Some say this might be the scariest game ever made, and I agree, but not for the right reasons. I love the Alien franchise, but I HATE this game. The concept is cool. You play as Ellen Ripley's daughter, and you have to escape a ship full of Aliens, killer robots, and hostile staff. It's a great idea, and the first-person concept works perfectly. But it's also a stealth game, and I fucking HATE stealth games. You spend this whole game hiding in lockers or under desks and after about 6 hours of snoozing and losing, I rage quit as hard as I've ever rage quit a game. Tyler returns to the show this week, and he may not hate this game QUITE as much as I do, but he's not a fan either. We don't think it's a "lazy" game, but we don't think it's fun. Fucking game... And before we talk about that stupid Alien, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro! This week, someone asks if I think we'll ever get another Mega Man game? Would I recommend the Steam Deck to someone that just lost their Switch? And if I could be a fly on the wall and oversee a game's development, what would I pick? Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 Alien games: Alien vs Predator, Alien 3, and Alien Trilogy. Learn more about your ad choices.

Comedian Adam Blank invites you to pull up a chair for Remember The Game? Retro Gaming Podcast. This isn't a dry recap of release dates or technical specs. Instead, each episode feels like cracking open a time capsule with a friend. Adam and a guest choose one title from their past-a cartridge they rented a dozen times or a disc that defined a summer-and just talk about it. The conversation meanders through personal memories, the sheer joy of discovering a hidden level, the frustration of a cheap boss fight, and the unmistakable music that’s still stuck in their heads decades later. You’ll hear the laughter and camaraderie that comes from shared, albeit sometimes very specific, experiences. The goal of this podcast is to capture that specific feeling of being a kid again, trading secrets by the lockers or arguing about which game was truly the best. It’s less about critique and more about connection, built on a foundation of pixels and nostalgia. Tune in for a warmly familiar, often hilarious chat that celebrates the games that shaped us, one deeply personal and wonderfully digressive story at a time.
