Ep21: Hunt: Showdown is a late 1800s horror-shooter that simulates normal life in Maryland

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.theconundrumcluster.comTo be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to enjoy Hunt: Showdown. The gameplay is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the combat loop will go over a typical player’s head. There's also the story’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into the gameworld - the game’s philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of this gameplay, to realize that it’s not just fun - it says something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Hunt: Showdown truly ARE idiots - of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in The Cryptkeeper’s existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Crytek's genius unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Hunt: Showdown tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only - And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.Here are all the podcast episodes available now (most are paywalled):Ep1: Redditors of the Reddit Moon (Paid)Ep2: Robocop: Rogue City review (Free)Ep3: "War to the Knife" takes a s**t on your stupid Civil War 2 fantasy (Free)Ep4: "The Glorious Cause" is the best book on the American Revolution (that I've found) (Free)Ep5: Your opinion on The Killer (2023) determines whether or not you have bad taste (Paid)Ep6: Bitter master director Ridley Scott takes his time shitting out historical epic no one wanted (Free)Ep7: This is the one (1) movie that you absolutely need to watch literally right now (Paid)Ep8: Revenge thriller episode (Paid)Ep9: Ride with the Devil (1999) is the best Civil War movie that I know you haven't seen yet (Free)Ep10: 🚨ALERT🚨 Japanese launch devastating surprise attack on moviegoers' heartstrings (Paid)Ep11: Total Recall (1990) was the sci-fi slaughterhouse America needed and deserved (Paid)Ep12: I watched a bunch of the new DailyWire+ original movies last week...
