Look, I know there's a few PC Master Racers amongst our ranks, and I wanted to mend the bridge between us. So I ran a PC only Patreon Poll, and The Secret of Monkey Island took it down. I have to be honest, point & click games aren't my jam. But this one is so damned charming it almost makes up for that.






I can't imagine there's too many people listening to this show that don't know point & click games. Select commands like "open", "pick up", "use", and combine them with items on the screen to solve puzzles. I think some of the puzzles in Monkey Island a little tedious, but even with one eye I can see how people love this game. It really is funny, and the humour and clever writing offset the occasional frustration I experienced while trying to kill pirates with root beer.






One good monkey deserves another, so my guest this week is my buddy Daniel (Stpd_Mnky). He likes this game more than I do, and while we made not have felt the same way about the sword fighting system or how to make a soup or whatever the fuck it is with the cereal, we had a good time laughing at some of the dialogue and puzzles. And we're still not sure what the secret of said island is...






And before we point and click, I put together another edition of the Infamous Intro!






This week, we HAD to talk about the Switch 2. How do those of us that dislike multiplayer games get into them? And I love Bioshock, but how do I feel about the sequels??






Plus we play another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 PC classics: King's Quest VI, Day of the Tentacle, and Sam and Max.
