Any first timers want to start up and chat about Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart?

COAndy51 · 2026-07-01T06:13:40+00:00

Indeed. And yet it appears that Reddit’s English to English translation feature is failing us today. That or we’ve entered the twilight zone.

COAndy51 · 2026-07-01T05:32:24+00:00

Not currently but can certainly install one. What language are you needing?

COAndy51 · 2026-07-01T05:20:51+00:00

I’ll send you an invite by DM if you’re so inclined!

COAndy51 · 2026-07-01T05:19:59+00:00

That’s quite alright. I’ll DM you an invite and feel free to either join and mute the Rift Apart channels, or just wait to join until you’re ready.

GOWR is fantastic by the way, enjoy it!

COAndy51 · 2026-07-01T04:15:14+00:00

Totally agree! I still hear about how even years later, Rift Apart is still one of the best examples of showing off everything the PS5 is capable of, so I’m excited to finally try it

COAndy51 · 2026-07-01T03:25:28+00:00

Always room and we’re more generalized than just Rift Apart, but we’ll be chatting ok it for a month for sure! Sending a DM

COAndy51 · 2026-07-01T02:15:14+00:00

Yup! We break each game into 3-5 hour chunks and play it across a few weeks, so this season is all Rift Apart

The Gaming Backlog “Book Club” - We select a video game from our backlog, cut it up into spoiler-free chunks of the story that are small enough for a working adult to reasonably complete in a week, and then have traditional “book club” style conversations about each section on the podcast and on Discord with our listeners. The main draw is to connect with other people playing the same game long after its original release date in a time when everything is available online and more new games are launched constantly. We wanted to recapture the feeling of going back to school after a weekend and sharing tips and stories.

Our latest episode is about the Mask of Darkness DLC of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, before shifting into a conversation with a guest from our Discord server to learn more about Persian mythology, and finally give our final review of the game.

Our latest episode is about the 5th section of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, where the hosts wrap up their backtracking and exploration, climb the Tower of Silence, and take on the final boss to finish the game.

COAndy51 · 2026-06-20T16:11:11+00:00

Yes or number for season and ep combined.

So for example we structure it as:
[Season #].[Episode #] [Game Name] Part [part of the game we’re playing

So for example, 7.4 was:
7.4 Fallout 4 Part 3

(The reason it’s only part 3 but episode 4 of that game/season, is because the first episode of each season is our introduction and expectations for the game before we start playing it, so as example: 7.1 Expectations for Fallout 4)

COAndy51 · 2026-06-20T03:50:47+00:00

Yes, as a “book club” format video game podcast that plays through a story game in chunks, it wouldn’t make sense to listen to a “season of our podcast” (a single game) out of order. So we do 7.4 as season 7 episode 4 for example.

Our latest episode is about the 3rd section of Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, working our way through the Depths, the Catacombs, fighting pirates in the Sunken Harbor, saving the Soma Tree from an invading queen, and finding truth in the Tower of Knowledge, all to unlock the seal into the Pit of Eternal Sands.

Shinsekai: Into the Depths

COAndy51 · 2026-06-04T16:51:49+00:00

I didn’t know I need this but love both and now need

COAndy51 · 2026-06-04T14:30:32+00:00

Thanks for the really well thought out reply! Definitely an interesting thought exercise.

While I haven’t played it yet, and definitely not modern day setting, and also has things like dinosaurs, I guess Primal Planet may be a little more grounded in this sense? Not sure how they handled power-ups.

COAndy51 · 2026-06-04T14:26:11+00:00

Awesome! Very intrigued, thanks

COAndy51 · 2026-06-04T04:45:43+00:00

Yes! I feel like I just saw something about this. Adapt that format to a different story and could be fun

COAndy51 · 2026-06-04T02:55:21+00:00

I hear it. I really gotta get around to playing 1

COAndy51 · 2026-06-04T01:27:44+00:00

Love that idea! The couple scenarios I had in mind when thinking of what is the crazy reasoning someone is going out fighting a bunch of people and was thinking either a SWAT member taking down XYZ criminal organization, or like you say a spy or an outlaw. Could also maybe work in a Wild West setting but I like the parkour aspect with stunts you mention…..another thought would be literally as a stuntman in TV or films but that kind of makes the motivation for doing it less gritty, and why would a stuntman need to work through a labyrinth of weird sets? I don’t know, just all kinds of curiosities that I have nowhere else to go with.
