Spencer and Cameron are going back to 2002 on the Nintendo GameCube for one of the most unique gaming experiences one can have. And that's not just for the survival horror genre. We are talking about Eternal Darkness Sanity's Requiem from Silicon Knights, the folks that made Blood Omen Legacy of Kain and Metal Gear Solid The Twin Snakes. Sadly, this game here is still lost in time to only the GameCube but here's hoping Nintendo might have it on the Switch 2's Virtual Console section in the near future.

Eternal Darkness is just filled with all sorts of unique gameplay features that one just doesn't see in other games. And not only do they age fantastic but still provide a real in depth journey into madness. With the game's sanity bar, that as it depletes, random and weird things may happen to you. From just odd sounds and blood dripping down the wall, to inverted rooms, with a fake overabundance of items, and even breaking the 4th wall by making you feel like your Tv is on the fritz or your game is glitching out. Really fun scenes and it's amazing how many there are in the game without ever repeating its self through the give or take 12-hour gameplay experience.

Where many horror games go to ape Resident Evil and Silent Hill, this one starts taking more cues from Alone in the Dark while leading its own path in a lineage style, time traveling journey. Like a proto–Assassin's Creed. A game that you have to experience at one point to fully understand. But the story is cool, the characters are great, and the monsters are creepy. It's really a game like no other and definitely one of the best survival horror experiences out there.

So, come join us for the run through retrospective discussion, as we deep dive into the lore, gameplay mechanics, and give a retro review on our modern experience. Let us know your thoughts on the game, survival horror titles, and what we should play next.

Spencer and Dave are checking out the Russian Soviet War drama film Come and See from 1985 about the 1943 German Occupation of Byelorussia during World War 2. From the perspective of a young boy who has to go from being a cheerful young lad, ready for adventure and glory, to seeing increasing struggle, survival, and brutality placed on him and the surrounding people of Russia.

The movie is about as heavy as one can get. Almost like the Russian version of Schindler's List. With a really interesting artistic style of Cinematography and editing. With camera shots of characters practically looking directly at the lens. Peering into the void of darkness one may say. The director Elem Klimov takes things one step further by using non actors in many of the roles and instead of special effects, they just go for the real thing. So, this means actual bullets, actual explosions, and even actual death for the most realistic portrayal of the horrors one can experience in the cinema. To top of all the darkness, there is even weird bits of comedy placed throughout the film which makes more sense when you see the director's filmography and how he started off making Soviet funny pictures.

This movie is definitely not for everyone, but it is an experience worth indulging. To learn about the brutal history of less than a hundred years ago and to see a one-of-a-kind cinema masterpiece that there is no way something like this could ever be made nowadays or even again.

Join us as we break it all down in this spoiler-filled discussion! Then get sidetracked as usual with other movies, games, comics, and life stories. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more deep dives into fascinating films.

Spencer and Cameron are continuing their Metro marathon, this time with Last Light in the Redux version. Going deeper into the post apocalyptic Russian world. Seeing where Artyom's journey takes him this time to figure out exactly what the Dark Ones truly are. And in the end, no one is too sure themselves.

This game definitely expands the lore of the land with more emphasis being put on the 3 major factions of the world. The gameplay gets dialed in and the pacing smoothed out through the level design. Though they still like to try and screw you on the surface with those filter reloads. All and all, good times are still had, and the new monsters offer more sights of terror. If you dig the good story telling era of FPS games from that Xbox 360 era, this one offers quite a journey.

So, come join us for the run through retrospective discussion, as we deep dive into the lore, gameplay mechanics, and give a retro review on our modern experience. Let us know your thoughts on the game, survival horror titles, and what we should play next.
