    PnP Mini 2 - Boons and Busts feat. Slay The Spire.
    Apr 3 2023
    Once you have two, it's a pattern, right? This month in PnP mini we talk about how Slay The Spire tries to get you to take on boons that are just as likely to bust your run later. In contrast, we also talk about how the "Great Force" power up in Mario and Luigi: SuperStar Saga taunts you to take double damage to deal double damage, and how that encourages you to play the game more as intended.

    Rant 6 - Bleed 1&2
    Sep 18 2022
    We love games here at Plat and Pit, but a lot is going on right now for us, so we are unable to craft our regular shows for a while. In the meantime though, we would still like to make some things, so we will have these bonus rants for a while on all sorts of topics that might not suit our usual format. For our sixth (and hopefully final) one of these, we look at Bleed 1 and 2, some really neat and special games Rinoa and Blue just think are neat.

For our fifth one of these, we look at the new Melty Blood's UI, and give a small bonus history lesson too!

    Rant 4 - Collectables
    Jul 30 2022
    We love games here at Plat and Pit, but a lot is going on right now for us, so we are unable to craft our regular shows for a while. In the meantime though, we would still like to make some things, so we will have these bonus rants for a while on all sorts of topics that might not suit our usual format. For our fourth one of these, we look at collectables and expectations in games, featuring the excellent Grapple Dog and its exceptionally minor flaw.

    We love games here at Plat and Pit, but a lot is going on right now for us, so we are unable to craft our regular shows for a while. In the meantime though, we would still like to make some things, so we will have these bonus rants for a while on all sorts of topics that might not suit our usual format. For our third one of these, we are looking at the history of rush tactics in RTS and FPS games with our dear friend Andy (@andysaurAUS).

    We love games here at Plat and Pit, but a lot is going on right now for us, so we are unable to craft our regular shows for a while. In the meantime though, we would still like to make some things, so we will have these bonus rants for a while on all sorts of topics that might not suit our usual format. For our second one of these, we are looking at the idea of media literacy and how it impacts both how we play and what we play.

    We love games here at Plat and Pit, but a lot is going on right now for us, so we are unable to craft our regular shows for a while. In the meantime though, we would still like to make some things, so we will have these bonus rants for a while on all sorts of topics that might not suit our usual format. Our first one looks at everyone’s favourite game, Dark Souls, and the reputation it’s developed as unplayably hard.
