Spoiler Warning is a videogame commentary series. A "Let's Play", in the vernacular. The intent of the series is to watch a game and hold an unrehersed conversation between hosts of various ages and gaming backgrounds.

All episodes feature music from Kevin MacLeod. Artwork by Dan and Rutskarn.



Season 7: Deus Ex: Human Revolution

Is this game a masterful and cunning improvement on modern shooters, or a short, dumbed-down bastardization of its predecessor? I think we conclude that it's kind of both.

Ironically, a lot of people did ask for this.

Season 6: Assassin's Creed 2

Now you can watch a show where we watch Josh pretend to be Desmond Miles who is pretending to be an assassin pretending to be an Itialian noble. It's all very meta.

This game scored 91/100 on Metacritic. But we would puke on Metacritic if we had any puke left over after puking on this game. This thing is a mess, and we can prove it.

Season 4: Mass Effect 2

In this season we moved from Viddler to YouTube, began releasing in HD, and changed the show from 30-40 minutes to 14-15 minutes. If you want to try to watch the entire thing in one sitting, here is the YouTube playlist. Knock yourself out.

In complaince with all Alliance Affirmative Action Protocols, we changed Commander Shepard into a woman. She didn't seem to mind.

Season 3: BioShock

We welcome Mumbles to the show by dumping on a game she enjoyed. That's what friends are for. More importantly, we learn that combat-focused shooters are a poor choice for our series, no matter how rich their environments and characterization might be.

This series was further hampered by the fact that it claimed to be a "spiritual successor" to Shamus' #1 super-favorite funtime super-game, and he might have gone a bit nuts because of that. He got better.

Season 1: Mass Effect

Our first season. It's very rough by today's standards. The audio was crap, the pacing was tortuous, the episodes were too long, and we hadn't worked out what our goal was or how we should play the game. We just decided to get out on stage, turn the amps up to 11, and THEN learn to play the guitar.

Enjoy!
