“There are no free lessons here.” Fore! Ryan, Jon, Sean and Jesse tee up for a bunker-chipping, birdie-flopping, caddyshacking conversation about Australian indie darling Golf Story. Does this game land cleanly on the green, or is it a bogey? This conversation will go a fairway toward answering that question. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_583.mp3   Music featured in this issue: 1.

"Questions about whose hands might one day hold my Myst Book are unsettling to me.” After 30 years, we release Chris, James, Jesse and Jon from their exile in D’ni. As they step, blinking and nervous, into the light, they find themselves on a strange island. This wonderful place is a gateway to puzzling worlds of history, influence, and mystery. Join us for a walk around the first of Cyan’s signature franchise: join us on Myst. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_582.mp3   Music featured in this issue:1.

“PULL IT OUT OF THE SKY!” Star Wars: The Force Unleashed was marketed as an opportunity for players to live out their ultimate (Dark) Jedi power fantasies. Did the game succeed? Well, it certainly did commercially, leading to a sequel just two years later. Leon, Brian, Jon and community contributors polish their holocrons in a bid to convey what was successful and what wasn't about LucasArts' brace of stormtrooper-flinging lightsaber-fests. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_581.mp3   Music featured in this issue:1.

“Goodest idea, underqualified gun man!” Colt and Juliana go head to head, life or death, day after and day and for what? Leon, Tom, Tony and Jay relive Arkane Lyon's recursive immersive sim and, with some broadly rather negative community correspondence, attempt to explain where they feel that the ambitions of "DEATHLOOP" were met, and also where they fell short of flourishing to full fruition. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_580.mp3   Music featured in this issue: 1.

“The Zodiac Brave Story" Following two delays (one long, one short), we can finally bring you our in-depth discussion of Final Fantasy Tactics (and The War of the Lions). Leon, Leah, Rich - and a returning Josh Garrity - have all completed this lengthy, daunting, and at times downright cruel game - and are ready to share their findings with you all. We also have a slate of valuable community contributions giving us jumping-off points from which we talk strategy, status effects, job systems, red Chocobos and brutal boss battles in this long-awaited podcast. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_579.mp3   Music featured in this issue: 1.
