E72 | Detours in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Super Mario RPG Remake

E73 | Familiarity in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart

This week as we wrap up our time with the game, I'm talking about the way that familiarity with Star Wars and the prequel, Fallen Order, helps to enhance but not consume Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1774580/STAR_WARS_Jedi_Survivor/ [https://store.steampowered.com/app/1774580/STAR_WARS_Jedi_Survivor/]). Also, I tried Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1895880/Ratchet__Clank_Rift_Apart/ [https://store.steampowered.com/app/1895880/Ratchet__Clank_Rift_Apart/]) for the first time and really enjoyed getting to go back to this series that I haven't played in a while. Last but not least, this week I'm recommending the software known as PrimeHack (https://metroid.fandom.com/wiki/PrimeHack [https://metroid.fandom.com/wiki/PrimeHack]) which lets players take their existing copies of the Metroid Prime games and take them to another level on modern hardware. As always, I'd love to chat about any of these things, so hit me up on X (https://x.com/Game_Club_Pod [https://x.com/Game_Club_Pod]) and let's have a conversation!  Theme music: Chiptune Loop 100 BPM by komit.wav -- https://freesound.org/s/399325/ [https://freesound.org/s/399325/] -- License: Creative Commons 0

E72 | Detours in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Super Mario RPG Remake

This week I'm talking about the ways that Jedi: Survivor (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1774580/STAR_WARS_Jedi_Survivor/ [https://store.steampowered.com/app/1774580/STAR_WARS_Jedi_Survivor/]) has players detour more extensively from the main path than Fallen Order did. I also tried out the 2023 Super Mario RPG Remake (https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/super-mario-rpg-switch/ [https://www.nintendo.com/us/store/products/super-mario-rpg-switch/]) for the Nintendo Switch, which ended up being more fun than I expected! Last but certainly not least, this week I'm recommending the fan decompilation project known as Dusklight (https://twilitrealm.dev/ [https://twilitrealm.dev/]), which takes an existing copy of Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and gives it a modern coat of paint! As always, I'd love to chat about any of these things, so hit me up on X (https://x.com/Game_Club_Pod [https://x.com/Game_Club_Pod]) and let's chat about it!  Theme music: Chiptune Loop 100 BPM by komit.wav -- https://freesound.org/s/399325/ [https://freesound.org/s/399325/] -- License: Creative Commons 0

E71 | Improvements in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and MOTORSLICE

This week I wanted to take a look at some of the ways that Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1774580/STAR_WARS_Jedi_Survivor/ [https://store.steampowered.com/app/1774580/STAR_WARS_Jedi_Survivor/]) improves on its predecessor, with some very small and some larger changes made from Fallen Order. I also tried out MOTORSLICE (https://store.steampowered.com/app/2830030/MOTORSLICE/ [https://store.steampowered.com/app/2830030/MOTORSLICE/]), which was recently released and combines some decent combat and parkour in a small game. Last but not least, this week I'm recommending the comedy crime show Psych (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0491738 [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0491738]) which first aired 20 years ago! As always, I'd love to get your thoughts on any of these things, so hit me up on X (https://x.com/Game_Club_Pod [https://x.com/Game_Club_Pod]) and let's chat!  Theme music: Chiptune Loop 100 BPM by komit.wav -- https://freesound.org/s/399325/ [https://freesound.org/s/399325/] -- License: Creative Commons 0

E70 | Connections in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Pragmata

This week I'm talking about some of the connections that are made between characters in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1774580/STAR_WARS_Jedi_Survivor/ [https://store.steampowered.com/app/1774580/STAR_WARS_Jedi_Survivor/]) and contrasting it a little with the first game. I also tried the demo for Pragmata (https://store.steampowered.com/app/3357650/PRAGMATA/ [https://store.steampowered.com/app/3357650/PRAGMATA/]) and really enjoyed what I played of the game, even if it's an incomplete picture of the entire experience. Last but not least, this week I'm recommending Proxmox (https://www.proxmox.com/en/ [https://www.proxmox.com/en/]), which is great software for managing and creating virtual machines for homelab setups. (Yes, I am that nerd.) As always, I'd love to chat about any of the things that I talked about in this episode, so hit me up on X (https://x.com/Game_Club_Pod [https://x.com/Game_Club_Pod]) and let's have a conversation!  Theme music: Chiptune Loop 100 BPM by komit.wav -- https://freesound.org/s/399325/ [https://freesound.org/s/399325/] -- License: Creative Commons 0

E69 | Star Wars Jedi: Survivor and Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening

For the month of May I'll be playing Star Wars Jedi: Survivor (https://store.steampowered.com/app/1774580/STAR_WARS_Jedi_Survivor/ [https://store.steampowered.com/app/1774580/STAR_WARS_Jedi_Survivor/]), which is the sequel to one of the games I most enjoyed playing last year. This will be fun! New this week is also Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (https://zelda.nintendo.com/links-awakening/ [https://zelda.nintendo.com/links-awakening/]) which is a beautiful remake of the 1993 Game Boy game. Classic Zelda gameplay, modern visual style! Last but not least, this week I'm recommending the book Star Wars Jedi: Battle Scars (https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Jedi-Battle-Scars/dp/B0B9T79MCP [https://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Jedi-Battle-Scars/dp/B0B9T79MCP]) for fans of Fallen Order who want to get a look at events that connect the two Jedi games. As always, I'd love to have a conversation about any of the things I talked about in the podcast this week, so hit me up on X (https://x.com/Game_Club_Pod [https://x.com/Game_Club_Pod]) and let's chat!  Theme music: Chiptune Loop 100 BPM by komit.wav -- https://freesound.org/s/399325/ [https://freesound.org/s/399325/] -- License: Creative Commons 0
