Matt, Sacco, and Marissa take on the discussion of walkthroughs and video games, including a debate on semantics – because, why not?
We start the conversation by discussing how often we turn to video game guides and walkthroughs. Whether for collectibles or to help get through games taken out from the library, all three heathens have specifics about when they rely on the help of Google to complete a part of a game.
We take a brief interlude to discuss the differences (or rather, non-existent differences) between a video game walkthrough and a video game guide. Once we get back on track, we discuss the first time Marissa ever used a walkthrough guide while playing a Legend of Zelda game. Sacco chimes in with his most frustrating experience while playing Portal 2.
We close it out with our currently played games.
Expect us to discuss the following games at some point in this podcast:
- Crash Bandicoot
- Portal
- Portal 2
- Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
- Dragon Age: Inquisition
- Dragon Age 2
- The Witcher
- NHL
- The Last of Us
- No Man's Sky
- Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War
- Crash Bandicoot: It's About Time

No stupid questions here. Join Marissa, Matthew, and Sacco each week for video game discussions. From our favourite all-time video games to games we couldn't finish, we'll be discussing a variety of video games, including Playstation, Xbox, mobile, and PC games. Weekly discussions also include games we're currently playing from all genres – with several tangents for your enjoyment. After all, when there are no stupid questions, every topic is on the table.
Genres you can expect we'll talk about include, but are certainly not limited to: role-playing games (RPGs & JRPGs), run-and-guns, first-person and third-person shooters, platformers, top-down games, open-world games, puzzles, strategy games, survival games, fighting games, racing games, stealth games, rhythm games, text adventures, and choice-based games.
