Ep 66: Hades - It’ll Work Its Way Into Your Bones

Usually when Jason suggest a game, Corri and Ben roll their eyes and grumble. Well that's what happened here too...but then they played Hades and TOTALLY CHANGED THEIR MINDS!!! Man this game is dope. Ben and Corri each put 80+ hours into it this month and wow. What a game. Hope you get a chance to play it, even if you've never played a rogue-like before (like 2/3 of us). Great story, fun gameplay, addictive setup all around. Check it out! 

We start out checking in, then get into the development and making-of (6:30), then dive deeeeep into the gameplay after that (17:30). We chat about our favorite builds (31:45), our favorite characters (43:30), and Jason gives us an education in Rogues and Rogue-likes (58:00). Eventually we meaner on down to the discopub for some "What's The Drink? What's The Song?" (1:12:15), and visit the Recommendation Station (1:22:00). After that we have our Dev Spotlight (1:37:15) and a lengthy segment of MOLMF! In The News! (1:39:18). And of course we end things talking about next month's game (1:51:03), which is kind of a throwback...in a sense...get psyched!

All I Want For Christmas Is MOLMF

We did it! Another year! Huzzaaahhhh!!!! And we couldn't have done it with you, dear listener. Or at least, it would've been a lot more boring. Join us as we celebrate the holidays and look back on another great year in the MOLMFiverse. 

And even though it's our longest episode ever (EVER!), feel free to skip all the awards and suggestions and jump straight to the blooper reel and funnies (2:00:00).

Happy holidays and here's to another great year of fun and games!

Ep 65: Psychonauts 2 - Another Beautiful Therapy Moment

Another day, another sequel! That's right, we're back and talking about one of our most favoritest franchises ever: PYSCHONAUTS!!! This time, the recently-released sequel aptly entitled: Psychonauts 2!

After some intro-ing we get into the development (7:00) then seamlessly slide right into the gameplay (13:00). Eventually we get into a classic round of "What's The Drink? What's The Song?" but somehow do it backwards...? (37:45). Dev spotlight after that (1:02:30) and we end things talking about next NEXT month's game that Corrigan got to pick (1:07:45).

That's it for now. Thanks again for another great seasons of MOLMF! See you next week for our Holiday Special.

Side Quest: SPORTS! w/ Brent Peterson

As long as we've been playing video games, we've been playing sports video games. From NHL '94 and NBA JAM to NFL Blitz and FIFA, we love the challenging, fun, and social nature of these games. So we figured, let's do a whole ep focused on just that. It's a little bit of a turn from our usual pointy, clicky adventures, but we figured if we enjoy these games, we might have a few listeners who do too.

One of those listeners is our dear FOLMF, Brent Peterson, who joined us again this week to chat about his experience in sporting games. Enjoy!

Ep 64: Little Nightmares 2 - Your Dead, Your Dead, Your Dead

Happy Halloweeeeen!!! Hope you had your fill of candy and were also able to play Little Nightmares 2 this month. If not, give it a go now. It's sure to keep the creep factor going for a little while long. 

We meandered through the intro and development and eventually arrive at the gameplay section (14:00), then we play some "What's The Drink? What's The Song?" (47:00), and talk about some of our favorite spooky game moments (59:40). Then we take a trip to the Recommendation Station (1:16:45), Developer Spotlight (1:22:45), and talk about next month's game (1:25:30).

Ep 63: Deathloop - Now I Only Wanna Stay

We're pushing back our Halloween game a few week so we can get our latest obsession onto the pod: DEATHLOOOOOP! Definitely enjoying this latest hit from Arkane, so hopefully you get a chance to play it for a bit. 

After the intros, Jason lead us through development (7:15), before we get into a LOT of the gameplay (19:30), and finally get deeeep into spoilers (1:10:30). Of course we play "What's The Drink? What's The Song?" (1:19:15), take a stop at the Recommendation Station (1:33:00) and Developer Spotlight (1:39:30). Again, we're playing Little Nightmares 2 and will try to get it released before Halloween for ya!

Ep 62: Going Under - So. Many. Chickens.

Welcome to startup culture! Grab your laptop, your favorite flavored latte, your Nintendo Switch, and a few blunt objects because you're joblin huntin! 

After some intros and shenanigans we get into the development of Going Under (8:45) before diving into the gameplay and general thoughts on the game (19:15). Then we play a rousing round of "What's The Drink? What's The Song?" (59:00), take a visit to the Recommendation Station (1:09:00), and of course talk about what we'll be playing next month (1:32:15).

61: Umurangi Generation - It's Got A Dolphin DJ

Always fun playing a new kind of game, and photography simulator was one we hadn't tackled yet. Umurangi Generation was not only fun, but it was also amazingly well-crafted and told a poignant story with a thought-provoking POV. Really refreshing and just a great time overall. Hope you get a chance to play it!

We start off by talking about how the game came to be in the first place, then get into the gameplay (28:30) and then play "What's The Drink? What's The Song?" (50:30). We eventually get onboard at the Recommendation Station (59:15) and then spotlight an indie developer (1:12:00) and finally talk about next month's game (1:15:00). Enjoy!

Ep 60: A Short Hike - Darn Fun To Play and Cute To Look At

We played another game! I know, just when you thought we could never top the greatness of our previous episode, we go out and do just that! Anyway, here's a great game called A Short Hike that we all really got a kick out of. It's a shorty, but a goodie. Give it a shot and I bet you'll love it. 

We start off with some intro jibber-jabber then get into the game's development and our experiences playing the game (5:50). Then we play a congenial round of "What's The Drink? What's The Song?" (37:30), we highlight a developer with a really cool game (52:10), we mention some MOLMF-related topics in the news (57:30), a quick mention of what else we've been playing (1:01:30), and end things talking about next month's game (1:12:00). Can't wait!

Side Q̶u̶e̶s̶t̶ Trek: The Next Generation

We're late...again. But to make up for that, Jason and Ben jumped on the mics to tell of all their adventures on their brand spanking new PS5s, as well as some (a lot of) hilarious anecdotes along the way. Enjoy! 

And don't forget, A Short Hike will be out next week! Man, that game is a blast.

Ep 59: Super Mario 3D World - Testing The Limits of Your Cattributes

Welcome back to the show, Mark Lewis! Always fun having him on the show, and always fun playing a classic Nintendo series like Mario. Just back to the basics with this one...except for it being different than any game we've ever played and a wholly unique experience completely unto itself. Hope you've gotten a chance to play it!

After some BS and intros, the gang gets into the development and gameplay (15:30) before a fun little round of "What's The Drink? What's The Song?" (51:00). Then after some chitchat and recommendations (1:02:30) we announce next month's game (1:20:15). Enjoy!

Ep 58: There Is No Game - There Is No Pod

Just a normal conversation between friends this month. Sorry, we didn't get to a game or podcast or anything. Nothing to see here...

We definitely don't chat for a big before getting into the development of a video game (10:30) and diving deep into our own experiences playing it. We definitely don't play a game based on that game where we pick a drink and a song based on that game...that doesn't exist (43:00), and we don't recommend anything else we're playing either (51:30), and we most assuredly do not talk about what game we're playing next month (64:00).

Ep 57: Spiritfarer - That's How Death Works

Welcome to spring! To celebrate the new blooms on the trees and new baby animals springing up everywhere, we're playing a game entirely centered around death and dying...but in the cutest way possible! Seriously though, this game was heavy, and light, and well, basically EVERYTHING to us. So much so, that we had to bring on a special guest, Corrigan's sister Erin. She helped us process our thoughts and emotions as we discussed the ups and downs of one of our favorite games of all time: Spiritfarer. Enjoy!

After some intros and BS, and some really heavy-hitting development by Jason, we get into the gameplay (7:30) and it lasts AWHILE. Eventually we get into "What's The Drink? What's The Song?" (1:19:14) before a delightful Recommendation Station (1:40:00) and FINALLY we talk about next month's game (1:58:15). WHEW. What an episode!

Ep 56: Donut County - Something Wonderful Came Out Of That Hole

Someday we'll make it back to a 1980s LucasArts game...BUT NOT TODAY! This month we're diving deep into Donut County and loving every sugary crumb of it. It's not often a game is created, designed, programmed, scored, and produced by just one person...but this one somehow was and it's kind of a masterpiece! So get your pink boxes ready and your dust off the powdered sugar from your favorite headphones. Let's get into it...

As always, we meander through the intro and development before getting into the gameplay itself (29:30), then play a sweet little round of "What's The Beer? What's The Song?" (51:45) before dropping our first ever kids-led segment...Kid County! (64:30) Then we chat about the other loves in our lives...more video games we've been playing (67:45) and then we highlight Amber-Leigh Blake and Anamnesis (82:45). 

Thanks again for listening! Have a great month and get on next month's game. It's a doozy.
