Over the past few months, we’ve brought up a phrase… a state of mind… a gamefeel with a certain joie de vivre… That’s right, I’m talking about the Spirit of Bumpin’. This week, we take a deep dive into what the hell the Spirit of Bumpin’ actually means and try to come up with some criteria to define it and representative games that embody it. Susan…

It’s Dragons & Dragons week here at Continue Podcast. First, we dive into Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake, where each of the hosts have a different take on the game’s uniquely languid pace. Then, it’s back to Dragon Age: The Veilguard, where Susan holds it up to the rest of the BioWare canon after finally finishing it off after 75 hours of play. If you…

This week, we discuss three of the (many) big RPGs out this season: how Metaphor ReFantazio attempts to balance the familiar with the new, how Dragon Age: Veilguard is basically Diet Bioware, and how Ys X: Nordics fails to live up to the series’ legacy of bumpin’.

For Halloween this year, we took a different, goofier, more laser cube-filled route than previous commentary episodes. That’s right, we’re watching Paul. W.S. Anderson’s magnum opus – the 2002 schlock classic Resident Evil. Join us as we wait a while for the zombies to show up, and listen as we discuss the importance of 2am cheese-eating rituals. I…

This week, we talk about how Uforia: The Saga 2’s grating soundtrack ruins an otherwise pleasant game, how Darkest Dungeon 2’s approach to its characters makes suffering with them that much more fun, and how Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure cleverly breaks up its brain-busting puzzles into bite-sized chunks.

This week, Anthony summoned the power of Grayskull and brought forth a commentary track for Cannon Film Group’s 1987 cult classic Masters of the Universe. David and Susan aren’t quite sure what the power of Grayskull even is (or why He-Man is apparently barely even in the movie that’s about him) but Anthony’s sure to explain in great detail. If you…
