This week, we go blithely off the rails in a hurmorless and scathing long-form boozy supposition-ridden tirade concerning how "Meet Your Maker" developer, Behaviour Interactive (of "Dead By Daylight" fame), might have managed to rebalance their latest offering into oblivion. Also on this week's menu: curved monitors, "Boltgun," and the surprisingly working "Starship Troopers: Extermination." DO YOUR PART! PLEASE: Help the people of Ukraine!

AI4ALL. Website to follow shortly. This is my rough pitch; refinement is needed, but this is the whole deal. Hit me up @vegaswriter if you want to talk. It is time we gather and ensure this transformational tech isn’t withheld by the hands of the few who will ravenously distort it and enslave us all in the process. Cheers.

Thought it would never come to this but here we are, back again. Suck it. Next week? I unveil EXCALIBUR.

Emergency episode of the podcast as we are without a computer. Please blame Ivor. Listen in for our frustrated thoughts on “Dredge,” and the ongoing saga of why/when we might have a computer again in the studio. All this and MOAR,.,,

As promised, we return this week with a "what it feels like" feature of the excellent "Meet Your Maker," a game that will make you addicted to your own death, and horny for the deaths of those who would seek to do unto you as you have done unto them.
