    The Universe Is, and We Are | Outer Wilds, Part III (Ep. 139)
    Apr 3 2025
    "It’s the kind of thing that makes you glad you stopped and smelled the pine trees along the way, you know?"

    Rick is joined by Josh (Still Loading Podcast) once again to reach the end of 2019's Outer Wilds. The profundity offered by this game really snuck up on us, and the ending offers a feast of ideas and discussion points with which beautiful conversation can be had. Needless to say, we both love this game. Thank you for sticking around for the full series - please enjoy!

  • Cause and Effect | Outer Wilds, Part II (Ep. 138)

    Cause and Effect | Outer Wilds, Part II (Ep. 138)
    Mar 28 2025
    "The pain of your absence is sharp and haunting, and I would give anything not to know it; anything but never knowing you at all (which would be worse)."

    The critical analysis of Outer Wilds continues this week as Rick and Josh (Still Loading Podcast) continue through the solar system! In this episode, Giant's Deep, Ember Twin, Brittle Hollow, and the Interloper are explored at length, and insight is gained into the Nomai - how they lived, what they valued, and their untimely fate. This ended up being a terrific discussion that spans not only the game, but how we can extract the lessons into our own lives. Please enjoy!

  • The Thrill of Discovery | Outer Wilds, Part I (Ep. 137)

    The Thrill of Discovery | Outer Wilds, Part I (Ep. 137)
    Mar 20 2025
    "Seems like only yesterday you joined the space program, and suddenly here you are, leaving on your first solo voyage."

    This week, Rick is joined by Josh (Still Loading Podcast) to begin a three-part analysis on Outer Wilds, a 2019 adventure game that captivated audiences (and me) with creativity and heart. Taking the role of The Hatchling, players explore a vast - and occasionally hostile - galaxy to gather data on the Nomai, an ancient race that disappeared under unclear circumstances. Mysteries abound, and with themes encompassing existentialism, religion, science, and community, Outer Wilds goes places players may not expect. We're both thrilled to be talking about this game. Please enjoy!

Part Zelda-like adventure game and part hack and slash, this cult-classic is beloved by many early adopters of the Playstation family of consoles - your host included! How does it hold up?
