Bad Playstyle: A video game book club

Hey, fellow videogame player. Play the videogames however you want
to. Have fun. There is a bit of room to be frustrated bcuz triumph.
Chill out and have fun though
Civvie 11 is a good youtuber, and entertaining
December is a nightmare. Fuck you it’s January
Quit beating the game too fast. Relax.
Divinity 2 is a good game with a pretty bland narrative. I think
because it can go in so many directions. Like its too much not on
rails if that makes sense?
Payday 2 is so damn good. Do more virtual crimes with your friends.
The failure state of an action in your videogame should be fun as
well.
Sometimes companies just make one game
Screaming pyre tournament was a rousing success
Parental optics of video games discussion
Warframe? Crabs?
Endless fire for days in divinity 2
Owen fought a gigantic electric bubble on mars. It did not work out
Darkening of tristram event is dibble3
Excellent halo joke incoming
FNV starts. Gamebryo engine sucks.
Westside sucks and feels like busted ass F3 content
Keynans mad. You tell me why
You don’t have ammo problems if you just hit stuff with a baseball
bat
We talk about builds
Boone-kun 4 eva
We all had wildly different experiences with fights based on our
equipment choices
Owen makes the fine points about the DLCS. they are incredible
experiences IMO though.
We discuss some of the factions
Chief hanlon is bae
Westcoast fallout is bestcoast fallout. The east coast would be
radioactive vapor
Vault 22 vexes me
The trader is Caesar's legion is a cool npc
The fucking garbage textures OMG
Warwar neverchanges
Radio makes it different. This is gritty wasteland
My beef with josh sawyers armor systems
Vats is a fucking bandaid
We played basically vanilla, no mods
We change the not real game awards but it doesn’t matter
bethesda, cmon
Fuck you randy pitchford. You can do better
Cannibal johnson don’t give those tribals that minigun
Black doctrine seems like a cool idea that i can never get into
The game needs to not fall apart the instant you see any given NPC if
you kill them
FFT and pokemon need to bang. BUT GOOD THIS TIME
Fuck you it’s january?
Sam fisha versus
Lord of vegas

Previous Episode

End of year drinking game 2018

Sorry about chair noises and muffled audio. there were a lot of logistics involved here. the rankings here reflect a few things: Keynan takes risks with his picks, Matts favorite games are all long enough it would be rude to pick them for podcast, and Owen plays the hits

Next Episode

Ep 39 - Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice “other people’s gods”

We Ramble off excuses
Owen loves legos/ power rangers
Star trek timelines keeps dragging owen back in, kind of.
DIABLO 3 was back with a vengeance for a minute there.
Games should be marketed towards being veg-out titles
Heroes of the storm RIP. thanks activision
Skyrim requiem is really good! You should try it. It takes forever to
install though.
Heat signature has hot new enemy types. Fuck the predator forever.
Stealth rocks: good for the meta. Bad for fun.
Diablo: is if grimdark anymore? Hellblade teaches us that it is not.
Matt summarizes hellblade.
Matt sometimes picks frustrating video games
Other people’s gods
The entire world is a visual metaphor for what is happening
psychologically.
We all played with headphones in like good little boys
CW: abuse, trauma, death, dismemberment.
We took long breaks between sessions.
The best game I ever hated
Everything is bespoke. There are downsides to this
The game is supposed to be frustrating, I think (massive eyeroll from
my cohorts)
Keynan asserts that the game never layer cakes its mechanics properly
Gramr is a way good short.
Puzzle elements never get stacked or changed, they just get replaced.
OMG i fucked up the first rune puzzle so hard. Took me ten minutes to
find it.
The voices never lie to you. They say mean shit. But they never lie.
This game achieved parkour flow for me at certain points
Thoroughly enjoyed it but I will never play it again.
Visual metaphor ending, folks
The extra “ending” scene revealed
Portrays and inflicts trauma
Keynan says the game is underbaked. I disagree.
Blindness section “No, they’ll kill you”
Booty clenching dark water section
The fenris section tested my immersion and owens will to play the
game
This game is visually amazing “actual FMV”
Video games as art discussion
Fine art. Vs art. Award shows are stupid bullshit
Humans want to win, but only by the skin of their teeth
Everything is performance
Matt poorly explains the “tall wales” ck2 strat poorly
All matt all the time, you’re excited
Sam loses
