Episode 137 - Dance Clubs, Police Dramas, and Planetary Exploration

59 minutes Posted Sep 8, 2025 at 6:22 am.

Running with rhythm, the promotional materials description, and what drill music is

Don’t stop listening, catching El Salvador, and just a nice guy delivering for FedEx

Translated rap tracks, atmospherically appropriate, and pushing buttons to the beat

Needed a little more polish, getting gassed, platform puzzles, and closing the show

The origin of Cop Rock and other facts, Bob Iger is responsible, and reverse GTA

Officer Norah, a memorable quote, gaining experience, and many negative spaces

The daily gameplay loop, helicopter segments, and calling in backup officer support

A decent variety of crimes to stop, the gangs of Averno, and advancing the narrative

Informants hung out to dry, random safes in the city, street racing, and a bland story

What a sandbox is/isn’t, non-linear progression, and overlap with open world games

An arcade-like experience, Frank Bullitt, licensed 80s music, and if you like cops…

Not talking about our own planet, a sequel, and the promotional material description

Norah has many questions, the cartoon comedy, and a pile of bodies in the desert

Throwing lava, orange goo, perpetual trailer deaths, and anti-consumerism adverts

Entertained to death, a Google game development incident, and trouble with Stadia

Enjoyable platform-style exploration, experiment bait, and using hoses and lassos

The trailer told Norah nothing about the game, another trailer, and other mechanics

Trailer composition preferences, minimalist base decoration, and Ben’s final verdict
