SILKSONG

After years of anticipation, HOLLOW KNIGHT: SILKSONG, one of the most anticipated games of the decade, is finally out, and we have been playing it non-stop! (No really, it was hard to pull time away to record, edit, and produce this episode because all we wanna do is keep playing more Silksong.)

It’s the first game in a hot minute that both of us have been simultaneously obsessed with, and so Pharloom’s silk has beckoned us to the microphones to sing our song* (*record our pod). 

Before we dive into this massive Metroidvania that has pogoed its way straight to the top of our GOTY contenders, we have a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT to make about the future of our podcasting careers. We’ve been cooking something new up and are excited to reveal it here in this episode!

Later in the episode, we discuss upcoming 2025 video games that we’re looking forward to (it’s a stacked last three months of the year y'all!) 

We also catch up on what we’ve been playing this summer: Laurence shares some thoughts on Donkey Kong: Bananza, while Eric has been filling in a blind spot by diving into the first 3 games of the Metal Gear Solid series.

WHAT ELSE WE'RE GAY FOR:

ERIC: Metal Gear Solid | Tate McRae’ VMA Performance

LAURENCE: Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky | Akira Kurosawa’s High and Low
