And you thought we were done talking about gow 2018, didn't you? Well, this week Josh is coming at you with some thoughts about the game that he didn't share previously, and what the Bible has to say about about how our intellect affects every part of our being. I know it doesn't make sense here, but hopefully it'll make a bit more sense after 20 minutes of talking about it? Our Facebook group is...

In the past 30 years, the video game landscape has drastically changed. Not only the games themselves, but even media about games has expanded to include very deep dives on very niche topics, with an audience who continually comes back for more. Whether it's Youtube content or Twitch streaming, how do we interact with these media about our favorite kinds of media? Our Facebook group is The Backlog...

Josh watches a lot of Youtube. A good chunk of that is related to video games. Here he talks about some of his favorite channels that delve into more of a documentary style, or at least provide really good arguments as to why you should or shouldn't play certain games. Here are some links to the channels: Slope's Game Room The Angry Video Game Nerd The Gaming Historian Resonant Arc My Lif...

Nothing too profound this week, just a couple of dudes laughing over the state of the world and everyone's favorite retailer, GameStop. This was cut from our Patreon exclusive preshow, the brohang (hence the different intro/outro music). We'd love for you to join in our ongoing conversations! Our Facebook group is The Backlog Book Club and Here is our Twitter . You can also email us at thebacklogb...

Somehow we managed to make an episode about What Remains of Edith Finch that is longer than actually playing through the entire game yourself. That definitely says something about how much the game has effected us, though it also confirms that we are just absolutely horrible at brevity. A huge thanks to Micah for hanging out with us all night for this one! Hit him up on Twitter for more of his tho...

On last week's episode, Josh said that Final Fantasy IV doesn't deserve a spot on the Top 100 Games list. TheTechnoFunkBoy begs to differ, and on today's bite sized episode, you'll hear why it's so great. A bit thank you goes out to TheTechnoFunkBoy for his contribution and for tackling such a tough subject. Be sure and check out his podcast Retro Station which is also a part of the Play Well Netw...

Josh goes crazy and decides to hack away half of our Top 100 games list while Nate talks him down. Somehow we thought it would be a good idea to discuss 125+ games in a single episode--you think we'd know by now how bad at brevity we are but it turns out we continue to surprise ourselves by doing the same thing every episode. Since this episode so beefy, it had to be split into 2 parts. Part 2 con...
