Nick talks Greedfall , a new "Eurojank" RPG, and Brad finally dug into the new Platinum Games title, Astral Chain . Brad returns to Monster Hunter World for the Iceborne expansion and Nolan goes WAY back with Final Fantasy 8 Remastered . Of course......

What a week! Nick somehow found the time to play a ton of Control , start Man of Medan , AND finish Blair Witch ! Speaking of Blair Witch, this new game comes highly recommended from Nick's corner. Nolan refunded a game on Steam (What could it be???) but is having a great time revisiting Final Fantasy 8 thanks to the new remaster. We ponder the implications of a big loss for Tango Gameworks and Br...

In a surprise twist this week, Nick and Brad are joined by 4Player alumni, David Liao , to talk about video games, e3, and nipple tape. It might be misleading to mention that Nobunaga himself, Travis Granger , is a guest but he does makes a brief appearance and truly makes this episode feel like a stroll down Memory lane (for about 1 minute). We talk Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled , Bloodstained:...

E3 2019 is old news and we are back in the studio and ready to talk about video games that are out in the wild NOW!

E3 2019 is upon us and the first day of press conferences is over. Microsoft and Bethesda both showed up with some pleasant surprises which were simultaneously overshadowed by the things that were missing and the relentless wave of marketing speak that left us scratching our heads. The day was telling to be sure but it featured some truly surprising cameos and some a few super exciting new IPs tha...

It is the week before E3 and with two weeks since our last show, we are absolutely bursting at the seams with exciting game industry news!

Strangely enough, on top of all that, we all ended up playing games set in SPAAAACE! They may all share a common thread but Observation...

There's a lot to unpack this week thanks to new releases on opposite ends of the development spectrum. While RAGE 2 hasn't hooked us yet, the game shows promise thanks to fun combat and the usual open world hooks. On the other end of the spectrum, Druidstone , the next game from the talent behind The Legend of Grimrock, manages to do a lot with a smaller budget. Nick goes to bat for Days Gone now...

Where to begin. We talk in depth about two new games that couldn't possibly be more different: A Plague Tale: Innocence has you avoiding The Inquisition and hordes of flesh eating rats in the Middle Ages while Hypnospace Outlaw simulates the 90's internet experience by tasking you with modifying content on the ugliest websites imaginable. In the wake of Detective Pikachu, Krispy was inspired to bu...
