GeekNights Tuesday - Monaco: What's Yours is Mine

MrPeriod

Tonight on GeekNights, having waited since 2010 for this, we finally are able to review the fantastic Monaco. TL;DL: It's an unqualified "must buy." Recall that we interviewed Andy Schatz on the subject once. Also, Counter-Strike: GO gets an update, bringing back a classic map and a widely misunderstood Operation Payback, and Papers Please looks extremely promising.

Those Soviet posters are pretty cool. The USSR flourished in creativity before Socialist Realism became the norm.

My friend had played Papers, Please a while ago and thought someone would approach him about smuggling people for money on the side. I had suggested as a feature before playing on the developer's devlog but then played it pretty much immediately after. There is certainly a point where it looks like he was in the process of developing this as a feature. Seems like a perfect opportunity to add in some very subtle ethical quandaries.

Every time I read the title of this podcast I can't help but think of Repoman's catchphrase #wrestling

I played a bit of Papers, Please the other day and had one guy try to bribe me with money. Lots of people gave me flyers to a strip club, though.

Ok. I have been convinced. Now, I'm trying to get Jason and Kevin to get this game so we can play tonight after we record ATW9K.

Papers, Please was my Thing of the day some time ago, so I totally approve it being featured in this episode.

If you think you need to be awesome sneaky then watch some of the fast karate highlights one of the forum members recorded. It's basically absolute chaos.
