    Alan Wake II | Left Behind Game Club

    2026/09/22 | 3h 3 mins.
    “Back to the beginning. We all come to a story with hopes and expectations, looking for an answer. Sometimes, it would be better to live with that hope, without ever knowing the full story. In a horror story, there are only victims and monsters and the trick is not to end up as either. But, trapped by the genre, we are all ripped to pieces along the way. This is not the story I hoped it would be. This is not the ending I wanted. This story will eat us alive. This story is a monster. And monsters wear many faces”
    This episode I am joined by Travis (Left Behind Game Club) to talk about a horror story. This story brings us back to Bright Falls where Alan Wake's journey began.

    Mixtape | No Small Games

    2026/07/14 | 2h 12 mins.
    “The compact disc delivers crisp, high-fidelity audio in a portable form factor. With a sixteen-bit signal and a staggering seventy-four minutes of playtime, it's the sound of the future. Make memories to good music. Invest in quality headphones. Always make a soundtrack. Because pretty soon you won't be listening to music, you'll be listening to who you were.
    Tonight’s playlist is important. It’s a retrospective. A greatest hits to accompany our last night together in the BIG SUCK. 
    A milestone like this requires preparation - a schedule. One must think ahead to experience the now. These are the last hours of our high school affair. It’s romantic. I wanna say something light hearted, so I say…I bet one of us dies this time” -  Stacey Rockford

    We reference the article "All This Over...Mixtape?" by Nathan Grayson during our talk.

    Also we put together our own Mixtape as we shared our experiences with the game. Listen to that here.

    Game: Mixtape
    Release Year: 2026
    Developer: Beethoven and Dinosaur
    Platforms: Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S
