Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S1E84 - TOEM 2 Review (ft. Kyle Stephenson) [Episode 84]
Q: Do folks need to play the first TOEM before playing TOEM 2?
The hosts agree that TOEM 2 is connected to the first game through its protagonist and shared vibes, but TOEM 2 can be enjoyed on its own; playing TOEM 1 provides context and visual continuity, while TOEM 2 stands as a distinct, polished experience.
S1E83 - Best of PAX West 2026 [ft. Bret Griffen] (Episode 83)
Q: Which game stood out to Bret as a highlight?
Bret highlighted Wrestle Story as a standout due to its solid combat mechanics, engaging world, and the excitement around its wrestling theme, which resonated with the crowd and felt like a strong showcase for indie design.
S1E83 - Best of PAX West 2026 [ft. Bret Griffen] (Episode 83)
Q: How was PAX West?
PAX West felt good but with a more subdued, casual vibe and fewer heavy hitters on the floor, which changed the energy and pacing of the show, though there was still plenty of excitement around indie titles and demos.
S1E73 - Replaced could be one of 2026's best games [ft. Travis Colenutt] (Episode 73)
Q: Travis, does your experience with Replaced align with our expectations from the demo, or has it evolved as you've spent more time with the full game?
My impression shifted from the initial demo to the full game: the world-building and cinematic polish stood out more, the art direction remains striking, and the pacing balance between exploration, dialogue, and action became clearer as I played longer.
