434: Expelled! An Overboard! Game

Expelled! is the latest game from all-star narrative design studio Inkle. It's a follow up to our 2021 Game of the Year winner Overboard!, and it builds on that game's strengths in every conceivable area. A School Prefect has been pushed out of a window, and everyone says YOU did it! Now you have one day to clear your name. Can you uncover the culprit -- or find someone else to take the fall?

432: Sheepy: A Short Adventure

All four co-hosts are present and accounted for as we talk about ultra-short platformer, Sheepy: A Short Adventure. It's right there in the name! Sheepy is a FREE game on Steam and itch.io, and it'll take you about an hour. It's surprisingly polished for a free release, with charming animations and very good music, plus some incomprehensible lore! We also go into some tech tips for those playing on Steam Deck, since the game is completely…

430: Steam Deck Chat

This week we are welcoming long time friend of the show Jason McIntosh (aka Jmac, aka Halstrick) who's joining us to talk about the Valve Steam Deck. It's been about three years since the Steam Deck launched, and it's had a profound effect on the way all of us play games. Also, Laura just got one! We had a long chat about the how we've used the Deck and what it's meant in our gaming lives for these last few years. Jason has a great short-form…
