Better late than never! Just two boys are in town today, while an Alex and the Neil are coming to you live from the internet. The digital boys abuse their mute powers, Adam and an Alex talk Titanfall 2, bobcats, and someone brought up Call of Duty.. We're book clubbing about the Norse horrors of Through the Woods; ESPEEEEEEEEN.

Happy Halloween! Were yapping about the Nintendo Switch, Alex overcame Digimon, we try to figure out just what happened over at Hello Games this week, and we're taking singing lessons. This episode, we're talking about Team Gotham's The Guest. Next episode, we'll be talking about the actually (hopefully) spooky Through the Woods, just in time for Halloween to be over! Other games we played this week: -DragonBall Xenoverse 2 -Accounting -Beyond Good and Evil Remastered -Bloodborn *sigh*

Part 1 of the podcast is back from the dead, we confuse ourselves trying to figure our just what the heck happened in Variable State's Virginia, and we totally don't talk about the Nintendo Switch reveal. No, seriously, we recorded this before that happened. Go us. Alex has never been to bugaboo creek. #whichalex I'm sleepy = short shownotes. Next episode, we'll be covering Team Gotham's The Guest for our Halloween spooktacular. I hear that game isn't all that scary. Perfect! Other games we played this week: -Mafia III -Thumper -Devil Daggers -Oceanhorn -Danganropa 2

The first half of the pod was chopped up by the internet gods, so we're just getting right into the meat of our discussion of Event [0]. We'll try to suppress our urge to talk about smarterchild the whole time. Steam Reviews Arcade finds its way back into the mix! Next episode, we'll be discussing Variable State's Virginia, so feel free to pick that up on PS4 or Steam and follow along. But until then, feel free to email us about any and all of the video games we talk about over at reactionbin@gmail.com, or hit us up on facebook at facebook.com/reactionbin. Oh, and our website is back up again, yay.

An Alex was out sick this week, so we replaced him with our first ever very sentient special guest that is definitely not a toilet. This episode, Alex moans about Assassins Creed for some reason, Adam's playing Halo on PC, and Neil is playing old geezer games. Rather than covering one game in our book club, we cover 500,000 games!!! I mean, we talk about itch.io stuff. And its more like 7 games. Next episode, we'll be covering Ocelot Society's, Event [0]   Games we covered this week:  Sacremento (https://dziff.itch.io/sacramento) Supercontinent Ltd.

Alex (#whichalex) brought "tang mimosas" to the studio, we yelled about the new Metal Gear Survive announcement, the Titanfall 2 technical test happened, pokemon uranium got shut down, but low key, this is our No Mans Sky therapy session.  I don't think we know the difference between Thirty Flights of Loving and The Life of Pablo.

Other games we talked about this week: -Anarcute -Furi -Pokemon Go -Doom -Wolfenstein the Old Blood Next episode, we'll be doing something different.
