Episode 352: The Late-Capitalist Scream

Chris, Tom S and Marsh dial in to the eZone to digichat about obvious replicant Geoff Keighley’s latest data-dump, before opening up our brainchips to irrecoverable corruption by the Cyberpunk 2077 discourse.

• Suffer the many newses beamed from Geoff Keighley’s Laser Cage.
• Bioware had trailers for new Dragon Age and Mass Effect projects, both offering a homeopathic density of information – though little does this impede our speculation!
• Disco Elysium is getting full voice-acting: which will be cool if it’s good and good if it’s cool.
• They’re making another Perfect Dark. LOL!
• Back4Blood does surprisingly little for us.
• Whereas Darktide, which is more or less the same thing, is TICKLE CENTRAL.
• Cyberpunk 2077.
• Rob Fahey’s article on CDProjekt’s stock market shenanigans and their impact on the development of Cyberpunk.
• Tom refers to Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars trilogy.
• Jesus Christ this quiz really outstays its welcome. Sorry everyone. Sorry.
• Sorry.
• The quiz stings were composed from the following free sounds from the excellent freesound.org: “Correct Answer / That’s Right”, “correct.mp3” and “Vomiting on the ground – Remixed”.
