13: I Run Away From Everything
June 01, 2015 12:37 - 1 hour - 51.6 MBA super-sized Under Your Thumb this week. We talk Batman: Arkham City, Grand Theft Auto V, Diablo II, and more Fantasy Life. Brian and Justin also continue their Witcher III discussion with a few surprises, followed by our adventures with the Splatoon Test Fire. Then the news leaves us impatient for E3 to arrive.

12: Fat Deck
May 25, 2015 09:58 - 1 hour - 32.4 MBIt's Witcher III on the podcast, as the game was released this week. Brian and Justin take us through some of their impressions so far like no other can. It was also a light week in news, but we have disappearing and reappearing systems, some DLC talk, and a man who will not be at E3. We're all torn up. Justin's Artwork
11: Team Brian vs. Team Justin
May 18, 2015 13:05 - 1 hour - 43.7 MBBrian's back and he shares his side of the haymakers and breaking and entering's story. He also has a ton of games to talk about. The Fantasy Life train also continues with Brian and Justin continuing their adventures in the game. We roll on to the end of Mass Effect 3, along with some classic Star Wars Rogue Leader talk. In the news: Silver Amiibos exist, bricked Xbox Ones, and Witcher 3 day-one's. Justin's Artwork
10: Calibrating
May 11, 2015 10:50 - 1 hour - 41.6 MBBrian's away this week (another causality to the Florida sun, apparently). But don't worry we have a stand-in, as the great Lucas Cattabriga (of RIVE fame) stops by to tell us about Destiny and Valiant Hearts. We also have more Mass Effect 3, Fantasy Life, and Justin has a story about Goldeneye and Haymakers. Following that, the numbers are back. Fortunately, we talk briefly about those and focus on the Nintendo theme park news.
9: Remastered For You
May 04, 2015 11:21 - 1 hour - 52.3 MBJustin finally makes his return, and we are all pretty indifferent about it. However, he does tell us his adventure with Fantasy Life, which Brian also happens to be playing. Anthony then tells us more of his Pokemon trials, while Stephen still struggles to beat Majora's Mask 3DS. Then, we move on to the news, and it's jammed packed with great things to talk about, but in typical Tangent fashion, we focus on a single thing and beat it to death. It's another Tangent podcast, everybody! Be su...
8: Full Circle
April 27, 2015 10:59 - 2 hours - 55.9 MBJustin's out of town, so we make sure to take full advantage of that and run amok. We have more Mortal Kombat X, Majora's Mask 3D, Mass Effect 3, and we all try out Mario Kart Wii U's 200cc class. Moral of the story: It's FAST. In the news, we touch on the DLC debate with Mortal Kombat, Steam, and King Sakurai's opinion.
Special Edition: Star Wars: The Tangent
April 26, 2015 11:59 - 10 minutes - 5.21 MBTangent Special: During the break of 'He's Holding Me Back' we ignorantly talk about Star Wars and make our cases for and against the prequels.
7: He's Holding Me Back
April 20, 2015 11:26 - 1 hour - 52.2 MBStephen kicks things off with his brief take on Majora's Mask 3D so far, and there continues to be something about those rupees. Anthony carries on with his Mass Effect 3 adventure, this time without crashes. Brian talks of his journey with Tower of Guns and the newly released Mortal Kombat X on Twitch. And Justin? Well, I think you can expect more Animal Crossing. Then, things went a bit off the rails in the news thanks to Dr. McGillcuddy. What went wrong? You'll just have to listen to find...
6: Chewy Sprees
April 13, 2015 09:27 - 1 hour - 50.8 MBIn Under Your Thumb, Justin finishes up Battlefield and leaves us all bewildered. Mass Effect 3 leads to a sprawling conversion that then crashes. Brian's quest comes to a close in Majora's Mask 3D, and he's holding on to his masks. In news, Justin lays down just how the Splatoon tea-table upending went, along with talk of the next Call of Duty and a Square Enix tease. Justin's Artwork
5: The Hatred Lives
April 06, 2015 08:00 - 2 hours - 56.9 MBI hope you all like plastic toys, because apparently Nintendo has even more of them, as we talk about the April Fools' Day Nintendo Direct in the news this week. But if that's not enough for you (and of course it's not), in Under Your Thumb we had Okami, Gears of War, and a lovely tune entitled Elegy of Emptiness, as Brian makes his way toward the end of his Majora's Mask 3D adventure.

4: I Am Second;
March 30, 2015 11:07 - 2 hours - 61.4 MBMajora's Mask 3D, Ocarina of Time 3D, Battlefield Hardline, and Pokemon Stadium are just some of the games we were playing this week. We also talk about the just breaking Zelda Wii U news. It was a big shock to us all, of course. Justin's Artwork
3: Tight
March 23, 2015 11:35 - 2 hours - 55.2 MBThe book on Dream Team is finally over, and we all couldn't be happier. We also talk Fallout 3, Ori and the Blind Forest, and Hyrule Warriors. Then we talk Nintendo's recent announcements in what is our tightest episode yet. Justin's Artwork
2: Deadwood
March 16, 2015 11:51 - 1 hour - 50.8 MBWe're back at it with additional PAX East talk, giving our final thoughts on this year's event. And can you believe it? We talk about more Animal Crossing and Amiibo. Unusual! But if that's not for you (nonsense), stick around for a bit of the news. Justin's Artwork
1: PAX East Adventure
March 09, 2015 02:12 - 1 hour - 50 MBThis week Under Your Thumb is all about PAX East (well, mostly). I manage to slip in some Dream Team talk, but that's turning out more like a nightmare. We also talk the news — some of us anyway. Take a listen to this PAX East 2015 Bonanza! Justin's Artwork
The Tangent Episode 1 Coming March 9th 2015
March 02, 2015 13:59 - 1 minute - 2.99 MBOur first (offical) episode launches on March 9, 2015. But for now, enjoy this.
Beta 24: 'Twas The Week Before PAX East
March 02, 2015 13:31 - 1 hour - 50 MBJustin breaks out his stats this week for Animal Crossing and we couldn't be more excited. While the whole world rejoices at the thought of even more Amiibos being released that can't be purchased. We also spend time talking PAX East, which we're gracing with our attendance, discussing what we're looking forward to playing on the show floor. Justin's Artwork
