January 24, 2024 04:30 - 1 hour - 65.5 MB

While Angie’s been living out her fantasies in Hogwars Legacy, Chris put plastic on his windows...he also played some video games. Sayonara Wild Hearts, Donut County, he battled old age in Fortnite Festival, Alan Wake 2, Monster Hunter World, PuzzMo, Cocoon.  I think he’s making up for some lost time.  They also talk about the Game Shark which no one has done in 30 years and more lay-offs (sad face).

Episode 180 - Too many "Star" games

October 18, 2023 11:00 - 1 hour - 66.9 MB

James and Jon finally catch up on a lot of games!  Jon’s been playing so many he lost his train of thought.  The things he could remember are Starfied (it’s bad), Sea of Stars and Separate Ways (the RE4 Remake DLC).  He’s also been rocking the Asus ROG Ally.  James has been playing some of the same games with the addition of Baldur’s Gate 3.  He’s also using Tabletop Simulator to take part in an online Root tournament.  Pretty cool, right!?  Also, thanks to Charlie_Raven on pixabay.com for t...

Episode 177 - In Hot Pursuit of Pikmin 4

August 15, 2023 00:07 - 1 hour - 69.7 MB

Is Pikmin 4 the ultimate Pikmin game? James played it and talks about it here but I'm can't honestly remember the answer. In addition to TOTK, Angie's been playing a bit of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered. She's been playing as the cops though so this may have been her last show. Jon "finished" TOTK and has been playing a lot of stuff without feeling to strongly about any of it: Wavetale, Everybody's Golf, Atomic Heart. Poor guy. Maybe he should get off his ass and do something wi...

April 15, 2023 19:26 - 55 minutes - 62.6 MB

March 03, 2023 12:00 - 53 minutes - 50.8 MB

Jon couldn’t help himself and HAD TO play Hogwart’s Legacy…it’s awesome!  Also, he finally got a physical copy of Metroid Prime Remastered but hasn’t started it yet.  James played a bit of a game that’s a mix between StarFox and Vampire Survivor called Whisker Squadron: Survivor.  He’s also almost done with his second time through Hi-Fi Rush.  He’s a man that gets shit done.  We also go on several tangents!  Join us!

Episode 161 - Labo, LOTR and ROOT

February 24, 2023 12:48 - 1 hour - 63.7 MB

The moment has finally come!  We’ve all been dying with anticipation to hear Angie’s take on the LOTR movie trilogy and that day is finally here.  James talks about a board game called ROOT…more like a “bored” game, am I right?  I jest. It actually sounds pretty cool.  Jon’s been building Nintendo Labo five years later because his son’s finally old enough to enjoy it.  Hear what we have to say!

Episode 160 - ASMR? No! Wait...AM2R

We talk about a lot of things: Viewtiful Joe, FF tactics Advance, Astro Boy, Hi-Fi Rush, The Ascent but, most importantly, James has played and finished Metroid Prime Remastered.  We also get confused between the acronym for a Metroid 2 Remake and the tingling sensation you pervs get to some sounds.  Have fun!

Episode 159 - James...Interrupted

February 10, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 82.5 MB

Damn technical difficulties!  I blame Jon for using a USB-A to USB-C cable.  Get up to speed, jackass!  Anyway, Chris finished Tunic and has opinions that might be contrary to the popular one.  James finished Hi-Fi Rush and enjoyed it despite a troubling technical hiccup.  Jon platinumed Biomutant and moved on to High on Life. We also make fools of ourselves by predicting Nintendo Direct announcements.  Lastly, we touch on the drama surrounding Hogwarts Legacy and the difficulties of separa...

Episode 158 - The One where Angie Watches LOTR

February 03, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 59 MB

We’ve agreed that there are too many games.  Jon is still chugging away on Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga and Biomutant.  Chris is playing Tunic, Pentiment, Norco and the new gem, Hi-Fi Rush.  Angie is the only smart one who limits herself to one game at a time by playing Pentiment. We also cover the lack of interest in the moribund E3 convention.  Lastly, can Halo recover from the trouble at 343 or the lack of interest in the franchise?  JOIN US!!! If you want to be a part of the conversati...

Episode 157 - The Chicago-style Hot Dog of Video Games

January 27, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 67.9 MB

James and Jon on this one.  James is still exhibiting his detective skills in Disco Elysium as well as playing Mother.  Turns out Mother isn’t about mothers at all but rather a humorous game in which a boy named Ninten battles aliens and brainwashed individuals!  Who knew?!  Jon, on the other hand, loves mediocrity and is thus playing and thoroughly enjoying Biomutant! We also recount the news from the Xbox Developer Direct and discuss the downfall of Rick and Mortie creator, Justin Roiland...

Episode 156 - The Creepy Blue Admiral

January 20, 2023 13:34 - 1 hour - 59 MB

Chris and James start by talking about one of the coolest anti-heroes in Sci-Fi, Thrawn!  Then they talk about video games because that’s what the show’s generally about.  James is playing Disco Elysium (I personally couldn’t believe he hadn’t played this already.  It seems like a very “James” kinda game), Mother (I can’t, I can’t play a game called Mother…it’s creepy), and Iron Lung (Spoilers: It is not about the hyperbaric chamber Michael Jackson used).  Chris is still loving Game Pass bec...

Episode 155 - You have to PRONOUNCE the underscore!

January 13, 2023 12:00 - 1 hour - 69.8 MB

There’s no direction in this podcast, I tell ya!  James and Jon just talk about whatever they want. Jon’s kid won’t stop making noise!!!  Jon insults a loyal listener.  Who keeps letting him on this show!!???  It’s…it’s a good time!  Once we do get on track we talk about God of War: Ragnarok (weird, I know).  James has also been playing a couple indie darlings: UnMetal and Frogun.  Jon is still in love with his Analogue Pocket having finished Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap and starting on Mario...

Episode 153 - Hindsight is 20/20

December 10, 2022 01:42 - 1 hour - 73.5 MB

James and Jon are both in love with God of War: Ragnarok.  It’s great!  James is also solving a mystery and trying not to contract the Plague in Pentiment.  Jon is still adoring his Analogue Pocket and definitely not using it in any illegal way at all, whatsoever.  Also, since we’re recording the night before the Game Awards, we discuss a select number of Game Awards nominees because we like to sound like idiots in hindsight! If you want to be a part of the conversation or if you have a pre...

Episode 152 - Turkey, mashed potatoes and Pokemon

November 24, 2022 21:21 - 1 hour - 63.4 MB

James goes in depth on the new Pokemon game(s), Scarlet and Violet?  Despite mediocre reviews he seems to enjoy it quite a bit.  James and Jon are both playing God of War: Ragnarok and loving it.  Jon also picked up an Analogue Pocket and it might be the best purchase he’s ever made.  Also, is the FTC finally going to cockblock Microsoft?!

November 12, 2022 14:15 - 42 minutes - 37.7 MB

Angie and Chris run through the Nintendo Indie Showcase, take a look at live action Gears of War (ya think Angie’s excited?), discuss a further probing (Chris’s word, not mine) of the Microsoft purchase of Activision/Blizzard.  Also, ya know how you can’t get a PS5 still?  Well how about a PS5 slim?!  Chris and Angie also run through a bit of what they’ve been playing, including Halo 2, Marvel Snap and Luigi’s Mansion 3!  Enjoy!!! If you want to be a part of the conversation or if you have ...

Episode 147 - Spooky Season is here!!!

October 07, 2022 01:01 - 1 hour - 67.1 MB

It’s a spicy one!  Someone named Jon was on this episode.  Claimed he’d been here before.  We were too tired to argue so we just let him host.  James is getting into spooky season with some Dead Space.  This “Jon” character played Rollerdrome and Sifu.  Angie’s found her new spirit animal, Cat Mario, in Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury.  We also dive into some news.  Some might say CD Projekt Red’s a bit overambitious with their new project schedule.  And you can start earning rewards with Pla...

Episode 146 - Bring me all the Star Wars!!!!

September 30, 2022 01:12 - 59 minutes - 53.5 MB

We took a week off in order to let you process all the news that was brought to you the week before.  You’re welcome.  Since Jon is apparently dead or retired or something, Chris has taken over our coverage of 2D platformers with Unsighted.  James is digging (wink, wink) into some Shovel Knight and MGSV!  I don’t know about y’all but I could probably talk about Metal Gear all day.  They also hit on the news that Disney wants a new Star Wars game every six months.  I say fuckin’ bring it!  Th...

Episode 145 - Did Playstation and Nintendo bring it?

September 17, 2022 01:49 - 1 hour - 81.8 MB

James really likes outer space.  To prove it, he’s playing FTL (Faster Than Light) and Outer Wilds.  Angie really likes being frustrated by random occurrences.  To prove it, she’s playing Super Mario Party.  Angie also talks shit on the news sounder for the second week in a row.  I guess we should probably change it?  There’s also A TON of news since we had a Playstation State of Play and Nintendo Direct this week. If you want to be a part of the conversation or if you have a pressing quest...
