The thrilling conclusion to our Spooky Games Month: Still Wakes the Deep aka Still Haunts Our Nightmares.
Somehow we convinced ourselves that this game was totally gunna be like Dear Esther. And well... you prolly know how this is about to go. Luckily we had each other's company to help guide us through.

This week we go on an adventure... into Shakespearian play?
(Also we open this week with some Keenan story telling beef for the hardcore)

Now this game is something like you've never seen before. What an absolute banger out of nowhere. MUST PLAY IF YOU LIKE ARTSY BS.
If you don't know what this game is, the trailer will help you be correctly confused (but intrigued) as to what this game is.
Many tracks are really interesting on the soundtrack but here is one McCoy's been Jamming on. It's like Dark Trap music. Here is one Zoe linked and said it's just odd this is part of the game.

We back and instead of James being sick it's McCoy! Let's Go!
Also check out the Game List for October aka Spooky Games Month:
IndikaFelvidekStill Wakes the DeepEditor McCoy's Note on the Release Schedule:
Ok, so listen we started recording on Tuesday so I edit on Wednesday and release on Thursday. Does this work for you? If you need me to make a release on Wednesday morning we can talk about it. It's just like, more work and more turn around and like, listen... aren't you just happy there is an episode this week at all? It's a low bar but we cleared it.
-
There is literally no way anyone remembers how to do any of this right. Grace is requested.
And also, we back baby.
And also, what a game.
-
"Elden Ring is done."
- McCoy, 2024
Could such words be real? Tune in for an extremely worn-down set of travelers who are finally ready to put their foolish ambitions to rest.
-
We finally dive into the long-awaited Elden Ring DLC and boy do we have a variety of experiences. Did you know that Gabe plays this game on NG+7? Holy mother of god. He gives some advice on whether or not he thinks that's a good call (Spoilers: He does not).
We also talk a bit about the community reaction, which while it started off incredibly positive has fallen to "mixed" in the one week since launch.
-
The podcast today starts with a conundrum:
What podcast to Re-Release this week between Control and Dear Esther?
Starting off you get a reflective contemplative editor McCoy trying to solve that problem live on air. He comes in a little "I got this" and ends "Ok, I got a bit humbled and I totally didn't have this". It's a nice journey that ends up delivering some presence, some value, some stories, and overall just proves Editor McCoy deserves his own podcast.
Also, forgive the audio quality, you have no idea the production setup required to make this episode work back in the day, and also... I was young and didn't know what I was doing back then. I still don't know what I'm doing now, but I'm not young anymore.
-
The long-awaited sequel to Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice is finally here and we've re-released enough content to figure out how to align our schedules and lives to play it together. Join us for a rather illuminating discussion of the themes of this game, that at least I can say, leveled me up a lot compared to when I had just finished it and was sorta wondering what the heck was going on.
Also, editor McCoy, who essentially barely existed before the re-release era, is now sad as he looks ahead and realizes there isn't as much space for him as there once was.
-
Editor McCoy takes a backseat to a busy life this week and mostly gets out of the way for an awesome Re-Release of Elden Ring's Seamless Coop Mod. If you like Elden Ring, you've got to at least hear what this mod had to offer. I can't begin to explain how impactful on our entire crew this was.
Also, just a kind note to those playing or planning to play Senua's Saga II. The opening to that game is intense so be sure to give yourself time before bed. I know I wasn't sleeping after that. Yikes.
-
So, if the first Elden Ring Re-Release was here is how it all started then this time it's here is how it all ended.
-
It's time.

Be sure to check out Instagram because Elena only knows one type of content and that's pure🔥! (Also she gives more real-time updates on how much we are throwing the schedule)
Tentative Schedule:
We got a plan from helpful folks over at the Disco Elysium subreddit... and it's gone. That's to say, we've had to make small adjustments for life reasons but we are marching forward...
Week 1: Play days 1
Week 2: Play until you get into the next landmass and meet some characters. A nice taster.
Week 3: Some went off into sidequests, some yolo'ed the main story. But one thing is for sure, the divergence is real in this section.
Week 4: It's time to dive into the story if you have been avoiding it. It's time.
Week 5: We close it out, boys. The sun is setting and it's scary out here in the night.
General tips that the community wanted to share as we dive in:
Always keep one skill point on hand to unlock white checks at all times, otherwise you can softlock yourself accidentally.Make sure you're able to pay for your room on Day 2 with 20 réal or you will be softlocked.Don't look up spoilers and embrace failed checks! -
While we attempt the final lap for Disco Elysium this week, we leave you with a time capsule of when Elden Ring first came out. While not forever ago, it feels like a different world.
-
This week, we actually start to get into the main story. And that means we start to pull at the threads of what felt just moments ago like a fully cohesive tapestry of everyone's alibi... but wait.... was that a lie? What does that mean?

While we take our sweet time with Disco, enjoy a legendary episode from our archives in preparation for Senua's Sacrifice 2.
I'll leave you with a quote that's been resonating with me from Disco Elysium this week as we've been digging into the main story more...
But you would still prefer if we didn't take her away?
That's right, if we didn't take care of the people who end up here, this place would just be a couple of ruins and some cargo containers

This week, after some light hiatus in our actual real lives, we dive back into Disco Elysium. Where we both enjoy the game and discuss how like... you know... how hard it is to pick up a game like this after putting it down.

We've never re-released an episode before, be gentle. McCoy was afraid but James was fearless.
We'll be back for more Disco Elysium next week and with more exciting news on those Insulindian Phasmids
