[@charoleawood]

You even got the accent marks in the titles! Above and beyond.

[@ken-ip4ih]

Good stuff

[@aboredburrito5010]

Asura’s Wrath is a great call from Blood since Asura’s main ordeal about raging against the heavens is very much similar to the early section of Journey to the West, if not directly inspired by Wukong’s rebellion which was only prevented by the Buddha who pressed them under a mountain with their palm. That’s clearly referenced early on in the Wyzen fight.

[@AlexanderArts]

2:32:40 - Thanks for playing Lost In Translation!~

[@civenful]

you are welcome - blood

[@milesdyson7429]

It's great to have Isla, Gabby or Don on the desk more often, and shoutout to everyone for directing questions at Damiani so he can participate easier. Bloodworth is still going a great job running the podcast, just a small suggestion to replace a few uh's with pauses if possible.

[@onelead]

Indeed but they interrupted each other to much in the beginning

[@xlyesterdaylx]

I wish we could have Don on the podcast more often.

[@knightlife22]

CONGRATS Isla on working with the BET Awards. We didn’t miss that, that’s fire! 🔥🔥🔥

[@echobay2023]

I NEED to you guys doing a group stream of Indika. It such an odd quirky game thats just made for watching along with.

[@ahorserunning]

Loved that game! It has to be the most russian video game I have ever played, and I’ve played Stalker. Surprisingly funny too, albeit in the strangest and darkest way

[@joerosas8938]

Early episodes let’s gooooooo

[@shifting_tides]

Seeing some Legend of Mana references in the Visions trailer. Hype level building

[@rebornl]

Its Sunday already?

[@ssjduelistDD]

I thought it was for a sec

[@Emulcool]

i'm SO HAPPY vision of mana is NOT coming to switch. i wanted a proper HD Mana game with full features for a long time and trials remake was a step in the right direction but that game being on switch would have lowered the scope. maybe switch 2 later but let me have my HD new mana game.

[@mattlandry]

I'm just about to finish lies of P now and Huber is right! Maybe not 10/10 but I give it a solid 9.3 baby

[@Echo__plex]

Yes Lies of P is incredible

[@zacarybruner2600]

Screw all of you. Lollipop Chainsaw was awesome.

[@OrangeLightning]

First time I've ever had beef with Huber. Just because Juliet isn't cosplayed like 2B doesn't mean the game doesn't have a cult following. I also hate the idea that it's "outdated" because the main character is sexualized when the narrative is a reversal of games of that period, have the sexualized female protagonist is the one with the agency while her boyfriend is literally objectified as a decapitated head attached to her waist. The game is written by James Gunn for god sakes!

[@tcg2717]

Wait FF14: Don Trail?!

[@shifting_tides]

1:46:20 Was not expecting the Corduroy memory unlock

[@sebastianvonp1467]

Don't Skip: Nine Sols

[@ubersoldat91]

As a lapsed SMITE player, I really appreciate Huber's Hype around SMITE2 and keeping it on my radar.

[@alexanderlopatin3727]

Love the Don shwing!

[@_FILMBuFF_]

Yesss

[@RomanGaluk]

Gamescom Opening Night Live 2024 coming to August 20

[@TakeTheLeepx]

I was like, hey I know that Shadow of the Ninja game but not the title? Looked it up, was called Blue Shadow here in Europe, loved that game :).

[@TakeTheLeepx]

2:27:19 Thanks Don for giving a shout out to Rise of the Tomb Raider! I always love snow levels, and after the new Tomb Raider going to Rise of the TR in the snow... man, such a treat!

[@naysgameopinions]

I got to play Riven in VR and Isla is absolutely right. When the characters run up on you it's so freaky! Haha. That part with Catherine got me pretty good.

[@GavinUK_86]

Huber bashing that russian hardbass again lol

[@NickBLeaveIt]

Correction: Don didn't say his Fizzle. It's Don, so I suspect he has a different pick than Funko Fusion.

[@Mangoverboard1]

Premium Rush rules

[@sirmel11]

Romancing Saga was not part of Summer Game Fest.

[@timolampe]

Cat Quest 1 and 2 are free on PS Plus' middle tier. Love it!

[@DeepVoiceKam]

Wukong is easily my most anticipated.

[@nintendad8168]

omg i love the sound of the armor in souls games

[@timolampe]

Damiani has to work in the morning? What does he do?

[@Hozasaru]

Reddit mod

[@Badalight]

You did EDF 6 dirty.

[@keEpitReal331]

What happened to reaction shots btw ??

[@PateOfCourse]

It's on its own KZbin channel and Patreon. ( @RSMoviePodcast )

[@keEpitReal331]

​@@PateOfCoursethanks for the reply, never would have found it on my own!

[@josesolis1319]

TLOU factions died for Concord

[@Hozasaru]

They’ll most likely repurpose it for TLOU3.

[@ronsil6815]

visions of mana sizzlin

[@charoleawood]

47:24 Somebody tell isla to play The Gunk. Not being familiar with Steamworld myself i yet recommend The Gunk. i think The Gunk is an excellent game from the SteamWorld devs --- given isla's penchant for puzzle solving and platforming it should be right up her alley. i found the puzzle solving satisfying and the story touching.

[@antivanti]

Oh.... imagine Asura's Wrath remake with modern realistic graphics. I love the anime style of that game and it matches absolute the over the top style of the game but imagine with super realistic modern graphics...

[@blakeandcamp]

Anger Foot doesn't strike me as a 7/10, but the music in the demo definitely sucks. Absolutely nothing to it.

[@charoleawood]

1:28:48 A surprisingly compelling thriller with some bad cheese and worse music.

[@Dan-hz4vf]

its funny that HD2 expected 10k players DAU and these guys thought it wouldn't do well either. It looked, from showings, like a typical horde mode game, they're lying here about thinking it had some unique proposition prior to it being available publicly. Also, The Finals does NOT have the same vibe at all, feels like they don't understand MP games.

[@anthonydevetis7221]

No enotria or epic mickey?

[@EasyAllies]

Enotria is in there. Mickey's date wasn't announced until after we recorded the episode. -Bloodworth

[@Wavychula]

ISLA BET AWARDS is hard!!!!!

[@charoleawood]

11:44 CORRECTION Hook is NOT an unnecessarily high budget flick, every penny spent is on that screen, flick is a TEN OUTTA TEEEAAAN.

[@shifting_tides]

Need an Isla/Omar playthrough of Riven

[@daytonablue2041]

After watching the previews of Concord I’m excited for it. They’re having an open beta I think which could help. The story aspect looks good as well and the fact that it isn’t free to play and won’t have all the free to play BS has me interested.
