Big Finish General Discussion

Audio
464

I usually want to play story games, and I can’t multitask with audios and game subtitles like that so I get overwhelmed.

However, if I’ve finished a game and doing a repeat playthrough (Dead Space) or doing collectibles (Returnal), it’s easier to mindlessly play it whilst also being lost in the audio.

And then there are multiplayer games, and back in June I would play For Honor whilst listening to audios too.

…so I’ll consider Power wash simulator :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:, but I do also love platinum trophies, I’ve heard it’s a bit of a grind.

For a bit last year I also played Fallout 76 whilst listening, helping new players, just trying to occupy myself generally.

There were a few Times when I’d listen to an Audio while playing something. But I usually do something else when listening to an Audio Drama (like reading or cleaning up Data etc.)

If you need a good Game for you to play while listening to Big Finish, I recommend Pac-man 256, which is my go-to Game whenever I feel like playing a Game AND listening to an Audio Drama, it’s fun and pretty cheap on Steam!

Just when I think I’m relatively caught up, I realise I’ve not done this range or this range, and ooh this new series looks good! :sob: The eternal struggle of flip-flopping between ranges.

Apparently Hooklight 1 is coming out this week. They posted saying so, but didn’t give a date.

Weird thing is, while I know I had Hooklight in wishlist for a long time and I’m really looking forward to it, I can’t remember why… Guess I’ll have to find out later this week

Maybe because it’s another super-long epic written by Tim Foley.

Tin Foley! Makes sense! He rarely diappoints, eh?

I’ve not delved much into the CC’s or Short Trips, are the new ones still narrated? I see they’ve got Noonan in!

I won’t be rushing to get any of these, as I have a big backlog to work through.

But out of all of them, Planet Krynoid definitely piques my interest.

Honestly I think this year is such a strong year for releases, same as 2024. I’m glad Dark Gallifrey’s back. I’m still unsure on whether or not the format of 6 a year was a good idea or not, given its lasting SO long.

I love the look of Hooklight (Tim Foley!) and Planet Krynoid (Reece Shearsmith!) and given that it was only £4 I snapped up the original story too.

Honestly May onwards looks really exciting from BF! Really looking forward to the 5th, 6th and 7th Doctor stories!

For me, if I get anything soon, it’ll be the first Nine/Rose and maybe something else from the back catalog.
