This week we have on our buddy Jonathan and discuss his relationship with games, the secret titles he's playing, and our thoughts on the disturbing but addictive cat game Mewgenics.

This week we've teamed up with the other half of the Black Geek Energy podcast, D'Marcus. We discuss his origins with the podcast, his views on anime, and how we got into comics, among other things.

The villain week series marches on as we have another rabblerouser from the Player Player discord joining us for the second time in show history.

This episode brings a change of pace. In Player Player's first ever "villain week", we bring on host of the Black Geek Energy podcast, and one of the discord's biggest pot stirrers, Jardo. What follows is 60 minutes of pure chaos. *The Player Player podcast does not inherently endorse the views of our guests. Any opinions are theirs and theirs exclusively unless stated otherwise.

Jacob McCourt returns to the pod with a question: Is the game of the year discussion played out? (Yes, he and I do a Game of the Year Discussion every year still for Crossplay Conversations) ---- #FKM Discord https://playerplayerpod.com/discord Website http://playerplayerpod.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/playerplayerpod Intro Music Provided by Aaron Miller https://www.instagram.com/themillerchild Joseph https://twitter.com/th3hoopman Arsene https://twitter.com/paxarsenica

I've got good news and I've got bad news. The good news is that co-host and silly boy extraordinaire Arsene has welcomed a new baby boy into the world. The bad news is that an ill timed illness the day before the delivery meant that we couldn't record the game of the year like we usually do. As a result, I waited until he was settled with the new baby in tow, got his list, and did a single-man narration of our game of the year list. Enjoy. ---- #FKM Discord https://playerplayerpod.com/discord Website http://playerplayerpod.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/playerplayerpod Intro Music Provided by Aaron Miller https://www.instagram.com/themillerchild Joseph https://twitter.com/th3hoopman Arsene https://twitter.com/paxarsenica

Y'all got anymore of them roguelikes? This week I'm joined by my dear friend Omari and we dive deep on what games are truly addictive.

We also talk about New Style Hustle and the Kirby Air Riders Global Test Ride. This might be one of the longest episodes recorded in PP history but what else do you expect when you let the Big Kahuna run the show B^). ---- #FKM Discord https://playerplayerpod.com/discord Website http://playerplayerpod.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/playerplayerpod Intro Music Provided by Aaron Miller https://www.instagram.com/themillerchild Joseph https://twitter.com/th3hoopman Arsene https://twitter.com/paxarsenica Omari His instagram is a riddle you must solve

Arsene is absolutely out of control this Halloween

The boys go through what they've currently been playing, and then go back and forth on what they should try next. Kingdom Come Deliverance 2? What about Arc Raiders? Maybe even...Indiana Jones?

For this Halloween special, the boys break down the evolution of Jojo's art style, the Chainsaw Man movie, hot new Craps strategies, Arsene's secret costume, and more.

Arsene gives his latest update with Vampire Diaries and Joseph recounts the Casino trip he went on for his 31st birthday.
