MHG Podcast

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.

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...
