When New Is Old and Old Is New: An Animal Crossing: New Horizons Review | Attack the Backlog

It's a sad day when you return to a series you once loved only to find out that love is no more. That was the case for me and Animal Crossing: New Horizons. You may be wondering, "Is it my fault or the game's fault?" The answer isn't that simple; the answer is both and neither. Ultimately, some things change and some things don't and this just happened to be a case where those that changed no longer aligned with those that didn't. But don't just take my word for it, take my video (and audio) too, why don't you.

Sweating Maple Syrup to Help You Spaghetti-Hair Folk Cheer Up | The Pixelated Sausage Show

This is a pretty "whatever" episode. The intro goes on and on about this, that, and (mostly) nothing--emphasis on the nothing--with a small break for one game before ending with a dumb question from Enchy, making up for their great question last week. Anyway and as always, thank you for watching or listening, I hope you enjoy this here episode, and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful rest of your day.

When Gettin' Slimed Is a Good Time: A Slime Rancher Review | Attack the Backlog

You know a game is special when you can take a break for years and return as if no time had passed at all. That was my experience with Slime Rancher, a game about sucking up slimes and spitting them into little prisons so you can force feed them until they shit their figurative pants, all so you can take that shit and sell it on the poo, I mean, plort market. There is, of course, more to it than just that--a bit of farming, a bit of exploring, a bit of breeding, and a bit of "choring"--but it’s incredibly simple at its core, a game that's easy to get lost in and keep playing for just a little more. But don't just take my word for it, take my video (and audio) too, why don't you.

The Core Problem with Armageddon | The Pixelated Sausage Show

Continuing with the nothing trend, Marc spends much of this episode talking about, well, nothing, including how they haven't touched their Polymega since the first time they used it and how Ben Affleck in Armageddon and most podcast hosts are the same person. After all that and a bit of an update about the site, Marc manages to find some time for games, including Backfirewall_, Watch Over Christmas, and The Redress of Mira. Anyway and as always, thank you for watching or listening, I hope you enjoy this here episode, and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful rest of your day.

The Seinfeld Episode, aka, The One About Nothing | The Pixelated Sausage Show

This episode is mostly about nothing, until it isn't. After spending a fair amount of time talking about the future direction of Attack the Backlog and the site in general (along with some random movie and show talk--Voyager says hi) Marc hits a few games and then wrap things up with Patreon questions, including the age old question of, "Would you rather have sandpaper hands, or only be able to eat what you hunt/gather yourself?" Anyway and as always, thank you for watching or listening, I hope you enjoy this here episode, and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful rest of your day.

Thor 4: Dumb and Dumber | The Pixelated Sausage Show

Somehow, Thor: Love and Thunder managed to be worse than I ever could have expected, while Farscape has been a roller coaster of great, forgettable, okay, bad, and, "Oh my god...what am I even watching?!" Not to be outdone, PERISH perished under the weight of its own unsatisfying loop, while Sissa's Path impressed with its puzzle design Albacete Warrior did its best Fight Club impression--in other words, we don't talk about Albacete Warrior. Anyway and as always, thank you for watching or listening, I hope you enjoy this here episode, and I hope you have a wonderful wonderful rest of your day.
