We are finally back to playing Dungeons and Dragons!!! WOO!!
This week Karol finally finished editing ep 2 of our Adventure- So its finally out for you all to enjoy.
But what is this you ask? Well with me as a DM, its about Amor (Fredrik) our elven rouge who sets forth to Rothe River in for news of gems with untold powers. What seemed as an easy job exterminating local beasts though quickly spirals out, and only thanks to her dragon companion Voltar she lives to tell the tale.
Its fun, its silly and you get to hear me do a bunch of voices. And Fredrik does a great job as an off beat snobby elf!
ALSO!
Our thanks to:
kasoon.com - for the adventure! At this point its derailed (because of what happened in the last episode ) but its great for anyone to try with a pal. I was afraid of balancing encounters for one PC only, hence why the decision to follow this outline.
Thanks to @gaylactic-fire for allowing us to use their picrew Baby Dragon Maker for Voltar. I sadly lack artistic talent to draw a dragon, but now he is so cute. Thank you!
And at last: a youtube version with visuals, maps and puzzles. This time by me.
Has anyone done this yet.
Bonus bc i couldn't decide which quadrant was funniest to put him in:
Good day Kens and Barbies and Alans! I've finally figured out how to embed podcasts into the post aahaha
Anyway today we talk about the summer extravaganza that was the Barbie movie. From sneak peeks to announcements, casting choices and plot, to all the promotional goodies that were released before and after the movie.
Why yes it is a smash and pass episode, but with a twist!
Given the relationship building nature of the game, Fredrik decided to throw in a challenge where we try to pair off characters and give our reasons behind them. Its especially fun given how we clash on some of each others pairs.
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality the orchestra
On today's menu, the original Fantasia all the way back from 1940. Frankly its good! Disney put their whole disnussy into making each segment disctinct and visually interesting.
But how do they fare against each other?
Don't get me wrong, the segments are each their own thing, but with a runtime of 2h there is only so much attention you can hold. The orchestra is phenomenal and will also lull you into sleep (or trance state which honestly might have been the intention as well?) So what shoul you be awake for?
There are bound to be some hits and misses (Sorcerers Apprentice being quite good even today) so lets go through them all.
I would have also included a gif of my best boy Sountrack, but you can guess how hard is to google for him. He is in my heart at least
So today we sat down and tried to discuss our new years resolutions. Turns out - You aren't legally required to do any of that lmao, at least according to Fredrik.
I think i have to agree with him, even if each year i worry about all the things i would like to change in my life. Its ok to want change, but accepting yourself might be a much better and kinder alternative. That and we also want to go kayaking.
Want more context? Then listen to the episode you nosy nosy you!
Also, this one ep. might be more on a personal side, as probably not the best idea to vent your insecurities on air. But! I think you can kinda see how both of us operate when the topic at hand a tad more serious.
I guess New year resolutions kinda have that vibe to them, you look at yourself and its easy to see yourself in a negative light. Well.. what can you do? hahaha.
With 2023 drawing to a close, We wanted to wish you all the happiness and luck in the upocoming year, and to thank all our listeners for sticking with us througout the year.
Happy New Year 2024!!
oh and of course, a link to youtube for a version with slides!
the new contrapoints video is just *mwah* chefs kiss. And to think Twilight my beloved started it
Jack it into my veins babyy!!!!
This site: What the fuck is with all these animated shows getting terrible live-action remakes? We should start remaking live action media as cartoons to balance the scales.
The monkey's paw: *curls one finger*
From Cozy Games Direct and Future of Play, to X-box Showcase and PC Gaming Show, everyone from big and small has indeed been informed about summer, and that there are games to be had durning it STAT.
And whew there were alot of announcements, just look at the website.
In our usual fashion it would too long to list every single game that was mentioned, so instead what of the games that looked really hecking cool?
Fredriks choice: SCHiM (by Ewoud van der Werf and Nils Slijkerman)
You play as a silly creature, hopping and puzzling thorugh shadows in a city. Human shadows, car shadows lamps shadows, anything is permitted. And it looks great to boot! Its coming out this year july for all Major consoles + Steam.
Karols choice Battle Suit Aces (by Trinket Studios)
Cooked up by the same developers as Battle Chef Academy (great game give it a go), this sci-fi card battler has style, worldbuilding and even features relationships with your crew! Not the genre im usually into but i believe in these devs. Release is TBD as of yet.
And our shared pick would be Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (by Sandfall Interactive)
Ever since the Paintress arrived, each year she paints a new number: 35..34...33. As she counts down people of that age vanish never to be seen again. Its up to our epxedition (the 33) to give a shot at stopping the paintress in their final year of life. RPG with QTE's in a wonderfully parisian inspired world. Also what a cool premise! To be released sometime in 2025.
We actually picked more games, but for that you would have been a long list.
You have to check rest of the episode for that ;) ta-ta for now!
