| And you all thought you'd have to wait until next year for another Gracklecast!
It's another episode of Versus Mode - this time, with your man Balladeer.
You know the format, but if you'd like to skip to the games chat and miss out on Balladeer's history, jump to 24 minutes into the cast. I tried to cut out some of the surplus chat where we're talking nonsense without stripping away everything, but it was still a bit longer than I'd like. I'll get the format down eventually.
Get your earholes directed over here. |

| Blimey I wasn't prepared another just yet. I'll give it a listen later in the week. |

| For a fun game, try to guess the games Balla's going on about before you listen to the 'cast. Jay got 3/5. I'm thinking that less than 2/5 should be grounds for a ban. |

| Why are you talking about yourself in the third person? But yes, do that! I meant to put that in the opening post actually. |

| That was a really good listen. I predicted none of your five to be honest. I was readying myself for a big JRPG SHITEATHON, but I was pleasantly surprised, and interested to hear about those five games you stuck into that vault. Magic |

| Great listen and surprising how much at least from Drunka, Myself and Balla had similar'ish history, with a odd tweak here and there.
@Jay do we have a master list for what's gone in? I remember TRP used to have one on the front page and I'd just be interested to see without having to go back to each episode. |

You're even kinder Cappa!  Cheers both! (I did of course have to feature the one JRPG.  ) |

Missed this message before I started listening but 2 games crossed my mind once Jay mentioned predicting your 5, interested to know what people think mine are, I reckon I'm mostly predictable. - Spoiler:
The two were Celeste because you rightly recognise it's amazing and Meteos because it was pictured in the Gintendo link

| I mean, Meteos was a gimme, surely? Thanks for the kind words, folks. Glad you've all seemed to enjoy it! Mas: I can rustle up a master list for the next Versus Mode, sure. |

| Thanks Smurf, glad you enjoyed!  I'd need to go back through your posts to find yours, I think. People here (self included) tend to let you know, a lot, if they like games; so if you just like them a normal amount they might get overlooked... ... Shadow of the Colossus? |

| I got around to listening when I remembered I set up that rss. You definitely took a different approach to mine of "there's no point talking about the games people have already heard me go on about" I remember listening to one part where you were saying "flipping" or something and feeling so frustrated by the classic Balladeer refusal to swear. . . But the Celeste difficulty moment was totally worth it. Belly laughing. Your selection of games was pretty quality, even if it wasn't surprising. I should clarify my Meteos thing: the issue is that I know I'll never be good enough when playing properly to get the scores I can get by not playing properly, so the game feels like a weird, false exercise to me. I know it's mostly a me issue than an issue with the game. I also know it pushes your buttons when I bring it up  |

Absolutely - I'm aiming for around 90 minutes for this show with a bit of leeway either way. I try not to chop out too much beyond the necessities like a certain podcast guest having the ABSOLUTE GALL to take a bathroom break during recording. |

| It was mostly sounds of me rustling about or typing away as I waited for you to come back - riveting audio content. |
