The Nextlander Podcast 197: Mind Your Ps and Es
Added 2025-05-01 00:17:44 +0000 UTCWe're awash in games this week with Skin Deep, Clair Obscur, the Marathon alpha, and a bunch of other stuff we're continuing to play. In the news, the cancelled Titanfall extraction shooter and more hardware makers like 8BitDo suspending shipments into the United States. Then an emails section flush with the straight scoop on subjects like being a Green Bay Packers shareholder, doing publicity for Banksy, the fate of the Antarctic N64, and more. That's a lot of podcast!

Comments
Regarding the Banksy doc-I was recently in Park City where it premiered at Sundance back in the day. There are several Bansky pieces around town which He/she/they did in secret during the screening. There’s even a Banksy route where you can walk and see them all.

2025-05-04 19:37:51 +0000 UTCIf you want another game out there that does some of the radiant AI stuff that Oblivion was doing that has come out more recently, I'll point you to Kingdom Come: Deliverance. It's really the only non-Elder Scrolls RPG that is trying to do the same thing.
