We welcome the marvelous Shannon Strucci back to the podcast at last to discuss the amazing Vermis by Plastiboo. The ambiguity, the dark, the hopelessness and the hope, it's all here and it's perfect for your spooky night. Enjoy!

We welcome veteran developer Nate Purkeypile -- of Bethesda fame -- on the show to talk about going indie with his first solo game The Axis Unseen. A spooky discussion for a spooky season, we delve into the world of corporate games making and why going indie has worked for Nate.

Liv and I did into the wonderfully silly and endearing Tactical Breach Wizards! Is it a game only for tactics heads? Does the banter work? Did we like the game (okay yes I'll spoil it we did)? All this and more here on No Cartridge.

Emily (SpaceQueenEmily) joins us once again as No Wall Scroll reunites to discuss the transcendently silly Oh My Goddess! OVA. Thrill to the antics of Belldandy, Urd, and Skuld alongside the hapless Keiichi.

Trev and Sam meet up for the very last of Danganronpa v3! The long awaited conclusion, with nearly two hours of reaction and analysis from our heroes! Does the series stick the landing? Or will we end in despair?

Liv and Trev return for a new episode of GG No Reread! We cover the wonderful pair of Umberto Eco's classic novel The Name of the Rose and the remarkable Josh Sawyer/Obsidian game Pentiment. Join us as we talk history, religion, writing, art, and knowledge. And video games!

Liv and Trev talk about -- and disagree on! -- the 2009 lodestar film GAMER. Can the creators of CRANK and Gerard Butler really do work in depicting the allegorical distancing of self and avatar in our modern world? Well no, but what's behind that no is gonna be different depending on who you ask!

Liv and Trevor cover a new indie game in Strange Scaffold's CLICKHOLDING. The uncomfortable thrill of watching someone lose their mind with the delight of forced monotony produces one of the most compelling video game experiences of the year. Join us!

Graham and Trevor return to discuss the final episode of season 3, THE GAS MAN. Thrill as Frank Pembleton is hunted by a former foe -- will he die? No. But there are other questions to be sure.
