A very silly self-guided tour through the history of videogames, from Advance Wars to Zork. Except chronologically. So it would be the other way around.

Nate, Sebastian, Ryan, and returning guest Brock sit down to discuss SILENT HILL, Konami's psychological horror adventure from 1999. We discuss how the game takes the Resident Evil mold in a different direction, how the game shamelessly steals from (and still does justice to) its inspirations, and how sometimes being on the wrong side of the Uncanny Valley can be so, so right. Sebastian praises the game's dreamlike atmosphere, Brock wonders what anyone could ever see in Silent Hill as a resort town, and Nate feels he was denied critical, need-to-know information.

Nate, Sebastian, and Jordan gather to discuss CRAZY TAXI, SEGA's 1999 arcade game about driving a cab in a manner some would consider "wild." We talk about the gig economy, city layouts in videogames, and we discuss at length the various oddball titles of SEGA's wonderful, all-too-briefly-present final console. BONUS: Another guest appearance from four-year-old William, who is our resident expert on driving games.
