What have we got in our digital pocketses
This week saw the first (small) look at the new and upcoming Hobbit-themed cosy life simTales Of The Shire, plus the news that Embracer group is splitting into three,including a Middle-earth And Friendsgroup. We thus use this as an excuse to spend some time talking about The Lord Of The Rings games we’d like to see, plus our favourite Rings games from days gone by (and also Gollum, and also we do impressions of Gollum).
Nate has been playing an impressive number of games, including one that did not allow him to invent the stick and therefore hampered his progress. We also talk about AI NPCs again, because one of them tried to get James drunk. Plus: some lovely recommendations to round off your weekly pod (one of them is a long life meat product).
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.
