The video game releases will continue to morale improves, which probably means they're going to keep coming, honestly, but hey - video games!

This week's music: The Vampire Lestat - Long Face

We're back and we've got a lot to say about Resident Evil Requiem - why it's one of the best games of the year, and also why it's maybe just a little bit disappointing, even if that's not fair.

We're here for one last regular show before the end of the year, and we're talking about Dogpile, Avatar, Diablo IV's new Paladin, the Fallout TV show's second season, and lots, lots more. From our podcast family to yours, happy holidays, and see you next year! And for a music episode! This week's music: August Burns Red - Up on the House Top

We're back, and we've got a few games to talk about, including that Terminator 2 nerd-oriented Terminator 2D, Forestrike, our gaming relapses, and plenty more. This week's music: Poppy - Guardian

We're recovering from the holiday feasting with a quieter show in a quieter week, but we're here anyway talking about Planet Crafter, Sektori, the spiraling PC building situation, our nostalgic Thanksgiving week game time, and more. This week's music: Die Spitz - Throw Yourself to the Sword

We kick this episode off by celebrating the second most important birthday of the week, which belongs to the Xbox 360, a canon event for most of us. We also make time to chat about whether or not Dispatch is a video game and whether that matters, the new Frankenstein movie, how hard it is to adapt Richard Bachman stories into movies, how the AI industry is screwing us this week, and more. This week's music: Electric Callboy - Elevator Operator

We're back after another successful Extra Life and wouldn't you know it, we have a lot of games to talk about, including RV There Yet, Baby Steps, Power Wash Simulator 2, Black Ops 6, Metroid Prime 4, and more - but not before digging in to what the Steam Machine is, and who precisely it might be for. This week's music: Lola Young - Conceited

This week we've dragged Anthony out of his COVID hole so we can talk about a lot of games, including The Outer Worlds 2, Bloodlines 2, Arc Raiders, Ball X Pit, Ninja Gaiden 4, and a lot more.

We managed to squeeze in a show this week before Anthony fled the country, which gave us enough time to talk about the absolute lows of Battlefield 6's campaign, how annoying it is that the Xbox Ally X is as good as it is when it's so expensive, the promising magic of Double Fine's Keeper, the ethical challenges of modern video game coverage, and more! This week's music: Everclear - Santa Monica

This week miraculously we all played the same game, and we've got a lot to say about Battlefield 6, from the good (conquest!) to the bad (breakthrough!). But we've also got more games to talk about, including hands-on with Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, Sleep Awake, and more! This week's music: Purity Ring - imanocean

We tuck in for a longer one this week as we talk about Buggos 2, Strange Antiquities, Silent Hill F, Ghost of Yotei, the Xbox Ally handhelds and how tariffs are really screwing the handheld market, plus plenty more. This week's music: She Wants Revenge - These Things

This week we dig deeper (GET IT BOOM UNINTENTIONAL PUN) into Donkey Kong Bananza, ruminate on Destiny 2's new expansion and potential future, talk Last Report, read some emails, and more! This week's music: Nine Inch Nails - As Alive As You Need Me To Be

Well everything in the video games industry is totally fine and nothing weird is happening, so we're back to talk about stuff like Donkey Kong Bananza, Cyber Nights Flashpoint, Superman, and more. This week's music: Deftones - My Mind Is a Mountain

We're trying to keep it together for Tiny Chef as we chat about the Dead as Disco and Suit for Hire demos, what makes Peak so resonant with so many people, whether Death Stranding 2 can hold on to what made the first game special, and also chat about getting old. This week's music: Tiny Chef Playing His Banjo

We're back and we've got games AND movies to talk about, because it's summer and it's hot. In between chat about Peak, Town to City, Lies of P: Overture and Dune: Awakening, we also talk Predator: Killer of Killers and 28 Years Later, and we even read a couple of emails. This week's music: Banks - Best Friends

We're back after a week off with ... honestly too much stuff to talk about, including hands-on impressions with the upcoming Xbox Ally X, Pragmata, Dying Light the Beast, a lot more Summer Game Fest stuff, and the Switch 2 launch, plus Steam Next Fest demos like TerraTech Legion. This week's music: Queens of the Stone Age - I Never Came (Alive in the Catacombs)

It's the last show before the Switch 2 launches and we feel fine, because we're talking about literally anything else, including the Lenovo Legion Go S Steam Edition (and some weirdness with how games look on it), Elden Ring: Nightreign (and some weirdness with what people expected from it), along with other weirdness including Police Simulator and more. This week's music: Pixel Grip - Reason to Stay

It's a slower week, so we're all digging into backlogs and things we missed — things like Crime Scene Cleaner, Deadzone: Rogue, and Police Simulator. But we also find time to talk 9Kings, the new Nvidia 5060, and even read some emails. This week's music: Spiritbox - Perfect Soul

We're just a pair with a shorter show this week as we chat a bit more about Doom: The Dark Ages and the nature of PC system requirements (and the state of PC hardware and GPUs right now), plus Crashlands 2, Final Destination Bloodlines, then a bunch of your emails. This week's music: Finishing Move Inc. - Unchained Predator

This week we go deep into Doom: The Dark Ages, but we also chat about the best GPU under a thousand bucks, Cash Cleaner Simulator, V Rising, 4K disc players, and plenty more. This week's music: HEALTH and Chelsea Wolfe - Mean

Well this week sucked, really, and we dig into a bit as we discuss Polygon and the impending crisis barreling toward the enthusiast media, how bad the GTA6 delay could be for the game industry, and other fun stuff. But we also talk baout Clair Obscure, Skin Deep, Thunderbolts*, and a fair bit more. This week's music: Skid Row - I Remember You

We're back and talking about a lot, like the Oblivion remaster (it's not a remake!), Clair Obscure, Nubby's Number Factory and other games, and also The Accountant 2, Sinners, and some of your emails. This week's music: Miles Caton - I Lied To You (Radio Edit)

We're back and we're talking about several video games! We talk about some of our diverging draws in the Blue Prince, go long on South of Midnight (an early nominee for game music of the year), talk about the challenges in front of Marathon, and touch a little bit on everybody's favorite video game and tech topic: tariffs. This week's music: Allie X - Black Eye

Well we expected to talk about the Switch 2 and how interesting it was and what we like about it, but it's hard not to get sidetracked by how much of a debacle the tariff situation could kick off for Nintendo's new console and the video game market as a whole. But we still manage to talk about the system, why it feels better than any Switch before it, Donkey Kong Bananza, Tears of the Kingdom Enhanced, Metroid Prime 4, and more, plus South of Midnight too. This week's music: Coheed and Cambria - The Father of Make Believe

This week brought 2025's first big sleeper hit on Steam with Schedule 1, but that's not all, with The First Berseker and Atomfall also attempting to dislodge us from Assassin's Creed Shadows. This week's music: Killswitch Engage - I Believe (Alternate Edit)

We're back after a moving-induced break to talk about a few things, including GDC 2025, Assassin's Creed Shadows, board games, and more. This week's music: The Birthday Massacre - Sleep Tonight

We haven't played a lot because it's been one of those weeks, but we still manage to chat for a couple of hours about plenty of things, including Doom (2016), the joys of prestiging, the annoyances of PC building, your emails, and more. This week's music: Pvris - My House (feat. Courtney LaPlante)

It's a slower week of releases, but that's ok, because Monster Hunter Wilds has sold more than basically every other game combined so far this year probably, plus we chat about a few more games and read some of your emails. This week's music: Sleep Token - Chokehold

We're here and we've got a bizarre menagerie of stuff to talk about, including Abiotic Factor, Civilization VII, more Avowed, Doom 3 (yes, that Doom 3), and plenty more. This week's music: Cathedrals - Ooo aaa

We've returned with the most romantic games imaginable, including A Game About DIgging a Hole, Dawnfolk, Monster Hunter Wilds, Avowed, and more - and we read some emails, because we love you. Probably. This week's music: Lacuna Coil - Never Dawn
