Ready Player 2

Welcome back to RP2-Continue? Rich isn't here today (we might have eaten him), so Lee, Ross, and El are taking the reins to catch up on what we’ve been playing, making, and fixing. Talking retro consoles to start, (because no episode is complete without discussing the relics in our attics), and what begins as a chat about upcoming releases somehow ends with something extremely unpleasant emerging from beneath an oil rig. Strap in for a smorgasbord of pitstops of upcoming games and beloved classics.In this episode, we dive into the nostalgia of chunky retro handhelds like the original Game Boy and the PSP, and Lee shows off a very cool PC Engine Briefcase repair project alongside a custom ZX81 mechanical keyboard.Lee also does a taste test of some questionable Japanese snacks  (yes, Lee actually ate "Creamy Colon" and accidentally got buzzed on whiskey jellies). On the gaming front, El is bursting at the seams with upcoming gaming news, and ends up waxing lyrical about the immaculate, terrifying vibes of Still Wakes the Deep.While Ross takes us on a nostalgia trip with the 90s-infused indie game Mixtape and drifts around Mount Fuji in Forza. Games discussed include: Still Wakes the Deep, Silent Hill: Townfall, God of War: Laufey, Alien: Fireteam 2, Alien: Isolation 2, Until Dawn 2, Forza, Spyro, Gundam, Rayman, and a whole lot more.Swears included free of charge. Subscribe, comment, and let us know what's on your radar.—Chapters:0:00 - Intro: Where is Rich?2:00 - The Golden Era of Retro Handhelds (Game Boy, PSP & Hand Cramps)9:30 - Taste Testing: Creamy Colon & Whiskey Jellies12:30 - Lee’s Workshop: PC Engine Briefcase & ZX81 Keyboard18:00 - Gaming News: Until Dawn 2, Alien Isolation, and Silent Hill24:00 - El Reviews Still Wakes the Deep31:00 - Ross Plays Mixtape & Forza47:00 - Outro & Social LinksFollow the Hosts:Lee: Catch more hardware repairs and projects over on More Fun Making It and More Fun Fixing It.

The gang's back. New episode number, same old chaos. Rich, Ross, Lee, and El return with games ranging from a ZX Spectrum relic to a brand new Silent Hill, via medieval Bohemia and the American frontier. It's been a while. We've missed you. Swears included.Lee goes full retro with ZX Spectrum classic Atic Atac, Rich has been living his best medieval life in Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, Ross deviates from his usual sportsball titles and saddles up with Red Dead Redemption II (yes, really), and El has unsurprisingly been haunting the horrors of Silent Hill F.Got a game we simply must see?
