Matt, basically Ambulls are Umberhulks in space.

Commenting on the question about favorite Star Wars names, my favorite one is "Juno Eclipse" from Force Unleashed. Dunno why, I just think it's like the archetypal sci-fi name.

Now am looking forward intently to new cryptid podcast! All the hype!

I was not expecting a discussion of Leto II's gross protuberance.

I just wish more far cry games had cool off-the-wall animals like blood dragons or yetis. Those are just total crazy things to spice up a setting and make me intrigued to learn more about how these unnatural things fit into the world of the games.

Far Cry 3 exposed us to the horrifying world of "what if cassowaries were carnivorous and hunted in packs." In the real world they're critically endangered and mostly timid.

Bricks are for rubbing.

@Snipe, as a fellow "easily distracted" student I think we'd all enjoy a report card retrospective. 👍

[@AndrewMcColl]

I always wondered if they included that 'naming' scene in Solo as a reference to how Don Corleone got his surname in The Godfather Pt 2.

I am here for Snipe's disruptive influence

[@grantboardman7880]

Do you guys video this podcast? B/c I'd love to 'see' the mayhem.

[@alisonpurgatory85]

Does Boltgun have any satire or critique of fascism in it? You mention a lot of 'old 40k' stuff it has in like enemies and scenery, but what about old 40k's politics? Might be a bit cynical to say but so far it just sounds like a nostalgia cash in. No matter the tone, we have enough 'have fun as fascist soldier shooting othered stereotypes' games, disturbing in themselves that they exist. Like the first Space Marine. Never understood why that was so lauded. It's very uncritical of the Imperium and heroic and glorifying of marines.

[@OpalisPissed]

Boltgun is really light on the faschism of the Imperium. Your character spouts really fucked up faschy catchphrases, but it does not question your motives as you just fight against demons and that the place the demons have overrun was already incredibly shitty is easy to overlook. I'd say taken on it's own without the surrounding 40k text, it is very much just Doom: You are human, they are demons from hell. Kill them all! I'd say Darktide represents the faschist believes of the Imperium way better by really depicting imperial indoctrination and making it clear that everything was already fucked up before the demons came and made things even more fucked up.
