19 JUL. 2020 · In this episode we proclaim our excitement for Ghost of Tsushima, and then spend some time talking about Ubisoft's "Forward" streaming event. We stick mostly to the two games they allowed influencers to play, Watch Dogs: Legion and AC: Valhalla and our impressions of the gameplay we've seen so far.

11 JUL. 2020 · This (week late) podcast was recorded before July 4th and then Dr. Biebs had to move and had no computer for several days. That said, this episode was great fun! We discuss some news and then dive right into a game adapted from the folks as EasyAllies.com called "Kill your Babies". Don't worry, it's not as dark as it sounds - 'babies' in this case are a list of what we consider some of the best and most influential games of all time and we each take turns 'killing' one, which, in this make-believe world we are creating, means that that game never existed! (Please ignore the logical inconsistencies, it's just a game.)

2 JUL. 2020 · Sorry about the delay! We recorded an episode but weren't happy with it and decided to postpone until we could put out something better. Fortunately that gave Dr. Biebs time to finish Last of Us 2! In this episode, we discuss that in depth, though there are minor spoilers involved. Before that we discuss the Cyberpunk 2077 reveal and our thoughts on some of the new stuff that looks pretty good!

20 JUN. 2020 · In this episode we spend some conversing about how life has changed since COVID-19, and how the fall will look going forward. But then it's on to more positive, if controversial things! The gaming industry has spawned more than one debate over the years, though none of them are terribly serious. We discuss three here: Should games like "Dark Souls" and "Sekiro" have a difficulty setting? Is Breath of the Wild really that great of a game (or is the hype and praise mostly fueled by big fans of the franchise), aka: would and outsider to the franchise think as highly of this game as those on the inside? And finally, what does it take to create a new "genre". The conversation is pretty good, if a little long, so come join us!

19 JUN. 2020 · We're back with an extra special episode! Actually this "special" podcast is just the audio from our Saturday stream. We're putting out the audio because it was a lengthy discussion of the PS5 reveal from Sony. We run down the list of games and even have a chat visitor on twitch that we have a short chat with.

15 JUN. 2020 · Many apologies for the long delay. Many things have been going on lately, between Taurin's moving into a new place, and the social issues that have been overwhelming, we have had difficulty focusing enough to get this episode up. We are going to try and be more consistent with this from here on, but the state of the world is in upheaval at the moment so we make no promises. That said, in this episode we gush about what we take to be the two best games from last year, and two of our most played and most beloved games: God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2.

16 MAY. 2020 · We're back! After a two year hiatus to deal with life adventures, in the midst of this covid-19 public health crisis, we are back to talk about video games! In this first reboot episode we shake some of the rust off with a rocky opening and an even worse closing, but we discuss some of our favorites from the downtime since we last posted, including Modern Warfare, Spider Man, Animal Crossing, Jedi: Fallen Order, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, and Magic Arena.

22 AGO. 2017 · In this episode Nate and Taurin talk about the Destiny 2 Beta and why Nate is no good at shooters. Then we fulfill a promise and put Taurin on the spot by making him defend his continued Xbox fandom after all these years (and Microsoft's current direction).

15 AGO. 2017 · In this episode we discuss Nathan finishing Persona 5, a first impression of Just Cause 2, and we share our lists of games that are as much (or more) fun to watch as they are to play - excluding esports games, of course.
