Podcast #267 – The Hungry Bikers

On this uphill episode of the Shut Up & Sit Down Podcast, Tom is rambling to Matt about a couple bits and bobs he’s played recently! First up is Flamme Rouge’s ‘Grand Tour’ expansion, that turns a simple session of Flamme Rouge into a month long tour! Is it as good as it was when Matt played it just seven short years ago? Find out here! That’s then followed by a little recommendation for a recent Oink title – Moving Wild – before capping the podcast off with a bit of retrospective chat regarding SETI: Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence after our recent(ish) middling review… Thanks for listening everyone! Have a great weekend!

GHOSTS ON THE MOON: SU&SD Play Wilmot’s Warehouse

A simple and silly one for you folks this time! As part of our team’s work on Wilmot’s Warehouse, we handled all of the VIDEO BITS, on account of that being a thing that we can DO. We originally just filmed this playthrough as a means of having snippets we could then use to illustrate the game being played, but the session was so fun that Matt decided to jazz it up and post the whole thing as a playthrough. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
