Episode 5: Dear Minerva

May 21, 2013


This week on the ‘cast, Adam and myself go over the finer points of Dear Esther and talk about how, man, we really just don’t understand it at all. After grasping for epiphanies, we turn our attention to the less cerebral of the games we cover this week: Minerva.  Make note of it on your calendars, for this game is the first to divide the opinions of your lovely podcasting duo.  Turn on your ears and let us know who you agree with.  (Totally me, don’t lie.)


Besides the aforementioned duo of Source mods, we also talk about:



  • Nintendo and their continually changing E3 tactics
  • YouTube’s new policy concerning ad revenue on Let’s Play videos
  • EA’s distaste for the Wii U and changing business tactics
  • Warren Spector’s School for Gifted Not-So-Youngsters

As Roberto Durán would say, no más.  Like usual, the MP3 is below for your easy listening.  That being said, we’d appreciate it if you would check us out on iTunes.  And since you’re checking us out already, why not mosey over to Facebook and like us there, as well as follow us on Twitter?  Perhaps not this week, but in the coming weeks we will have our look at the Oculus Rift, so make sure you know where that YouTube channel is located. If you’re somehow not tired of clicking links by this point, go ‘head and click this last one and drop us a line!
