Fill your boots
This week the Electronic Wireless Showpodcastdiscusses some of our favourite (and least favourite) inventory configurations. A humble beast, the inventory, yet a feature of many games - sometimes even a necessity. Often we only notice one if it’s terrible. But boy, a good inventory is worth a dozen mules. So lets talk about them today!
In other news this week, Nate thinks he has come up with an original premise for a Pixar film, only to discover he has invented Seth Rogan’s nightmare film Sausage Party, and we are officially starting our campaign to get Henry ‘Vitamin H’ Cavill on the show. We will be mentioning him every week from now on. Plus: what we like doing on our birthdays, school plays, and pro-wrestling adaptations of Dickens.
You can listen above, or onon Spotify,iTunes,Stitcher, orPocket Casts. You can find theRSS feed here, and you can discuss the episodeon our Discord channel, which has a dedicated room for podcast chat.
Music is by Jack de Quidt.
LinksNate really likes the carrier bags inNEO Scavenger, which are bags that you can uncrumple to hold yet more bags!
Matthew likes the sentient luggage in the Discworld point ‘n’ click adventure game, as well as the flasher coat inAlone In The Dark.
We do not like the text list inSkyrim, or the weird vault that you teleport to inFable 3, that being haunted by a butler with the voice of John Cleese.
I cheat by mentioningWilmot’s WarehouseandMoonlighter, both of which are games about organising inventories.
Shout out toThe Lego Ankh-Morpork project.
