Episode notes

A discussion about the history and success of the Alien Homited game series, starting from a flash game in 2002 to its latest installment. They compare it to Castle Crashers, explore the gameplay mechanics, multiplayer feature, and express their hopes for its success.

It's the special time of year when families gather together to eat turkey, watch football, and play video games. With perfect timing, two new local (and online) multiplayer treats have appeared on digital store shelves. We open the episode with Alien Hominid Invasion, a sequel of sorts to the beloved '00s Flash game Alien Hominid. For the B-segment, we bump and bounce around KarmaZoo, a beginner-friendly co-op game that allows for up to 10 players -- and features a special local multiplayer mode! Plus, we open the reader mail bag, then share a classic Ghibli movie and a bold Ghibli adaptation.
