Threepcast Episode 8: All Cutscenes and No Play Makes Don a Dull Boy
Halloween is nearly upon us! To celebrate this most spooky time of year, Elliott, Anton, and Alex review Sierra’s most infamous horror FMV adventure game – Phantasmagoria. We also discuss the new Day of the Tentacle Remastered screenshots, recount a pilgrimage to Double Fine headquarters, and enjoy some adjectives with Alex. Next month’s game will be the Nintendo DS title Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors.
After encountering a meteor crash and visitors from the future, a boy named Ness is tasked with finding eight locations of power to stop an impending alien invasion. And so, Ness sets out to find the first location: a local urban legend known only as Giant Step.

August 2009 was the most intense month of shooting for Six Shots, as everyone wanted to finish principal photography before the end of summer vacation. This 20-minute raw footage extravaganza features story-time with Brenen, Matthew destroying Robert's laptop, goofy fun times in Andrew Rathgeber's pool, and lots of Breana growling. Ultimately, filming was halted by mid-September, and the film was cancelled shortly afterwards.
This was originally edited for a 2011 DVD of Six Shots shown at a private screening, but never released.

In the interests of pyromania, Brenen attempts to burn a (fake) $100 bill, only to be frustrated into tearing it up and resorting to a return to mortal kombat with Robert. Maybe.
