Next, they take a brief detour through the subject of ice cream novelties before the video game shenanigans commence!

  • Episode 140 - Ben’s PAX West Adventures Day 3
    Oct 24 2025
    If your question right now is, “Hey Ben, what did you see and do at PAX West on day 3?” then this show is for you! The short answer—he saw two of his favorite games of the entire four-day show and played a handful of others. Starting off the episode with the favorites, Ben describes his experiences playing the outrageously goofy meat-centric 3rd-person shooter SWAPMEAT and the skiing-themed rhythm game Fresh Tracks. Next, he moves on to the other games he played: Birdseed VR, Rebel Engine, Pax Autocratica, Arcane Eats, and Black Jacket. Finally, to put a bow on the show and phonetically into bonus, Ben reviews two additional titles: Chronicles of the Wolf and A Dream About Parking Lots. *** 00:00:48 - SWAPMEAT with creator, founder & COO of One More Game, Jamie Stormbreaker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N2MvcODkL-w https://www.onemoregame.com/about-us/ https://playswapmeat.com/ https://store.steampowered.com/app/2790700/SWAPMEAT/ - OUT NOW! 00:07:37 - The Buffalo Buffalo booth - https://www.buffalobuffalo.ca/ 00:07:51 - The virtual reality game Birdseed VR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAqvvW4P-oA https://store.steampowered.com/app/3952540/Birdseed/ 00:10:30 - Fresh Tracks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtBpN40Qtg4 https://store.steampowered.com/app/3202950/Fresh_Tracks/ 00:20:41 - Playing the Rebel Engine (formerly known as Payloaders Strike!) demo and a chat with Seven Leaf Clover game developer Gianluca Mascaro https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eITKXun635k https://store.steampowered.com/app/1977200/Rebel_Engine/ 00:23:34 - Pax Autocratica from game developer Multiverse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w9bREKlyMq4 https://store.steampowered.com/app/1067360/Pax_Autocratica/ 00:27:34 - The Skystone Games booth - https://www.skystone.games/ 00:30:44 - Arcane Eats - Developed by Wonderbelly Games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_mZY7g4jVg https://store.steampowered.com/app/2640090/Arcane_Eats/ 00:33:21 - Black Jacket - Developed by Mi'pu'mi Games GmbH https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXQbTk6n5Dk https://store.steampowered.com/app/3100370/Black_Jacket/ BONUS REVIEWS: 00:36:48 - Chronicles of the Wolf developed by Migami Games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bFIS4hPx3F4 https://store.steampowered.com/app/2371890/Chronicles_of_the_Wolf/ 00:39:55 - A Dream About Parking Lots developed by Interactive Dreams https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zpkdr5imDfQ https://store.steampowered.com/app/3500340/A_Dream_About_Parking_Lots/ *** Follow Two Vague on… Our website: https://www.twovaguepodcast.com On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/two_vague_podcast On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@twovaguepodcast On Substack: https://twovaguepodcast.substack.com/ On Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/twovaguepodcast.com For show appearance and other inquiries, contact us at: twovaguepodcast@gmail.com -AND- …for all of your PRI and 2VP merch check out the Partly Robot Industries store at TEEPUBLIC! https://www.teepublic.com/user/partly-robot-industries *** References, Links, and Tags #Podbean #DIYPodcast #ApplePodcast #VideoGames #Trivia #Comedy #Talkshow #2VP #TwoVaguePodcast #PodernFamily #InterviewShow #GamersofThreads #Gamer #PartlyRobot #PartlyRobotIndustries #TeePublic #OneMoreGame #Swapmeat #JamieStormbreaker #BuffaloBuffalo #BirdseedVR #FreshTracks #SevenLeafClover #RebelEngine #PaxAutocratica #Multiverse #SkystoneGames #ArcaneEats #WonderbellyGames #BlackJacket #MipumiGamesGmbH #ChroniclesOfTheWolf #MigamiGames #ADreamAboutParkingLots #InteractiveDreams #PAXWest #PAXWest2025
