EXP Podcast #379: Dark Souls III Debrief, Part 2

Scott meets Champion Gundyr
We did it! Scott and I have linked the flame (maybe), and beaten Dark Souls III. How does it hold up to Bloodborne? Did I ever figure out Sorcery? Has Scott stopped spamming R1 attacks all day in PVP? These questions and more in our epic Dark Souls III debrief.

EXP Podcast #376: The Witness Debrief

Fervently praying for a solution to a line puzzle
After dozens of hours, a whole bunch of graph paper, and more than a little frustrated cursing, we've come to the end of The Witness. Then again, maybe you never really finish The Witness. I know I'm still seeing line puzzles hidden within every day objects. In any case, it's time to debrief and discuss what we learned about technological hubris, metaphysics, and maddening line puzzles.
