EXP Podcast #425: Embarrassing Games

Dammit, Persona 5: you're not making this easy...
You won't find more stalwart defenders of video games as an artistic medium than Jorge and me, but even we have our moments of feeling self conscious.  How does one describe the plot of Metal Gear Solid or talk about the hour the spent trying to shape a virtual brow line without feeling just a tad embarrassed?  This week we revisit the concept of game shame, recount sick burns from loved ones, and try to rationally justify our relationship with Tom Nook.

EXP Podcast #424: The Legend of Zelda: The Breath of the Wild Debrief, Part 2

"Hey there good lookin'!"
We're back in Hyrule this week, bringing you a riveting discussion of big ol' horses, the Hylean Real Estate market, and Zoran biology. We've also got some serious questions about Link's moral fiber and tardy attendance. You can find our first Breath of the Wild debrief right here, and all of our debriefs in our handy navigation bar.

If you're playing Breath of the Wild right now, consider playing along with us! Next time on the podcast, we'll be tackling the desert divine beast (yes, we called them Ancient Guardians in the podcast. Woops.) Join us!

EXP Podcast #423: Project Scorpio Preview

Look at all those transistors!
Microsoft revealed some more information on their Xbox One refresh, project Scorpio. This kind of mid-cycle upgrade is still a new thing in the console space, so we use the new information as a starting point to check in on the PlayStation 4 Pro, the state of 4K and HDR, and the current console exclusives. Additionally, we almost talk ourselves into buying a Game Boy camera and printer.

EXP Podcast #422: Going Mad Catz

An enemy from Horizon Zero Dawn?
The gaming industry has suffered another loss, this time in the form of (in)famous peripheral manufacturer Mad Catz. What have we gained from their past creations? And what have we now lost, that is, besides controllers seemingly made from rubbish found at some estate sale? All this and more in this week's episode!
