I always assumed his codex persona is mostly an act, though it makes you wonder why, probably a defense mechanism same as KrunoFunnily enough, I'm perfectly willing to watch @Ed123 for 3 hours, but I wouldn't like to be his friend.Few people are

I remember Pierre, the KOTC games dev talking about HoMM 3 in his interview with Matt Chat not so long ago. I wonder if this event inspired Matt Chat to play it.
SNEG is bringing back some of the best CRPGs and strategy games of all time to GOG and STEAM. Gold box, Black box, silver box and more! Oleg and Artem are super fans of the games they're publishing and have ambitious plans to bring back even more games from the golden age!
Warlords started off as a turn-based fantasy strategy game, and the Battlecry series took that concept into the real-time realm. The consensus among fans of the franchise is that the third game is the best, so that's the one I chose to review for the show. It's a challenging game, but well worth learning the ropes for some intense and highly addictive gameplay with incredible depth.
This episode covers a rather excellent new point-and-click adventure game called Stasis: Bone Totem. Whether you've played the first Stasis or not, you should definitely check out this game. Great atmosphere, story, puzzles, and, if rumor is to be believed, the best characters ever presented in a video game (note: This character is not shown in this video.).
This episode features an interview the PC King, the amazing Mr. Anne Bras. Anne has a massive collection of PC boxed games--in fact, the world's largest. We chat about collecting, archiving, and Anne's own game projects.

Note: Not to be confused with Ann's Bra Shop!
Flint Dille is a screenwriter, game designer, author, and producer with a resume you won't believe. He's worked extensively with George Gygax at TSR (Sagard the Barbarian), but he's probably better known for his work on classic 80s cartoons like GI Joe and Transformers. His game credits include writing and designing for nearly 47 projects, Double Switch, Chronicles of Riddick, Diablo III, and Uncharted. On top of all that, he's written great books on video games. Did I mention Garbage Pail Kids? If you were a kid in the 80s, Flint has undoubtedly worked on something you loved!
This episode features the voice of Guybrush Threepwood himself, Mr. Dominic Armato. Dom is an incredible voice actor and a great storyteller, too. Fun times!
Jimmy Maher is the Digital Antiquarian, an epic blogger who delves deep into all manner of retrogaming and computing topics. He also wrote a great book the Amiga called The Future Was Here. In this chat, we talk about game books and writing, AI, The Last Express, Magic the Gathering, and porn's role in game history.
This week I'm joined by one of the greats of video game history and preservation, Mr. Frank Cifaldi. Frank has done incredible work with the Video Game History Foundation and formerly with Lost Levels.
This episode features an interview with religion and games professor Dr. Wade Langer, AKA Prof Noctis. We delve into all manner of things related to JRPGs and Final Fantasy, but from an angle you probably haven't heard discussed before! Wade has phenomenal insights into what makes JRPGs different than CRPGs, but he asks some good questions, too!
Chris Baker is a writer, critic, marketing and PR specialist, and YouTuber with some amazing credits on his resume. Whether it's Star Wars, Marvel, pinball, or great indie RPGs like Operencia and Circus Electrique, Chris is the man with the plan. Somehow, despite all these accomplishments, he's still down-to-earth, level-headed, and a super fun guy to talk to. Enjoy!
This episode covers the new Warhammer 40K game by Owlcat: Rogue Trader. If you like Xenos-Com style combat and dark, lore-heavy sci-fi/fantasy worlds, don't plan on getting to bed early. I can't give it a full-throated recommendation due to myriad game-crashing bugs, but hopefully the bulk of those will be patched in short order. I hope so, anyway, because it'd be utter heresy to see so much potential go to waste! Just to be sure to save often!
