Bullet Points

In the debut episode of Jewel Case, Ed talks to Tim Oxton, creator of Silkbulb Test, Flathead, and Future Racer 2000. /// Jewel Cases is a new interview series, hosted by Ed Smith and modelled after Criterion Closet videos, where an individual developer picks and discusses a handful of the games that have influenced their work.

Ed is joined by James Bond expert and television producer Phil Goldie for a special episode discussing 007 First Light. For more on First Light, read Bullet Points' issue right here: https://bulletpointsmonthly.com/issue/007-first-light

Yussef, Ed, and Reid return with some bad news about Bhutan, picks for our favourite games of the year so far and the corporations that should make new consoles, a bold new pitch for the next Hellblade, and horrible memories of an amusement park ride.

We wanted the episode picture to be this image of the Dancing Satyr Group but that would probably get us in trouble with podcast platforms. You can find it here if you like naked creatures (https://www.clevelandart.org/art/1992.352) and then you can look at that while we talk about: Ed's history as a movie soldier, buying advice for Reid's Steam wishlist and the current top sellers, Grand Theft Auto VI jokes, and so much more. Also, the country this time is Benin and I'm so tired of that list of countries.

It's a new episode and a brand new opportunity to talk about stuff like: a cartoon we remember, the country of Belize, what Ed was playing during 9/11, King Charles XCX, and some sweaty and stinky videogames.
