    WPR 569 - The Final Episode
    Jun 2 2023
    These are difficult words to type, but welcome to the final episode of Waypoint Radio. After sharing some thoughts on the excellent Street Fighter 6 and the promising but technically challenged new Telltale-style Star Trek game, the final Waypoint lineup–Rob, Ren, Patrick, and Cado–reminisce about the end of Waypoint. It’s as much a trip down memory lane as it is a signpost towards the future, as we reveal our post-Waypoint plans. Thanks for the memories.

    Patrick misses the start of the podcast so Rob hits the crew with his Persuadertron and gets everyone excited to talk about Syndicate (2012).

    The Final Sports!
    May 25 2023
    Rob and Patrick talk sports, perhaps for the last time. They discuss the Chicago Bears' regular season schedule and discover some shocking overlap on their predictions, then discuss a disappointing season of Ted Lasso and a creeping undercurrent of misogyny to its subplots. Then they discuss the NBA and Playoff Jimmy Butler.

    WPR Episode 567 - Playin' it Straight
    May 23 2023

    It’s the penultimate week of Waypoint, and the crew is having a normal one—more normal than Overwatch 2, anyway. But first, Patrick’s checking out Humanity, where you help guide human souls to the afterlife…as a dog. Then, we dive into the confusing Mortal Kombat "1," Rob’s second (??) playthrough of Resident Evil 2, and praise the new cinematic platformer Planet of Lana. Finally, Patrick has concluding thoughts on Jedi: Survivor, and we debate a few contraptions people have made in Tears of the Kingdom before dipping into the question bucket.


    Discussed: Humanity 2:06, Overwatch 2 Cancels its PvE Mode 16:53, Mortal Kombat 1 33:28, Resident Evil 2 44:50, Planet of Lana 58:06, Astro’s Playroom 1:07:49, Star Wars Jedi Survivor 1:17:26, The Question Bucket 1:36:33, Tears of the Kingdom 1:37:13, The Question Bucket 1:46:40

    WPR Episode 566 - Tears of the Podcast
    May 16 2023
    Why is Waypoint crying? It's not because we’re weeks from being laid off, it's because The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, lets you make a flying contraption that's three birds kissing. Beautiful. Patrick, Ren, and Cado have put some hours into Breath of the Wild's sequel, and have many feelings about its opening areas, uneven tutorialization, and more. Listen in as we regale stories of ridiculous inventions, surprising darkness, and turning Link into a human bullet. Then, we (re)consider the question bucket, old and new, and look towards the moon.

    May 12 2023
    The time has come to put an end to a cycle. My Turn’s final movie aptly cover’s Arrival (2016), Denis Villeneuve’s Sci-Fi take on alien life, language, and living with grief.We discuss the film’s gripping emotional core, stellar soundtrack, and not-really-a-twist twist that make this an enduring film. We answer listener questions, and also reminisce about future My Turns that could’ve been.

    Episode 565 - The Haunting of Renata Price
    May 9 2023

    The show is off the rails as it begins without warning mid-conversation around tales of retail work. Then we dig into the evolving experiences of Darkest Dungeon 2, and check back in with Rob to try and understand why Redfall feels like a completely different game playing alone. Then Patrick has found the true weapon of the Jedi in Jedi: Survivor, and it's basically a great axe, not a lightsaber. Finally, the crew returns to the bucket.


    Discussed: Question Bucket 20:48, Darkest Dungeon 2 32:50, Question,Bucket? 42:11, Redfall 51:03, Jedi Survivor 1:23:10, Question Bucket! 1:42:02, Outro and Announcements 1:49:43

    WPR Episode 564 - The Bucket Provides
    May 5 2023

    As we wind down our podcasts here at Waypoint Radio, segments have started to take on a mind of their own. The Question Bucket demands satisfaction, and Rob is going to try his damnedest to please it. Speaking of pleasing, unfortunately that is exactly what Redfall is not, even when the whole crew got together to give the multiplayer a go. After the break, Ren managed to make it out to a preview event for Street Fighter VI, and is happy to learn that the new systems in the game make it much more interesting than its predecessor. Then we dip back into the question bucket to discuss criticism and the concept of "making up a guy to who likes things to write a review for."


    Discussed: The question bucket 00:00, Redfall 4:20, The Question Bucket 56:12, Street Fighter VI 1:00:21, The Question bucket 1:18:02, Outro and announcements 1:33:59
