[PREVIEW] Watch Out for Fireballs! 529: Pacific Drive (Premium)
Do you love cars? Are you ready to be forced to love a very specific car? That’s what Pacific Drive is all about, you and your car against a bizarre zone of anomalous chaos. It’s not quite horror, and the survival mechanics aren’t everything you’d expect them to be, but this roguelike will challenge you to take care of your station wagon so it will take care of you. It’s just too bad that the story and tone are a shade too cartoony for the gravitas the developers were aiming for.This is a premium episode!

Watch Out for Fireballs 528: The Saboteur
Pandemic Studios really knew what they were doing, and it’s a real shame their style of destruction-based open world games didn’t become the norm. That’s how you’ll feel when you play the Saboteur, the studio’s swan song. You are Sean Devlin, an Irish racecar driver who joins the French Resistance during World War II to get revenge on the Nazis. You may only be aware of this game because of its black and white-to-color visual trick, but there’s so much more to recommend it.

Duckfeed is Evolving
Hey folks! This will be a longer post detailing some changes that are coming up for Duckfeed in the next few months. When we ask listeners what they like about the network, they'll often bring up our transparency. It's one of our main values, so that's why we will be providing the rationale for each announcement so you know why we're making the changes.There will be a TL;DR at the end for those who just want to see what's changing.Big TL;DR at the top: Nobody's prices are raising. Quite the contrary. If you're grandfathered you're still grandfathered, and you'll be getting more stuff.If you've paid attention this summer, you've noticed that we've been doing some new stuff... like actually promoting ourselves on social media. This is the result of conversations we're having about the future of the network, what's working, what isn't, and most of all how we can grow. We've taken information we gathered in the most recent surveys and making these changes to hopefully get bigger as a network.In order to grow, we are simplifying our Patreon, offering more, and changing what it means for shows and episodes to be premium or public. Additionally, we are removing self-imposed limitations on our most popular shows in order to plan more effectively and intentionally and ultimately make a better product.With all of that in mind, here we go:One paid membership tier at $7Splitting show offerings across multiple tiers sucks to communicate about! It's muddled. If you come to Duckfeed and want to give us money, we want it to be easy to understand what you're getting, and the most valuable thing we can offer is content.So everyone who wants premium content will back at the Duck tier at $7 monthly, or $77 per year, and you'll get everything. This includes everything that is currently premium, even things that are currently at the Eagle tier. We want people to hear Adaptation Decay and QuakStak! You'll also get anything we cook up for Duckfeed Presents, or limited run seasonal series like Future CIA Torture Songs.This will be in addition to a Free Tier which gets you access to our Discord community. There will be higher tiers that are strictly suggestions for people who want to support us more out of the kindness of their hearts.We will be leaving your pledges in place as they are, just changing what is available at the available tiers. If you are currently grandfathered at the $5 tier, you will still get the extra content.Fewer premium shows, more premium episodesOur most popular shows, the ones featuring Gary and Kaye hosting together, will all be moving to the same premium model that Watch Out for Fireballs! is on. That is, the shows will be public but one episode per month will be premium.Specifically, this change affects Abject Suffering, Real Lich Hours, Unfilmable, and Bonfireside Chat (when it comes back). Everything to Guppy, The Level, Adaptation Decay, and QuakStak are unchanged.It makes the most sense to us to spread the WOFF! model across the network to make things more uniform. And it works better with the aforementioned Patreon tier changes. We understand that it will be awkward for a public listener to have those gaps, but if they like the show we want them to patronize us... and we're sick of pretending we don't want them to!What this means for Real Lich Hours: The timeframe for Real Lich Hours episodes going (mostly) public is ASAP.What this means for Abject Suffering: One Abject Suffering episode per month will be premium, and this will be communicated.A Note on Bonfireside Chat and the Duskbloods: We do not know if Bonfireside Chat is coming back for the Duskbloods. The network test made it feel like more Nightreign and thus resistant to our treatment. There are changes coming to the full version that might make it more suitable. Keep an ear out.Content that was released as premium previously will remain premium unless we opt to make it public for promotional reasons.Unfilmable is going weeklyUnfilmable is consistently the most popular show on our Patreon that doesn't somehow relate to FromSoft. We're very proud of it, we love doing it, we want to do more of it, and we want more people to hear it.To that end, Unfilmable will be released weekly, with one episode per month being premium. This will necessitate some changes in format. Do you remember our episode on The Substance? A looser conversation rather than a play by play? More episodes will follow that form

Watch Out for Fireballs 527: Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel
We’re running out of Fallout games to cover! Which means we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel to bring you a close look at the memory-holed PS2 and XBox entry into the series: Brotherhood of Steel. It’s a Dark Alliance-like that demonstrates that one of those can actually be a lot worse than the others, and it’s all made worse by how poorly it handles the Fallout setting.Highlighted project: Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy

Watch Out for Fireballs 525: Ogre Battle 64 (Part 2)
This week we continue our discussion of Ogre Battle 64, a sprawling and mysterious strategy game that eventually sheds the need for using strategy all together. It’s also a story of revolution that stops being about a revolution partway through. This leaves us in the frustrating position of wanting to like it more than we actually do.Thanks again Will for executive producing this!Our highlighted project for this week is the creator Mech Amalia, who reviews Gunpla and plays games on her YouTube channel and Instagram.

Watch Out For Fireballs 524: Ogre Battles 64 (Part 1)
Ogre Battle 64: Person of Lordly Caliber was a big game that many, including us, missed out on. It’s a followup to a cult classic RTS for the SNES, and it follows Magnus Gallant, a young noble who ends up leading a revolution against his own kingdom. This is a strange game mostly known for its obscure mechanics, but it’s very much in the vein of Final Fantasy Tactics and Tactics Ogre in its story and presentation.This episode covers the game’s generalities, the prologue, and the first chapter.Big thanks to Will for executive producing this episode!
