Episode 15 -- Side Quests
A No Cartridge Update and Manifesto followed by a serious consideration of why I like side quests so much.
Episode 14 - Night in the Woods and Creepypasta
We talk creepypasta and narrative window dressing in relation to Night in the Woods' adept use of the supernatural.
Episode 13 - Night in the Woods with Scott Benson
Scott Benson, one third of Infinite Fall, the studio that brought us the charming cult-hit Night in the Woods, stops by to talk game design, narrative, aesthetics, depression, capitalism, and politics. Seriously, it's good.
Episode 11 - Open World Games
I theorize open world gaming as a genre and as an aesthetic, loosely upon the occasion of Breath of the Wild being so so good.
Episode 10 -- Fire Pro Series with Alex Navarro
We invite Alex Navarro on the show to talk Super Fire Pro Wrestling Special, as well as the history and legacy (and perhaps future) of the classic wrestling franchise. Oh and we talk smarks, too.
Episode 9 - Nier: Automata
We talk genre in Nier: Automata and the idea of constrained aesthetics. We also get a guest appearance from Ira Glass (NOTE: Not really Ira Glass).
Episode 7 - Sunless Sea
We delve into what exactly appeals to me about Sunless Sea, a game I have played for hours and hours with no clear ultimate outcome.
Episode 6 - Planescape: Torment
We discuss narrative, RPG history, irony, and how we tell stories in this, a double-sized No Cartridge Audio episode 6
Episode 5 - Alan Wake and Deadly Premonition
We cover two twinned but importantly distinct video game homages to Twin Peaks in Alan Wake and Deadly Premonition in episode 5!
Episode 4 - Euro Truck Simulator 2
Patron only work...free for the launch! We talk Euro Truck Simulator and the nature of work versus play.
