Tracy Harwood Podcast Episodes July 9, 2025 Leave a reply

“Courage is not the absence of fear, it is acting in spite of it.” Yep, never a truer few words than said in jest. This week, we discuss a cutscene extravanza of Arthur’s life story in the game, apparently endorsed by Roger Clark himself. Its a story told in three acts, supported by some great musical choices, even if we don’t completely agree on that. What we do agree on is that Charles Liu has done a superb job of selecting just the right shots to portray the character. Check out our review, watch the film and do add your own thoughts.

This brings back so many memories for us, the 1980s and 90s, Frank Drebin’s utter incompetence and Leslie Neilsen’s brilliance. Hat Loving Gamer has excelled himself with this interpretation, taking in a bunch of retro games – everything from PacMan to Mario and then adding in a bit of Halo and GTA for good measure. Our selection of this film also has absolutely nothing to do with the launch of NS2 or the announcement of a new NG movie… Enjoy the discussion.
