Summary

The makings of a Joeylike are pretty simple, all things considered: The player character needs to ask "how you doin'?" as often as possible. This generally makes Joeylikes easy to spot from a mile away, but it also means they come off as derivative. Attempts to change the Joeylike catchphrase are often disasterous. Discussed: Code Vein II, Nioh 3's demo, Elden Ring: Nightreign, soulslikes, Joey from Friends, Fire Emblem Awakening, CAIRN Check out Pixels and Polygons! - https://pixelsandpolygons.net/ Find us everywhere: https://intothecast.online Buy some merch, if you'd like: https://shop.intothecast.online Join the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/intothecast --- Follow Stephen Hilger: https://bsky.app/profile/stephenhilger.bsky.social Follow Brendon Bigley: https://bsky.app/profile/bb.wavelengths.online Produced by AJ Fillari: https://bsky.app/profile/ajfillari.bsky.social --- Season 8 cover art by Scout Wilkinson: https://scoutwilkinson.myportfolio.com/ Theme song by Will LaPorte: https://ghostdown.online/ --- Timecodes: (00:00) - Intro (01:01) - Code Vein II | A soulsmuse-bouche (29:35) - Nioh 3 Demo | A soulsmuse-bouche (34:14) - Elden Ring: Nightreign | A soulsmuse-bouche (51:01) - Break (51:59) - Fire Emblem Awakening | The Console Wars are real (01:08:49) - Pick a game and play!
