Rand(Nerds) Episode 290 - RV There yet, Layers of fear, VR
<p>Welcome to Episode 290<P>Only 6 minutes late this week, practically a record for us!<P>We get into gaming first by discussing RV there yet, a physic based puzzle game where you have to get your RV back from your camping trip by navigating across a large physics-based map full of rock slides and chaos, its like a crossover of Mudrunner and a Top Gear road trip. We talk about the clever damage system, the fun winching and physic mechanics, but agree it best played with friends <P>Onto a more disappointing game, Ram has been playing Layers of Fear. It was mean to be a psychological horror but delivers nothing but relentless cheap jump scares and a paper-thin gameplay loop, with you walking from room to room and puzzle so simple they don't deserve to be call that<P>Skazz has been getting back into VR and the new Meta Quest 3. He talk about the new features like the colour pass through with mild mixed reality, the excellent pancake lenses and how the wireless PC streaming works brilliantly<P>We also discuss defeating werewolves with chocolate, stolen game collections, the slimmer Gabe Newell and Gaussian splatting <P>Notes<P><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Steam/comments/1bymu2x/gabens_amazing_weight_loss/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Gabe Newell</a> is looking better then ever before<P>Gather your mate and road trip in an easily destroyed motorhome in <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/3949040/RV_There_Yet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">RV There yet?</a><P>Disappointing psychological horror game <a href="store.steampowered.com/app/391720" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Layers of Fear</a><P>Get back into VR with <a href="meta.com/quest/quest-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">meta's new headset</a><P>Corridors take on the new tech of <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8yRlA7jqEQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Gaussian Splats</a><P>We look forward to seeing you all on the next podcast on 7th May 2026, at 18:30 GMT+1 either on <a href="www.youtube.com/randnerds" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">YouTube </a>or <a href="twitch.tv/randnerds" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Twitch</a></p><p><br></p>

We talk about midnight launchers and discovering games yourself in the shops<P>Ram then talks about his early impressions of Atomic Heart (2023). Set in an alternate-timeline Soviet Union with what feels like some it has been very heavy influenced by Bioshock Infinite. Some fun gameplay but also some awful characters <P>Notes<P>The nanny state stopping people<a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/oxfordshire/4393524.stm" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer"> launchers themselves out of a trebuchet </a><P>Explore a world where robots have gone mad in an alternate USSR in <a href="https://www.focus-entmt.com/en/games/atomic-heart" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Atomic Heart</a><P>We look forward to seeing you all on the next podcast on 21st May 2026, at 18:30 GMT+1 either on <a href="www.youtube.com/randnerds" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">YouTube </a>or <a href="twitch.tv/randnerds" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Twitch</a></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
