EXP Podcast #654: Sifu, Subnautica, and The Elden Wait

Before and after 2020
The Elden Ring
is almost here, which means we are just biding our time with some video games and honing reflects and patience. This week on the Podcast, we speculate about what's coming in Elden Ring and follow-up with some thoughts on Sifu, the new Kung-Fu inspired brawler, and Subnautica, an older but fascinating deep-sea survival game.

EXP Podcast #653: Pokemon Legends: Arceus and the What If Machine

What if...we caught 'em all?
What if they made a Pokemon game where Pokemon actually roamed the countryside?  What if you could actually interact or be attacked by wild Pokemon?  What if catching 'em all involved stealthy, precision pokeball tosses?  Sometimes we think about the alternate history or hypothetical tangents our favorite franchises and genres could take.  This week, we use Pokemon Legends: Arceus as a starting point to discuss what happens when an established idea or approach takes an unusual turn.  Is it everything we hoped for or should we be careful about we wish for?  All I know is that, no matter what the future holds, I have an army Bidoofs at my disposal.
