Into the Aether - A Low Key Video Game Podcast

Have you ever had those moments during crisp fall days in which it seems as though the wind is leading you somewhere? You're not quite sure if the pull is benevolent, but you follow it anyways as it twists and turns through paths you only barely remember. Eventually, the wisp has you come upon a clearing that vaguely resembles a baseball field where looking upwards towards the heavens reveals an unnatural sky, one of fire and cosmic greatness. It's the kind of thing that'll rip a mind into hundreds of pieces if you look for too long. It's the kind of thing that'll put those pieces back together however it damn well pleases. Have you ever had those moments? Discussed: Soda Dungeon 2, Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout, Blaseball---Find us everywhere: https://intothecast.onlineJoin the Discord: https://theworstgarbage.onlineFollow Stephen Hilger: https://twitter.com/StephenHilgerFollow Brendon Bigley: https://twitter.com/brendonbigley---Produced by AJ Fillari: https://twitter.com/ajfillariArt by Scout Wilkinson: https://scoutwilkinson.myportfolio.com/---Thanks to all of our amazing patrons!| sebsab | TK| Lilie| Matthew| Ian| MimaSweets | Ciaran| Chris| Pat| markh| Craig| Matt| Sebastian| Joeri| Maryanne| SkinTightAlloy | Naomi B| Dennis | Eliot| Shelly| William| Brendon| Robert| Keiko Hilger Cry!| Murray | Trevor| salutepeezy | Andrew| David| Pablo| Alex| Catherine| Josh| noname | Jason | Bede| Micah| Benjamin| Mark| Jeff| Brett| Inês| Kim| Kamrin| Minh| Andrew| Benjamin| Marxelle | Akira | Christopher| Melimuffinpie | bolt | Scout| Philip ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
