hellojed My Satantango of videogames might be The Long Drive, a game where I have spent about 8 hours driving nowhere, and yet I cannot stop
rejj yeso be fooled not, Dear Reader; this is but one small part of a year(s)-long strategy to turn the topic of all conversation to Pathologic 2. (Or be fooled! And come along for the ride!)

yeso rejj in my defense, it’s an apt response to the prompt and also I waited a full hour after this thread was posted before replying. Didnt want to be the first post but I had no choice… …. $9.79 usd right now at gog ! https://www.gog.com/game/pathologic_2
DaveedNoo If we’re going Russian for the Anna Karenina of games, I’m going Ringo Ishikawa. I think it even has Anna Karenina in it.
KingTubb Frank played hollow knight with a fight stick, we’re kindred spirits. It’s not ideal, but I spent time and money putting that stick together, and I was gonna use it on any game that didn’t need a right stick, dammit
Jaffe Spoiler Alert: If it turns out we don’t have time for the Console Ranking this week either, the plan is to do “The Dirtbag of Podcasts, Part II.” We’ve still got 21 more of these to get through.
Jaffe The part seven minutes in where I call Bob Dylan getting the Nobel Prize a “travesty” is an in-joke just for my mom, who does listen to the show every week, when her friend’s kind-of pretentious son described it as such
rootfifthoctave dang it, i went and searched for that videoball pic on instagram like some stalker weirdo and now i see you guys have linked it!
esper rootfifthoctave don’t worry, I already searched tim’s instagram like a weirdo for you. sabertoothalex that actually was my immediate response too, lol
sabertoothalex the Shake Shack of video games is Killzone because they went super hard at the HALO KILLER moniker and extremely did not even come close to earning it btw they opened Shake Shack in SF and the peninsula some time ago and just plopped one into downtown Oakland….I haven’t been to that one yet. The burger wars are miserable. Who cares
exodus sabertoothalex good choice for shake shack of video games and also good choice for whether the burger wars are interesting (they are not)
Alyx I sure do like Bela Tarr and Battletoads. OG Battletoads is real good but kinda long for what it is, maybe Battletoads is the Satantango of video games.
Alyx For anyone unfamiliar don’t start with either of those, instead watch The Turin Horse and play Battletoads in Battlemaniacs
thebryanjzx90 Battletoads is great if you just put the game down and consider it beaten after the turbo tunnel. You did it you beat a really hard level and won the game! Don’t worry about the rest of it!
