  • The Midpoint Save - Slayers X
    Sep 25 2026

    Have you ever had one of those days when you don't wanna wake up? Everything sucks? You don't really know why, but you want to justify playing Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengance of the Slayer.

    In this month game from The Game Club, we talk to Jay Thorlen, lead designer of both Hypnospace Outlaw and Slayers X about the difficulties of developing a game that’s being developed by a character from his previous game. Just so things don't get too heady, we learn where you go if you need a hundred farts (the internet, of course) and find out what he's working on next.

    If you are looking to be more than a fart on the internet, join The Game Club where every month were we play games and make new friends. Head over to The Game Club site to find out how to join.

  • The Midpoint Podcast - Valley Peaks
    Aug 19 2026

    Looking for something cozy, maybe a little challenging, looking for a collect-a-thon, or maybe you want something that pulls at the heartstrings?

    Lucky for you, this month's Game Club title covers everything and much more. Valley Peaks sets you out on a climbing adventure that will have you scaling to new heights as you complete your father's last job. There are stamps to collect, machines to repair, and mushrooms to find but in the end, it's the beautiful vistas that will have you hopping back.

    We talk to the devs behind the game about how to make cozy challenging, who did they model their departed dad after, and how many frogs can you talk to in this game.

    And as always, head over to The Game Club to become a member, meet new gamers like you in your area, and receive a new game every month. Don't wait to find out what everyone will be talking about next month.

  • The Midpoint Save - Welcome to Elk
    Jul 28 2026

    Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name – because there’s only two dozen people on the island.

    Welcome to Elk is a biographical adventure game mixing real world stories with mini-games and an island connecting all of them together. It’s a game that dives into how stories define us and what we will leave behind after we’re gone. Also, there are fun mini-games.

    I talk to Murray Sommerwolff – Art Director, Co-Writer, and one of the designers behind Welcome to Elk – about bringing all of the stories together, dealing with death in a biographical game, and who are you going to call if your fictional pinball machine breaks down. (And yes, you can still call them until they patch that out.)

    If you want to be a part of the discussion or find a community of your own, head over to The Game Club to sign up for a new game happening every month.
