PSP #165: Tabletop Tales - The Red Dragon Inn 2, Sentinels of the Multiverse, Last Night on Earth: The Zombie Game, and Where Art Thou, Romeo?

In this week's edition of Tabletop Tales, I return to Coup after a decent break--y'all can get a special edition of the upcoming expansion pack, Reformation, via Kickstarter right now--and then try a handful of new games [for me]--including The Red Dragon Inn 2, Sentinels of the Multiverse, Last Night on Earth: The Zombie Game,  and the incredibly awful and annoying "nanogame," Where Art Thou, Romeo?, which y'all could have picked up via Kickstarter for just a buck late last year. (Ok. Fine. Romeo isn't that bad, but it's not that good either...)

If you want some juicy, meaty thoughts about the games played, listen to the show; however, if you just want a quick bite of thoughts with a side of opinion, my favorite game of the night was Sentinels of the Multiverse--a cooperative card game where you (and up to four others) take on the role of super hero and try to save the day from whatever villain is currently wrecking havoc in one of various environments--we were battling an evil building inside of a building! I did enjoy all the games, but Sentinels stood out thanks to great mechanics and a whole lotta replayability.

PSP #164: Game Club #4, Part 1 - Binary Domain

In today's episode, the first part of the Binary Domain Game Club, I talk about the first two chapters of the game, mentioning what I love--the set pieces, character interaction, and general vibe--what I don't love--the color palette and story--and what really annoyed me--losing trust with teammates after they ran in front of my firing gun. What I have to say is great and all, but, if you've been playing Binary Domain as well, leave your thoughts in the comment section below and play the third and fourth chapters by next Monday.

PSP #163: Board Game Friday with Coconuts, The Resistance, The Downfall of Pompeii, and a Bit of Banging

In today's weekly tabletop-themed episode, I talk about a few Kickstarter projects: Westerly: The Threeboot, Baseball Highlights 2045, and (ume) Waterproof USB Bracelet. After I kickstarting the show, I jump headfirst into Coconuts--a ridiculous and awesome dexterity game from Mayday Games--The Resistance--which I only know played despite playing tons and tons of Coup--return to The Downfall of Pompeii and, as seemingly always now, play a bit more BANG!

In today's episode, I talk about the dexterity board game, Coconuts--which is way more fun than I ever expected--and then talk about Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes and Dark Souls II a bit more because I have nothing better to talk about.

PSP #161: MGSV: Ground Zeroes, Dark Souls II and Board Games

In today's episode, I talk about Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes--which I enjoy despite being little more than an overpriced demo--and some more Dark Souls II as I make my way to No Man's Wharf. After that, I talk about the next Game Club game--which is Binary Domain (listen to the show for details)--and a few Kickstart projects--Varney the Vampire: for Thrillbent.com (Digital & Print), Tiger Stripes, and POOP: The Game.

PSP #160: Tabletop Friday with More Banging Than Any King of Tokyo Can Handle

In today's weekly tabletop-themed episode, I talk about some more BANG!--well, I talk about a lot of banging--and then battle it out to find out who the King of Tokyo is! (Hint: it wasn't me.) After that, I talk briefly about Coconuts--a brand new dexterity game from Mayday Games--but nowhere near as much as I will when I finally play a few games.

PSP #159: Dark Souls II and The Current Number of the Beast

In today's episode, I talk about some more Dark Souls II--specifically, my time battling The Pursuer (a real son of a biscuit)--and then dive into the card/dice game, The Current Number of the Beast--which is a great gateway game.

PSP #158: Game Club #3, Part 1 - Dead Rising 2: Case West

In today's episode, the first (and only) episode of the Dead Rising 2: Case West Game Club, I talk about how horrible it is and how bad John, @Lunchbox700, is at recommending games--he's the genius who recommend A Boy and His Blob. And when the Game Club is over, I talk a bit about Dark Souls II and Nom Nom Galaxy--the game formerly known as, PixelJunk Inc..

PSP #157: Tabletop Friday with Robinson Crusoe: Adventure on the Cursed Island, BANG!, Smash Up, and Pandemic

In today's weekly tabletop-themed episode, I talk about Robinson Crusoe: Adventure on the Cursed Island--a fairly complicated cooperative game that reminds me a bit of Oregon Trail, only on an island instead--BANG!--which I finally won [as the deputy]--Smash Up--which is an interesting "shufflebuilding" card game I need to play again to make up my mind about--and Pandemic--another cooperative game I really enjoyed and would love to play again (and works well with just two players). After that, I remind y'all about the Westerly Reboot Kickstarter campaign that has just under 48hrs to reach its goal. (I also talk about some game called...Titanfall.)

The Pixelated Sausage Podcast #156: Kickstarter Will Leave You with a Dark Soul, Too

In today's episode, I talk a bit about Dark Souls II--just a bit--The Lego Movie Videogame, some more Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare, and a few tabletop games--including the surprisingly fun, The Current Number of the Beast; however, the real heart of today's episode lies within Kickstarter as I end up talking about Kickstarter and various projects--like Westerly Reboot--for way longer than I expected, leading to one of the longest episodes to date!
