We met up at PAX East 2013 and recorded this podcast under the duress of Joe’s paint peeling, plant withering, milk curdling flatulence. It was super great! Join us as we gasp for air and talk about Slippery Weasels, Guacamelee, Super Time Force, Mercenary Kings, Dive Kick, Quadrilateral Cowboy, The Leap, Shovel Knight, Watch_Dogs, and a bunch of other stuff.

Yes, we have our very own stream, that will be broadcast on regularly by us and some of our favorite cohorts and regulars including Paul “Morbid Coffee” Norman, Nick Rycar and others! We’ll post a heads-up on twitter (@onthestick) whenever the stream is about to go live. Shenanigans! Videogames! Other stuff maybe! Check it out!
Syndicate developed by Starbreeze Studios
Syndicate is the story of Miles Kilo, a corporate agent in a dystopian future where nation-states have been replaced by super corporations. Citizens have been replaced with shareholders. Those who can’t afford to buy in to the future that these corporations are providing are left behind. Miles’ work consists of extracurricular activities – espionage, disruption, etc. The background in the game is not too different from the corporate dystopians you and I have read before. There are some spoilers here, so if you haven’t played the game yet, you’ve been warned.
While at PAX East 2013, Kurt spent some time wandering around with a field recorder documenting his conversations with various folks at the show. Since this is his first time trying this, the sound quality isn’t the greatest, but hopefully the content makes up for it.
