I swear the title makes sense when you listen to the show…

The show kicks off with guest Andrew “zircon” Aversa joining the show to chat about his brand new game Tangledeep on Steam Early Access! Plus with Pernell Vaughan in tow we talk about the game itself, his decision to get into game development, his music over the years, cats, video games, and our usual general shenanigans! And yes, “Gay to Death” gets explained. I promise.

After Andrew heads out, we cover the news of the week including new Xbox Backward compatibility additions, reports of the godawful voice chat “solution” on the Nintendo Switch, the first game to depart the EA Access Vault this year, and the massive recent Telltale game reveals! All that plus game giveaways and our reviews!

Moto GP 17 from Milestone and Square Enix is the latest in the track racing GP racer with an all new managerial career mode. Moon Hunters from Kitfox Games is a short and sweet experience designed to be replayed from multiple angles. ACA NEOGEO Fatal Fury Special from Hamster Corporation brings the 1993 fighter to current day consoles. Conga Master from Undercoders, PM Studios, and Rising Star Games is a highly addictive conga line “sim” across dance clubs, bowling alleys, and alien ships!

Greg Middleton writes in a review of Circuit Breakers from Triverske and Excalibur Games, a twin stick top down shooter sure to consume all of your time. Dead Purge: Outbreak from Microlith Games is a first person shooter fighting for survival against a horde of diseased undead. Nocked! True Tales of Robin Hood from Andrew Schneider is a choose your own adventure style game where you play the green tuniced legend. Hunting Simulator from Neopica, Bigben Interactive, and Maximum Games is a slow paced and methodical sim shooter across a dozen different locales with 37 different animals.

Finally, we end the show with a handful of songs from zircon himself spanning his career including some music from Tangledeep!
