MHG Podcast

With Bradigor still suffering from Covid, it's a shortish & sometimes icky chat but he and @Treble Alpha still manage to cover @ARKADE_VR's ARK-ADE, Jim @GamesRaskal's wonderful Ekstase, and @TomNullpointer's Into the Pit. Shownotes: 00:01:20 - Into the Pit 00:11:14 - Ekstase 00:21:28 - ARK-ADE 00:28:33 - MHG Chat - CW: physical illness detail

With his co-host unwell it's down to Stu to monoramble about games this week. There's more #UNSquadron, @enhance_exp's ubiquitous Tetris Effect: Connected, and @BlastmodeGames Mighty Goose, which is legit bananas. Get well soon, @bradigor! Shownotes: 00:01:19 - Tetris Effect: Connected 00:05:37 - UN Squadron 00:09:29 - Mighty Goose 00:13:47 - MHG Chat

Metroid Dread dominates the discussion, with the chaps picking-over Samus' latest adventure, but there's still room for Dolphin Blue (not aquatic p0rn, honest), @Draknek's Bonfire Peaks & the oddness that is @NickBrawlGame. On the subject of dominating dread, there is discussion around the sensitive subject of the big C. Shownotes: 00:04:10 - Dolphin Blue 00:09:14 - Bonfire Peaks 00:19:16 - Metroid Dread 00:36:05 - Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 00:46:01 - Tetris Effect: Connected 00:56:05 - MHG Chat

Stu takes to the skies with #UNSquadron (aka Area 88) then executes a bumpy landing with In Sound Mind (@insoundmindgame), whilst Brad gets Alan Woke (@alanwake) and discovers The Last Friend (@IGCollective). In MHG Chat, there is a serious but open discussion around (CW) self harm. Show notes: 00:02:07 - UN Squadron 00:06:54 - Alan Wake Remastered 00:14:06 - In Sound Mind 00:25:59 - The Last Friend 00:36:24 - Unmetal 00:46:54 - MHG Chat

It's a litigatin- and cussin-stravaganza this week. The chaps manage to discuss the #HaloInfinite flight, Tetragon (@TetragonGame) & El Shaddai Remaster(@ElShaddaiGame) in-between all the £^@& swearwords and calling [REDACTED] a p***o! Shownotes: 00:02:49 - Super Mario World 00:10:37 - Metal Slug First & Second Mission 00:17:44 - Halo Infinite: Multiplayer Flight 2 00:30:12 - Tetragon 00:37:32 - El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron 00:48:53 - MHG Chat

We debate good & poor design choices: @KitariaFables, @ThunderhorseCO's Flynn: Son of Crimson & @skatebirb's SkateBIRD are among those being evaluated. Plus once again, Brad takes his Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopez cosplay too far. n.b. apologies for audio quality this week. Stu has been beaten, and it won't happen again. Show notes: 00:01:24 - Deathloop 00:10:50 - Kitaria Fables 00:17:44 - SkateBird 00:28:41 - Flynn: Son of Crimson 00:33:07 - NBA 2K22 00:45:30 - MHG Chat

@Treble_Alpha is revealed as a filthy casual, playing @ArkaneStudios Deathloop, but @Bradigor keeps it real with @SWMGames Toem & @NakanaGames A Night at the races. Plus Dreamcast reminiscence, @Crytek discussion + more. Shownotes: 00:02:13 - Crysis 3 00:11:40 - Toem 00:18:36 - Dreamcast chat 00:26:18 - A Night at the Races 00:35:05 - Deathloop 00:49:37 - Tinytopia

On the podcast this week, the discussion around 'average' games is aired with @Treble_Alpha talking median & mode, but @bradigor definitely leaning on the 'mean'. Listen-in to find out what gets the thumbs up or down treatment out of @MereksMarket, #hellsarchitect, @Lake_The_Game and @InfiniteStates' Horatio Goes Snowboarding!

Celebrating the #Paralympics, @Bradgor & @Treble_Alpha discuss representation of disabled sport in games, and the heroism of @EllieRobinsonGB. There's also @DarkLordStudio Glitchpunk, #WRC10 & much more.

Grip your bongos tightly, @Treble_Alpha's talking about Donkey Konga 2. @Bradigor, on the other hand, retreats into his Deepest Chamber, tells his Garden Story & sows The Seed of Life.

Toys are thrown & dummies spat when the subject of game install sizes are raised & there's some merriment around the value (or otherwise) of @VRallyGame's V-Rally 4. The controversial @KitfoxGames Boyfriend Dungeon is picked over & @HYPERSTRANGE somehow avoid getting sued out of existence by @idSoftware with Jupiter Hell.

Finding out that @enhance_exp are porting Tetris Effect Connected to Switch sends @Bradigor a tad loopy. @Treble_Alpha manages to wrestle the convo back to the here-and-now with the likes of @SJGames Sorcery! & @TaitoCorp's Dariusburst Another Chronicle EX+

@Bradigor hasn't had the eye op, but he has still explored the likes of @DiceLegacy & @__hyperparadise The Ramp, whereas @Treble_Alpha has strapped on eye equipment (VR) & travelled to distant worlds in @RAD_Studios' Lone Echo.

Prep the microwave & watch that Granny doesn't go for a flight on the Stannah - the gremlins are here. Despite Stripe & his pals messing with the controls, there's great discussion on @NeonGiantGames The Ascent, @dinopoloclub Mini Motorways & a mysterious transmission from the past about Night Book... @Treble_Apha & @Bradigor also discuss the ActiBlizz state of affairs.

Stuffed full of gamey goodness this week, @Bradigor & @Treble_Alpha discuss (deep breath): Quake II RTX | @ATaleOfSynapse | @lizardcube Streets of Rage 4: Mr. X Nightmare DLC | @HungryCouchGame Black Skylands | Ys IX #MonstrumNox | @CrisTalesGame and @LouisDurrant The Garden Path Kickstarter. Phew.

MHG is as diverse in games as it is progressive in its politics. @Treb_Alpha & @Bradigor discuss the Euros & anti-racism, and a pick 'n' mix blend of Cloud Cutter, The World's End Club, Voidrun & much more.

On the edge of delirium, a sight-impaired Brad & patience-impaired Stu rant about the boak-inducing 'Freedom Day', leaving just enough room to talk #GuiltyGearStrive, @PhantomAbyss, and The Fermi Paradox | @FermiGame

There's a heady waft of Scott in the air, with Pilgrim-styled Indigo 7 in the mix. Project Wingman & Beasts of Maravilla Island get a working-over & there's discussion on how to build something new, and let something go.

A gaming show where Quantum Leap is referenced but the Sinclair QL isn’t? For shame. @RawFury’s Sable demo, @mikeBithell’s The Solitaire Conspiracy, @AbrakamStudio’s Roguebook & more make up the chat, along with the topic of consumer guilt.

It’s another E3 hype train, Brad's first class ticket grasped in his sweaty mitt. There’s time for recent game discussion, though, with the likes of Death Crown, Super Bomberman R Online, Speed Limit and Unmetal pored over and picked-on.

Stu comes down with a terrible case of foot-in-mouth disease, but thankfully a ton of games are discussed: Alba, Smash TV, Backbone, Pyre, Shadow of the Tomb Raider & much more. All this plus E3 too!

@bradigor takes a turn for the Sommelier with #brokenarmsgames' Hundred Days & @Treble_Alpha talks a load of fungus about Captain Toad Treasure Tracker. They also discuss #NaomiOsaka and the unfair pressure on today's sports stars.

Rough as a badger's wotsit, Brad can only make part 1 of the 'cast, but does a sterling job discussing Lacuna: a Sci-Fi Noir Adventure. Stu wraps his head around Tetris Effect: Connected (or rather, it wraps itself around his head ,in VR), and on the mental health side discusses how to cope when a barrage of issues crash in at once.

It's a clear (ur)sine that Brad doesn't love a game when he PAWSes to CLAW some good points together about it. Much like we've just done with those jokes. He is gentle (Ben) about the bear-starring (hence the awful puns) Summer Catchers , without POOH-pooing it too much, and refuses to PANDA to flaws in Vaporum Lockdown. Stu has neglected his games-playing duties, so recalls his short time on Mr Driller Drill Land, then they both peace-out before anything gets too GRIZZLY.

Brad's backlog is reaching scary heights, so is going ham on his pile of shame. He covers Empire of Ember, Don't Forget Me, Fez and Subnautica whilst Stu tries out pseudo-VR using Vorpx, heroically defers in Bravely Default II and tests out GetsuFumaDen: Undying Moon in early access. They also discuss feedback on the topic: when is a game 'complete'?

Execute episode 66...! Loads of games on the agenda this episode, including @DearVillager's Ash Walkers, @MadAboutPandas Hitchhiker - A Mystery Game, and @BolverkGames Glyph. Brad & Stu also chew on the Resi Evil: Village content, to discover if it's itchy and/or tasty.

R-Type Final 2 is finally here! [insert cleaganebowl klaxon sound] !!! Brad goes on about Quinterra, Persona 5 Strikers and where the site's headed, but it's all about the Bydo, baby! Stu also waffles about Bravely Default 2 for a bit.

An audibly exhausted Stu discusses the Switch Lite & #capcom's Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection, whilst a perkier Brad chats@SoftNotWeak's kickstarter Spirit Swap, plus planes, trains & aut...ism.

By royal appointment, Brad talks blind coaching and psychotic offspring, whilst Stu has fitted-in some Virtua Cop action. I met the queen once. She said, "I know you & you cannot sing". I said, "That's nothing, you should hear me podcast".

Sony gets a thorough rinsing, as Brad & Stu debate service shutdown & game preservation. They also talk SEGA Saturn Grandia by ESP, @studiofizbin 's Say No! More, and there's no mention whatsoever of the @DiRTgame series. For once.

Just because there's a pandemic, doesn't mean the regular bad stuff stops. Brad & Stu talk bad eyes & diabetes whilst, on the lighter side, covering the impressive #Astrologaster by @nyamyamgames & Game Boy #Tetris.

There's a Shodown between Samurai, whilst Jumpman searches for 6 Golden Coins, in this week's cast. Brad & Stu also discuss the troubling case of Sarah Everard & what it says about UK society. Feedback: [email protected]

The DiRT series gets properly hosed in this week's episode, with Brad & Stu separating the muck from the gold. Also census info, being non-binary, retro tech tinkering & more is covered in a packed 'cast.

Stu (@Treble_Alpha) is reminded gaming can be a meh-athon, not a sprint, having dabbled with @SquareEnix's Dragon Quest XI and the upcoming Forgone by @BigBlueBubble. He and Brad (@Bradigor)also fantasise about lockdown coming to an to end. Freeedommmmm...!

Strange goings-on in MHGland this week, as conspiracies & small northern towns lead the discussion. Brad & Stu stop talking about St. Helens long enough to cover @RisingStarGames Natsuki Chronicles, and to feel slightly queasy at @idSoftware's mediocre Rage 2.

MHG goes all nostalgic, with the sepia tones of the original Game Boy colouring the chat. Stu (@Treble_Alpha) discusses Irem's R-Type port & the overlooked Donkey Kong 94 by #Nintendo, whilst Brad @Bradigor) muses over vicarious play as his peepers heal-up.

M H G P O D C A S T Unsurprisingly, Brad and Stu talk eyesight & blindness, plus the Devil May Cry (Capcom) vs. DMC (Ninja Theory) debate gets a re-airing after all these years.

an be a lifeline during lock down, but it can also be distressing. Brad & Stu dive deep into examples of both, this week. The ever-pleasant world of games, however, serves-up a wide variety to chew over, in the forms of Disjunction, Sword of the Necromancer & Battle Circuiit _________________________________ Support us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/mentalhealthg...

It can be a tough old world, so this week Stu has a cathartic rant about some of the more high-profile morons. Brad is in a reflective mood about self-care, and on the lighter side of things they discuss Encodya, Final Fight LNS Ultimate, Flip-on, Ekstase & A Long Journey Help the Kickstarter - https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/crispycreative/a-long-journey-to-an-uncertain-end-a-space-opera-game Try the game - https://crispycreative.itch.io/a-long-journey-demo ___________________________________ Support us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/mentalhealthg...

The chaps celebrate their 1st broadcast anniversary by forgetting to prepare anything for it. They rally with chat about Ghostrunner, Legend of Bum-bo, PES 2021 & more plus James Stephanie Sterling & defending Ninja's newsworthy shenanigans. ___________________________________ Support us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/mentalhealthg...

Stu is still playing Dead Cells which has us talking accesibility but takes a break for more Resident Evil 5. Brad has been cheating on Tetris with Chime Sharp and the excellent Yaga. Chat then moves onto the misconceptions of depression in the general public consciousness. ___________________________________ Support us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/mentalhealthg...

It’s Christmaaaaas! Time for Brad & Stu to look at who’s been naughty & nice in the 2020 gamescape. From the heights of Lonely Mountains: Downhill to the depths of Cyberpunk 2077’s debut, the world is set to rights.

Despite not having started on the ol' Festive Fuel yet, Stu stumbles over a description of Asgard's Wrath as if already merry. Brad is more eloquent discussing Morbid & Chronos. Also discussed is the monstering of games journos & the positive representation of Elliot Page Reviews can be concise and to the point, or you can have a 5 minute ramble from the messed up mind of a long time gamer with ADHD. ___________________________________ Support us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/mentalhealthg...

Cyberpunk 2077 will feature because well, regardless of whether we play it or not, it needs discussing. Plus Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 and Mixolumia. Before moving on to hpw depression can be crippling and how what we do to try and overcome it. ___________________________________ Support us on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/mentalhealthg...

Life imitates art as Brad plays politics in Realpolitiks II, then talks real politics on the subject of societal rights.
