Hey there backers, are you ready for a spooky spring? We're rolling up on our traditional springtime survival horror episode, and we're having trouble deciding. That's why we're putting the question to you. Perilous pursuit? Inseparable specters? Anxious action? Rivets, rust, and rivulets of blood? Any of them would be a great choice, but we're putting the onus on you. Sweet screams!THE POLL DEADLINE IS FRIDAY MARCH 13 AT 11:59 PM EASTERN TIME.Vote Here: 2015-03-04 15:23:33 +0000 UTC

Discussion of Air Fortress, a serviceable yet boring shoot 'em up / jump 'em up, quickly turns to erotic fan fiction about the robot from Lost in Space, the curse of penis-shaped food, and powdered peanut butter.

Kole goes into way too much detail about something very few people care about. Also, the sun rose this morning.

In this episode, Nick and Gary discuss Sunless Sea and The Last Door. I'd call this our Lovecraft special but it's not like we're not going to do a thousand more Lovecraft-y games. This is one of the best batting averages we've had.

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross talk about the first third of Lords of the Fallen, up through the Worshipper.
Our Followers season continues with a big next-gen game that wears its Dark Souls influence on its sleeve. Can we look past the goofy name and overwrought story? This first episode contains a lot of coverage of the generalities, including discussion of things Dark Souls fans will like, and things Dark Souls fans will hate.

Kole, Ben, and David talk about the Peter Molyneux interview, Sunless Sea, and we hold a Free Play Multiplayer.

Gary Butterfield, Kole Ross, and Zack Johnson open a hailing frequency to talk about Star Control II.
The Ur-Quan and their battle thralls have dominated this quadrant of the galaxy, and it's up to a human crew with some Precursor technology to reunite the Alliance of Free Stars and act as liberators. This is a game that defies categorization. Part space combat arcade game, part resource gathering, part adventure game... the larger picture of all of these pretty little parts is an engro...

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross read your responses to Jet Set Radio.
The audience was mostly in agreement with us that the game is a case of style over substance. But tune in to hear the praise anyway, because damn is that style good. Also, Brayton Cameron calls in to educate us on where the music in Jet Set Radio comes from.

Where do mimes come from? How do you undertake to make fun of a clown so that he really stays made fun of? Jenni from Video Games Taco (@lycrashampoo) joins us to find out. Stalin vs. Martians was only available for purchase for a few months in 2009. It was released with all the fanfare inherent in its ridiculous premise, and then pulled from the market when its terrible strategy gameplay was ridiculed. What's left is a bizarre art project that's almost impossible to make fun of. But here we ...

Gary Butterfield and Kole Ross dig through the ditches of Jet Set Radio.
It's gang warfare in its most stylish and innocent form. It's also a gleeful tribute to free expression in the face of corporate oppression. It's got one of the best soundtracks in any game, ever. Difficulty issues aside, this is a unique game that's worth playing if only to see the kinds of strange things that happened in the Dreamcast era.
