Episode 421: Pat the Yak

The Crate and Crowbar

Jamie and Marsh journey into the distant past in the hopes of forging an alternate timeline where the episode’s prologue makes sense. In doing so, they ponder the dark Drakes of Uncharted 4, the deranged doubts of LA Noire and the dream dogs of Bloodborne.

• Outlander references clearly do not possess the anticipated levels of cultural resonance.
• Uncharted 4 is a game about being frustratingly reasonable with friends and family, admiring broaches, and mowing down bazillions of enemies in stunning locations.
• LA Noire is a game about shouting unexpectedly at little old ladies, who may be lying, but are not lying in quite the right way.
• Bloodborne is a game of sick delirium and celestial terror that is somehow a lovely place to go back to.
