The Cane and Rinse videogame podcast

Sam Barlow's interactive cinematic puzzle IMMORTALITY gets dissected in this issue of the Cane and Rinse podcast. Leon, Ryan, Tom and community contributors scrub through the celluloid of three unreleased movies to trace Marissa Marcel's fate and the mysteries beneath.

The descendant of Erdrick has arrived. Brian, Chris Worthington, Jon and Leah examine the first entry in the legendary Dragon Quest series. Join them as they discuss the history and impact of the JRPG that birthed an entire genre.

Leon chats with Andrew Elmore about his video deep dive into Namco's long-running Museum series of retro re-releases, from mid-90s PlayStation origins through the generations to more recent standalone plug 'n' play devices and beyond. From Gee Bee to Tank Force via every Pac-Man and Galaxian inbetween, it's a lot of fun. Enjoy!

Vanillaware's mission to make a game in each genre continues with tactical RPG Unicorn Overlord. Leon, Chris O'Regan, Leah and Michiel (whose pick this was for the podcast), embroil themselves in the quest to liberate another Europesque land from the tyranny of a possessed expansionist despot. As usual - along with input from the listeners - we get into the audio-visual presentation, the nitty gritty of interface and the myriad strategic options afforded by this systems-rich epic fantasy.

It's rare for us to review a 10 year-old game that's still in active development, but here we are. Much has already been said about the majestic comeback story that is No Man's Sky - and we do touch upon that here - but we mainly wanted to discuss what we did and didn't enjoy about playing the game in its 2026 form. Leon, James, Rich and Patreon posters do just that, telling tales of adventure in this practically infinite possibility space.
