This week we’re discussing who’s really in control when you play a game with The Stanley Parable, the odd release of F1 2016 on iOS, Guildwars 2 and the abomination of ship design that is Battlestar Galactica Squadrons.

What do spectral pigs, bats and our self respect have in common? They are all unlikely to survive the episode.

We’re off on an adventure! With speedboats! Then we’re going to do something about that long list of creatures we need to summon. I do hope they all want to be friends…

We’ve gone a bit mad a again so it’s time to show more rewiring and a couple of new machines and the latest changes to the Thaumcraft room.

It’s Hugo time again, so we’re joined by Toerag and Days again to talk about the 1966 Robert Heinlein classic The Moon is a Harsh Mistress, which won in 1967.

Tim’s been busy rewiring the AE system, so while that kind of still works we explain what’s been done then move onto moving all the super power stuff we forgot about into the main building.

It’s another what we’re playing, and this week we’ve been busy with more Guild Wars 2, Lego Dimensions and Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes. Tim has also finally been finding out what Dear Esther is all about, while Jon is back with Mafia 2 because it was easier than buying the newly released third game.

It’s been far too long since we’ve had a boss fight, so let’s take a look at one called Leonard. He sounds easy enough.

Should I make a joke about it being a-maze-ing this episode, or wait until we return to the maze in the future? Still, we’re looking for a thing and then moving back onto witchcraft in the never ending quest to restore the world.

This week we’re taking a look at game length. Is there such a thing as too short or too long, and what effect does that have on our enjoyment and perceived value?
