"The Dagger of Amon Ra"... I played that for the first time about 30 years ago. It was interesting to cross daggers with someone who has only recently played it for the first time 😉
Want a clip of a future episode? If you said no, I'm going to disappoint you! Myself, @adventgamepod.bsky.social and @little-writer.bsky.social talk about The Dagger of Amon-Ra and I raise the question of whether it's the FFVIII of Sierra Games...

I *loved* @collegefungames.mastodon.gamedev.place.ap.brid.gy's The Protagonish.
They have a new game spoofing Les Miserables starting soon, and their kickstarter is due to start soon:

Since this post was made, I've now recorded two episodes, and have two more scheduled to record.

New episodes to come!

Who/what games do you want the podcast to cover next? Let me know!
I resolve to try and use Bluesky more. Because why not. I used to like using The Old Microblogging place to ramble.

Anyway NEW EPISODES ARE COMING IN 2026! I'm have recordings booked. People interested in being guests. Gonna batch record as many eps I can before releasing more.

So why not join and say hello! Talk about what you are playing - or what music you're into!

My report from AdventureX, the UK's narrative gaming expo, is up!

There's LOADS of chat with big adventure game creators on their NEW GAMES, including Charles Cecil, Dave Gilbert & Jon Ingold!

And I do ask Charles if Broken Sword 3 will ever get remastered😄!

What this means, is that poor Villainy has to suffer me quoting Murray for hours.
I may or may not be gushing about this, my favourite game of all time, with @askusaboutloom.bsky.social in January... 👀
Very excited! 🙈

Finished (got 2 out of 4 endings) of @duckmadeofwood.bsky.social's "D3AD HAND" and it's DLC "R3D STAR".

I've not known a DLC be about six times larger than the original game, but with D3ad Hand you play as Yuri, a solider in the Russian army who is stationed in a bunker to monitor nuclear weapons.

I've been musing about creating a Discord for Ask Us About Loom, because the Internet needs another discord server. But inspired by the Save Your Game/Mutant Menace joint server I've just extended the @pickadisc.bsky.social one to have channels for the podcast!

Potentially related to that post about the recordings I'm doing - anyone have thoughts on The Dig and/or The Dagger of Amon Ra? Like/Dislike?

Hey - who is recording TWO episodes of the podcast this week? This guy! *points thumbs at self*

I mean, it'd be a bit weird if I wasn't involved. Might be an improvement to the podcast, but weird.
