The guys discuss Baldur’s Gate 3 and Dead by Daylight, as well as other topics.
This week’s news items include:
Let us know what you think.
As a huge fan of Showtime’s Dexter, we’re excited (afraid?) to hear they’re making a game in its image. We actually pay for an Amazon Unbox because we’re too cheap to buy Showtime for all their other shows. A Dexter game could be killer on the PC and iPhone.
Obviously the first problem to concern ourselves with is the franchise name, all too often we end up with ‘branded’ named games that produce awful results. It’s easy to get lost in the idea of making money on the name Dexter than putting in the time to a quality game release.
There is a high probability a Dexter game is going to suck, but we can hold up our hopes they do the franchise justice and create something scary but entertaining with a good storyline. How else can you represent a TV series in which the main character is a serial killer and he justifies his killings?

This week we’re bringing the energy, talking about General Computer Corporation, Ms. Pac-Man and reading off some good listener questions (including our facebook questions). We’re hitting up the news with the following stories:
This week’s question of the week, are we going to spend more money on episodic content than a single-boxed game?
The longest title recorded on the books, let’s hope it fits! 🙂 This week we covered the gaming history for Adventures of Lolo and a bit about HAL Labratory all in honor of a new game we recently purchased to play with our kids: Kirby’s Epic Yarn. So far so good, our son is enjoying 2-player mode with us. This week we did an on-the-spot mini-review breakdown of Kirby’s Epic Yarn while hitting up some gaming news including:
Of course, a special thanks for Herr Alien and all his news posts this week, we got a bunch of them into the show. This week’s question o’ the week, what musician/group would you like to see featured in a video game and what genre would fit them?
Hi guys.
Thanks a lot for your work with this episode!
It’s always fun listening to you guys talking about the different games and all the stuff around it 🙂
I did not play that much pc or video games lately, because I was a lot in the road for concerts. I played a lot of Pokémon Go because I am waking around a lot (about 15 kilometers a day), just to be not in my apartment and to set my mind free (I hope that’s the correct translation).
I want to play BG3 as well but first I want to finish some other games (God of war (not the last one … the one before that!!!)and True Colors)… I hope time will come when I sit down and relax … maybe if I move to a new apartment.
This week there will be games con here in cologne. Does anyone of you plan to visit? Or did visit, depending when you read this 🙂 ).
Greetings from Germany,
Ralf!
