"Questions about whose hands might one day hold my Myst Book are unsettling to me.” After 30 years, we release Chris, James, Jesse and Jon from their exile in D’ni. As they step, blinking and nervous, into the light, they find themselves on a strange island. This wonderful place is a gateway to puzzling worlds of history, influence, and mystery. Join us for a walk around the first of Cyan’s signature franchise: join us on Myst. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_582.mp3 Music featured in this issue:1.

“The Belmont family has a long history of Vampire Hunters.” In our latest Castlevania show we land At Konami's second attempt at bringing the full-fat horror platformer experience to handheld in Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge. Leon, Brian, Jon, Leah and listener contributors find a slightly yet significantly upgraded protagonist - and one who can now even use axes and holy water - in this assault on Dracula's real estate portfolio. Special praise is doled out for a remarkable 8-bit soundtrack, though significant ire is reserved for an especially tough final showdown. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_576.mp3 Music featured in this issue:1.

“If we don't all come together again, humanity will not survive.” In a genre-defying podcast, we bend at the knees and keep our backs straight in order to deliver our take on Hideo Kojima's first post-Konami game, Death Stranding. Leon, Brian, Leah and a swathe of correspondents (with wildly differing opinions), get into the loopy lore and many mechanics of this unusual, intriguing and divisive title. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_497.mp3 Music featured in this podcast:1.
