Ep 57: Spiritfarer - That's How Death Works
Wednesday Apr 07, 2021
Wednesday Apr 07, 2021
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
Friday Mar 12, 2021
Friday Mar 12, 2021
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.

Ep 55: Escape From Monkey Island - No One Can Justify Monkey Kombat
Wednesday Feb 10, 2021
Wednesday Feb 10, 2021
We're getting back to our roots and really pandering to our target audience (and ourselves) with this month's throwback: Escape From Monkey Island. Released in Y2K, this beast of a puzzle-monkey-kombat-adventure game is full of some of our favorite characters, locations, inside jokes, and even a nod to the name of the pod itself! Hope you get a chance to play this gem, but if not, it's kinda spoilerproof, so strap in and enjoy!
We talk A LOT about the game from a high level, then get into the gameplay specifics finally (26:15), before eventually playing an appetizing round of "What's The Drink? What's The Song?" (46:45). Of course we talk about every other game we've been playing as of late (65:30), and at some point get to talking about next month's game (75:45). (SPOILER ALERT: It's Donut County!)

Happy holidays to all and to all a good pod! Here are our end of the year awards for all the games we played. We talk plenty of games, but also LOTS of tangents. Hope you enjoy it.

Ep 54: Paradise Killer - An Ironic Frappuccino
Friday Dec 25, 2020
Friday Dec 25, 2020
It's our December game!!! Hope this helps bring some warmth to your holiday season and Jason welcomes on Renata Price, games critic formerly of Fanbyte who somehow enjoyed Paradise Killer even more than Jason. It's a real love fest. Hope you were able to play! (Unlike lazybones Corrigan and sluggard Ben)
After the introduction they get into the development (9:00) then dive fully into gameplay and spoilers not long after that (13:45). After LOTS of high level PK talk, they bring it back down to play a lovely round of "What's The Drink? What's The Song?" (60:00). Then Ben joins for a few minutes (67:00) where they talk about a few Black developers that are doing some amazing work, as well what our next game is, coming to you the first Friday in February 2021!
Thanks again to Ren for joining the pod and please stay tuned for our HOLIDAY SPECIAL out next week!

Side Quest: All Filler, No Killer
Thursday Dec 10, 2020
Thursday Dec 10, 2020
For the first time in the history of MOLMF, we're not publishing our game on time. 2020 is still 2020.
So while our Paradise Killer ep is still a few weeks away, Jason and Ben got together to have a little conversation about some of their favorite games they've played recently, as well dealbreakers they've discovered over the years. Enjoy!

Ep 53: Little Nightmares - That’s Not What You Do With Meat
Saturday Oct 31, 2020
Saturday Oct 31, 2020
Happy Halloween!!! Hopefully you're finding fun ways to celebrate the spookiest of holidays, full of plenty of candy and terrors--I know we are! We played the terrifying and surprisingly thoughtful and story-centric tale Little Nightmares, and we're bringing it to you a week early so you can rightfully celebrate All Hallows' Eve with our scariest episode ever. We were also honoured to have the other half of Corrigan's Jack Of All Graves podcast, Mark Lewis, join us and equally excited for his pronunciation of the word "bears". Get psyched!
After some goofs and some spoofs, we get into the development side of things (12:00) and eventually dive into a spoiler-full gameplay discussion (20:00). We play a lovely game Ben made up on the spot called "3 Questions" (45:30), and then get into a slimy, yet satisfying match of "What's The Drink? What's The Song" (62:30). Eventually we power up the ol' Recommendation Station (70:45), and finish things off nicely with a little MOLMF In The News (86:45) and next months game! We did it!

Side Quest: Star Wars Squadrons
Tuesday Oct 20, 2020
Tuesday Oct 20, 2020
We took a quick break from Little Nightmares to play another MOLMF classic: Star Wars Squadrons. It's a new Star Wars game so of course we had to play it and we were even lucky enough to bring in our old Friend Of Low Moral Fiber Sean Thompson to help us take her for a spin!
Thanks again to Sean for joining us!

Ep 52: Never Alone - Alive In A New Medium
Tuesday Oct 13, 2020
Tuesday Oct 13, 2020
We downloaded this game YEARS ago, so it's a pleasure to finally get to talk about it as we welcome in Dr. Wendi Sierra onto the pod as a scholar, game developer, writer, and Oneida tribe member.
We start off getting into who Wendi is and diving into her area of research, then we dive into the game itself and all of our experiences playing it. After a bit of that we have a lengthy game of "What's The Drink? What's The Song?" (37:00), then take a trip on the magical Recommendation Station (47:30), and a lovely little ride on the MOLMF In The News Ferry (67:15). Then we end things talking about next month's game aaaaaand that's it. Enjoy!

Ep 51: Treachery in Beatdown City - Just Dirty Enough
Tuesday Sep 15, 2020
Tuesday Sep 15, 2020
We're running things back...to earlier this year. That's right, it may be a new game, but it definitely hearkens back to the games of yore that inspired this pod in the first place. Hope you get a chance to play it!
It's another one of those great episodes where the history and development just smooshes into the gameplay with no discernible separation or musical interlude...so yeah. Go us. Anyway, after we talk about the game for awhile, we eventually play a rousing game of "What's The Drink? What's The Song?" (40:15), talk about our favorite segments (48:15), talk about what else we've been doing in the Recommendation Station (53:00), and end with talking about what we're playing next month. And yes, we're very excited about next month's game. Give it a listen!
As always, if you in any way enjoyed this episode, feel free to rate and review it in iTunes or wherever else you're listening to it. Thanks for helping to spread the word!
