For Jim Ambuske, a dram of Cragganmore 12 instantly takes him back to Edinburgh, where he's spent many months hunting American Revolutionaries in the archives.

They used maps like John Mitchell’s 1755 work A Map of the British and French Dominions in North America to figure out what separated the United States from what remained of British America in Canada.

Everybody's Talking At OnceEmotional Survival, with Paula Rogers and Vincent PereaNeo Cab is the debut game from Chance Agency, about the last human rideshare cabbie in an aggressively automated, vertically integrated, near-future California city. In this episode, Vincent Perea discusses the game's visuals (a masterclass in scale, scope, and focus), and Paula Rogers discusses the game's writing process (which, by design, more closely resembled a TV writers' room than a traditional game pipeline). More than that, both talk about how Neo Cab's various elements are inextricably linked, the challenges of character-focused narratives—and of extensive branching—and the fertile grounds of richly simulating characters' emotions.

Jordan Thomas hides out with us to talk about The Blackout Club. It’s a game that is at once an “infinite meaning machine” and an authored narrative, a game about “extremely rewarding movement” but not “physical combat with a clear victor,” an early access experience that shares much of the appeal of ARGs, but not an ARG as such—and being a horror co-op game about teenagers, it’s scary and it’s funny; it’s cosmic-horror-vast and it’s small-town-intimate.
