The Gamers with Glasses Show, Episode 25: Super Blast

In this episode, we finally lay out a firm and simple spectrum with which to rate all games, and it goes from narcissism to nihilism. Don delights in the pure semiotics of Akka Arrh. Christian plays Season, a “non-dystopian, post-apocalyptic bicycle scrapbook game” in which anxiety over the future doesn’t necessarily mean panic. We talk about Dredge and reminisce on fishing minigames of times gone by, because fishing is golf.

Also, this episode is kind of an old one! We shifted the release schedule because we really wanted to make sure our episode with Caroline and Taylor got up on the website while the Queer Games Bundle was still on sale. Therefore, in this episode, we’ll offer some predictions about what Tears of the Kingdom will be like, because it wasn’t out yet. All our predictions were 100% correct, of course.

Roger talks Dead Cells and Castlevania, Nate complains about the Unbearable Lightness of Mario, and we all get to share our favorite long falls in video games. Don wins the podcast: “If Cuphead and Flamehead got together, they could make Crème-brûlée-head.” It’s a super blast.
