The Talkthrough

Hey everybody, in this episode of The Talkthrough, we get evicted from our apartment, come perilously close losing our job, and end up sleeping on an old leather couch in the back of a shelter. 

And yes, we're still playing Spider-man. Some more super hero events unfold as well, but you'll just have to play or listen along to find out what.

Thanks for listening!

Well we're in it now, and the troubles just keep rolling in for our friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Join us as we combat foes new and old, take pictures of bridges, and try (see: fail) to get Peter Parker to work on time.

In this episode we cover the missions Fisk Hideout, Landmarking, For She's a Jolly Good Fellow, Don't Touch the Art, and A Shocking Comeback.

We also discuss Hi-Fi Rush and Metroid Prime Remastered.

Welcome, true believers and newcomers alike, to Season 8 of the Talkthrough! Join us as we get ready for a true superhero action thriller with our primer episode - packed to the brim with (discussions of) thrills and chills, twists and turns, more supervillains than you can shake a web at and of course, non-stop web-slinging wall-crawling action!

This season we're playing through Insomniac's Spider-Man, and we start by recapping both the studio's and Spidey's storied videogame history.

Join us next week for our fist gameplay episode.

It's time for another edition of Talkthrough Tries, where Jordan and WIlson try out a game neither of them have played and tell you all about it! This time we're looking at Hi-Fi Rush, a rhythm action game from Tango Gameworks. Is it be a banger or will we have to change the station? Find out on this episode!

Next week will be the primer episode of Season 8: Spider-Man.

Hop onto our Jet Ski and ride away into the sunset with us as we wrap up our playthrough of Resident Evil 4. In this episode we're ranking bosses, talking story (for better or worse), and inspecting the power curve. Spoiler alert: it's right around 9000.

Thanks for listening!

It's time to finish things! After getting injected with a parasite, battling all manner of horrors, rescuing Ashley (x3), and wiping the floor with an army of goons, Leon is finally ready to take down the Big Bad. Join us for our final gameplay episode of Resident Evil, where we find out if our hero survives and more importantly if that chopper ever arrives. We also discuss how cool Ada is (very) and hand out our last Ls and Ws.

Next week will be our wrapup episode for RE4.

Two areas down, one to go. This week on the Talkthrough we're off to an island, once again in search of the president's daughter, who is proving to be a rather slippery person to rescue. Leon is full of confidence, though, which is good- he'll need it as he faces BDSM-rockers, spiky bois, waste disposal machinery and more.

In this episode we play through chapters 5-1 and 5-2

Next week will be our last gampelya episode for Resident Evil 4.

The time has finally come for Leon Kennedy to face the master of the castle, Ramon Salazar... just as soon as he blows up a boulder, melts a door, kills two giants, careens through a mine shaft, navigates ancient ruins, and outruns a 100ft tall statue. Will he make it? More importantly, will he have a sick burn for Salazar when he does? Find out this week as Jordan and Wilson finish up the castle section of RE:4.

In this episode we cover chapters 4-2, 4-3, and 4-4

Do you like insane, overly complicated traps? Watching giant bugs fly out of ceilings with your VIP? How about being chased through a sewer by an unstoppable monster? 

If any of those sound appealing, well do we have an episode for you!

Thanks for listening!

(The checkpoint for our next episode will be the end of Chapter 4.)

Free at last! With Ashley safely in the clutches of our enemies, Leon finally gets some alone time. Hopefully no cages will fall out of the ceiling and trap him with a deadly for. Find out this week as we take on invisible bugs, Wilson is fiscally irresponsible, and Jordan dies (a lot).

In this episode, we cover chapters 3-2 and 3-3

After escaping the horros of rural Generic Europe, Leon and Ashley have decided to lay low in a nearby castle, where hopefully the host will be more welcoming. It's unlikely, given that this is a survival horror game, but one can hope. Join Jordan and Wilson as they explore the new area, play around with some new toys, and meet new (and old) friends, all in the friendly confines of Generic European Castle.

We also discuss what we've been playing (and giving up on).

Resident Evil discussion starts at 10:45

This week on the Talkthrough, we're leaving the village. With Ashley in tow, Jordan and Wilson try to guide Leon through a gauntlet of flaming baddies, carefully laid traps, grossly inappropriate remarks, and...a truck? Will they survive the onslaught? Will Leon finally say something intelligent? Find out on this week's episode!

We're playing through chapters 2-2 and 2-3

The horrors continue in this week's episode of the Talkthrough. Join Jordan and WIlson as they brave nonsensical puzzles, boat rides, and puppies. Also horrible monstrosities that want to maim and/or eat us. 

We're playing through chapters 1-3 and 2-1

Thanks for listening!

Aquí esta! Now that we're primed and ready, it's time to start playing everyone's favorite over-the-shoulder action horror masterpiece. Join us as we invade peoples' homes, meet charming locals, and lose an excellent jacket.

We'll be playing through chapters 1-1 and 1-2 in this episode

Capcom, we're coming for you. The Resident Evil 4 remake is around the corner, but we ain't got the funds for that, so join us in playing through the original game! Step one, as always, let's get primed. Wilson takes us through the development history of the game, and Jordan tries admirably to explain what in the world is going on in the Resident Evil universe.

Our first checkpoint will be the end of chapter 1 part 2.

Thanks for listening!

It's time for another one-off episode, where we take on smaller games and cover them with - you guessed it - one episode. This time around Jordan and Wilson are solving puzzles and trying not to get killed in Inside, from developer Playdead. Playdead's previous game, Limbo, won acclaim for its dark atmosphere and excellent puzzles and Inside looks to carry on that tradition. Join us as we run from dogs, run from men, run from waves of concussive force, swim from something, and finally run at men in a journey to do...well we'll get there when we get there.

Trigger Warning: Depictions of child death are discussed in this episode.

It's time to reflect on our playthrough of Lionhead's Fable!
We'll be discussing characters, story, game-play, playing everyone's favorite music game, sharing our favorite moments from the game, and playing fun little mini-game to wrap things up. Come on in and see if you share our thoughts or can ace our games.

Fable discussion starts at 11:24

We did it! After many weeks of battling balverines, trolls, skeletons, guards, minions, more trolls, Jack of Blades, different balverines, and Jack of Blades again, Jordan and Wilson have completed Fable. In this episode, they dive into the Lost Chapters content that comes after defeating Jack of Blades. It's not quite an expansion, but it's certainly more than the original game. How does it stack up?

Fable discussion starts immediately.

Thanks for listening!

Welcome to 2023! To kick this episode off, Jordan and WIlson share some of their favorite games from 2022, and reveal what they'll be playing in 2023.

There's also the small matter of beating Fable to get to, and it's getting close. This week we'll be journeying to the Hook Coast, getting betrayed, and making big decisions about who'll be coming to Christmas next year. Oh, and defeating Jack of Blades. So join us as we close out the original questline of Fable before moving on to the Lost Chapters next week!

Fable discussion starts at 20:20
