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, and David gather to discuss BEYOND GOOD & EVIL, Ubisoft's 2003 adventure game about uncovering a government conspiracy through the power of investigative journalism. We discuss the early-aughts "Titan A.E." sci-fi aesthetic, clumsy but good-hearted attempts at multiculturalism, and how weird it feels to have a populous roused to rebellion by the power of journalism. We discuss long-in-development sequels and famous vaporware. Nate admits his desire to eat a box of K-Bups.

Nate, Jordan, and Ryan gather to discuss PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME, Ubisoft's 2003 time-rewinding parkour extravaganza. We discuss the game's similarities to ICO (a game we covered earlier this year), the superb level design, and how the titular Prince reads as quite a bit creepier in 2020. Ryan lauds how influential the game's combat seems to have been, Nate explains his theory that the Prince *definitely* fronts a butt-rock band, and Jordan explains his strategy for winning infinite free pizzas.
