On to the next.

59. GEX: Enter the Gecko - 9 hrs A 3D platformer & collectathon?! Be still my heart. This game was a blast to play. Tight controls & great challenges throughout. The boss fights were excellent. Music was ok but ultimately forgettable. Another solid entry in a series I continue to fall in love with.

Side Quests is back and so is host @positivelaser.bsky.social from @mightyyell.bsky.social! He is a game director, writer, and aspiring pirate! The game he is talking about today is The Secret of Monkey Island by Lucasfilm Games! funandgames.libsyn.com/side-quests-...

Glad I got to talk about the best game ever!

Next up. Headed to the third dimension.

58. GEX - 5 hrs 20min What delightful, ridiculous & fun 2D platformer. Love the goofiness @danagould.bsky.social delivers with his performance. The 5 worlds all felt unique. Each stage had fun challenges. The gameplay felt tight & responsive. A classic worth going back to if you missed it.

The "Fun" and Games podcast @funandgamespod.bsky.social features Matt @djstormageddon.com Geoff @geoffmakesnoise.bsky.social The show is thoughtful and the hosts have years of experience in the video game field; shown most notably by smartly NOT having a Quest 64 episode (I've been invited lol)

I was a guest on @funandgamespod.bsky.social's Side Quests series. They asked me to talk about an indie game I love. I chose #SignsoftheSojourner. It's a deck-based conversation game set in a post-collapse future; no Mad Max gangs, no cannibals—just small, loving communities hanging onto the edge.

57. Demonschool - 40 hrs This is one of the best tactics RPGs I've ever played & now one of my favorite indies as well. Excellent gameplay, killer soundtrack, goofy & heartfelt monster of the week style story telling, incredible characters & gorgeous graphics & design. A must play for any RPG fan.

No new Side Quests today. See you back here on Monday!

With both of these games coming next year I’m about to become completely insufferable. These are going to be my whole personality in 2026.

hi yes would you like to hear me ramble about why Wanderstop is such a relevant game when it comes navigating burnout and creative self-worth in this capitalism hellscape? appreciate the chance to talk indie games! I enjoyed it and would love to do more podcast-y things if anyone wants to have me 👀
