That's right, folks! It's time for another big show, and Tom Towers and Phil Fogg do not disappoint; coming in at almost 3 and a half hours!
But over those 3 and a half hours they keep things moving with aural reviews and impressions of Hotline Miami, The Walking Dead: 400 Days and Bioshock 2.
But what's a big show without features? Not a problem, what about a full blown spoilercast (within a podcast no less!) of The Walking Dead Season 1, and a discussion on the topic of synaesthesia being erroneously used as a gaming aesthetic.
They even remember to do the news! Speaking on Atlus, the July NPD, and Tom's humorous failure to interview Cryptic Studios COO, Craig Zinkievich
The Humble Walking Dead 10th Anniversary Bundle just launched today. It includes games and DLC from the famous TellTale adventure game franchise.
Do you like hurting other people? Ten years later, it's probably the music that drove you to it, let's be honest.
One of the most popular video game franchises of all time is set to receive a Netflix film adaptation, according to an announcement on Tuesday afternoon.
Gee...can't wait to see how many things they change and stray away from, oh don't forget the miscast actors
I have such high hopes because the first game is so near and dear to me. That being said, I'm sure they will mess it up. I'm hoping it's adult rated, and violent. I want to see a Big Daddy put that drill to good use :P
They're great at butchering stuff but there have also been some gems and surprises.
I never in my life thought I'd like a series based on League of Legends but it was pretty great.
Maybe just maybe they'll do Bioshock justice.
Priority checklist
- Pander to POC
- Pander to woman
- Pander to LGBTQ
- Story
In that order
Damn! It sure sucks when white men aren't the sole focus of everything! Why can't these fringe groups be kept on the fringes like the good ole days?!? /s
Netflix did well with Dare Devil and the Punisher and I hear the Witcher is pretty good I know when I had Netflix at the time Stranger Things was also good. But Bioshock I love the franchise Bioshock Infinite is my favorite game I would pay the $21 Canadian just to check out Bioshock. Normally I would never renew my Netflix after they did their price hike but Bioshock would be worth it.
When firing on all cinders, Netflix do produce some brilliant stuff so I am not feeling pessimistic at all here. If Netflix deliver to their potential then this could be incredible given the quality of the source material. Personally, I am quite excited.
Agreed, Netflix originals etc are fantastic in general, it's rare I don't like something they do.
Certainly not feeling negative with Netflix doing bioshock quite the opposite infact.
Bu bu bu bu but what about Cowboy Beebop though? That was a little miss opportunity. Just a little nervous that Bioshock could turn to crap 💩 like that show. If they do a Horizon Zero Dawn show, I hope they don’t screw that up as well. I know a few good actresses that could play Aloy like Jon Snow’s girlfriend from Game of Thrones, and his wife in real life. Definitely see Aloy in her.
Netflix does a lot of great things, recently finished the first season of Arcane and it was brilliant.
Arkane was so damn good.
I just hope they keep up the quality with later releases.
I'm not even a LoL player.
I’m sure they will, I don’t play the games either, I love the fact that I didn’t need to play them to enjoy it.
Arcane was insanely good imo, I was hooked almost all the way. Im not sure of this but i think Netflix didnt have much to do with the production of the show? More like they just bought the rights to have it exclusively on there?
Some of their original shows are really good so im quite hopeful this might turn out to be a good show. Lets hope they wont F it up.
Love Bioshock but I'll prepare myself for the likelihood this will be both crap and a pale imitation of the source material. That covers most video game adaptations and Netflix films.
I meant Netflix films in general, there are some good ones but most are average at best in my experience. Castlevania is good but I didn't like The Witcher, although it is successful.
Not sure if there are any live action video game film adaptations on Netflix as yet but they don't have a great track record.

For movies, I think it’s very difficult to cram he narrative from a 10+ hour game into 2 hours. I think that’s why series are much better suited for video game adaptations. Seems we have a bunch coming up, so we’ll see how well it plays out.
