Into the Aether - A Low Key Video Game Podcast

Oh man, as a huge fan of Tingle, let me tell you about Tingle Kiwami - it's a game that puts our favorite little green freak right smack in the middle of the Yakuza universe! And let me tell you, it's incredible! The world is super colorful and whimsical, and Tingle's unique personality and magical powers make the game feel like a fresh take on classic Yakuza gameplay. I had a blast using Tingle's dance moves to make friends, solve puzzles, and take down bad guys. Plus, the story is full of bloody twists and turns that kept me hooked, and the graphics and sound are totally on point. Discussed: Metroid Prime Remastered, Game Boy & Game Boy Advance, Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe, Sea of Stars, Octopath Traveler II---Find us everywhere: https://intothecast.onlineJoin the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/intothecast---Follow on Mastodon: https://theaether.space/@intothecastFollow on Tumblr: https://intothecast.tumblr.com---Follow Stephen Hilger: https://stephenhilgerart.com/Follow Brendon Bigley: https://theaether.space/@bbProduced by AJ Fillari: https://theaether.space/@aj---Season 5 Cover Art by Scout Wilkinson: https://scoutwilkinson.myportfolio.com/---Timecodes: (00:00) - Intro (01:01) - The spectre of the episode (02:02) - The crux of the episode // Last week's Nintento Direct (11:54) - Wii Punch out (12:14) - Jumping in! // Metroid Prime: Remastered (17:54) - Conceding to rumors (22:39) - Getting into this // GBC and GBA Virtual Consoles (38:03) - Dude, The Beetles?

The latest trend in fashion and aesthetic is a revival and revisiting of the arguable hit 2006 Dreamworks film Over the Hedge. With its whimsical characters, witty humor, and heartwarming storyline, people are starting to rediscover the charms of this animated classic. The film's aesthetic has become increasingly popular as people seek comfort in nostalgia and a return to simpler times. "Over the Hedge" is a charming and relatable film that seemingly has timeless appeal, and its reemergence as a cultural touchstone as "Hedge-Core" will continue to be a major trend in the coming months.Austin Walker on Forspoken: https://www.clockworkworlds.com/post-cringe/Discussed: Hi-Fi Rush, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call, Persona 4 Golden, Fire Emblem Engage, Marvel SNAP---Find us everywhere: https://intothecast.onlineJoin the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/intothecast---Follow on Mastodon: https://theaether.space/@intothecastFollow on Tumblr: https://intothecast.tumblr.com---Follow Stephen Hilger: https://stephenhilgerart.com/Follow Brendon Bigley: https://theaether.space/@bbProduced by AJ Fillari: https://theaether.space/@aj---Season 5 Cover Art by Scout Wilkinson: https://scoutwilkinson.myportfolio.com/---Timecodes: (00:00) - Intro (00:51) - There was an Xbox direct (02:25) - Talking about the layoffs (03:37) - A shadow (bass) drop // Hi-Fi RUSH (42:31) - Keepin' the rhythm train a-rollin'! // Theaterhythm: Curtain Call (54:13) - MORE video games?????!!! // Persona 3/4/5 (01:37:39) - That's it (01:45:42) - Wrapping up ---Thanks to all of our amazing patrons including our Eternal Gratitude members: | Evan B  | Robert L | min2 | Aaron G | Matthew S | Erik M | Brady H  | Joshua J | Tony L | Danny K | Shanna P | Seth MC | Adam B | Andy H | Demo | Maxwell L | Spiritofthunder | Jason W | Jason T | Corey T | Minnow Eats Whale | Caleb W | Jesse W | Mike T | Codes | Wesley | Erik B | Butterfly B | Gabe O | Lasse B | Jeff N | Sergio L | ninjadeathdog | Rory B | A42PoundMoose | Mr Andrew S | Peter | Stellar.Bees | Brendan K | Scott R | wreckx | Noah OR | Michael G | Arcturus  | Chris R | hepahe | Chase A | Anna | Nick Q | Chris M | RB | Karen H | Michaela W | Adam F | Scott H | Lauren H | Ben G | Therese K | jgprinters  | Matt H | Murray | Trevor B | David P | Jason K | Bede R | Kamrin H | Andrew D | Kyle S | Philip N ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★ Learn more about your ad choices.
