Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen Hey Folks! Apologies for taking a few weeks off but Covid kicked Belghast’s butt and he is the person who records, edits, and posts the show. This week we had a mountain of topics to get through and got nowhere close to hitting them all. Last Epoch has their very poorly named…

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, and Thalen Hey Folks! We are down a handful of folks but continue pushing forward. We start off with talking about a world where Arcades did not die out… aka Japan and what the 2020 Covid crisis did to them.

Featuring: Ammosart, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen Hey Folks! We actually finally get around to having the Age of Sigmar discussion, and more specifically talk at length about Warhammer Fantasy and the new Spearhead game mode which feels a bit like a Magic the Gathering Format.

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, and Thalen Hey Folks! For years we have had this tradition of recording a full spoiler show once all of the folks who are actively playing Final Fantasy XIV have completed the content. We knew this would be an epic undertaking given that we never got around to recording a post-Endwalker show. This is ab…

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, and Thalen Good Morning Folks! I am going to give you fair warning… this is a very Path of Exile episode.

Featuring: Ammosart, Belghast, Grace, Tamrielo, and Thalen Hey Folks! Last night we recorded a show in which we attempted to thread the most delicate needle.

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen Hey Folks! Bel crash lands the introduction by completely managing to skip over Thalen.

Featuring: Ammosart, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen Hey Folks! Apologies for another missed show last week but Bel very narrowly missed some Twisty Weather.

Bel talks a bit abo…

Featuring: Belghast, Kodra, and Tamrielo Hey Folks! We have a bit of a “Smol” show at least when it comes to cast. Last week we had to take that off because Bel was in “duck and cover” mode do to the storm system tearing through the center of the country and producing over one hundred Tornados. This week we had a bunch of folks with other commitmen…

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen We had a bit of a cursed show… Tam lost power and was essentially knocked out of the rest of the show and then Ash disconnects as well and takes a bit to get back in. We push through however as we always do. Bel talks about returning to Fallout 76 and all of the cool changes that have …

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen Hey Folks!

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Tamrielo, and Thalen Hey Folks! We are back after taking a break last week due to the limited number of folks available.

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen Hey Folks! It has been a few weeks since we recorded a normal show and I think we had a bunch of conversation in us waiting to get out.

We're counting the lights of the Dallas Sportatorium, taking you back to the 1980's and the triumphant rise and tragic fall of Dallas' "Royal Family", the Von Erichs!Από τον The Obtuse Angles Podcast

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen Hey Folks! It is that time again, time for our yearly Games of the Year show. Last year we learned that it was far better to record two weeks in a row instead of creating a marathon three-plus hour long show and cutting it in half. This week we dive into the second half of th…

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen Hey Folks! It is that time again, time for our yearly Games of the Year show.

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, and Tamrielo Hey Folks! This is potentially our last show of the year because the next few weeks and the holidays within them… are going to make it very hard to gather a quorum. This week we are going to be brutally honest and tell you that if you have no interest in Path of Exile, then this might be a show for y…

We ain't dead yet! Kyle may have been murdered by a ghost, but we're far from done! This week, we're airing an episode that was recorded shortly before Kyle was murdered, and it's a doozy!

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen Hey Folks! We are back with everyone and it is weird how long it has been since we have done a full seven-person show!

Featuring: Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen Hey Folks! We are down basically the front half of the alphabet for this show, but the remaining four of us end up recording a deceptively long episode.

It's all led to this! The Obtuse Angles Podcast will never be the same as we wrap up Macabre Month (and possibly much more) with the 1971 Bava classic "A Bay of Blood"!Από τον The Obtuse Angles Podcast

Hey Folks! This week we start off with a topic about in game events, and how wildly different they can be between various games.

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen Hey Folks! We start off the show with a bit of a reprisal from last week. Namely, Grace and Bel thought that all of the announcements at BlizzCon were universally good, but it seems that at least for some WoW Pundits they were a bit disappointed. Ash talks about the remake of Risk of R…

Featuring: Ammosart, Belghast, Grace, and Thalen Hey Folks! We are down essentially our entire Seattle contingency for assorted reasons that I don’t believe are actually connected.
