There’s a story behind that name. I’m on the show and I have no idea about the Transition Tunes, either. However, the last one is something I know for sure, but can’t quite place it.

A 2 man show this week, Greg fell ill, and Lee and Nick take up the slack with some in depth talk about the recent Indie World Showcase. Lee talks about Simulacra, and Nick Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom. We round things off with a listener question from @Ealdst. 'N-E Café [006] Cheating the System' can be found at all good podcast providers;

Great timing with the Indie World Showcase, just before recording, so it'll feature in this week's podcast. Can't wait. ohh, and a call out once again for any Listener Questions, and any guesses on the Transition Tunes (what game did they come from) from last week's podcast? Good luck!

I was reading the series. After the time jump, I sporadically read. And kept reading in chunks of about 20 issues after a long break. Well, I went on a break after about issue 180, then found the end had come and decided to read the entire series from scratch. I knew I wanted to revisit it, so I thought what the hell, I’ll start from the beginning before reading the last 13 episodes. And now I’ve finished it all. Blown away. What a ride. Andrea’s death still brought a tear, and the end story with adult Carl and daughter was so touching. Problems - no one gets bitten? old people still die, surely there’ll be incidents, they talk as if no one comes back as a roamed anymore.

Greg has also put the fifth podcast on YouTube,

We get New Year's Day off work in Taiwan, and I'm sure I'll be up bright and early on the 1st, which will be around 10pm onwards for the Eve's night. I'll definitely try to join in on a few games.

It was a pleasure having you on Sam, and we’ll definitely do it again in the near future. And when you’re put on the spot to name a track from a 5 second clip, it’s harder than it looks, or sounds. As was the case with me. [emoji38]

'N-E Café [005] Dancing with Greg' is now up on all good Podcast Providers. So excited to listen back to the musical quiz, that Greg prepared for us, one more time. Was a great show. Enjoy!

Recording for the fifth podcast is completed, and introduces our very own @S.C.G into the fold for a musical quiz which was really enjoyable to play. See how we all fared with @nekunando as the quiz master. And, if you want to prove Greg wrong with his disdain for Demon's Crest, and show us your love for it, then drop us a line here and we'll regurgitate it in our late December podcast.

Yeah, the plus button comes in handy, and is overused. Even when flying to levels.

So, preparations are underway for the 5th N-E Cafe Podcast, including a special guest if all goes well. Shaking the formula up a slight bit, by including one of Greg's Games. Always excited for those. The Transition Tune was a lot trickier this week, at least for me, any takers? And as our PodPals Demon's Crest Retrospective is underway, any feedback? Anyone started it? My first initial impressions were slightly positive due to a healthy nostalgia of the Gameboy game Gargoyle's Quest. Graphics looked vibrant, and animations solid. A few levels in, and my enthusiam waned, due to poor level structure and a lot of the key items being hidden excessively. Shame about the framerate, too. Will continue onwards, and upwards apparently.

Yeah, Mark of the Ninja: Remastered is one of my recent favourites.

'N-E Café [004] The Art of Balance' is here. Just follow the link to SoundCloud, or choose your Podcast Provider of choice in the opening post. Sit back, relax, the coffee's on us.

Fourth Podcast has been recorded, felt good this week, too. We metion the PodPals Community game that was chosen, and the winner was, by one vote, Demon's Crest. We'll be recording the PodPals podcast episode during the last week of December, no final dates yet. So, instead of 2 Podcasts recorded on the 24th and 31st December, we'll be doing one in the middle of it all, and it'll include the usual news section, etc., but also the PodPals section where we'll all talk about the game and quote all who have anything to say about it too. So, hopefully it won't be just Me, Greg and Nick playing by our lonesomes, but a few other viewpoints would be much appreciated and make for better listening too. Thanks.

Thanks. Apart from my bullshit about MegaMan at the beginning. I’ll be giving an apology next week, [emoji23].
