Spoiler Warning<\/h3>\n
Between 2009 and 2017, I hosted the Spoiler Warning videogame commentary series here on my site. The intent of the series is to watch a game and hold an unrehearsed conversation between hosts of various ages and gaming backgrounds. I parted ways with the cast back in 2017<\/a> and they’ve sinced moved on to the dedicated Spoiler Warning YouTube channel<\/a>, but you can still read the pre-2017 archives here on my site. I normally posted a short essay along with each video, so the archives might be worth a look even if you’re not the video-watching type.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Season 23: Dishonored DLC<\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n(March 2017)<\/p>\n

The Dishonored DLC is so much better than the core game. Don’t worry, we still find things to complain about.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n(Nov 2016 – Feb 2017)<\/p>\n

Is it a teen slasher flick? A horror movie? An adventure game? A mystery? A monster movie? Like the developers, we’re not really sure. But it’s a unique experience with fantastic production values.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n(June 2016 – October 2016)<\/p>\n

Bethesda gives us yet another Fallout game where the tone is wrong, the story is nonsense, the characters don’t work, the mechanics are broken, and it’s somehow still fun anyway.<\/p>\n

Season 19: Knights of the Old Republic<\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n(August 2015 – March 2016)<\/p>\n

The BioWare classic that began the company transformation from turn-based RPGs to third-person action games. It’s charming, odd, glitchy, and captures the “feel” of classic Star Wars better than 90% of the Star Wars games out there.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n(June 2015 – July 2015)<\/p>\n

A wonderful debut title for a promising franchise. Josh is the only one on the cast not delighted with the game in some way. Unfortunately, Josh is also the one playing.<\/p>\n

Season 17: Hitman Absolution<\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n(March 2015 – May 2015)<\/p>\n

A horrendous failure on every level, Absolution might be the worst game we’ve covered on the show so far. It’s stupid, ugly, linear, and irritating. But its most unforgivable sin is that it’s just a terrible Hitman game.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Games as movies” might be a bad idea, but we’re willing to cut it some slack when the “movie” part is THIS good. This is a beautiful and masterful bit of cinematography mixed with a completely rote and uninspired set of mechanics.<\/p>\n

Arkane tries their hand at a Looking Glass style game. We end up with tight gameplay, ambitious worldbuilding, and flavorless characters. The opening is a little rough, but we warm up to it.<\/p>\n

Season 7: Deus Ex: Human Revolution<\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n(Jan 2012 – March 2012)<\/p>\n

We welcome Chris<\/a> to the show as a regular cast member, and look at this ambitious update to a beloved classic. 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.<\/p>\n

Ironically, a lot of people did ask for this.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now you can watch a show where we watch Josh pretend to be Desmond Miles who is pretending to be an Italian noble pretending to be an assassin pretending to be not a complete asshole. <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

We welcome Mumbles<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n(Jan 2010 – Apr 2010)<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
