We're back with an episode shockingly not on labor issues in gaming! Is this because we are bold and love new ideas or because I just had a full hour long talk on Riot with a Rioter? Who can say -- what I can say is: Sonic Movie! Overwatch Cinematic Universe (?!)! And Anthem.... :(
We welcome old friend and colleague Jocelyn @guldeuxchats Monahan on to the show to talk about the Riot! walkout from her position on the ground. Absolutely indispensible audio if you care at all about labor and gaming -- Joce is a force.
We welcome noted author of The Pervert and all around good twitter provacateur Michelle @mperezwritesirl Perez to the show to talk about Assassin's Creed, porn in 2019, the deeply reactionary ways our world is evolving, and basically everything else under the sun. A massive and fun journey into the world of a conversation awaits!
Jon and I take an unusually winding path to the news this week as we record in the dead hours of the early morning! Listen to us try to unpack labor issues, MK11 crunch, Path of Exile News, and, god help us, Days Gone!
We welcome scholar and gentleman Ian Mooney on the show to talk about Bioshock Infinite, philosophy, videogames, and aesthetics. The Platonic Ideal of No Cartridge!
Liv joins me as always for an After Dark grilling of everyone's favorite baseball labor writer cum Assassin's Creed expert Marc Normandin! Is this our most dad episode yet? Liv will try to stem the tide, but no promises.
We welcome the illustrious Dendy Crew (@dendycrew) to discuss rhythm gaming, electronic music, and the nature of being embarrassed in public vs enjoying the space of dance. Absolute must listen from everyone's favorite elephant producer.
Jon is back with me, Trevor, talking about Telltale Games' ex-CEO and his extremely strange article, as well as the PS5 and the new Mortal Kombat Slavery Ender Sim.
FROM THE NO CARTRIDGE PATREON ARCHIVES: I think through Ruiner, Cuphead, and the nature of gatekeeping and difficulty. Discover why I think Ruiner is okay but forgettable and Cuphead is a potentially game-changing title! A great episode if you just picked up Cuphead on Switch or have feelings about easy mode discourse!
Jon and Trev are back to talk about the news and views you so crave! This week -- Star Wars games and Star Wars argument/fatigue; and Elder Scrolls: Blades, the legalized gambling young minds crave. Enjoy!
