Infinite Cities
Four friends who met over the shared love of a video game, now meet weekly to play through some of the best games, book club style, and then talk about them.
Blue Prince (2025): Are You Enjoying Taking Notes?
Important Announcement! This weekend is Taco De Minecraft!
It's our annual community livestream, except way, way more chill - so chill it's just going to be in the voice channels of the Taco Stand Discord. We're going to hang out! We're going to play Minecraft! We might play some other games? The day is full of potential! The only thing that is certain is you should consider donating to the Southern California Immigration Project, here: https://www.socalimmigrationproject.org/donate

Minecraft (2009/2025): Gary, Why Don't You Like Minecraft?
What the heck is left to say about "minecraft?". What are we even doing here?
For god's sake, it's so big even microsoft notepad (which has a spellchecker now) knows what minecraft is, inasmuch it wants me to capitalize every instance of the word. I'm manually de-capitalizing this. Capitalization is for corpos, except the title of this episode, becuase while I don't respect trademark laws, I do respect the laws of grammar. Don't at me to tell me minecraft is a proper noun and thus this is actually a law of grammar I'm violating.

Lil Gator Game (2022): Where Did They Get All This Plywood?
Turn back your internal clock to when you were ~6 years old, and your sister played impressively built imaginary adventures with you. Time to get the gang back together to do it one more time.
In this ep: trampoline skipping, talking in small letters only, breaking kayfabe, sibling age gaps, big scary whale, every game needs a ragdoll button.

Nine Sols (2024): Why Didn't You Parry It?
You have to admire and respect games that are willing to be themselves so strongly that they turn people off. Nine Sols is willing to give you just a little bit of a hand (amazing difficulty sliders), but if that can't get you over the hump - all of its worldbuilding and art and laser-tight combat just aren't for you. Nine Sols' purity of will is so strong, it can even parry you.
In this episode: Nerts! NES difficulty, eventually every piece of video game criticism will devolve into pointing at dark souls and grunting, backtracking, being fu...
We ♥ Katamari REROLL+ Royal Reverie (2021): Can We Talk About How Cool The King of All Cosmos Is?
Karp got rolled up in a katamari and is now a star in the sky, but the rest of us are still trapped here in the Select Plaza trying to help a dog roll up the Sun!
in this episode: you roll stuff up, getting bigger faster, under the sea, the judgement of the king, shit on purpose, pole-vaulting with the katamari, hoping you go the right direction, the worst bird of all time, rolling the sun up for that dog, just do a couple katamaris, welcome to the pompadour zone, significant bulge action, katamari h...
