We kick off with a bit of a discussion of the history of iPhones models and the ups and downs of the Apple products, and how we feel phone technology has stagnated and the need to upgrade is less required. We also discuss other modern devices. 

Skazz has been playing Scarlet Nexus an action rpg with psychic power fighting the strange ‘others’, you play two characters with separate stories with an interwoven plot

Ram has moved on from being a hospital administrator to being in charge of a university with Two Point Campus (yes he gets the name wrong), charging students lots of money for sub par facilities including sharing beds and sink-less bathrooms.

Zaber talks about Rocket League, a football like game featuring cars and rockets, Also featuring a not often seen split screen mode, It was a favorite in the Zabermoul house, but an update require each player to have a profile and no guest accounts has caused some consternation.

Zaber has also been playing Star Wars Jedi Survivor, last years sequel to Fallen order, an third person action adventure game that he started to scratch the surface of and will return to on a future podcast

Ram has been eating people and smacking fish in Maneater, playing as a Shark on a revenge quest for her mother. Simple fun thrashing and killing fish, alligators, other sharks and people. As well as avoiding hunters, its a very simple and ok game but is quite fun.

We also learn Danish with Zaber, as well an alternative version of his name, Ram loses what little street cred he had,

Welcome to episode 237

We kick off with discussing Valentine’s Day, traditionally a day for spoiling the ladies, and we find out Denmark has a special day to follow up for the guys. it doesn’t quite have the same romantic name, we also find out Zaber would not skip games night for love.

Ram gives us a little bit of background on the concept of prepper’s, people getting prepared for the worst case scenarios but stocking up on supplies and building bunkers. This brings onto what he’s been playing in Mr Prepper. You have to build a bunker, scavane or trade supplies and maintain a facade for the oppressive government agents. All to get to the end goal of escaping from the country. The game has been generally well received and has some neat ideas, but Ram feels it lets itself down with a grinding slog to get what you need and not being partially hard.

Zaber has been playing a horror game called Little Nightmares, playing as a small girl trying to navigate through puzzle’s with stealth to escape a nightmarish world filled with mutated people. Short but sweet and looks amazing.

Ram has been continuing making use of his free trial of Apple TV by watching For All Mankind, an alternative timeline tv series where the Russians won the race to moon, kicking off a space race with time jumps between seasons spanning it over several decades.

We also discussed the now deceased game streaming service Stadia and how elite we were at Pubg.
