Zaber talks about Rocket League, a football like game featuring cars and rockets, Also featuring a not often seen split screen mode, It was a favorite in the Zabermoul house, but an update require each player to have a profile and no guest accounts has caused some consternation.

Ram has been eating people and smacking fish in Maneater, playing as a Shark on a revenge quest for her mother. Simple fun thrashing and killing fish, alligators, other sharks and people. As well as avoiding hunters, its a very simple and ok game but is quite fun.

Welcome to episode 238
We have problems saying the name of our first game, Tiny Tina’s Wounderlands. A spin off of Borderlands themed around a tabletop RPG board game. It has great voice acting and humour. Still with the Borderland staples of randomised weapons and being very silly, but now featuring an overworld. We also talk about the main Borderlands series, the back story and its up and downs of the series.
Ram revisits a previous discussed game, Kerbal Space Program, a fantastic space sim about building rockets and launching them into space to complete missions and heading to other planets. Plus Ram fumbles explaining orbital mechanics to Zaber

Rand(Nerds); Episode 237 - Mr Prepper, Little Nightmares, For All Mankind
Welcome to episode 237
We kick off with discussing Valentine's Day, traditionally a day for spoiling the ladies, and we find out Denmark has a special day to follow up for the guys. it doesn’t quite have the same romantic name, we also find out Zaber would not skip games night for love.
Ram gives us a little bit of background on the concept of prepper’s, people getting prepared for the worst case scenarios but stocking up on supplies and building bunkers. This brings onto what he’s been playing in Mr Prepper. You have to build a bunker, scavenge or trade supplies and maintain a facade for the oppressive government agents. All to get to the end goal of escaping from the country. The game has been generally well received and has some neat ideas, but Ram feels it lets itself down with a grinding slog to get what you need and not being partially hard.
Zaber has been playing a horror game called Little Nightmares, playing as a small girl trying to navigate through puzzle’s with stealth to escape a nightmarish world filled with mutated people. Short but sweet and looks amazing.
Ram has been continuing making use of his free trial of Apple TV by watching For All Mankind, an alternative timeline tv series where the Russians won the race to moon, kicking off a space race with time jumps between seasons spanning it over several decades.
We also discussed the now deceased game streaming service Stadia and how elite we were at Pubg.
