How big is a game? How small is it? These questions are a matter of perspective, and Superluminal is here to teach you about perspective.

The film that nobody asked for, and yet all we have left are questions. One thing the film certainly doesn't leave misunderstood: that sand? That's time sand. Not that the* prince uses it much.

2025-01-07 07:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostThought you saw the last of me, did you? Well, I've got news for you. Just because Exquisite Suffering is retiring doesn't mean you don't get to vote in these silly polls. In fact, it is now mandatory.
The winner will be covered on the final Abject Suffering of the month.

You likely don’t know what Spider-Man: City Raid is. It’s not a big budget title like the the Activision movie tie-ins or the recent Insomniac titles. In fact, it has no official license at all. It’s a Flash game made purely for the love of Spider-Man, and the Ram Jam song “Black Betty”...

This week we find the very hidden entrance to a very hidden path to a very hidden area. Shadow Keep hides a way to reach the Recluse’s River, which is the warpath that the hornsent inquisition took to bring great force to bear on Midra in the Abyssal Woods. Along the way we will complete our fi...

Casltevania evolves into the nest generation. This is the last hurrah of the Classic-vanias. Demanding platforming, simple progression. Dare we say we prefer them over the RPG-vanias at this point?

This week we talk about the little-known PS2 game adaptation of Home Alone, a Christmas classic that was already super old in 2006 when this came out. But honestly, there’s very little there to talk about. Instead, we camp out on the taxonomical horror of a picture of corndogs Gary took ten yea...

The hands of the cosmos have many fingers, and all of their movements tell a story. But what that story means is up for interpretation. And this week we venture to the Cathedral of Manus Metyr and meet a very strange man named Count Ymir, who claims to have knowledge of the true nature of the Gre...

In this episode we… "do some butt-kicking for righteous justice". Wait, is that right?

Well, we can't actually do Project Snowblind.
Last year, I put this game on the schedule because of the Deus Ex connection, and because I had vaguely fond memories of playing the PS2 version. Playing the PC port was acceptably janky up until level 3 or so, when I was beset by constant cra...
This one's just for you, our dear Patrons.
We suck up our enemies and absorb their powers in this early, but charming Kirby adventure.

Merry Christmas! Oops. I mean, Happy New Year! It's Gremlins 2, the cartoon that walks like a horror movie. Joe Dante presents a gag-a-minute comedy in a rare example of complete creative control working out beautifully.

What is the meaning of Inspector Gadget? Is he basically a cyberzombie, which would explain the bungling? In which ball is the essence stored? This mostly on-topic episode is not afraid to ask the important and hard-hitting questions about this awful metal man.

In this episode we lose it all to the Lady of Loss at The House of Grief.
Other Segments:

Of all the crazy stuff that happens in Season 5, making meth inside a pest control house is the one that gets my vote for most outlandish. Still pretty good TV, though.

Reign of Fire is the kind of movie you can’t make anymore, and that’s a good thing. It’s the perfect storm of post-9/11 militarism, and post-Lord of the Rings fantasy bandwagon chasing, with a pre-Batman Christian Bale and a pre-McConaughssaince Matthew McConnaughey. While a game about shoo...
