Here's to one hundred more!

But besides marveling at the fact we hit triple digits, we actually talk about some spooky games because Halloween is right around the corner, including Control Resonant, Somnia Tenebris, Castlevania: Belmont's Curse, Clive Barker's Hellraiser: Revival, and Silver Pines.

I don't even know what to say after 100 of these.

If you like Fire Emblem, then you need to play Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave.

If you have a Nintendo Switch 2, then you need to play Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave.

If you like having fun at the premium price of $79.99 (Physical, on cartridge), then you need to play Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave.

Okay, so obviously we like the latest Fire Emblem, so much so that it has more or less managed to overshadow a pretty heavy release window these past couple of months. But seriously, it's a GoTY contender and helping to remind us that Nintendo is still a contender. And somehow we got past the MSRP, so you know it's got something going on.

Oh, and we played Orbitals and that was okay. It's hard to make games.

"Thank you for being Fabio
Traveled down to Dagsion and back again
Your heart's impure, you’re a jerk and a mutant too

And if you made me play four paths
Recruited everyone you knew
You would see, all the arena training would be for thee
And the card attached would say,
Thank you for being an A support"

Iced coffees at interviews, Ed Sheeran canceled, Macklemore comeback tour, KN95 lesbian bar, sports teams with the word "Hawk," and Super vs. Artificial.

Phew! Fed the Al Gore Rhythm so now people will know we are making some trenchant observations.

Anyway, Wolverine's mediocre but Onimusha is good, and in a topsy-turvy world where Capcom is on a heater and Sony is trying to convince us the words purchase and buy no longer mean ownership (if you're a "reasonable" consumer) maybe that can be enough. (Narrator: It turned out not be enough.)

Oh, and the new Silent Hill is fun in that "man, what a wacky place Europe must have been" kind of way. I mean, buying your electricity on a little plastic money card and going into the cupboard under the stairs to fund your energy? Blew my mind (literally a puzzle in the first hour and I think a higher difficulty if you're an unworldly slob like me). And if you cannot stomach horror-horror, Elderfield has you covered with cozy-horror.

Games we discuss include:

• Onimusha: Way of the Sword
• Marvel's Wolverine
• Welcome to Elderfield
• Silent Hill: Townfall
• Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave (but only briefly, since Porter said we had to wait.)
