59: Burpees

April 17, 2016 04:00 - 2 hours - 59.9 MB

With a man down (literally down in Florida) and no 'God Mic' this trio powers on this week for a lengthy Under Your Thumb. First on the agenda for Brian is Battleborn, followed by Ratchet & Clank. We've got Gary up next, and he steps into more Quantum Break and the newly released Dark Souls 3. Speaking of which, so does Anthony this week, and along with that some Final Fantasy IV. Just how drunk is the 'Drunken News' this week? I guess you'll have to listen to find out, but topics include ...

58: The Newest Dongles

April 11, 2016 04:00 - 2 hours - 63.1 MB

Minus awkward greetings, we get straight to the games. Anthony starts with Far Cary Primal. And that's it. Odd. Justin's next with Borderlands Pre-Sequel 2, some Fallout 4 DLC (surprise, surprise), Paper Mario: Thousand-Year Door, Quantum Break, and Simpsons Hit & Run, which he confused for Road Rage. Gary jumps in on Quantum Break and Borderlands. Finally, Brian rounds it off with Miitomo, Foul Play, and Enter the Gungeon. And Brian's back with the Drunken News this week. The amount of me...

57: Phone Small, Console Big

April 04, 2016 04:00 - 1 hour - 37.9 MB

Under Your Thumb opens this week with Far Cry Primal to much shock. Then he admits to his failure with Justin in making their Animal Crossing meet-up happen. Speaking of Justin, he's up next with Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. Then we have Gary who's got Replay VHS is not Dead and the Doom Closed Beta. Then buckle up because Stephen takes care of The Drunken News this week, which isn't really a problem for him (the drunk part, that is).  The Drunken Show Notes: PlayStation Plus: Free Games f...

56: Give Me Another Chance Bristol

March 28, 2016 04:00 - 1 hour - 54.6 MB

Justin leads off this week and his list is long. He starts with more Gears of War Ultimate Edition and then moves on to Dishonored. But what we all really came for is his Paper Mario Thousand-Year Door saga. Brian's up next and boy does he love The Division. You should listen to see why. Next is Anthony, and Tom Crook has finally gotten all his money. Or has he? We also find out Anthony's had enough of Paper Jam and those stupid toads. Then there's some more talk of Twilight Princess HD and ...

55: Spelunky Vibes

March 21, 2016 04:00 - 1 hour - 44.5 MB

It's a three man crew this week, in a new recording location, and Justin begins with more Pokemon Yellow talk before diverging into the The Division where it shifts into Brian. He also talks the Uncharted Collection and Temple of the Mask . Anthony rounds out this week with some strong words for Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam and more talk of Twilight Princess HD. The Drunken Show Notes: Microsoft Wants PS4 and Xbox One to Connect Online TMNT: Mutants in Manhattan comes out of its shell with a ...

54: Old Rod

March 14, 2016 06:24 - 1 hour - 45 MB

A familiar voice finally returns this week, and in his typical fashion comes unprepared. No worries, however, there are plenty of other games to talk about. Justin opens up briefly with Metal Gear Solid and then returns to talking about Paper Mario Thousand-Year Door, before dropping the bomb that he got Pokemon Yellow. No where near as far as Anthony. Speaking of him, he's next with Dishonored, more thoughts on Paper Jam (and the awful toads), and Twilight Princess HD. A great game, but not...

53: Mars, Venus... Uranus?

March 07, 2016 12:00 - 2 hours - 57.7 MB

Stephen's out again this week, but no worries we brought back Gary Hines again to fill in and he ends up going first in Under Your Thumb this week. He talks more Until Dawn and then moves on to The Solus Project, followed by Metal Gear Solid 5 where Justin takes over. Paper Mario Thousand-Year also makes a return. Anthony's next and it's Dishonored, Pokemon 20th Anniversary Red, and a surprise with Mario & Luigi Paper Jam. Brian ends it off with Broforce, GALAK-Z, and the Uncharted 4 Multi-p...

52: I'm Bro-Choice

February 29, 2016 12:00 - 2 hours - 58.3 MB

Stephen's out this week, but that's alright because Gary Hines steps in to talk some games. Anthony's up first in Under Your Thumb (surprise, surprise) and he and Justin talk some Animal Crossing: New Leaf. That isn't all, as Dishonored also makes a return and leads to a lengthy group discussion on the game. Next up is the guest, Gary, and he played Killzone: Shadowfall for the PS4. He's clearly not a fan. He also dipped his toes into Until Dawn. A "movie" game. Gary's last game was Metal Ge...

51: Rolling Crystal Flash

February 22, 2016 12:00 - 2 hours - 60.1 MB

Lots of games this week. Justin continues his trek though Paper Mario: Thousand-Year Door and is having issues with a slightly edger computer. Anthony brings the heat with Tomb Of The Mask, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Undertale, Dishonored, The Devil's Third, and Fire Emblem: Conquest. It's quite the list. And Brian brings in Unravel and has a few choice words for Street Fighter V. We've also got more listener questions! Get in touch: Creep us on Facebook Stalk us on Twitter Or throw us t...

50: Don't Forget To Shake Your Bush

February 15, 2016 12:18 - 1 hour - 38.1 MB

Brian opens today and talks about the very recent game Firewatch. Stephen's next and finally gets out of his "Paper Jam". Justin continues Thousand-Year Door and plays Unravel. Anthony's back and takes a shot at Nom Nom Galaxy along with continuing with more of Xenoblades. We also have listener mail. The Drunken Show Notes: Amazon rolls out Lumberyard, an entirely free game development engine 'Rocket League' reaches your Xbox One on February 17th Activision confirms Destiny sequel delay ...

49: Green Slot 3

February 08, 2016 12:29 - 2 hours - 67.5 MB

Justin picks himself this week to go first, but that's okay because the game he's playing this week is the GameCube title, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. And even though there's very little platforming he manages to still struggle with it. He also played 'Lifeless Planet', I game he's talked about in the past. Next up is Brian who played Nom Nom Galaxy, Helldivers, N.O.V.A. III, and his issues with Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. Stephen hasn't been sober all week judging by all the empty al...

48: Tissues For Two Reasons

February 01, 2016 12:00 - 2 hours - 61 MB

Here we are again, Stephen opens again and talks more Paper Jam. Brian also lends his thoughts. A lot of annoying things for what is a solid game. Brian goes next and Gone Home is his game this week. It leads him to shed some "manly" tears. Anthony plays more Wolfenstein and gives Dishonored a shot. Finally, Justin talks more Tomb Raider and is back on his Animal Crossing kick. He also slips back into SteamWorld. The Drunken Show Notes: Regarding the Mighty No. 9 release" Pokemon 20th Ann...

47: Concise

January 25, 2016 12:00 - 1 hour - 37.8 MB

It's happened again, Stephen leads off Under Your Thumb this week. He finally brings in a new game, Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam. But it's his only game this week. Brian is up next, and he also got Paper Jam. Oh, and his famous "toilet-style games", Pocket Mortys. Justin's next and besides some brief Fallout 4 updates he is still in love with the new Tomb Raider game. Anthony ends it all with Wolfenstein: The Old Blood and Destiny: The Taken King. Just hearing the game's name leads Justin into a...

46: Matt Damon Dies On Mars

January 18, 2016 12:00 - 1 hour - 48.4 MB

Stephen opens again, this time with 100% less cough (almost). His game has yet to arrive, so he returns to Batman: Arkham Orgins Black Gate. He enjoys it, therefore it must be a shitty game. He also talks briefly about the iPhone game 'Lifeline'. Hey, it's free. Next Brian also returns to Assassin's Creed Syndicate and Adventure of Pip. However, what he really came here to talk about was Halo 5. And he definitely had something to say. Anthony talks about a game that isn't looked upon nicely ...

45: Unflushable

January 11, 2016 12:00 - 1 hour - 42.5 MB

Stephen’s got no games and is coughing incessantly this week. So, you’re welcome. Other than that exciting news, Justin returns and opens with, of course, some Fallout 4, and we learn he’s on his third playthrough. Shocking. He’s also making his way through the Gears Remaster. Anthony heads back to Smash Bros. for the Wii U to check out some of the DLC. He also shares some more thoughts on Xeonblades and then talks about a new game he is playing called ‘Tengami’. Brian ends it all with more ...

44: Tangental Top 5

January 04, 2016 12:00 - 2 hours - 73.8 MB

It’s the start of a new year and that of course means someone has to be missing. It’s alright though, as Gary Hines fills in for Justin this week. Anthony leads off with Bloodborne and Xenoblade Chronicles X. Brian shares more of his thoughts about Assassin's Creed Syndicate and then Adventure of Pip. Gary’s up next with his thoughts on Rise of the Tomb Raider, and of course talks some Halo 5. Stephen rounds it all up with a bit more Code Name S.T.E.A.M and Kid Icarus. Then after the break...

43: Pun Epiphany

December 28, 2015 12:12 - 1 hour - 37.6 MB

It’s the day after Christmas and all through the house Justin’s puns were stirring but even he had enough. Stephen leads off with one “classic” game and one that was a surprise. First, Buck Bumble. Let’s just say, you’ll want to get your hands on this. Second, he pulls the trigger on Code Name S.T.E.A.M. Surprisingly, he kind of likes it. Justin then follows up, with surprise, surprise, Fallout 4. Anthony brings us back from the brink with more Bloodborne DLC that results in a broken control...

42: Hey, Matthew!

December 21, 2015 12:00 - 1 hour - 37.2 MB

A first for The Tangent, a morning podcast. Anthony begins with Xenoblade Chronicles X and then moves back into Bloodborne. Justin this week spends more time talking about the game he started last week, SteamWorld Heist, than he does Fallout 4. We’re all shocked. Stephen then talks a little PlayStation TV with Batman Arkham Origins: Blackgate, an odd entry into the series. Lastly, Brian wraps up with King’s Quest, Rocket League, and Leo’s Fortune. The four of us also briefly touch on our tim...

41: Punching That Bag

December 14, 2015 12:00 - 1 hour - 54.7 MB

You know, as crazy as it sounds the Fallout 4 talk may have died down. That's really not true, but at least we have other games to talk about this week. Brian opens this week with King's Quest and Journey for the PS4. Stephen is next, and expands on LA Cops. Anthony talks Xenoblades X and more Fallout 4 prompting Justin to chime in. Ending with him talking about Steamworld Heist for the 3DS. Drunken Show Notes: PSX 2015: Final Fantasy 7 Remake Will Be a Multi-Part Series Minecraft Coming...

40: That's How Tough Guys Do It

December 07, 2015 12:00 - 1 hour - 54.5 MB

Can you believe it? We’re still talking Fallout 4. Justin and Anthony open up this episode with more of their continuing tale in The Commonwealth. After that, Anthony, talks about Xenoblade Chronicles X which came out this week. A very impressive game. Brian also plays some more Fallout 4 and Tomb Raider, but throws us a curveball with Knight Squad. Stephen wraps up again with the iOS game Monument Valley (which Brian played too), and his tease of LA Cops and To The Moon. Drunken Show Notes...

39: Thanksgaming

November 30, 2015 12:00 - 1 hour - 49.9 MB

It’s a day after Thanksgiving, but that isn’t going to stop us from talking about games. This week we talk about the games we were thankful for this year. But before we do that, we have a nice Under Your Thumb this week. Anthony and Justin lead off, and what do you know, more Fallout 4. Anthony also had another game to talk about: Blood Bourne: Old Hunters DLC. Brian’s next and talks more Tomb Raider and blows Justin’s mind with Fallout 4 remote play. The ultimate toilet game. Finally, Steph...

38: The Older It Is, The Softer It Gets

November 23, 2015 12:00 - 2 hours - 56.2 MB

The Fallout 4 talk continues, leaving Stephen out in the cold. Maybe one day he'll be able to get it together. That leaves Anthony, Brian, and Justin to continue to talk about their time in the Fallout 4 world. Stephen, however, does bring a game or two to the table this week. Simcity for the SNES and Super Mario World. Brian also has additional games. He first touches back on 'Rise of the Tomb Raider' and it carries on being a pretty game. Then he drops a mobile game: 'Smashy Road'.  Drunk...

37: The Brass Tacks

November 16, 2015 12:00 - 2 hours - 61.2 MB

Well, it's here. It's the big Fallout 4 week. We blast through Under Your Thumb to get to a lengthy discussion of the newly released and anticipated Fallout 4, followed by, as always, the Drunken News. Show Notes: Nintendo Direct Summery November 12, 2015 Here are the first 100+ backward-compatible Xbox 360 games Call Of Duty Franchise Recovers As Black Ops III Sells $550 Million In Opening Weekend BETHESDA SOFTWORKS ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL LAUNCH OF FALLOUT® 4 Creep us on Facebook Stalk us...

36: Simultaneous Release

November 09, 2015 12:00 - 1 hour - 46.7 MB

We're just counting down the days now to the Fallout 4 release (some of us, anyway). But before it consumes this podcast we've got a another Under Your Thumb to deliver. Stephen leads off and finally has something to talk about, however brief. For his first of two games, he tries his hand at the Triforce Heros demo, but is forced to abandon that ship because of Nintendo's inane stipulations. The second was the 2013 release of Tomb Raider. He knows one thing: she's definitely British. Justi...

35: Puberty Hits Us All

November 02, 2015 12:00 - 2 hours - 76.9 MB

It's the big Halo 5 week and we bring in a returning guest and our resident Halo expert Gary Hines to help. It's an in-depth look at a game that has long been anticipated. We also manage to sprinkle a few other games in there as well. Stephen is shooting blanks this week so we quickly move on from his non-week. Brian sheds some more light on White Night, and sprints his way through Halo 4 (or not). Anthony does a horror block with White Night, Slenderman Arrival, Evil Within, and Outlast. Ju...

34: Giant Inflatable Me

October 26, 2015 12:00 - 2 hours - 56.3 MB

It's a Halloween themed episode. We all tried to play games that have a Halloween "feel". Some of us better (Brian) than others. Anthony leads us off (what else is new?) and takes a step back to Yoshi's Woolly World and Dragon Quest Heros, the latter of which has become boring. Brian revels in that fact. But his Halloween game? The Evil Within. Brian on the other hand brings his 'A' game. And we all couldn't be more shamed. His first Halloween themed game is, Costume Quest 2. A podcast favor...

33: Tenacity And Teamwork

October 19, 2015 14:08 - 1 hour - 49.9 MB

A game-packed week for us. Justin returns and leads off with Valiant Hearts  and the Star Wars Battlefront beta. He then continues his adventure with Ocarina of Time 3D. Stephen's up next with much ado about nothing. Though, he has a few choice words for the Xbox 360 update process. Anthony puts us back on the rails with Super Meat Boy, Monster Hunter, Dragon Ball XenoVersem, and Dragon Quest Heros for the PS4. Followed by Brian's trip to New York Comic Con where he got the chance to play a ...

32: R.I.P. Alderaan

October 12, 2015 12:10 - 1 hour - 51.2 MB

As we get closer to Fallout 4 season, Justin, finds that he needs a bit of a break. But that's okay, because we bring in our old pal, Lucas Cattabriga, to fill his shoes this week. And with that, Brian opens up with a free game on PlayStation Plus right now: Super Meat Boy. A game Anthony also indulged in this week, too. If you haven't heard, it's a challenge. Brian also got to try his hand at the Star Wars Battlefront Beta. Next, Stephen briefly mentions his continued time with Super Mari...

31: Do 'Ya Dirty

October 05, 2015 11:34 - 1 hour - 52 MB

The streak is finally over. Stephen opens this week with a return to Super Mario 3D Land. Maybe he's finally overcome his issues with the circle pad? Then again, maybe not. He also talks about a smartphone game called Floors and follows with his feelings about the new Animal Crossing Amiibo cards. Brian steps back in time to 1997 with Mega Man 8 on PSN while touching on, the now regulars, Super Mario Maker and Splatoon. Tomb Raider, Saints Row: Re-Elected, Castle Crashers, and Valiant Hearts...

30: Like A Female Sully

September 28, 2015 11:27 - 1 hour - 49.3 MB

Another wonderful episode of the Tangent podcast. Anthony leads off (again) to tell us briefly about Monster Hunter 4 and then hops straight into Super Mario Maker where Brian joins him. Brian's up next surprising us all with his purchase of Splatoon and his thoughts on it. Justin plays more of Road Warrior, the game formally known as Mad Max. Destiny: The Taken King makes a brief appearance, and so does Tomb Raider and Castle Crashers. Stephen wraps up this week with the Genesis game Battle...

29: West Side Story

September 21, 2015 11:29 - 2 hours - 57.9 MB

Three for three. Anthony opens the podcast again to talk about more Super Mario Maker with Brian joining in to share his thoughts. It turns out, it's also abuzz on the internet. Who knew? Justin tells us more about Mad Max and slips in two other games, Castle Crashers and Costume Quest 2. Stephen then shares his thoughts on more Sega CD games. This week we got the luxury of Lethal Enforcers and Lethal Enforcers II. We then stepped into a whole bunch of strange with the game Sewer Shark. Not ...

28: Actifies

September 14, 2015 12:22 - 1 hour - 44 MB

Big week. Anthony leads us off with Bloodborne again, but we quickly divert into Super Mario Marker, where Brian also jumps in and they share their time with the game so far. Spoiler: Get it. Stephen then takes us on another trip to Sega CD land where he played Corpse Killer, a light-gun shooter. He also manages to slip in some Castle Crashers. Justin ends off Under Your Thumb with Fantasy Life and his compliments to the game Mad Max for giving him something to talk about before Fallout 4. T...

27: Hornets Are Dicks

September 07, 2015 12:07 - 2 hours - 56.2 MB

Anthony leads off Under Your Thumb with more Bloodborne and a PS4 game called Grow Home. Justin finds more time to play Borderlands II and eludes us all with his thoughts on the Mad Max game. Brian this week has his fair share, talking also about Grow Home, but then returns to Rare Reply to let it rip on Perfect Dark and Conker's Bad Fur Day. He ties it up with Crossy Road and the Gears of War remaster. Stephen returns to Night Trap with a much better understanding, while dipping his toes in...

26: Dignified

August 31, 2015 10:31 - 2 hours - 58.4 MB

It's back to our regular length episodes this week. Stephen starts us off with Night Trap for the Sega CD, and finds that maybe the manual can be helpful, just as long as it doesn't bore you. Brian's up next with more Rare Replay where we learn that some of the included games are not streamable. He also touches on Grim Fandango and a smartphone game, Pac-Man 256. Anthony then talks about more Golden Sun: The Lost Age, and shares his experience of Bloodborne on his newly acquired PS4. As a su...

25: Switch Problem

August 24, 2015 12:24 - 1 hour - 33.1 MB

This week's episode was recorded a day earlier (Thursday), so it wound up a bit shorter, however that didn't stop us from talking about some great games. Justin leads us off with Fantasy Life, Fallout Shelter, Mario Strikers, and Mario Kart Double Dash. Stephen then discusses his brief time with Snatcher and the GameFAQs top 10, along with Zombies Ate My Neighbors. Anthony, of course, continues on with Fallout 3. While Brian came prepared with Halo Combat Evolved MMC, Everybody's Gone To The...

24: Detective Richard Sprinkles

August 17, 2015 11:58 - 2 hours - 58.4 MB

Well, after many weeks of guests, we're all finally back. In Under Your Thumb, Anthony has more to say about Fallout 3, along with Golden Sun: The Lost Age, and Earthbound Beginnings. Brian finds himself enjoying Nidhogg, Everybody's Gone To Rapture, and Halo 3 MMC. Justin's week consists of portable titles, starting with Fantasy Life and two smartphone games: Fallout Shelter and Does Not Commute. Lastly, Stephen wraps up this week's Under You Thumb with some Sega CD titles and a group discu...

23: The Best Of Your Ability

August 10, 2015 11:16 - 2 hours - 58.1 MB

This episode was full of surprises, one of them being that yet another one of us was out for the week. Can you guess who it was? Gary returns to fill the the vacant seat. Under Your Thumb takes some surprising turns (and some not so surprising ones), as Anthony returns to talk Fallout 3 and Smash Wii U DLC. Justin goes on about Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, Fantasy Life, and Dark Souls II, which merges with what's under Gary's thumb, who manages an attempt at Metal Gear Solid: The Phantom Pain...

22: Ouuuuyah!

August 03, 2015 10:52 - 2 hours - 73.7 MB

Oh boy, where to begin? It looks like we're rotating guests again, as Anthony takes his turn to step out. But hey, don't worry, we brought in someone new for the episode. Gary Hines steps in this week to discuss Dark Souls and Halo. Brian continues on his Rocket League praise and joins Justin in talking about Wolfenstein: The Old Blood. We also talk Fallout, but not in the way you'd think. News takes some sharp turns (and is lengthy) as the tangents run wild. Among that, Halo 5's bet is brou...

Audio Review: Batman: Arkham Knight

July 29, 2015 10:24 - 39 minutes - 18.4 MB

Listen as Brian and Justin share their thoughts on Rocksteady Studio's latest game, Batman: Arkham Knight.

21: Sewer Troll

July 27, 2015 11:27 - 1 hour - 42.7 MB

This week Justin is out of town and in the beautiful state known for its maple syrup, Vermont. But don't worry we got a familiar guest to take his place, Lucas Cattabriga. He also opens up Under Your Thumb with a game Brian has been spending a bit of time with, Rocket League. Then even in Justin's absence we get to hear about more Fallout as Anthony has still been playing '3'. And we wrap up the segment with a long discussion about Phantasy Star Online I & II. In the news, we've got broken 3...

20: Can You Read?

July 20, 2015 10:27 - 2 hours - 57.5 MB

July 20th 2015 0800 EST It is day 2456 of 2569. There are no signs of it slowing down. We are all tired, bored, and broken. Its will is now stronger and more resilient than ever, and with another person joining the fray, there may be no signs of relief in the near future. Tomorrow is not looking bright. However, if we do manage to survive the fallout, you can expect to hear a somber news segment, as we talk about the passing of Nintendo's Satoru Iwata. Justin's Artwork Satoru Iwata Notes ...

19: Hot Garbage

July 13, 2015 11:21 - 1 hour - 48.3 MB

Something something rocket launcher ninjas. That pretty much sums up Under Your Thumb this week, that and yelling. Oh, and the end of Batman: Arkham Knight. But, no, really, rocket launcher ninjas. Then the news, which was light this week up until Fallout 4 info. Justin couldn't be stopped. Justin's Artwork

Audio Review: The Witcher III: Wild Hunt

July 09, 2015 18:24 - 29 minutes - 13.6 MB

In our first ever audio review, listen as Brian and Justin discuss what makes this the game for others to live up to in our current console cycle. Transcript

18: Hips And Hands

July 06, 2015 10:56 - 1 hour - 51.7 MB

The four of us managed to make it through the 4th of July weekend here in the USA to bring you another episode of The Tangent, but we think better when we're not sober. In a "under the weather" Under Your Thumb, Stephen gives the smartphone game Slayin a try and finds it's just as good as Brian described it. Justin also discovers that it's for the Android too and is distracted for the rest of the episode. Anthony talks more Diablo III, but that talk quickly moves to cheating in Skyrim. Then ...

17: Playcurious

June 29, 2015 11:15 - 1 hour - 49.4 MB

Stephen and Anthony don't take up much time in Under Your Thumb this week to give room for Brian and Justin to tell us about Batman: Arkham Knight, which was released this week. They both have some strong feelings on the game so far. Then we move into the news, and this week it gets a little weird, to say the least. It's the leftovers from E3 that no one really wants, but you say that you like anyway. Or something like that. Justin's Artwork

Special: The Micro Saga: No Hope

June 25, 2015 12:12 - 1 hour - 34.2 MB

Part one of a three part series. It is a period of civil war. Rebel Brian, having just purchased an Xbox One White Edition, is looking forward to bringing it home, setting it up, and playing a game on it. But the Evil Galactic Empire Microsoft has other ideas in mind. Much like the Xbox 360 'Red Ring of Death', Brian finds himself with a broken X-box One — a nonfunctional disc drive — and stranded in the digital download only universe. It is here, with the Tangent crew, we hope to topple ...

16: No Inclination

June 22, 2015 11:20 - 2 hours - 75.9 MB

Ready for more E3 commentary? Well, of course you aren't, but here it is anyway. We skip Under Your Thumb this week and break the show in half to discuss seven of the big conferences, and rate them the only way we know how. How'd they fair? Who were the winners and who were the losers? You'll just have to listen to this week's Tangent to find out. Justin's Artwork

15: Technicalities

June 15, 2015 12:25 - 1 hour - 38.9 MB

This week there are new games to be talked about in Under Your Thumb. Anthony gives Bravery Default a try, and it doesn't go so well. Justin fills us in on more of his Fantasy Life adventures, along with Brian and Justin continuing their Witcher III thoughts. Finally, Stephen has a whole list of games he made an attempt to try during the week, but finds himself coming back to one in particular. In news, right up against E3 2015, we get the first signs of what's to come. Also, as mentioned o...

14: The Sneaky Tip

June 08, 2015 11:40 - 1 hour - 48.7 MB

With E3 just mere weeks away, we decided to make our predictions on the event. Hopefully, that means you will have forgotten how wrong we were when E3 actually rolls around. In any case, Under Your Thumb was light, besides a lengthy discussion on Fallout 3 sparked by Stephen and the recent Fallout 4 news. Speaking of news, come listen to us mess up the North America/Japan Final Fantasy release order and numbering. Oh, and we also talk about some actual video game news. Justin's Artwork
