Watch Out for Fireballs! 247: Wolfenstein The New Order (Premium)
🕑 Added 2019-08-15 17:00:00 +0000 UTCHey! We look back at the surprisingly and tragically relevant 2014 game Wolfenstein: The New Order. Getting it out of the way: Fuck nazis and rest in peace Heather Heyer.
The whole episode isn't that though. TNO is not only a surprisingly affecting narrative, it's also a sharp shooter in its own right with wonderfully sketched out characters and pathos to spare. Give it a listen.

Super slowpoke listening to this one, but the minsunderstanding of feminism talk made me want to share this track by a really rad chicana riotgrrrl band from SATX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJS3RMw9O14 "I'm not trying to bring you down man, I just want us to meet in the middle"

One game that does some similar things thematically that might be worth checking out is Mafia III. Some really cathartic set pieces against KKK, etc. Unfortunately a lot of it is hidden amongst way too much Far Cry style open world stuff, but it still has some really resonant high points.

Everything about The New Order aches. I feel it in the soundtrack, in B.J.'s voice, his bones, his mind and spirit. Even the heavy machinery creaks and aches. The world is in pain. A masterpiece in narrative and world building, although it really shouldn't be.

I always had a sneaking suspicion Gary was an ex-navy walrus, glad this episode finally put the theory to rest

I was not prepared for Sieg Howdy.

Underrated Duckfeed thing is how every episode Kole corrects Gary on some weird word pronunciation and then the show turns into a Tim Heidecker bit for 30 seconds. ☺️

Yes!

I thought you guys did this one?I fucking love love love Youngblood. It may be the most “woke” game of 2019, but I am absolutely here for it/need it.

So glad you guys finally did The New Order! It's a series I have a ton of affection for, so I'm glad it leans in the direction it does. It doesn't shy away from it's bonkers-ass alternate history universe and even pushes that angle harder in the sequel.
