9 things we want from Spyro A Realm Beyond
Spyro A Realm Beyond didn't give us MUCH to go on...but it certainly gave us enough to think about to begin hoping for what it could be. From the new flight mechanics, the presentation, the potential minigames...we wanted to talk about what we do, and don't, want from the return of the classic Spyro formula.MORE PLACES TO FIND USCrubscribe ► https://bit.ly/CrubcastGet the show early and get exclusive content at our Patreon ► https://www.patreon.com/crubOur Crubcasts are recorded LIVE at https://www.twitch.tv/crub_official every Tuesday at 7pm Eastern, with EXCLUSIVE Pre- and Post-ShowsJoin our Discord ► https://crub.org/joinBlueSky ► https://bsky.app/profile/crub.orgCome join our Steam group ► https://steamcommunity.com/groups/crubclubPodcasts are available on Apple, Google, Spotify, and other platforms are available at ► https://crub.orgSHOW NOTESWe kind of joke about Stewart Copeland "no efforting" the PS1 music, we're just lightheartedly calling back to this short interview from the time.

The case for an Austin Powers video game
With 007 First Light releasing to rave reviews, and with us not having played it...we decided to weather the Summer Game Fest storm and do what we do best. Show up without an actual plan for an episode and wing it. However, we have a compelling case for why IO Interactive should ditch Amazon and instead make an Austin Powers game next. We also solve the decades-long question...what should Austin Powers 4 be about? We also finally discuss Grand Theft Auto 6 in this episode, so we are a topical gaming podcast finally.MORE PLACES TO FIND USCrubscribe ► https://bit.ly/CrubcastGet the show early and get exclusive content at our Patreon ► https://www.patreon.com/crubOur Crubcasts are recorded LIVE at https://www.twitch.tv/crub_official every Tuesday at 7pm Eastern, with EXCLUSIVE Pre- and Post-ShowsJoin our Discord ► https://crub.org/joinBlueSky ► https://bsky.app/profile/crub.orgCome join our Steam group ► https://steamcommunity.com/groups/crubclubPodcasts are available on Apple, Google, Spotify, and other platforms are available at ► https://crub.orgTODAY'S CRUBCAST HOSTSCassandra: https://www.youtube.com/@ThatTravGuyChris: https://www.youtube.com/@MykonosFanNicco: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl56kbl3tb-KiGEHT7MUGUgMoriarty: https://www.youtube.com/@reallycoolCHAPTERS00:00 Yeah baby, yeah!

156 The 'Pick 3' Situation is Crazy
Much like how everything is crab, everything in games seems to increasingly be 'Pick 3'...well, not EVERYTHING, but it sure is becoming prevalent. You level up, 3 options appear, you pick 1, and then play for another minute until you have to pick 3 again. When it's great, it's fantastic, but as it becomes more pervasive will the charm wear off?MORE PLACES TO FIND USCrubscribe ► https://bit.ly/CrubcastGet the show early and get exclusive content at our Patreon ► https://www.patreon.com/crubOur Crubcasts are recorded LIVE at https://www.twitch.tv/crub_official every Tuesday at 7pm Eastern, with EXCLUSIVE Pre- and Post-ShowsJoin our Discord ► https://crub.org/joinBlueSky ► https://bsky.app/profile/crub.orgCome join our Steam group ► https://steamcommunity.com/groups/crubclubPodcasts are available on Apple, Google, Spotify, and other platforms are available at ► https://crub.orgSHOW NOTESHere's a free post on our Patreon of us checking out The Spell Brigade, an online co-op Survivors game:https://www.patreon.com/posts/checking-out-157909409Some of the games mentioned...The Pick 3 Slop Website:https://pick3slop.com/Gambonanza (they sent us a code, but just linking this because it's a weird name to blind-Google):https://store.steampowered.com/app/3509230/Gambonanza/Dungeon Clawler (also sent us a code, for disclosure):https://store.steampowered.com/app/2356780/Dungeon_Clawler/HUNTERxHUNTER NEWxSURVIVOR:https://hunterhunter-ns.bushimo.jp/en/TODAY'S CRUBCAST HOSTSBrody: https://www.youtube.com/@RACROXCassandra: https://www.youtube.com/@ThatTravGuyChris: https://www.youtube.com/@MykonosFanNicco: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCl56kbl3tb-KiGEHT7MUGUgCHAPTERS00:00 Discord Nitro 3 month is pick 305:19 The morphing of the roguelite genre14:27 Slay the Spire 2, too much game, not enough card22:01 "Throw it against the wall and hope it sticks" design29:14 Chris realizes that this entire subgenre is all just Hades35:13 The synergies absolve all 47:34 Should there be a "try all the cool stuff" room?55:46 Favorite scene from a bad piece of media?
