So here's something a little different - usually I'd just upload clips of the podcast with a static image. This time, however, Nico and I discussed and deconstructed his... attempt at the newly released Bangkok mission of Hitman (the code for which Hamish received from Square Enix PR - Nico bought it though). He streamed it the previous night, so I took the footage from that and edited it so you had a proper visual example of everything we discuss.
Now I know the podcast is slightly different from the more formal videos I do, but it's so much fun for me to do, and I thought this was an interesting way of pushing the fact that hey, I do a podcast. If you guys enjoy it, that's a bonus and I appreciate it, but ultimately we do this for us.
That said, we do get into mechanical and design discussion, why this Hitman might end up subverting our expectations in terms of its narrative, and talk about why Hitman might be the Curb Your Enthusiasm of games. Hilarity ensues.
