Total Playtime: Suck Off Frankenstein
It is time once again for Total Playtime, now the official Jank podcast, arriving a little late this week due to some production issues arising from my sending the file to the wrong person. I apologise for the error.
This week it’s a free episode available to all, in which our four hosts gather to judge the news of the week - chiefly, Bethesda’s smoke-bomb declaration of Fallout 5 in an effort to distract from laying off a number of people who would have made it; Sony’s abandonment of discs as a storage medium and EA’s correct prediction of the World Cup final. If that all sounds a little dull, don’t worry, Nate naturally and effortlessly channeled it into pornographic takes of classic Gothic novels. Plus: the four male hobbies, a Henry Cavill origin story and headphones made out of eldritch meat.
Our art (now feat. Brendy) is by Marsh Davies, our music is by God Ribbon and our editing is by Alix Attenborough. The podcast only exists thanks to those who subscribe to Jank (and previously backed it on Patreon, which will endure for one more month only).

The Trojan Horse worked until it didn’t. Bethesda announced that it is making Fallout 5 which wasn’t fooling anyone. Obsidian missed their New Vegas bonus due to a single Metacritic point. Alice reviewed Dungeon Crawler Carl and people got cross about it, so now she has to review the next two books as well. Sony is giving up on physical discs, which is bad news because they have a history of delisting digital purchases. Microsoft has a plan for converting Discs2Digital.
EA correctly predicted the World Cup again. Nate did not imagine the psychic pig; he was called Mystic Marcus but has not been seen since 2022 and so must be considered missing, presumed bacon. Messi was vanquished by the baby he once bathed. Peter Serafinowicz is really excited about being in the Elden Ring movie. Remember to switch off your poison sockets. Alice subjected innocent people to Brian Butterfield’s Christmas Pizza. Look Around You. Here’s the Jank review of The Incident At Galley House.

The Incident At Galley House is a glow up of Type Help and here’s how that happened. The Mermaid Mask. Hypogea.
