FLAVOR TEXT: Bomberman

in , , , ,

An artificial life form created to perform menial labor one day becomes sentient and embarks on a journey to free themselves from their oppression. To do so, they must do the impossible: Escape to the surface world and become human. Only then will they be completely free. You may think to yourself: Why are we talking about the plot to 2018's Detroit: Become Human? And our response to you would be, oh no this isn't Quantic Dream's cinematic masterpiece...this is Bomberman, baby!

Episode 71: Use Promo Code "Stygian" at Checkout

in , , ,

Late last night, Matt was pulling a late night at the ol' DT Exclamation Point HQ, and he did that thing in movies where he stepped out of a steamy shower and looked at himself in the mirror and wiped away the fog on the glass to see a SPOOKY THING behind him. Yeah, so our fake office is haunted or whatever...this seems to be as good a time as any to talk in excruciating detail about the Pac-Man ghosts. Welcome to 2021, nerds.

Episode 51: The Myst Was Inside of Us the Whole Time (ft. Nathan Norman Brandt and Kam Konek)

in , , ,

Get ready to get Fully Immersed. If there is one thing that we love to do here at DT! HQ, it's reboot old shit that nobody asked for. And so it stands to reason that VR games were bound to eventually get that treatment. Excited to get an 1800s-era poop disease in Oregon Trail VR? Or how about experiencing a lifelike barrel roll in Starfox 64 3? No? Well then maybe reading low-poly books in a new Myst game? Driving a mech in a first-person Armored Core sequel? OK yeah, that last one actually sounds pretty rad.
