Three Moves Ahead 429


Subterfuge
Do you like submarines? Do you like being irrationally angry at your best friends? How about checking your phone at 2 AM? Subterfuge may be the relationship ender you've been looking for. Rob is joined by Kotaku's Heather Alexandra, PC Gamer's Philippa Warr, and freelance writer Nick Capozzoli to talk about Subterfuge, a game about being a jerk. Inspired by the long-form RTS gameplay of Neptune's Pride, Subterfuge is as much a game about relationships with other players as it is tactics. The panel discusses their emotional highs and lows when dealing with the hell that is other people, and you can hear the frustration as Rob demonstrates the most exaggerated sigh in the history of podcasting.

A very enjoyable episode.  But boy did the description of their game of Subterfuge sound an awful like our game of Neptune's Pride - all consuming, amazing, utterly exhausting, and total agreement among all participants that we would need at least a year before we would ever play it again, even as we constantly talked about it for the next several months.

Great episode. It's nice to see a non-PC non-mainstream game like this covered.  Also was nice to hear Pip and Heather on the show.

 

 

This episode makes me think a 3MA mini-series of Diplomacy would be great entertainment.
