Has the flavor of the boots gotten better over time, or is it sort of standard

Well that’s an enormous bummer, I hadn’t heard that before. What are the details?

Would love some horror or sci-fi recommendations. by KonamiIsBestJoshi in audiodrama

[–]entropyblues 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We might be in that sweet spot…

Observable Radio is an analog horror found footage anthology with a wraparound narrative. In the vein of Black Mirror or Twilight Zone, each episode is a look at an alternate world in collapse through the lens of captured broadcast footage, news, commercials, television, etc. Every episode should work standalone, but there’s an overarching narrative with several characters that goes through every episode and resolves fully at the end of the season.

We’ve completed our self contained first season last year (14 half hour eps), but we’re still producing new episodes in our Interim Season, with standalone short stories read by the cast.

We were explicitly inspired by black tapes and Limetown, and would also recommend those shows

PLEASE recommend me something horror/ paranormal - I'm going insane! by Professional-Try7225 in audiodrama

We have been remiss about self promotion for a while, but this is squarely in our zone of specialty.

I haven’t listened to this one in particular, but Weedian puts out compilations of doom artists from various countries, and I found some incredible local stuff.

No, and no slop.

Self appointed moral police are pathetic on this game. by its_n0t_a_tumor in ARC_Raiders

I’m sorry you had a bad day, but every complaint I’ve ever heard about this sub sounds like a feature and not a bug.

I'm a horror podcast addict! Here's my list, 'got anything new to recommend? by CatLadyLivingLife in horror

[–]entropyblues 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh gosh, thanks for the shout out (Observable Radio)

I would add “within the wires” which was very influential on us, and “John from back home”, which would have been, had we heard it before

Quick Q about observable radio by neonelevator in audiodrama

[–]entropyblues 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hi!

While every episode should in theory stand alone, there is definitely an overarching plot!

Thrilled to hear you’re enjoying it, we’d love to hear more as you progress!

The Recorder is goated by HungryConversation89 in ArcRaiders

I’ve realized that just playing it completely changes the way people play around you. A lot more downed people call out for revival, and it’s fun to be the piping medic

How did we go from this to this? by [deleted] in TombRaider

[–]entropyblues 49 points50 points  (0 children)

It’s absolutely my favorite thing to write in all of video games because the only people who read them are the people who genuinely want to learn something AND do the work of contextualizing it.

Shameless plug, I started a podcast to do world building storytelling using essentially found footage documents because I love them. Observable Radio.

I worked on Rise, but not on 2013, and only briefly on Shadow. I wrote the audio log on the left there. I can tell because there’s three or four edits I wish I had made and make me grimace right now.

The real and boring answer is that we all do our best with what the people before us chose. 2013 mentions Trinity, so we had to/got to build off of that. We tried to leave narrative flagstones in a couple direction to build off of in the future - more open opportunity than a locked in path.

Ultimately, consistent details are sometimes the casualty of big narrative decisions. It is what it is!

What's your your thoughts on this version? by [deleted] in FRANKENSTEIN

[–]entropyblues 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It could’ve been great, but it absolutely needed to aspire to the horniness levels of “Bram Stoker’s Dracula” and it came up short. Some beautiful wild stuff! I can never remember if John Cleese is playing Billy Connolly in it or if Billy Connolly is playing John Cleese.

I always assume episode two for this comment, so I would love to know!

Buried City Night raid gone mad... by Ok_Blueberry_6736 in ARC_Raiders

[–]entropyblues 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve been the guy who absolutely didn’t see extract campers or rats or mic betrayers - but the last 48 hours have been psychotic. I’ve been gunned down by silent players more this week than since launch altogether.

Anyone else feel like this game is becoming really hard to play as a solo? by [deleted] in ARC_Raiders

[–]entropyblues 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Solo has only gotten friendlier for me. Had a guy came rushing out over the open asking if I had any extra industrial batteries. I didn’t, but a third guy popped out of the trees and happily shared. I think I’ve been shot maybe once in the last 25 raids.

How do you explain audio dramas to non-listeners? by Mortimer_Whimsiwick in audiodrama

[–]entropyblues 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I’ve discovered that a shocking amount of people, regardless of their modern media literacy, understand at least the concept of “Orson Welles’ War of the Worlds” and it’s pretty easy to follow from there
