ENA: Dream BBQ (2025): Is ENA A Person?
Infinite Cities
In what might be our most surreal entry into the entire podcast feed, we're here to talk about ENA, an animation project only familiar to half of the team and perhaps only enjoyed by half the team as well. Stay tuned! in this episode: angry and grindset, a lot of areas, a peruvian avant-garde animated comedy series, bless you for your business, fanstuck, everyday ena, the purge event, feather went digging, it's the video game, dance party, froggering, the "good" ending, unforgiven frank, extra virgin girl, the rocks ~shoutout zone~

Outward (2022): Should We Just Have Played Kenshi?
Infinite Cities
There's something special about an open-world game developed by a small team with grand ambitions. You shouldn't expect AAA graphics or full voice acting, or even comprehensive menus, but there's innovation to be found. If you search long enough. Sorry, that's a bit mean. Outward is a good game with some annoying design decisions that makes the game difficult to get into. We'll tell you about it. In this episode: turmmip, Gep, continously somber, lotion candles, training away your thirst, mushroom halberd, fuck everyone in this town. ~~~ Our theme music is Glass Half Full by the...

Marathon (2026): This Silkworm Has A MILF Voice?
Infinite Cities
If the forces of industry ruin art, and this goes double for the games industry, then by the inverse failures are allowed the greatest artistic license. I'm not sure how Marathon came to exist like it does - someone somewhere made a series of bewildering, bizarre decisions - and then a whole team of people went about fucking cooking. Hopefully they'll be able to get to dessert, but if not, I can't say I'm not full already. In this episode: old macintoshes, bungo plz, extraction shooters, learning cliffs, gun feel good, freekits, the highest highs, PLAYER COUNT DISCOURSE, computer vision...

Despelote (2025): Do You Care About Your Country?
Infinite Cities
In 2002, Ecuador qualified for the world cup for the first time. This moment was so affecting, (future) game designer Julián Cordero became consious. This is a semi-autobiographical telling of those six wild months, and it works near flawlessly, transporting us back in time and across place. It's a wonder - but we've all kicked a ball around, and in this all humans are more alike than different. In this episode: liking sports, being eight, nationalistic pride, drone scans, google maps, very specific parks, baseball, California is the best country on earth. There are several...

Dread Delusion (2024): What's Wrong With These Islands?
Infinite Cities
Karp gets to indulge himself in his favourite type of game: exploring weird-ass spaces. Join us in turning over every rock and checking behind every mushroom in this immersive sim-like retro-throwback. In this episode: don't pick Charmander, neuron stars, setting the setting, money sink, lockpicking minigames, first-world problems, drawing a map. ~~~ Our theme music is Glass Half Full by the incredible Cliff, you can find him on Want to shout about the episode?

Scott Pilgrim EX (2026): Are Beat-Em-Ups The Original Friendslop?
Infinite Cities
CHOOSE YOUR CHARACTER: Feather: loud and flighty. Special move: a take so bad all enemies on screen have to engage. Karp: stable and strong. Special move: has already beaten the game, so he can skip ahead to when he already won the fight. Will: fast and has bonus reach. Special move: crashes a bike into enemies for massive damage, hurting them as well as himself (but not the bike!) Gary: fun and supportive. Special move: cooks bomb-ass pasta, healing everyone on screen. Enemies get healed, but also stunned as they try to schedule a new podcast (the more enemies, the longer the stun!) In this...

Slay the Spire (2019) - Are You Ready For The Sweat Zone?
Infinite Cities
For a game that is credited with popularizing the roguelike deckbuilder genre, Slay the Spire is surprisingly stripped down compared to everything that came after it. You build your deck, you fight monsters, you keep pushing onward. After our time with Inscryption and and Wildfrost, it almost feels strange going backwards to a game most of us have played, and half of us have beaten, before. This ep is a little all over the place, thanks daylight savings, because we're all sleepy and doing our best. Stick around for the post pod where Feather tells us about Marathon for nearly half an hour!...

Redout (2016): Is The Native American Style Chanting Bagpipe Dubstep Racist?
Infinite Cities
Gary's on the move so we take the chance to play something they absolutely loathe (/j): racing games. This is like an oasis in a WipEout-less world. In this episode: why did WipEout die, podracers, racing line, braking game, "one-and-a-half good games", ancient fox girl, "nightcar dubstep". ~Shoutout zone~ ~~~ Our theme music is Glass Half Full by the incredible Cliff, you can find him on Want to shout about the episode?

UNBEATABLE (2025): How Many Cars Do These Cops Have?
Infinite Cities
This is the best worst game we have played so far. What a glorious mess. In this episode: jank jank jank, ska, categorizing rhythm games, legibility issues, mapping left and right to up and down, peak, the sewer level, poco and apoco are here! posters, petty band drama, incoherence, conspiracies, homestuck. ~shoutouts zone~ ~~~ Our theme music is Glass Half Full by the incredible Cliff, you can find him on Want to shout about the episode?

Kentucky Route Zero (2013*) Part 2: Should You Go?
Infinite Cities
It's a mark of praise that KRZ so frequently ends up compared with our favorite narrative games -it it's in the same space as Disco Elysium, Citizen Sleeper, Night in the Woods. Just because it frequently comes off worse in those comparisons doesn't mean it's not secretly great. It's just tired, and all out of answers - and maybe that's the only way this story could be honest. In this episode: no bits, aging games, literally figuratively literally robots, midpoints and looking back, Xanadu is butts, getting to the point, getting off the boat, being irrational about animals, giant fucking...
info_outlineA little less than two years ago, the pod delved deep into the Hallownest, embracing the void in order to push back the Radiance. Now, we're returning to the bug life, weaving our thread of destiny throughout the kingdom of Pharloom. Will we accomplish our climb towards the Citadel, or fall prey to the innumerable bosses that stand in our way? Who knows! All we can really do is, in the words of our protag, git gud.
in this episode: hype levels, the run button, down slash supremacy, put hornet in smash, crests, tool use, bell beast, memory lockets, maps, the moment of regret, boss fights
