12 maart 2025 · 1 uur 40 min
R. Floppy K., Jr. can’t keep Matt and PushingUpRoses down. These two are gonna push through all the colds, the tiny guacabowli bowls, the loneliness, and the fork-and-knife taco crowd to play some Next Fest Demos! Lees meer
We warmed you up last week, but this week we dive FULLY IN to some cool demos. But first, we have a long talk about player choice in games and the merits of seeing “everything” in a game, all because Matt misses his ancient robot.
Plus, Matt is sick and WILL HE SURVIVE TIL THE END OF THE EPISODE?! Listen to find out!

5 maart 2025 · 1 uur 32 min
You know him, you love him; The one and only Dave Gilbert is on the show this week to talk about our relationships to gaming as we all get older. Is nostalgia inherently good or bad? Is ET for Atari as artistic a feat as Perfect Tides? We get really really deep into it. Lees meer

Episode 46 – Cabernet and Adventure RPGS
20 februari 2025 · 1 uur 38 min
Roses and Matt roll up their characters and embark on an adventure, avoiding Killer Tomatoes and sadistic oral surgeons, leveling up their scratching skills with Itch Simulator VR 4000, and making their way to becoming full-fledged blood-drinking vampires! Lees meer
This week, we discuss the new vampire game Cabernet, an adventure/RPG hybrid in which you live two months as a vampire in a small eastern European town in the 1800’s. We review the game and talk about the differences in our playthroughs. Then, we discuss the intersection between RPGs and Adventure Games, and what makes a game lean more heavily to either side.
Also, we rank some adventure games we’ve never heard of and wonder what the word “Cabernet” means.

Also, about this intro, all we can say is we’re sorry. The views and opinions of Elmo do not represent those of your hosts, Matt Aukamp and PushingUpRoses. We do not endorse Elmo and we’re sorry for platforming him in this way. You can read all three of our full Notes App apologies on Hanson Swansen’s Xanga page. Hanson Swansen wrote one, too, but we’re not sure why. He mostly just uses it to talk about S.E.O. and AI-driven engagement metrics.
