Bits And Flicks

[[:encoded, "Welcome to Bits, the podcast made for gamers by gamers. We are fairly light on new releases and announcements with only some \nquick words on the new update to Stardew Valley that now supports divorce, the makers of the indie game Firewatch becoming filmmakers and Sony's half-assed attempt at supporting mods, but we make up for that lost time with plenty to talk about with what we've been playing. I kick things off with my thoughts on the 2011 Halloween themed RPG Costume Quest as well as my impressions on the new Outlast 2 demo that just got released. Then things get real when Madcap starts talking about the PC version of Kingdom Rush: Frontiers where after a surprising revelation leaves him dumbfounded."]]

[[:encoded, "Welcome to Bits, the podcast made for gamers by gamers. For this episode we cover the free games on PSN and Xbox Live for the \nmonth of September. Both releases and news were a bit slim this episode but still had a lot to say about Sony's recent PSN price hike and the many pervy possibilites that the upcoming Virtual Reality Dead or Alive Extreme game could bring with it. As for what we have been playing it was all fairly light with some more No Man's Sky talk in regards to the controversies surrounding it and my own personal hatred of its mapping system as well as some thoughts on the recent Titanfall 2 tech test and Madcap's continued frustrations over the Legend of Zelda Oracle of Seasons."]]

[[:encoded, "Hello and welcome to another episode of Now Showing! For this episode we take flight with the third entry into the J.J. Abrams reboot franchise, Star Trek Beyond. While all the initial trailers and marketing for the film left quite the sour taste in our mouths, both Jake and myself came away pleasantly surprised with this new Trek. Although it isn't the Star Trek many long time fans were wishing for and there are still plenty of things to complain about (which we do quite a lot of), we believe both old and new fans alike should come away pleased. Be sure to hear what we had to say before heading out to where no one has gone before."]]

[[:encoded, "Hello and welcome to another episode of Now Showing! For this episode we look at the film whose trailer has received a record number of negative votes and an even more confounding number of people willing to write it off before ever seeing it. That's right, it is time to review the new Ghostbusters film. While it certainly isn't as bad as those trailers made it out to be the new film from Bridesmaids director Paul Fieg does ultimately pale in comparison to the original. But if you are surprised by that then don't even bother with this review and go watch the original again then get back to me."]]
