“By the Scribes, we gather in their names. To face the Nightwings here before the flames.” In 2017 Supergiant games returned with the launch of their next game. A unique complement of high fantasy role playing game and pseudo sports simulator. Join Rich, Leah, Brian and James as Cane and Rinse makes a return to the Supergiant Games oeuvre to discuss Pyre, it's prescient themes, and inspect what Supergiant learned from this experience to conquer the gaming world with 2021's Hades. [CONTENT WARNING. Pyre deals with issues of authoritarian governments oppressing and subjugating their population. This show heavily features discussion of ostracism, punishment, bigotry and revolution. Reference is made to the current ongoing women's and human rights issues in the United States at the time of recording. Some listeners may find this distressing.

“What kind of family finishes building a cemetery before starting the house?” An interactive rumination on what death means to the living, is one way to describe Giant Sparrow's follow-up to The Unfinished Swan.

“GOAL IN!” Although Taito ultimately followed up the original with some more formulaic, direct type sequels, Rainbow Islands tells the real and true Story of Bubble Bobble 2. Leon, Karl and guest Sadie Flayeh - along with correspondents from the Cane and Rinse community - muse on a more innocent time, when the deliriously cute and colourful Rainbow Islands was widely available on then-contemporary systems and a beloved part of the late 80s/early 90s gaming zeitgeist.     http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_521.mp3   Music featured in this issue: 1.

“Oh, you smell nice. Like mock-apples.” Our Tony's pick for the year's podcasts is The Outer Worlds. Not to be confused with Outer Wilds (Issue 500). Leon, Karl, Leah, Tony and community contributors review their experiences with Obsidian's 2019 first -person action RPG, from the creators of the original Fallout CRPG and Fallout: New Vegas.

“Start your engines!” Getting on for five years since our first Super Mario Kart podcast (and five years on from the release of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe), we finally conclude our series of shows on the venerable Mario Kart series.

“You could think of things in your mind and then make them happen.” In honour of the legendary British coder's 60th birthday, we bring you a new type of Cane and Rinse podcast focused entirely on the career and work of one single developer - Jeff Minter. Leon, Chris, Jesse, Chris Worthington (Retro Asylum) and Sean Bell (The Computer Game Show) - along with contributions from the Cane and Rinse community - come together to celebrate over four decades of zapping Zzyaxians, luminous lights, psychedelic sounds, rampaging ruminants and undulating ungulates. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_510.mp3   Music featured in this issue: 1.  Thermal Resolution by Ian Howe/Alastair Lindsay/Kevin Saville - Tempest 2000 2.

“ONE PLAYER ONLY” In the third of our current run of Castlevania series podcasts, we arrive at the 1988 arcade game, Haunted Castle. Although the title began its development as an unrelated action horror game, Konami saw the potential of cashing in on the success of the Famicom and MSX series, and so released it as Akumaj? Dracula. Leon, Michiel, Tony, returning guest (and Haunted Castle tatsujin) Ben Cartlidge reflect upon this widely derided work, as well as looking in depth at the varied experiences offered by the various ROM sets. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_509.mp3   Music featured in this issue:1.
