170: With My Noodlebob

170: With My Noodlebob

It's that time of a year again... E3. We bring you the hottest takes about what to expect at the show, which are usually... wrong. But it's fun anyway. More to the point, we get to explain what we, and hopefully by extension, what everyone else wants to see too. So strap in for the ride.

However, before that we still have Under Your Thumb to get to. Derek is back and Brian extents him the courtesy of going first. He's got Pokemon Fire Red on his plate, and playing it using the Nuzlocke Challenge. It's basically a way to make the game more challenging. To each their own. The real challenge is defending which is the correct starter Pokemon to choose. And by that it's always Charmander. Derek also played Detroit Become Human and MLB The Show '18. The latter of which we have a great tangent about what makes a great baseball game.

Next up is Brian. He tells us more about his playthough of Batman: The Telltale Series Season 2. I say playthough, but it's more of a watch though and occasionally press some buttons. Either way, he seems to enjoy it. Brian also has another mobile game, and in typical Brian fashion it's a movie game that tugs at the "heart strings." If you've ever been in a relationship (or even if you haven't), this is the game for you. But don't let me sell you on it, let Brian do that when you listen to him talk about Florence. It's $2.99, yet well worth it. Brian's final game this week is Mario Tennis Aces. He's a veteran of the series and lends his insight to explain what sets this game apart from previous titles. Some good and some bad, however what hasn't changed is the main tennis mechanics, and they are still very addicting and the game fun to play.

Anthony give us his take on Bloodbourne and helping his friend playthough it. They happen to bail, but it gave him a great opportunity to take care of things he didn't do in the game. Hey, sometimes things have a way of working out. His other game is Dark Souls Remastered. Brian lets out a sharp groan, probably because you can't just watch and press a button, but Anthony is unfazed and explains what he likes about a game he never played when it first arrived.

Lastly, Stephen is up and almost forgets that Brian wanted him to talk about 98 Cards again. The game that is sort of like Solitaire but really not at all like the game. It's still the only game in town.
