About the episode
Who says the year is starting slowly? In Patch Notes, Ben and Matt break down the release of hot-button free-to-play shooter Highguard, the latest signs of decline at Ubisoft, and highlights from Microsoft’s Xbox Developer Direct. Then they go on a Side Quest to discuss Matt’s panic purchase of a gaming PC before reaching their Main Quest: spoiler-free recommendations for four indie gems from January (their Game of the Young Year, Cairn, plus Mio: Memories in Orbit, TR-49, and Perfect Tides: Station to Station). After that, they play Mash or Pass with new big-screen adaptation Return to Silent Hill. Finally, Ben brings on gaming YouTube legend Markiplier to discuss his horror adaptation: the self-financed film Iron Lung.
