New episode of Damage Per Pod is up! @damagepersecond.bsky.social and I set out to discuss Control, the latest in our run of Remedy’s games. We somehow also end up talking about Evangelion and Running Scared. Give it a listen if you like.

Back to the Remedy-Verse with CONTROL or The Concrete Throwing Simulator
Control sets up Alan Wake 2 deliciously and the Oldest House is kinda a place I would love to stay in forever?

Our podcast is like a Chris Nolan film
I recommend starting in the middle, listening until the end, then going back to the beginning to see how we ended up in the middle. Or just listen to it like a normal person. Either way works.
Aw yeah - @misterbones.bsky.social and I are back with this month's podcast on @remedygames.com QUANTUM BREAK. Still amazing stuff in 2025 - please enjoy!

QUANTUM BREAK - Time Has Been Kind to this Ambitious Title
Almost a decade later but Remedy was providing gameplay framework for Control and Alan Wake 2.
