Save Room Reviews: Resident Evil Requiem

E

Capcom has finally had their peanut butter/chocolate moment and mixed white-knuckle survival horror with no-holds barred action horror. The latest entry in their long running horror franchise sees the return of Leon "Dad Jokes" Kennedy alongside Grace, a new protagonist, who holds a sought after secret (while struggling to hold it together). Requiem is a celebration of the franchise's 30 year history, but does it nail its split genre balancing act? Enter the world of survival horror podcasting to find out.

Game of the Year 2025 - Part 2: GOTY Gommage

E

The ritual is complete. The definitive video games of 2025 have been named. This painted world comes to an end. (Also, a certain three letter organization requires a judicial warrant -- signed by a federal judge or magistrate -- to enter your home. If they present an administrative warrant, don't let them in. Just some fun gamer tips to keep you playin' smart!)

Game of the Year 2025 - Part 1: GOTY Obscur

E

The time has come to put 2025 to bed, gamers. It's a year that saw us go on doomed expeditions, brave the dark ages, hunt monsters, and look at super-dicks (I mean, we did; no idea how your year went). In this first part to our overlong, and over-great, Game of the Year podcast, we rail our bottom five picks for 2025.

Episode 144: The Game Awards 2025 - GeoffGuard

E

Another year, another The Game Awards (TM). Geoff's seven hour showcase had everything you could expect: live performances, people dangling precariously from wires, sexual innuendos between a man and a muppet, and million dollar world premieres. Join us as we discuss the HighGuards and LowGuards of 2025's presenta-- HOLY SHIT IS THAT LEON???

Episode 143: Geoff Keighley's Nom Noms

E

Canada's Game Daddy (Geoff Keighley) has unleashed the nominees for 2025's The Game Awards. There are many contenders to the GOTY throne, but who will be interrupted by a Fortnite commercial first? Also: we discuss Halo ending the console wars, Resident Evil leaks, Call of Duty's botched Ops, the auditory pain of Borderlands 4, the mountain of Yotei (also the game), and the correct way to Dispatch superheroes.

Save Room Reviews: Silent Hill f

E

Silent Hill packs up its fog and travels to 1960's Japan where we're treated to both personal demons and literal ones. They say high school is hell, but Hinako learns it's a lot more hellish if you don't practice those perfect dodges. We take a look at the latest and most unique foray into the long running survival horror franchise: Silent Hill f! Plus: Daniel doesn't care if you've beaten Witch Tit's Peak blindfolded -- Silksong is still a hard game! 57:19:00 - Silent Hill f review

Episode 142: SAVE ROOMMATES NO MORE

E

The Save Roommates are no longer roommates... They're neighbors! On this episode, we talk about moving away (and how we moved basically 500 ft from each other). Also, it's one of those windy, kitchen sink episodes, so you can expect: movie talk, Gamescom, Resident Evil 9, going to see Nine Inch Nails, our plan to shrink ourselves inside a PC tower, and sock talk. So, you know, a normal episode.

Episode 141: Nightreigners & Death Stranders

E

Should we have connected? Well, if you want to beat the Nightlord, then hell yeah! On a completely overstuffed return to the world of video game podcasting, we discuss the 100-plus hours we spent in Elden Ring: Nightreign in addition to the 100-plus roads we built in Death Stranding 2. Also: Xbox is back to doing what they do best -- being the worst; and Resident Evil Requiem was announced and fans are wondering if Leon/Chris/Jill/Rebecca/Ada/Carlos/Billy/Wesker's corpse will return.

E

Take your shoes off and embark on a very French journey with us as we review this year's breakout J'RPG hit: Expedition 33! It's got everything you could want from a game: a breathtaking world, a heartfelt original story, and a brutal parry system that will snap your fingers if you don't snap your controller first. Listen for those who come after, mon ami.

Save Room Reviews: Monster Hunter Wilds

E

The world of Monster Hunter is now open -- literally! While Capcom has expanded the hunting field, they've also streamlined the time-tested formula making for a leaner -- but not meaner -- beast. In our review, we discuss what works, what doesn't, and what's different in this these newfound wilds. Is it too easy? Is it fun? Can you throw Nata into the sun? The Guild authorizes you to listen to this podcast. Also: our Assassin's Creed Shadows impressions, a game that's silent but only somewhat deadly.

Episode 140: The Nintendo Switch Sitch 2

Millennia Macabre: THE RING (2002)

E

Hollywood decided to break the curse by making a copy, and that's just what they did when they remade Ringu in 2002 for western audiences. But does this adaptation add more to the title than "The"? Actually, yes! In a Millennia Macabre first, we watched something good for a change. Unfortunately, we only have 7 days to relish it.

Episode 139: Backlog Season(al Depression)

E

The Save Room is back and so is our log (uh, our backlog, that is). Can we get through games like Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and Nine Sols while no-lifing Marvel Rivals? Never challenge a gamer. It always ends in tears. For all parties. ALSO: another Bloodborne-less State of Play and is Avowed the next Skyrim kille-- my lawyers are telling me I cannot legally compare the two games. They have fined me the price of one copy of Skyrim.

Millennia Macabre: VALENTINE (2001)

E

Love is in the air... and so is poorly motivated murder! Millennia Macabre is back with a 2001 Valentine's Day slasher that not only features a masked cherub killer, but an angel -- Mr. David Boreanaz! Will his brooding good looks save this love sick whodunit from obscurity? The answer may not surprise you.
