Rand(Nerds); Episode 244 - Hi-Fi Rush, XCOM 2

Rand(Nerds);

Welcome to Episode 244

We start off discussing Ram re-wiring techniques after Skazz's wife has an accident with a hedge trimmer. Ram also talks about his visit to the Pig and Poultry fair to see all the pig related sex equipment and tractors.

Moving swiftly on, Skazz has been playing Hi-Fi Rush, developed by recently killed off studio Tango Gameworks, a third person platformer with a rhythm style combat mechanic. Skazz talks about how it avoided it at the time.

Following on from the above, we discuss the random cull Microsoft have done of some their studios and the state the gamer industry is in, how its got here and what the future will hold, we also discuss why the time is to move away from chasing graphics and into other parts of development.

Ram has been fighting a alien invasion in 2016 XCOM 2, a management sim with a turn based combat were you have to manage a flying base and perform mission with soldiers who do not tend to have long life spans. Capture alien tech and even the aliens themselves to improve your equipment and take the fight back to them. The only dislike is the mission timer.

We also discuss: Skazz ASMR, Pig wanking machines, Ram’s sausage

Notes:

A company offering free robotic upgrades is EVIL?!?!? Who would have guessed in Hi-Fi Rush

Don’t get attached to your soldiers in XCOM 2
