This week, dear listeners, theElectronic Wireless Show podcasturges you to think small, as we take a look at our favourite little details in games that don’t need to be there, and yet are. The strange Easter eggs, the loving little inclusions, the proverbial mint popped on the digipillow of your entertainment. Matthew talks aboutRed Dead Redemption 2, obviously, the big mass entertainment-liker.
Diversions this week include the fact that Nate imagines game characters are whatever size they appear on his screen, conspiracy theories about Avril Lavigne (side note: totally forgot she was married to Chad Kroeger for a while there, and also that Chad Kroeger cut his hair), and an extended series of in-jokes that will sort the TRUFANS of EWS, the Shergar’s Heart Squad, from the fake haters.

LinksMatthew goes on aboutMetal Gear Solidand the ice cubes in it, but I can’t remember which one and frankly I do not care to. The one about eating frogs? That one?
We also talk about about the mud inRise Of The Shadow Of The Sequel Of The Tomb Raidersnow in Red Dead 2,The Division, andAssassin’s Creed Valhalla. Also heap praise on AC Valhalla having a tiny reference to Homestar Runner.
Nate is legally obligated to mentionAge Of Empires IIevery week. This week it is in reference to the animals in it.
Here is the video of the dragons inSkyrimmodded to be Randy Savage.
Recommendationsthis week are to check out theSteam pagefor Fishkeeper, a game about being an aquarist, andthe mashup work of DJ Cummerbund; 7Up Free and 7Up Free Cherry (although this was contentious, and we have now agreed that we cannot veto each other’s recommendations); and to have a nice bath (possibly withvampire-themed bath bombs).
Here is theRage 2reveal trailer, which fuckingripsand is unfortunately way more colourful and awesome than the game turned out to be.
