Daydreamcast

This episode is a barrel roll of laughs and technical difficulties, but that won't stop the boys in the Satellite of Dreams from gushing about the oft-remade classic that is Star Fox 64. Combining short play times, punchy lightgun gameplay, and a branching narrative, Star Fox 64 remains one of THE games of the Nintendo 64 (and the 3DS, and the Wii U, and the Switch 2). Is there truly a secret...

In the wake of 007: First Light , Brogan and Murph jump back to 2005 to experience the last time we were between Bonds and games had to make due. The solution for From Russia With Love was to go back to the OG martini shaker by recruiting Sir Sean Connery himself to reprise his favorite (and arguably best) performance as 007. Unfortunately, this also means that it's a 2005 video game adaptatio...

Murph gets his freak on with guest host Stephen so he can finally talk about the best 7/10 AAA-Mid game: Days Gone . Once a showcloser for Sony's 2018 E3 showcase, Days Gone is already slipping from public consciousness. It's a crude, generic open-world zombie survival game about a sad white man...and yet there's something special about it (at least Murph thinks that). At very least it...

Daydreamcast is here to make your legs quake and make you go crazy. We drop into id Software's first 3D shooter following their success with DOOM. The name Quake is known far and wide in the annals of Boomer Shooterdom, but it's never enjoyed a contemporary revival like it's older siblings DOOM and Wolfenstein have. Is there a reason it's churning madness of speed, gothism, and exp...

Murph's been acting a little funny since coming back from Antarctica (and not haha funny). Brogan decides to test his humanity by talking about The Thing video game from 2002. Yes, there is a game based on The Thing and it's the official sequel to the film as sanctioned by Gamer ™ John Carpenter himself. Also being put under the microscope is the 2nd season of the Fallout TV show, Hades 2...

Brogan is contacted by a mysterious entity originating from the South Pole. Murph is back and he wants to talk about Mario's second handheld adventure Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins. This charming platformer doesn't have many elements that stuck with the Mario franchise, but the most enduring is the introduction of Mario's evil doppleganger, Wario! How does the gassy game dev tycoon co...

Here we talk Resident Evil 9, Mewgenics, and the fascinating third dimension. Time stamps to come

A new season means new challenges! Murph is off to a remote corner of the world researching new forms of podcasting and astral projection, Shacknews's TJ Denzer has joined the fray to talk to Bro about a variety of topics. Mostly? Mega Man. Time stamps to come.

It's time to portal and chortle with the Daydreamcast as we look at the iconic duology of Portals 1 and 2. Both games set the internet on fire with their space-bending puzzles and lolrandom humor that formed the bedrock of 2010s meme culture and indie game design, eventually entering the hallowed halls of those "Greatest Games of All Time" lists. But which Portal portals superior? Is t...

Brogan has been splattered into red paste on the wall and Murph doesn't know what to do about that so he calls in the Scream Team of Will and Thomas for the annual Halloween episode. This year we're leaving behind the tank controls and fixed cameras for visceral gunplay and bullet time as we look at F.E.A.R. A meticulous FPS left behind in the seventh generation that treads the line betwee...

Halloween season on the Daydreamcast kicks off with a late night double feature of occult action titles. The Crawling Man Brendan Hesse returns to talk about Diablo 1 and Symphony of the Night. Two games about battling the forces of hell with a arsenal of magic weapons are integral to the history of Video Games. While SotN went on to name an entire genre, Diablo 1 became largely overshadowed by it...

Today we're gonna get *weird*. Murph and Bro cover an obscure punk rock RPG Maker game called Hylics . This sonic tale of gibberish captures the mind with it's riffs on JRPG mechanics, stop-motion animation, and ethereal soundtrack. Bro and Murph survey it's wastelands to decode a method in it's madness, perhaps even losing themselves to it's zonked-out vibes. Watcha Playin&#39...

It's time to feel like podcasters talking about Arkham Asylum. Bro and Murph suit up to talk about one of the landmark games for licensed titles. The game that gave us years of Batman glazing. The game that invented the shorthands "Arkham Combat" and "Detective Vision." The game that makes you something something Batman. Does this comic book caper hold up, or do we need to memo...

It's dangerous to go alone, so Murph and Brogan call in Brendan and HPRshredder for a retro head-to-head! 1986 introduced the world to a green tunic boy named Link and his quest for Princess Zelda, and 1987 introduced us to that exact same duo but this time from a side-scrolling perspective! Which reigns supreme: The Original Article, or the Radical Reinvention? Intro 1:01 - Welcome HPRshredde...

It's a soft reboot! Not really, we're just experimenting with intros. It's just the boys today, Murph and Bro. We shoot the breeze about Doom The Dark Ages, the new media outlet named Skybox, and Murph's Myst minute. Then, we talk about the crazy week of non-E3 shows (that have already happened but did not happen at the time of recording, so laugh at us for bad predictions). timest...

It is time for a masochistic masterpiece. A game of controversy and friction, freelancer Jarrett Green has joined us to cover one of the most interesting RPGs of the PS2 era. Murph talks his Myst minute, which mysteriously has no Myst games. Instead he talks about piss and drowned gods. Jarrett has played and reviewed the recent Assassin's Creed game, and Bro has been obsessed with a golden id...

Episode 2 of season 5 takes a dark turn. We're in a parallel timeline where the nazis have conquered the globe. Charlie Walcholz is our only hope. We talk about Pikmin, Bro talks about a visual novel he's been playing, and Murph talks about the Myst minute. The variety minute is platform fighters because Charlie is preeeeetttyyyyy good at them. Then we talk about Wolfenstein 2: The New Col...
