening line puzzles.
