293: Splatoon Raiders, Shards of Order, PANIC! Giveaway
This week we open by stringing together some games industry news stories, and looking for a pattern: namely, Sony nixing discs, high hardware costs, and Xbox trialling streaming with ads. Then we move into lighter territory, with some thoughts on video game tarot decks, Shards Of Order, and Splatoon Raiders.I also launch a brand new patron in partnership with PANIC!, esteemed indie publisher, and the makers of Playdate. New, returning, or upgrading patrons at the Midi tier+ can get a free Steam code for Time Flies, Blippo+, or Despelote — exactly the kind of artistic, interesting video games this podcast was made to talk about. It's also an excuse to lend GITW some (much needed) financial support. Just join up here and I'll be in touch with your code: http://patreon.com/gaminginthewild. Special thanks to my Boss and Benefactor tier patrons: KingChamp, SusannaMaria, Drellesh, Rhyistic Studies, Nate, Noah, Jeremy 1, Jeremy 2, Andrew, and Glenn.Hop here for social links, Steam curator page, the contact form, and everything else: http://gaminginthewild.com.Thanks for listening!

292: Black Flag, Vampire Crawlers, Cobalt Core & More
This week's episode is a grab bag featuring some chat about the Assassin's Creed Black Flag remake, which is pretty true to the original, with some significant fixes; Cobalt Core, a nice little sick deckbuilder I picked up in the Steam Summer Sale; Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, another winning title in Capcom's banner year; and Vampire Crawlers, which won me over slowly until I'd played the whole dang thing.Join Patreon for Discord and extras, including a free game code: http://patreon.com/gaminginthewild.

288: Pragmata, Mixtape
This week's podcast is a double-header: we have a full featured review of the excellent, original, surprising Pragmata — and a pretty chunky look at the recently released and well-reviewed (and regrettably review-bombed) Mixtape.
