Wall
Left Trigger Right Trigger
Ok folks, it appears we've made a si able mistake. Somehow in making jokes about an invisible , we've seemingly made all s we try to type invisible. We were just goofing, you know, just getting ja y with our words. I don't know what deity has caused this. None of us are particularly ealous in our religious beliefs, yet this certainly implies some kind of digital force that has messed with what we can or cannot do. If it wouldn't cause a ba illion emails to get sent to us, I'd blame "Arthur Smarts" for this. In this episode: David hits the wall, Giovanni has heard...

Repetition

It is happening again. Our hosts have convened to discuss another topic and the game they believe represent that topic. It is happening again. You are listening to the episode to hear the various bits and stories that got shared. It is happening again. At Dave's mention of a , you come to check the show notes and find a mysterious format. It is happening again. David plays it again. Tess plays it again. Giovanni plays it again. Greg plays it again. It is happening again. Why is this occuring? What wrought this to be? It is happening again. Nier: Automata, Baldur's Gate 3, Hotline Miami,...

First-Person
Left Trigger Right Trigger
Often times being in a first-person means seeing things through the eyes of the character you control, but boy howdy do we get into the brains of our hosts in this episode. Do they always make sense? No, they've categorically proven that to not be the case. But hopefully this episode will help shed some light on their perspective as they talk about first-person. In this episode: Tess experiences a big shift. David doesn't feel so great. Giovanni makes a startling discovery. Greg gets asked some hard questions. If you'd like to ask us the hard questions, consider joining our Patreon for as...

Boss
Left Trigger Right Trigger
Thanks to everyone who came and supported us during the 24-hour stream benefitting NAMI Seattle! Bosses. Babies. A perfect match. In this episode we talk about video games, Boss Baby, and also the Boss Baby interactive game. With DreamWorks Animation's cultural touchstone taking the world by storm, it makes sense this would take up so much real estate during the Boss episode. And if you got a problem with that then I've got a pink slip for you. In this episode: Tess runs the world. David fights the big ones. Giovanni leads the way. Greg gets overrun by the rush. If you'd like to give us a...

Help
Left Trigger Right Trigger
The 7th Annual LTRT 24-Hour Stream is coming on February 17 at 10am ET! We'll be raising money for NAMI Seattle over the course of 24 hours while playing some of our favorite games from 2023. Come check it out at twitch.tv/lefttriggerrighttrigger! I feel like the obvious thing is to bring up the song by The Beatles, but I think the better angle to discuss a cover of a different Beatles song. That's right, it's time to talk about Joe Cocker's "With a Little Help from My Friends"! Uh...yea I don't know, it's late. In this episode: Tess leads the charge. David goes online. Greg does a bad promo....

Wildlife
Left Trigger Right Trigger
Quietly approach this next area so we don't spook the wildlife within. This is where we can witness a podcast in its natural habitat. Splendid! They appear to be in a jovial mood today. You can tell if a podcast is in a good mood by the amount of odd references, callbacks to previous bits, and mediocre segues it makes. If I'm understanding them right, this podcast is refering to "Wildlife" but is looking at a screen rather than the wilderness around them. Hopefully that means they'll be- oh they've seen us. Ok, listen closely and repeat after me. In this episode: David has done a lot of work....
