The Electronic Wireless Show podcast S2 Episode 13: it's time time

Between a clock and a hard place

Between the spooky reality tears ofOxenfree II: Lost Signalsand the chrono-bending clue hunts ofCrime O’Clock, we at the Electronic Wireless Showpodcasthave had time travel on the brain. Clever game mechanic, or narrative copout? Maybe both? Maybe neither? Or maybe it’s just a reason for Nate and I to gush aboutTitanfall 2’s singleplayer campaign while Alice considers the temporal implications of save scumming. To know the answer, you yourself must travel back to the past, specifically Tuesday, when we recorded it.

Also in this episode: lightsaber noises connoting degrees of satisfaction, a bald man is sad (not me this time), and shoutouts to some of our favourite reader-created metaphors. Plus, in hardware news, I relay word of amost devious AMD Ryzen 7000 CPU fault, before Nate hosts an appropriately time-displaced Tower of Jocularity in feudal Japan, testing our PC game knowledge through the eternal medium of haiku.
