Nioh essentially plays nothing like the Souls games, which people seem to assume, get shit on and then proceed to hate on it as a "shitty souls clone". It's like people forgot how shit they were at DeS when it released because they simply hadn't played anything modern like it before. Seriously, if you do have the time, go through Nioh. The combat has insane amounts of depth. Team ninja is back bb

the reason people are not pointing out the games story as much as for a movie is because story is a secondary thing to gameplay in videogames.

Because 10/10 is literally the best score you can give. I don't agree with people that think that means perfect but don't pretend it's that hard to see their point.

Podquisition 489: Keeping Up With The Kids

In this episode Crendor insists he should make his own podcast, Jesse shares some stories of his time in Poland, and the boys try to solve the case of the missing lunch meat. 

Episode 101 - The Crendor Show

A sad Radiohead time is delivered to your ears this week and we're sorry about that. 

Fortunately, we also bring VR talk, Uncharted 4 impressions, talk of Watch Dogs 2, and Fragments of Him. 

So that's nice! 

Podquisition Episode 77: Radiohead

It should come as no surprise that the Podquisition gang has plenty to say about Tracer's recent queer revelations (good stuff, obviously). 

Outside of that, Gavin tries to infiltrate the show with sly music talk, the Nintendo Switch got some new patent details, and one of us doesn't think Super Mario Run is very good.

Podquisition Episode 110: Gay

In this brief teaser episode, lovely boys Jim Sterling and Conrad Zimmerman introduce you to Jonathan Off Road Rules, who once was famous for being on Road Rules, and one day will be again. We'll make sure of it.

Boston's Favorite Son: The Prequel Preview Teaser Episode

Do you like Animals? Do you enjoy Old Wives Tales? Does expensive cheese and and a warm fire sound inviting? Well then today's episode is for you! I'd explain more, but really there is no explanation that can justify it.
