Remember, remember the 5th of November, the Highfleet, the nukes, and the plot... In this SUPER DRUNKEN EPISODE OF UNSPEAKABLE GLORY, we finally get to do our full review of the immaculately byzantine festival of liquid-methane powered carnage, "Highfleet," a game that redefines the procedurally generated rogue-like action-strategy of "FTL"-style gameplay and takes into to whole new levels of addictive complexity. AND MOAR!

BLGP EP 367: Highfleet Reviewed

In this - incredibly boozy - episode, we review the spectacular "Figths In Tight Spaces," a FTL-meets-Jet-Li-style deckbuilding roguelike with deceptively deep turn-based martial arts mechanics. ALSO: we talk a little about "Warpips," a great "tower OFFENSE" tug of war pixel-trash game whose light tactical elements belie a... well, who are we kidding: lots of fucking explosions. AND MOAR!

This week, we clear the deck to talk about some game called "Baldur's Gate 3." These detailed first impressions are absolutely spoiler free, in the off chance that some listeners might want to play it. To paraphrase the game, "Oh! Do please resist my generous offer; avail yourself of every opportunity, exhaust every potential, chase down and make certain that all competitors ultimately go to ground, evaporating in fantasy. And then, when you have for so long whittled at the bone of hope that you scarcely notice your blade has long begun to carve the fruitless marrow of your own despair... then I will be waiting to hear you beg to accept."

Been a busy week here at the Fortress of Darkness, and some kind of weather is rumoured soon.

Our offerings are rounded out by a slasher survival horror franchise adaptation ("Texas Chainsaw Massacre"), and even a racing game you can attempt to play for free all weekend! ALL THIS AND MOAR!

In our "Don't be evil," file, we talk this week about how "Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2" remastered doesn't work on our linux machine, oh, and also how Google has been preventing you from searching for the criteria you enter into it in an intentional and malicious way that, really, the FTC/SEC/FCC should all be very interested in.

BLGP EP 467: THE FINAL EPISODE

Well, the Barr-redacted long-witheld Mueller Report was released yesterday, after one of the single weirdest pieces of kabuki press-conference ever, so this week, we match my mood (bewildered, frothy anger-crazy) with a selection of excellent 2D hyper-violent games ("Guns, Guts, and Cannoli 2," "Katana Zero," etc.). In news of interest to Linuxers who have love hate relationships with the service, we talk about a fantastic new method to exfiltrate your books from their site, liberating them from their DRM chains (and vendor lock-in). And we also take a moment to highlight the excellent "Supraland," discuss our plans for next week's LinuxFest Northwest, and much more in this enormous show!
