To accompany the comment on Beksinski, I submit that I’d love to see a Nerdrum-inspired game. Pseudo-Medieval Flemish dystopia?

Cool thanks! This is unlikely (and I put it in a separate comment, so redundant as well), but do you know of a Unity game from, I dunno, five years ago in which you use magic and guns in a kind of Old-West / Old (uh?) Asia setting? It was turn-based on an isometric grid, and there were spiders and zombies and whatnot.…

Or Fürni!

Does anyone remember a Unity-based game from, I dunno, five years ago in which you use magic and guns in a kind of Old-West / Old (uh?) Asia setting? It was turn-based on an isometric grid, and there were spiders and zombies and whatnot. When I played it was in beta (or alpha maybe) and browser-playable.

I’d recommend checking out Qwirkle - it’s sorta like Scrabble but with shapes and colors — rows and columns of one-shape-different-colors or one-color-different-shapes, so that could fit the attention and focus question. Also you can skip the competition and just play to keep the pattern going, until he (maybe)…

I recommend following it up with Tokaido, a lovely game about Edo-period Japanese tourism. Least stressful competition ever!

Seems as good a time as any for this

And don’t forget!

There’s a great episode of Every Frame a Painting about Edgar Wright’s skill with visual comedy that makes ya really appreciate Hot Fuzz and the rest:

I wouldn’t give you the satisfaction.

For very different awkward transitional Luke-times, check out The Courtship of Princess Leia! For how bad the book is (it is VERY bad), it perhaps inadvertently nails the idea of Luke as a cocky Force convert who basically goes around saying “You know that’s bad for you right?” to anyone who’s not doing The Force his…

Half-Life 4 Life!!

A delightful history of the OUIJA board, including its dubious classification as a board game:

And don't forget C3PX!

Surely that's an Ikiru reference! Actually, Inuyashiki sounds like Ikiru made into a (cyborg) revenge fantasy, which sounds pretty dang entertaining.

Watch it Played is a really, really good board explanation channel, aimed at helping you decide if a game is good for you. It's also just a great model for how to craft a good explanation! Here's their video on Tokaido:

Long-time listener, first-time caller!

Hey, I live in Disappointment Town! It's really not so bad, once you get used to it. Honestly, after a while it's hard to think about living anywhere else.
