  • There's ACTUALLY a lot of lore in The Sims.
    Mar 2 2021

    Looks like our favorite on-again off-again couple is back on. Movies and Video Games, will you ever learn to make it work? We sure hope so. And we think you've got a chance at it this time.

    This week, Jesse and Alex talk about all of the upcoming video game movie adaptations and pitch a few ideas of their own. Jesse makes a prediction about the Grand Theft Auto series. And we get the rundown on the games that have taken up most of his and Alex's free time this week.

    It's the crossover event you've all been waiting for! Our Night Shift Radio siblings, The Superpodherocast, invited Shift Alt and the rest of the network to participate in this Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World extravaganza! So we've got a little bonus episode for you with Producer Andrea, who talks a little bit about the LGBTQIA+ characters in the film and then reviews Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World: The Game - Complete Edition, which was released just last month.

    You can also listen to Caleb and Kitzy review the iconic soundtrack over at Left of the Dial, hear Michael Fight do some good goofs over at Fight Jokes About Everything, and, of course, check out The Superpodherocast's review of the movie. They're all wonderful. Like, subscribe, become best friends.

  • I'm Always Aching for Something . . . Usually It's Games
    Feb 2 2021

    This week we're talking stocks, supply shortages, and some games we're playing that don't start with the letter "s".

    Here's the link to the Twitter thread explaining the Gamestop debacle with a helpful Target analogy!

  • Unpacking the Fu€K#ry
    Jan 11 2021

    This week we talk our top games of 2020, our hopes for 2021, and the insurrection of the United States Government.

    This one starts out kind of intense. We recorded this at the end of last week, and we had a lot that couldn't go left unsaid. If you want to avoid discussions of the insurrection on the Capitol by white supremacists, you'll want to skip to minute thirteen.

  • Upload Me to the Cloud
    Dec 31 2020

    Our beloved Jesse is out this week having his wisdom teeth replaced with a computer or something. We're using this time to get our producer Andrea (@AQWasTaken) on the mic to put her English degree to the test and talk post and transhuman themes in Cyberpunk2077.

    You can read Donna Harway's "A Cyborg Manifesto" in full here.

  • Cybertwunk 2077
    Dec 22 2020

    Cyberpunk 2077 is having a rough go of it, and since we last talked with y'all, Sony's pulled it from the PlayStation Store and is offering refunds. And yes, the game has issues. Some of which, we've already talked about. Some, we could not have anticipated. We're talking the highs and lows of playing Cyberpunk 2077 so far.

  • Cyberpunk 2077 Is Here . . . But Is It really?
    Dec 21 2020

    CW: We talk a lot about genitals in Cyberpunk 2077 in this one. If you want to avoid that conversation, you'll want to skip ahead starting at about 00:17:00 (Alex will pop in to let you know when it's time to scrub ahead), and you can jump back in with us at 00:25:10.

    We're bringing you this episode from a distant, more hopeful past: an entire week ago, when Cyberpunk 2077 was brand new, and we'd barely left the character creator. We've definitely got more to say now that we're a few more hours into the game, and we'll have that conversation with you in our regular weekly episode, but we wanted to share our early thoughts, too. It's been a journey already, folks. We also talk about The Game Awards.!

    Here's the video Producer Andrea (@AQWasTaken) promised she'd put in the notes for y'all.

    "Welcome to My Home, Pt. 2"

    CW: genitalia, diet, body image.
