Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Metal Slug – Cane and Rinse No.715
Q: How do the boss fights contribute to the game's reputation for difficulty and charm?
Boss battles are lengthy, HP-heavy affairs with large, detailed sprites; learning attack patterns and exploiting tank mechanics (like grenades vs. cannons) often determines progress, making victories feel earned and memorable.
Metal Slug – Cane and Rinse No.715
Q: What makes the gameplay loop feel different from other run-and-gun games like Contra?
Metal Slug emphasizes precise timing, environmental interaction, and strategic use of the tank and weapon power-ups, which creates a slower, more deliberate pace and a strong emphasis on positioning and momentum rather than pure speed.
Metal Slug – Cane and Rinse No.715
Q: When did you first encounter Metal Slug and what drew you to it?
Memories of seeing the game in quirky arcades and chip shops, combined with its striking art style and explosion-filled action, drew the group in and kept them returning for years across multiple platforms.
Demon’s Souls – Cane and Rinse No.600
Q: Rich, what's your history with Demon's Souls 2020 and indeed the original of you?
I played Demon's Souls in the summer of 2009, and it was an alien experience, but I played it out of spite to show my friend I could do it when he couldn't.
Demon’s Souls – Cane and Rinse No.600
Q: Did you manage to get a PS5 at launch, is my next question, and therefore buy the game at launch?
Yes, I got not one but three PlayStation 5s at launch.
