Tom and Phil give their first impressions of The Walking Dead's latest iteration, Michonne. Phil gives a score for Rise of the Tomb Raider on Xbox One, and both hosts lay down a score on The Order: 1886.
Beyond that we give our usual kaleidoscopical view on the world and gaming, we hope you enjoy Episode 89.
This was one of the comments left in response to one of Tom's Reviews. Seriously.
Tom and Phil decided to breakout their spoilercast of Life Is Strange (first aired in Episode 75).
It was a very important game when we came to our Game of the Year Considerations, but it was buried deeply into Episode 75, so we agreed it should get it's own half-show.
If you have not finished Life is Strange, Please do not listen to this show. But we both encourage you to finish (and obviously listen).
Phil Fogg, with only 24 years left on the clock, nails a buzzer-beating review of the EA classic, Bulls vs. Blazers and the NBA Playoffs.
Phil was interested in playing an old sports game that he had no nostalgic connection to and see how it would hold up. Find out in the review.
With this review, the final in my brief coverage of Rare's R.C. Pro-Am franchise, I am now going to have to move onto to other games, which has prompted ruefulness. Having the world of RC Pro-Am to meander through for the last week has been enjoyable, often prompting me to consider the series in an intimate manner, a rare treat in a time where concentrated focus is usually limited to a reward of vacation.
So I hope you enjoy this final look at the R.C. Pro-Am series.
Okay, we have finally arrived at Tom Towers Game of the Year Awards. We also cover a broad range of topics and give scores on Stardew Valley.
This is a seminal episode of The Game Under Podcast, thanks for listening.
Oh and the book we were discussing, that neither of us could remember the name of was The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers.
A long time ago, in a opaque e-mail to Phil which I regret, and he accepted with a wow, I'll have to return to this (though he, thankfully, never did), I revealed both the size of the lesions in my brain and the blood supplied to the same organ, by way of describing how they had recently shrunk or flowed rather than grown and ebbed.
Feebly, and foolishly, I wrote and partially edited what are now the final instalments of the Tom Towers Reads series, a work documenting the return of my literacy (some semblance of successful short term memory creation and processing) yet the absence, still, of my ability to recall long-term memories without some prompting, and the perpetual sense of paranoia and déjà vu which resulted.
The series, as a whole, was an autobiography made and presented in the wrong medium. A Pater prose poem, not a Poe. In fact, it is one in the mode of the latter (recounting an earlier such shrinking and flowing) that haunts the style of these supposed reviews; part of a work rendering everything that I had written, post-lesions, up until that point an impotent impression of the whole of the work itself, its festering maggots gnawing their rotting prose.
Writers who disavow their own work, beg their benefactors to burn it on their deathbed, but do not burn it themselves, are cowards. So if I am not to move these to the recycle bin (and they are backed-up in so many folders, hard drives and clouds that I can hardly hope to eradicate them completely; as with most infestations, one is at its mercy no matter what one tries) then, out of shame, let me disparage them and publish them in their present—and chronologically increasingly unedited and underdeveloped, as the realisation of their futility slowly dawned upon me,—state, in the internet's very own outhouse, GameUnder.net; where only those whose brains are as damaged as mine are likely to find them...
Which is also our new slogan: Game Under, for those whomse brains are as damaged as ours..."

I continue to carom my way through Rare's RC Pro-Am franchise, this time turning my attention to the sequel, which launched on the original Game Boy (yes there is a space in-between Game and Boy, this was pre-internet start-up mash-ups).
Nintendo forced millions of gamers out into the sun, in order to see the non-backlit screens of the Game Boy.
Inspired by the recent interest in Rocket League, I've decided to run a few reviews of Rare's R.C. PRO-AM game series. The first of which is available today. Thanks for reading.
For whatever reason I always thought R.C. PRO-AM was a NAMCO game.
Tom and Phil are back together again to discuss Stardew Valley, Playstation VR pricing, Xbox One impressions and so much more.

Tom Towers goes it alone again in the latest episode of The Game Under Podcast (Game Under Pirate Radio Episode 2).
