Video Game Purists Ep 27: A Little Sauced
This week things are winding down a bit but that doesn’t stop our brave hosts from enjoying the finer things in life like playing the Switch during a power outage and enjoying The Transformers in movie form. Trees is future planning for Kingdom Come: Deliverance leaving Game Pass, seeing the better life in No Man’s Sky, and finally purchasing Mr. Driller. Fred learned that Shadow of the Colossus on PS4, although beautiful, is not for him. On the other hand a cheap pick-up of Trine: Enhanced Edition (XB1) and Transformers: War for Cybertron (PC) are keeping a strong smile on his face.

Video Game Purists Ep 26: Yep, It’s Halo
This week Fred and Trees talk about the infamous Xbox Showcase that left almost everyone less than impressed. Trees has started up Paper Mario: The Origami King and returns to the drastically changed world of No Man’s Sky. Fred played a bunch of demos on Xbox, gave up on The Witcher 2, completely played Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap as well as Resident Evil 0, and finally struggled with Shadow of the Colossus (PS4).

Video Game Purists Ep 25: Meet Ribbie the Rib
This week it’s almost no real life and all games. Trees and Fred discuss the glory days of Playstation Home, HD Retrovision cables and the bubble economy of second hand gaming. Trees has been working his way through Nascar Heat 5 (and enjoying it) as well as delving into Mr. Driller in Drill Land on the Switch. Fred continues to work through The Witcher 2 and Halo 2 co-op with his daughter, while also going all retro on Saturdays with Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap and of all things Burn: Cycle on the Phillips CD-i.

They don’t go through the campaign step by step, but rather discuss the four major elements that appear in the game: tech, gameplay, plot, and discourse. If it hasn’t been made clear, this podcast contains spoilers.

Video Game Purists Ep 20: Color Me Impressed
This week is all about comfort gaming. Whether it’s Lego Pirates of the Carribean or Assassin’s Creed, Fred and Trees are playing what they enjoy. There’s plenty of titles discussed and it all wraps with a lengthy discussion on the PS5 reveal. This discussion is more about the games rather than the episode Fred and Andy previously did.

Lets Talk About PS5
Fred is joined by Andy of 42 Level One to discuss what yesterday’s presentation actually meant in the lead up to the launch of Playstation 5. While opinions on personal taste in the games shown will be abundant, we wanted to talk about the business decisions Sony is making and what it means to the average consumer. Sadly, communication from Sony is poor on this front and it’s due to some of these decisions, as we discuss. If you are scratching your head after this presentation, you want to listen to this episode.
