Controller Confessions - Part 1
We've all done it. You promise to play something but don't follow through. Also, Taylor (kind of, lol) makes his freestyle rap debut. Join us for the first attempt at our new mini-series called Controller Confessions.
In this episode, we're trying out a new format that allows us to catch up with each other about the games we play solo. More importantly, we confess about the games we promised to play but never did. The versatility of the Pizza Tower soundtrack comes up, Taylor spits fire (discreetly), and Willie updates us on his Star Wars Jedi: Survivor progress. Joseph digs into the deep and powerful messaging behind the platformer, Celeste, and Willie's computer crashes in the middle of the episode, lol. As usual, Taylor finds a way to shift the conversation toward AI, we chat horror games, and Willie shares how he uses Dungeon Alchemist to create D&D maps. Later in the episode, we revisit Shadow of Mordor's groundbreaking Nemesis System, which prompts a stream of confessions, and we wrap with the speculation surrounding Redfall.
