Show notes

This week the Utcast invents the hottest new IP that will sweep the nation in the summer of 2027, so run, don't walk, to your nearest theater and demand a ticket to "Spurgles 2: The Spurgles Cum Back." Later we talk at length about Castlevania, both with regards to the new one and more broadly about what makes a Castlevania a Castlevania as opposed to a Metroidvania. Then Jonathan is joined by the #1 Travis Touchdown fan artist beatle to talk about Grasshopper Manufacture, No More Heroes, Lollipop Chainsaw, Romeo is a Dead Man and more (you can watch the video of that interview here: https://youtu.be/Urc9a1RGoTA?si=zKSzxXJjWzDbpEsF ) After the guest segment we round out the show with some chatting about the new game Penguin Colony and Jonathan wonders how Zoey can get paid if she ends up working on a fan mod of Morrowind.
