Remember when "the dress" broke the internet? Well, Taylor gets GOT by it, lol. Join us as we get to the bottom of it and then talk about some of our all-time favorite video games.
In this episode, we each present (2) games off our all-time favorites lists. Exploring Resident Evil, we talk about door animations and how RE opened the door for countless horror survival games. Then, stop in Hyrule to remember you could cut grass, and Taylor invents a new item called the "Wind Stick" for The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. A love for sci-fi adds Prey (2017) to the list, and Willie and Taylor chat about finding their friend's pizza box design in the game. The list wouldn't be complete without one of the best 1st person-shooter franchises ever—Halo. Willie picks Halo 3 and talks about the impact of the marketing campaigns for the game. Gears of War reminds us of just how badass the Lancer is, and Joseph talks about playing the game with friends during a deployment to Iraq. We wrap by discussing the art direction of Surviving Mars and how the gameplay is impressive for a city builder made for consoles.
