The Tangent - 120: The Future Of 2016

"Two can be as bad as one" Yet again, it's just Brian and Gary sitting at the table this week. It's the first full day of summer and some of us just have to hit the open ocean, even if one is the loneliest number. Anyway, we talk about games, and the first one up is Wolfenstein, and Gary is still having fun. That's good, because I'm pretty sure that's the point of a game. In the past, anyway. Today, who knows? Then he talks some Overwatch. Somehow this is still happening. Brian also ranked out something in gold. I think. Speaking of Brian, his game this week, Ever Oasis, is a "Brian" game through and through. It's a third-person action RPG where you're building an oasis and all NPC's can be in the party. Neat. Lastly, Stephen corrects the record on the iOS game Beat Stomper. Plus, some Animal Crossing N64 talk. Put it in Japanese. There's no Drunken News: Game Show Edition this week, again. We instead do a rapid fire of this week's news.
