We're back chatting about chapter 4 of Life is Strange True Colors! This is our shortest episode yet because chapter 5 took us like 2 hours so we didn't want to combine them! Talking points include: Giving stolen evidence to cops, lackluster romance options, and just what in tarnation that Jed character is up to and how stupid we are for being surprised by it. Check in with us next week for Chapter 5!    Twitter: https://twitter.com/thoughtsfromp1 Discord: https://discord.gg/69JNc4R Twitch: Twitch Email: thoughtsfromplayerone@gmail.com     Opening Music Track: High Spirits Composer: Bjorn A.

This week we played Heaven Will Be Mine, a visual novel about three female mech pilots tearing through space, battling, flirting, making out, and fighting for what they believe in. The game contains Poetic and dense writing about themes surrounding LGBTQ+, discrimination, space, and what it means to be human. This one was right up our alley! If you've never played it we do summarize it as best we can! Topics include: conquering challenging writing, representation styles, ending interpretations, personal connections, and much more! Be sure to check out our color fact at the end too! It's a good one!   Twitter: https://twitter.com/thoughtsfromp1 Discord: https://discord.gg/69JNc4R Twitch: Twitch Email: thoughtsfromplayerone@gmail.com Professor Pigment: MatchaPeaches:  https://twitter.com/MatchaPeaches   Opening Music Track: High Spirits Composer: Bjorn A.

Heyyy it's Alex and Duncan =].   We recorded another AWESOME episode of TFP1!!! This week we talked about Kyle Seeley's Emily is Away

This week we finally talk about a game that Alex has had his eyes on for a while now, Maquette. We also take some time to say farewell to season 6(?) as Plant Facts from Michael goes on hiatus for a bit and a new season closer starts taking shape. Talking points this time include: Just being so dang quirky, who exactly is Ron Howard, puzzle mechanics as a storytelling mechanism, and steam speedruns disguising themselves as walkthroughs.   Twitter: https://twitter.com/thoughtsfromp1 Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ThoughtsFromPlayerOne/ Discord: https://discord.gg/69JNc4R Twitch: Twitch Email: thoughtsfromplayerone@gmail.com Opening Music Track: High Spirits Composer: Bjorn A.

This week we just took it easy! Hey can you blame us?

We're back this week and delving deep into the sci-fi stealth action in Echo by Ultra Ultra, a game we both desperately wanted to love. Talking points include: Limited story context, great ideas vs execution, and like 15 minutes on Detective Pikachu to tie it all together.   Twitter: https://twitter.com/thoughtsfromp1 Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ThoughtsFromPlayerOne/ Discord: https://discord.gg/69JNc4R Twitch: Twitch Email: thoughtsfromplayerone@gmail.com All music from DANGANRONPA: Trigger Happy Havoc  Opening Music Track: High Spirits Composer: Bjorn A.

This week Duncan calls in sick so Alex and Nick pick up the mantle by continue talking at length about Fromsoft games, this time covering Dark Souls 1 and 3.
