Just listen to the music of the traffic
This week the Electronic Wireless Showpodcastis going the place you can always go when you’re alone and life is making you lonely. That’s right: down town! We’re talking about our favourite cities in games, although we spend a lot of time talking about city builders even though we decide they probably don’t meet the brief.
Surprisingly, though, we talk about gamesso muchthis week that we run out of time to do a Cavern Of Lies! Even though I had actually prepared one! Unprecedented scenes. Don’t worry, though, because there are plenty of diversions this week too, including Nate’s unwise excursion into green milk, and Matthew eating something he shouldn’t ought to have ate.

LinksKicking off the show, we discuss the different approach thatThe Sinking Citytook with quest markers, which ended up being a bit annoying.
We compare the relative merits of different city building games likeFoundation,Humankindand (kind of)Frostpunk.
I liked making a fancy fashion cowboy in Saint Denis inRed Dead Redemption 2. Arthur getting airs in his fancy blue jacket and nice top hat. He doesn’t know himself.
Matthew is conflicted about Night City inCyberpunk 2077.
Obviously we mention Dunwall fromDishonoredbecause if we do not mention the Dishonored series at least once every five episodes the explosives that have been surgically implanted in our necks will detonate.
World Of Warcrafthas two very good cities (and in the discussion of this, we also discuss which WOW faction would be the spiritual home of Matthew Castle
How willBaldur’s Gate 3handle the titular gate city?
Recommendationsthis week are the alt-history space race TV showFor All Mankind, Netflix’s silly-but-not-quite-sure-it’s-on-purpose horror showMidnight Mass, and Nate’s very own new bookThe Twice Dead King.
