SIFU

Thu, 21 Mar 2024 03:10:37 GMT

Episode 2 and we're trying something new!

This month we decided to do the Sloclap Kung Fu game SIFU. We have thoughts and feelings and want to share those feelings and thoughts with you lovely people. We had fun with this episode and think you will thoroughly enjoy it and want to then go play it and talk to us about it on discord! Sound like a plan? Yes? Yes!

Prepare for a little bit of whiplash as we go from cackling side rants to a sincere chat about inclusiveness and actually pretty important things. Lindsey, Steph and Marlee get together to talk about Hogwarts Legacy, going over the good, the bad, and the ugly of the game. We discuss our neighbor Avalanche Software, the uselessness of the game's quidditch coach (as well as our respective quidditch positions), antisemitism, and a disingenuous use of a powerful platform, letting people be the tour guide to their world, and pickles. Oh, and please always keep reading with the kids in your life!

Hang onto your cupcakes! Linds and Mar dive in (or rather fall in) to a walled in cyberpunk world and discuss Stray! We do our best to not talk (and cry) just about how much we love cats, and to cover this delightful little indie cat adventure game. Steph couldn't make it this time, but our irl cats (Marlee's Harvey and Lindsey's Hamilton) step up to the plate to try to fill the void.

Side Mission: The Stanley Parable (Ultra Deluxe Version)

Wed, 22 Feb 2023 13:00:37 GMT

It's the first "smission" of Cutscenes and Cupcakes Season 6! In this side mission episode, Steph and Marlee explore the office, and more significantly the game boundaries of The Stanley Parable, testing a sassy narrator to their limits. Unlike this mind-bending game which has dozens of endings, this episode has one. (Or does it?!) Marlee gets creepy vibes from the game, and Steph gives creepy vibes in the direction of a long lost teachers assistant/crush.

Lindsey gets so excited for next weeks episode, she gets a nasty case of bronchitis and takes the day off. (Also I did edit and listen thoroughly, I'm still leaving the Steph's "cough-ee" induced coughing in!)

Side Mission: Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 & 2

Wed, 14 Sep 2022 12:00:18 GMT

Cannibalism and body art? (Not the pretty kind but the murdery kind?) An all out power struggle between Steph and Linds? Carmello Bars?! A battery failure in the middle of the episode?! What is this episode even about?!

This episode is, as Steph put it, very Tony Hawk light and much more about crinkles (please forgive us and our Salted Caramel Twix), cackles, and candy. But we do eventually touch upon some Tony Hawk, the icon, and the iconic Tony Hawk game. Marlee wears a poodle skirt for her Halloween costume, Steph is insubordinate and the pro skater of the group, and Lindsey is power hungry but she did get to see Sum 41 at warped tour.
