Some CalMerrin teamwork as we cross the Jedha desert to protect the Anchorites, although we have to get into some open world shenanigans first of course. Charlotte's partner, Chris, treats us all to some Star Wars character impressions.... youtu.be/H_eSmgRwIy8

Cal (and by association, Charlotte) bumble around Koboh for a while longer, getting to know the locals. Finally we head back over to Jedha with the findings from the Shattered Moon.... youtu.be/5rEwV3eN9CU

While exploring Koboh, Cal bumps into a member of the Haxion Brood, and meets a mysterious green lady who seems awfully interested in Cal becoming a bounty hunter.... youtu.be/ZpxE5bn-8Fw

Cal finishes his investigations on the Shattered Moon (for now) and heads back to Koboh for some worldbuilding shenanigans.... youtu.be/nvZs-IeacHw

awesome video essay by @gameassistyt.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=Af9k... #Gaming #Racism #Politics

Cal travels to a laboratory on a shattered moon to find out more about the mysterious planet, Tanalorr. Charlotte discusses sexuality mechanics in games, particularly through her off-stream playthrough of The Witcher 3. youtu.be/T-r3dIiCxGY

Cal continues to uncover Koboh's many secrets, and finds an area, and a curious substance, that might be of interest in his journey.... youtu.be/v2LxaI7d5zc

We meet an old friend on Koboh, and investigate the impact the Bedlam Raiders have had on the area. Cal uncovers an unusual droid, from a different era.... youtu.be/CDUt34FPNlI

ICYMI we're selling some of our classic Game Assist mugs! All profits go to Medical Aid for Palestinians, we'd love to shift these before Sara's Big Move at the end of the month. www.ebay.co.uk/itm/38992525...

Another change of plan - stream time will be delayed to about 7.30-8.00pm BST!

Cal escapes Coruscant and heads for an old friend, in dire need of ship repairs. We meet even more of our larger cast of characters, including the legend that is Turgle.... youtu.be/Ss5Pj35K3IM

Rearranging the stream to tomorrow at the same time - sorry for any inconvenience!

Sara will be streaming more Signalis tomorrow at 6.30pm BST! twitch.tv/gameassistyt

Charlotte begins a playthrough of the second game in EA's Jedi series. We return to Cal Kestis, five years after the events of Jedi: Fallen Order, feeling jaded and world-weary. There seems to be no sign of the Mantis crew, and instead we get to know a few new characters.... youtu.be/2YpovEbgOYo

ICYMI: In our #LostRecords review Sara breaks down the unique ways the game explores remembering, resistance and intersectional feminism. youtu.be/norjCB59A7A?...

my review of lost records is up!

THIS SLAYS THIS SLAYS GO WATCH IT

#LostRecords review out now! Through reading its themes of nostalgia, resistance, & intersectional feminism, Sara takes you into the supernatural & mundane world of 4 queer women remembering their summer as punk rockers (and witches?) in Lost Records: Bloom and Rage. youtu.be/norjCB59A7A?...

Live now with SIGNALIS www.twitch.tv/gameassistyt

It's the finale of Fallen Order, and SO much is happening. Once finished, Charlotte reflects on the themes of the game and draws comparisons to our fight against facism.... youtu.be/43XCsfwhH8s

Tomorrow at 7pm BST Sara will be streaming SIGNALIS! Sorry for the accidental 3 month streaming hiatus xo twitch.tv/gameassistyt

2 days till our #LostRecords review drops!!!

Finally got the chance to finish this and it's really good! Even if you aren't very familiar with David Lynch's work I still recommend watching it.

Cal returns to Dathomir with his new kyber crystal and new motivation to defeat Malikos. He strikes up an unlikely friendship with Merrin, and they work together to reclaim her homeland.... youtu.be/8ldDqUgaH14

About a year after the release of Tape 2, we're finally dropping our review of Lost Records: Bloom and Rage this Friday 6pm BST!!! Sara will be talking punk, intersectional feminism, nostalgia and more... Give us a sub if you haven't already to catch it! www.youtube.com/@GameAssist

It's time for Cal to dig into his trauma as he travels to the frozen planet Ilum to fix his lightsaber. Men will literally almost drown trying to find a kyber crystal rather than go to therapy.... youtu.be/5-RAhqOqsZQ

We reach Cal's final training memory with Jaro Tapal, and the power struggle on Dathomir takes a turn. Cal is forced to contend with his trauma and how it has affected his connection to the force, and Charlotte performs a ted talk about the Jedi and their many failings.... youtu.be/2J1fh7ynMkM

Cal confronts Cere about her history with Trilla as they travel to explore a new planet - Dathomir. We learn about the Nightsisters, force users who Cal is extremely suspicious of due to their connection to the dark side. Two inhabitants of Dathomir catch our attention.... youtu.be/Gzmdqg1lh4g

Basically this whole episode is Charlotte trying to figure out how to navigate the Tomb of Miktrull on Zeffo, but she also shares her history with Game Assist, and how she went from fan to creator.... youtu.be/9qSQ560SyXI

If you get second hand puzzle frustration then this might be a tough watch, as Charlotte struggles with every conundrum she's presented with in this episode. Meanwhile, Cordova advises Cal to go and meet his good friend Tarfful on Kashyyyk. No, that is not a typo.... youtu.be/N-4Dx29DqaI

The Mantis crew make a breakthrough in finding the plot mcguffin, but most importantly Charlotte remembers how extremely bad she is at video games.... youtu.be/SRPuG6Xrxcs

So proud to have made a contribution to the amazing work of @nogamesforgenocide.com. Games can be a force of political change, both in their fictions and in their material realities!

Cal, Cere and Greez travel to the planet Bogano to search for a friend of Eno Cordova (is that a euphemism??). Cue some classic Star Wars goofy little guys, and also our first training flashback sequence.... youtu.be/a1eUOb8x3wc

One thing that's interesting about this is All Will Rise is about a small group of people trying to change big systems, too. And they have difficult conversations about who to work with, and for what reasons. Game world and game dev reality are converging in a way.

Charlotte begins streaming Jedi: Fallen Order, and we begin our first foray in discussing Star Wars through the Game Assist lens! We meet our protagonist, Cal Kestis, a Jedi survivor of Order 66, who has been quietly living his life on a remote scavenging planet.... youtu.be/A-fKn9TUDGM

The creators of gloriously unearthly anti-capitalist deckbuilder All Will Rise have announced that they're joining the No Games For Genocide boycott against Microsoft's business links with the Israeli military. https://bit.ly/4unTxBz

thank you @rockpapershotgun.bsky.social for bringing the cold, hard facts about Israeli genocide & Microsoft’s complicity to their audience in covering our @nogamesforgenocide.com pledge. we love to see courageous reporting in games, and we are so grateful for the support from our community 💪🏽

Part of how we can support indie devs who are taking a principled stance by signing our Boycott Xbox Pledge and refusing to receive money from Microsoft is to financially support their projects ourselves!!! Consider supporting All Will Rise 🇵🇸💜

If you're part of an indie team and are horrified by Israel's genocide then HAVE A CONVERSATION about @nogamesforgenocide.com. We have the power to put pressure on Microsoft and WIN. It is NOT impossible. We DO have power. If you're worried or feel awkward abt it, GET IN TOUCH I WILL HYPE YOU UP 💪

We find Marshall at last, and the tension between Former and the Board seems like it will underpin Control 2. If tensions rise between Jesse and the Board, could this undermine the FBC as a whole in the sequel? We can only hope… youtu.be/Aq2IQKkb8Bo

In our search for Marshall, we learn that the Board has a rival entity, and Jesse is unsure who to trust in all this (except for her beloved Emily, obviously). The girlboss seems increasingly dishevelled as things progress… what will she do? youtu.be/eaa3Th5G7QU

It’s time to dive into the final DLC before wrapping up Control for real. As it seems to lay the groundwork for a sequel, does it do enough to encourage us that Control 2 might redeem the politics of the main quest’s ending? youtu.be/Oc3m8BVNbsU
