Ep 41: Outer Wilds - Lumberpunk
Sunday Sep 15, 2019
Sunday Sep 15, 2019
This game blew us away! Really a fun surprise and we hope you had a chance to play it as well. Corrigan couldn't be bothered to play with us this month, so it's just Jason and Ben running around the galaxy, blowing s#@* up...but we thoroughly enjoyed it nonetheless. You will be missed dear Corrigan, but we're excited to have you back next month!
Things got a little weird with the timeline and order this month (you'll see why), but basically, after the intros, we get into the making-of at some point (around 5:15), then chat about the gameplay for...awhile after that. After some loopy moments in there, we chat about what beer and song this song might be (48:00), what else we've been playing (52:15), and then we of course pick next month's game--with the help of Corri! (56:45). And since that'll be our October game, it'll be a bit spookier than normal. Look out!

Ep 40: The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa - Making You Think Like You
Sunday Aug 18, 2019
Sunday Aug 18, 2019
We're talking all things Ringo this week in this fighting/RPG/open-world strange game from earlier this year. Jason walks us through the making of the game and we all dive fist-first into the gameplay as (most of us) were able to beat the whole thing this month.
After the intro, we get into the making of the game and why we (Jason) chose to play it (6:00) and eventually we start talking gameplay (26:00). Then of course we libate it up and play some "What's The Drink? What's The Song?" (48:45), talk about what else we've been playing (61:30), and end with talking about what we'll be playing next month (70:15). Enjoy!

Ep 39: Life Is Strange - We Mustn't Dwell. Not Today.
Wednesday Jul 10, 2019
Wednesday Jul 10, 2019
It's officially Stranger Things season, and we're keeping things strange on the pod by talking all about the 2015 episodic adventure Life Is Strange. Strap on your adolescent and melodramatic murder mystery hats!
After some high level tomfoolery, we finally get into the development of the game (5:00), and dive deeeeeep into the gameplay eventually (27:00). After a long and lovely discussion on that, we talk about what might be the libation and what might be the tune most related to this game (61:00), and of course chat about what other games we might be playing simultaneously (73:00). Then we end with talking about next month's game. Give it a listen to find out!

Ep 38: Yoku's Island Express - The Hammer Is My Pinball
Saturday Jun 01, 2019
Saturday Jun 01, 2019
We're joined again by Corrigan Vaughan this week and are excited to announce she'll be joining us on the podcast from here on out as a permanent host of MOLMF!!! Huzzah!!!
We're talking all about her first suggestion for the podcast: Yoku's Island Express. Hope you were able to pick it up and play it a bit this month, but either way, we hope you enjoy this lovely romp down pinball lane.
After some random chitchat off the top, we make the official Corrigan cohost announcement (4:15), then get into the development (13:30) and gameplay (19:15). We're switching things up a bit and "What's the Beer? What's the Song?" is now officially "What's the Drink? What's The Song?" due to...well due to old age and drinking preferences. Anyway, then we talk about what else we've been playing (51:15), talk about a LOT of games--including what we're playing next month (56:00), and end with a little MOLMF...In The News! segment (65:15).

Ep 37: The Curse of Monkey Island - The Stupid Peppermill
Friday May 03, 2019
Friday May 03, 2019
We're back to our Monkey Island-ing ways in the third of the Monkey Island epic pentalogy, and while it's a bit of a departure from Ron Gilbert's first 2 games, it's more of the same for us as we welcome back Corrigan Vaughan to the podcast to discuss all of her piratey adventures along the way!
We get into the background and making of the game at the top, then welcome Corrigan onto the podcast for a lengthy discussion of the gameplay (15:30). After that, Corri stays on the pod for a classic round of "What's The Beer? What's The Song?" (43:30), and to chat about what else we've been playing and what we're playing next month (52:15)!
Thanks again to Corrigan for joining us on the show this month! Looking forward to having her on again...next month! Stay tuned!

Friday Apr 12, 2019
Friday Apr 12, 2019
Just like the nostalgic feelings this game brought to us, we welcomed back an old favorite guest, Sean Thompson! Lucky for us, he was able to join us for the WHOLE THING. So enjoy that...
Some intros and dev talk, then into the gameplay (7:30), and give a bit of an overview of the plot at (19:30). After a few follow up questions to the story (32:30), we play a tasty round of "What's The Beer? What's The Song?" (40:30), talk about what else we've been playing (49:30, and even share a new segment: MOLMF In The News! (55:00), and end by talking about next month's game. Give it a listen to find out, and thanks again for joining us!

Ep 35: Kôna - Isolation, Loneliness, and Madness
Sunday Mar 03, 2019
Sunday Mar 03, 2019
We're finding our groove in 2019 with another MOLMF genre favorite: a walking simulator! However, this one has a bit more strategy and puzzling than most of the ones we've covered in the past. Hope you had a chance to pick up Kôna this past month, because it's definitely a mind-bending, terrifying, intriguing game. Here we go...
After the intro, we get into the backstory and development of the game (5:30), then chat about all the joys and frustrations of the gameplay itself (10:45). Then of course we play a moist round of WTBWTS (36:30), talk about what else we've been playing (41:15) and finish with next month's game at the very end. Enjoy!

Ep 34: Star Wars Knights Of The Old Republic II - I Did Dxun
Friday Feb 15, 2019
Friday Feb 15, 2019
Starting off 2019 with some classic Star Wars gaming! We covered the original KOTOR a few months ago, so make sure you check that one out too. But really, just two great SW titles. We spent over 75 hours combined completing this one, so we hope you enjoy the podcast as much as we enjoyed playing the game!
After intros and backstories, we get into the character-by-character breakdowns and talk more gameplay (17:00), then play some WTBWTS (47:15). Then of course we chat about what else we've been playing and what we're playing next month (56:45). Looking forward to it! Hope you enjoyed this ep too!
