Episodes
Before Your Eyes ~ GGC #67
August 10, 2021 08:49 - 31 minutes - 23.2 MBWithout spoiling too much, this one made Nick cry. And he knew he was crying, because Before Your Eyes uses your own webcam to make blinking the primary gameplay input. Pretty rad eh? Let's see what @leafeator and @adventnick think about that one. patreon.com/cybergarbage
Adios ~ GGC #66
August 10, 2021 08:45 - 29 minutes - 22.3 MBAnd here you were thinking we took the podcast out behind the farm to put it out of it's misery. Nope. You're still here, we are too. So let's talk about games. Like Adios! @leafeator // @adventnick
We Were Here ~ GGC #65
May 17, 2021 07:29 - 27 minutes - 18.5 MBMORE. CO. OPER. ATION. Woooooo. The first in a four part co-op series, We Were Here has some modest game jam binging's. But are the ideas of this asynchronous co-op even close to living up to the hype of something as epic as It Takes Two (or other co-op juggernauts?) @leafeator // @adventnick
It Takes Two ~ GGC #64
May 17, 2021 07:23 - 32 minutes - 24.7 MBCo-op games are one of Joey's favorite sub genera, and there is nothing better than playing a tailor made two person experience with one of your best friends. Will the boys come out of this with a stronger relationship and marriage. @leafeator // @adventnick
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past ~ GGC #63
April 29, 2021 21:30 - 36 minutes - 27.8 MBSNES is coming back around as one of (if not the) most heralded Zelda game gets re-visted by Nick and finally finished by Joey. Do they like 2D over 3D Zelda? Is this the best 2D zelda? How is playing on an SNES in 2021? @leafeator // @adventnick
Yoku's Island Express ~ GGC #62
April 29, 2021 21:27 - 34 minutes - 25.9 MBMetroid, Pinball, Bugs. All things that Joey likes, mostly things that Nick likes. Does Yoku stand as one of the best metroidvania games that you don't have on your radar? Let's roll the dung around and find out for ya. @leafeator // @adventnick
Carto ~ GGC #61
April 29, 2021 21:20 - 29 minutes - 21.6 MBWatch out, if you're not careful we will shift this podcast and move it right out from under you. Just like how we solve our puzzles in Carto, let's us shift and rotate your perspective on this switch hit. @leafeator // @adventnick
Ghostrunner ~ GGC #60
April 29, 2021 21:18 - 28 minutes - 21.6 MBCyberpunk. Swords. Speedrunning. I like these things, but when we package them all up into an indie Ghostrunner - do they fit together and make my brain sparkle a la Mirror's Edge? @leafeator // @adventnick
Red Dead Redemption 2 ~ GGC #59
April 29, 2021 21:11 - 39 minutes - 31.7 MBFun fact: Joey hates horses (and movies) so Nick is tackling this old west one a little solo, because he simply could not - not talk to you about it. @leafeator // @adventnick
Super Mario 3D World ~ GGC #58
March 10, 2021 05:35 - 28 minutes - 22.4 MBSuper Mario 3D world came out in 2013 on the Wii U, and most people... did not play it. Which I think is a crime because it may be one of the best Mario games, ever. Ever ever. Also, now you can officially throw out your Wii U because every good first party Nintendo title from that console is now on switch! @leafeator // @adventnick
Bowser's Fury ~ GGC #57
March 10, 2021 05:28 - 22 minutes - 16.8 MBBowser's Fury, the free addon to the new Super 3D Mario World Switch release is something new and nifty from Nintendo. Free content? New design? A surprise? Is this the path forward for the big N? @leafeator // @adventnick
Hitman 3 ~ GGC #56
March 10, 2021 05:22 - 44 minutes - 32.6 MBWe're back to round out the Hitman revitalization trio with Hitman 3. Love me some IOI and we'll see if the new maps are the best maps, and if the switch to the Epic Game Store was worth it! @leafeator // @adventnick
Chrono Trigger ~ GGC #55
March 10, 2021 05:16 - 48 minutes - 37.1 MBNick's favorite game of All Time. ALL TIME. Joey has finally sat down to play and to see if it makes it on his own personal "best of." Trio attack time. @leafeator // @adventnick
Cyberpunk 2077 ~ GGC #54
January 11, 2021 08:00 - 1 hour - 49.2 MBIT'S HERE! After (minor) delay -- CD Project Red released Cyberpunk 2077 to massive amounts of fan fare, and potentially equally amounts of backlash. Both Nick and Joey rolled credits on the game, but what side of the enjoyment spectrum did they jack into? @leafeator // @adventnick
Minit ~ GGC #53
January 07, 2021 18:06 - 25 minutes - 18.8 MBYa only got one minit to save the world. Joey and Nick explore the world of Minit, where every minute, well, you die. A short zelda - esque adventure with a fun twist! @leafeator // @adventnick
Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time ~ GGC #52
January 07, 2021 18:04 - 30 minutes - 23.6 MBIt's about time! It's been a min since we've had a new Crash game, but was waiting for this Sony monolith to be reborn, worth? @leafeator // @adventnick
Astro's Playroom ~ GGC #51
December 02, 2020 09:57 - 34 minutes - 26.7 MBThe PS5 is HERE and next gen is coming hot and heavy. Astro's Playroom is free and loaded onto your PS5 so you have something to experiment with while downloading Demon Souls. It shows off Play Station memory lane, while managing to be a cute platformer, and introduce people to the DualSense. But like, is it fun? @leafeator // @adventnick
Dicey Dungeon ~ GGC #50
December 02, 2020 09:55 - 26 minutes - 20 MBFor our 50th anniversary we bring you...a mobile game? Dicey Dungeon is a rogue-like/light/whatever that started it's life as an App. Instead of complications coming from the die or the cards, it comes in the form of unique character mechanics and increasing difficulty. @leafeator // @adventnick
Monster Train ~ GGC #49
December 02, 2020 09:52 - 32 minutes - 23.2 MBWe're going to Hell! Rogue like card game Hell! Does monster train do the same things to Joey's brain that Slay the Spire does? @leafeator // @adventnick
Bug Fables ~ GGC #48
December 02, 2020 09:50 - 40 minutes - 31.1 MBIt's Paper Mario, but instead of Mario it's BUGS. And instead of Nintendo, it's Kickstarter? Bug fables is a spiritual successor to the old (read: good) Paper Mario games. But is it worth your time as a diehard TTYD fan? @leafeator @adventnick
Hades ~ GGC #47
November 10, 2020 10:42 - 57 minutes - 42.4 MBSupergiant is back and Hades is out of early-access. Nick's first ever IGN review makes it's way to Garbage Game Club. Spoiler, he gave it a 9/10. But here we get to dive into what the boys adore about Hades, in a bit longer than an IGN video. @leafeator // @adventnick
Super Mario Odyssey ~ GGC #46
November 10, 2020 10:40 - 36 minutes - 27.1 MBMARIO MANIA, LAST CALL! Originally a Super Mario 3D collection playthrough, we had to continue on and play the fourth console main-line Mario with Odyssey. Had to. A game that Joey has claimed to be "like, one of my favorite ever." Which of the four Mario games takes the throne? @leafeator // @adventnick
Super Mario Galaxy ~ GGC #45
November 10, 2020 10:37 - 36 minutes - 26.4 MBMARIO MANIA, Part 3. From Gamecube, to Wii, the boys wiggle and waggle their joycons to collect all the starbits and explore the Galaxy with Mario. Often laureled as one of the best platformers ever made, how does Galaxy hold up to a re-play? @leafeator // @adventnick
Super Mario Sunshine ~ GGC #44
November 10, 2020 10:36 - 36 minutes - 33 MBMARIO MANIA continues, as we shift from the N64 to the Gamecube to strap on Flood and play on the island that is Super Mario Sunshine. Joey, before this collection re-play, would have claimed Sunshine as his favorite, while Nick is skeptical. Will the fond childhood memories stay true? @leafeator // @adventnick
Super Mario 64 ~ GGC #43
November 10, 2020 10:34 - 40 minutes - 36.9 MB1996. Joey is 3. Nick is 4 (he's old) and neither of them were properly playing Super Mario 64. Now 24 years removed the boys find themselves playing for the third/fourth time as a part of MARIO MANI via the Super Mario 3D collection on Switch. @leafeator // @adventnick
To The Moon ~ GGG #42
November 05, 2020 08:39 - 38.6 MBScrub in with Nick and Joey as they role play doctors traveling back in time and inceptioning themselves into memories of an old man. To The Moon is an RPG Maker game that the stream charts (and well, a lot of people) loved! Now that they finally got around to it, I wonder how the boys feel? @leafeator // @adventnick

Cave Story ~ GGG #41
October 30, 2020 00:59 - 34.3 MBThe first true indie game that made the internet light up. One can say that Cave Story is a monolith of it's time, and started a revolution. Nick has known that for years, playing many iterations of the game, while Joey...well...this one is for him. @leafeator @adventnick

Darkest Dungeon ~ GGG #40
October 30, 2020 00:56 - 39.8 MBIn time, you will know the tragic extent of my failings... Nick and Joey pack up their gear and head into the dungeon. The darkest dungeon. Will they come out the other side in one piece, or will a party member fall? @leafeator @adventnick

Paper Mario: The Origami King ~ GGC #39
October 30, 2020 00:52 - 42 minutes - 39.4 MBPaper Mario The Origami King is here, but is this more like Thousand Year Door, or Sticker Star. Please, please, please be the former. Please nintendo @Leafeator @adeventnick

Ghost of Tsushima ~ GGG #38
October 30, 2020 00:49 - 40.8 MBJoey really liked Infamous, so Sucker Punch might have him by the sword here with Ghosts. This third person, open world, shogun combat, RPG, adventure seems like it may just be "an average 2020 AAA game" but...is it? @leafeator @adventnick

The Last of Us Part 2 ~ GGG #37
October 30, 2020 00:47 - 55 MBNaughty Dog, Joel, and Ellie are back. Will Joey and Nick take to Joel and Ellie once again, or is TLOU:2 not up to snuff in 2020? @leafeator @adventnick

Event[0] ~ GGC #35
July 07, 2020 04:09 - 36 minutes - 33.6 MBEvent Zero is a first person science fiction exploration game from 2016. I had to look at the steam page for help writing that. But you should take a look into this unique adventure if you like it even a fraction as much as the boys do! Follow us! @leafeator // @adventnick patreon.com/cybergarbage

July 07, 2020 04:04 - 37.4 MBJoey loves banjo. Joey loves rare. Joey kickstarted Yooka and played it on release. Nick finally hopped in, and does he have the same character platformer joy that Joey does?
