Gamereel Episode 12: Fire Emblem: Crumbling Empire

We're coming at ya with our last backup episode! Here's a fun fact to distract you from the fact that this was recorded in the summer, clearly when we were still figuring out how to record remotely, this episode was recorded on Matt and Anika's birthday! That's right! Cassidy is the only host who doesn't share a birthday on this podcast. So sad. 

This week we talk about Fire Emblem, and craft a fully original tale of corrupt royalty, workers rising up, and magical amulets. 

Media referenced in this episode: Adventure Time, Ni no Kuni, Princess Mononoke 

Gamereel Episode 11: Dead by Daylight: The Killer Was Inside You All Along

If any of you listeners play Dead by Daylight, write in somehow and let us know what slasher character YOU want to be the next Dead by Daylight character. Cassidy personally wants the guy from Slumber Party Massacre 2 with the crazy drill guitar. 

This week we talk about Dead by Daylight, and craft a story of slasher characters, mystery, and mind freaks.

Gamereel Episode 10: DOOM: Mood of the Doom Guy

We're uploading an older episode this week because our hosts were a bit tied up during our usual record session last week. If we sound a little out of it in this episode keep in mind it was recorded when it was still hot outside and potentially just before the election. 

This week we discuss the ultra violent first person shooter known as DOOM, and craft a story of action, violence, and pure evil.
