Fake Bands

Here at Halftone Takes, we love a fake band. From Powerline to Sex Bob-omb, we just have a grand ol' time whenever these goobers show up on screen.

Grunt Doubles, ft. Scott Whyte

Voice Actor Scott Whyte groans about his job. Turns out efforts are a lot of effort! There's invisible layers of sound design that go into the media we love, and we hope to get a little glimpse into the work that goes in behind the scenes. Watch Scott do efforts for an action scene in Venom! [https://youtu.be/W02Q63vAeLY] Follow Halftone Takes on Instagram! [https://www.instagram.com/halftonetakes] Check out Adam's games!

Reviews, Recommendations, & Indie Games

There's more media than anyone could consume in a lifetime. In this episode, Adam interviews Cory about reviews & recommendations. How do you discover what to play next? How seriously should you take it when someone recommends something? And what if someone recommends something that isn't for you? We also talk about Cory's relationship to indie games and how Adam kinda poisoned that well for a long time. Oops! Follow Halftone Takes on Instagram!
