If you've seen the movie, tune in and prepare yourself for a heavy dose of hype and an informative comparison of the film to it's comic book counterpart! **SPOILER WARNING: This podcast is intended for people who have already seen Captain America: Civil War** Captain America: Civil War Popcorn Cast - [downlo...

This week, we revisit the impressive Nioh demo now that Nick has had a chance to play it and fall for it's CHARMS. We discuss some more specifics in regards to the new Hitman now that we've had our hands on another episode and Brad shares his take on the new Star Fox game. All of that aside, the real star of the show this week is Severed, a Vita exclusive game from Drinkbox, the studio behind Guac...

Jack is back! We discuss the impressive return of Ratchet and Clank as well as several other classic Mascot-Platformers from back in the day such as Sly Cooper and Jak and Daxter. We also talk at length about the impressive but brutally difficult demo for Nioh, a Dark Souls clone inspired by Onimusha and Bushido Blade from the creators of Ninja Gaiden.

It's a late show this week but we have plenty to talk about. We delve a little deeper into Dark Souls 3 and talk about Insomniac's weird but impressive re-imagining of the original Ratchet and Clank. Of course, we also rant about the rumored "PS Neo" (PS4.5) and all the negative implications that come with it.

April continues to be a hell of a month as we have SO MANY NEW GAMES to talk about! Nick talks Quantum Break , that sweet new game from Remedy about the dude with ice powers! Of course, it is also Dark Souls 3 week so we squeeze our initial thoughts on the new entry before delving into discussions on other games like Hyper Light Drifter , Enter the Gungeon , and Stories: Path of Destinies ! Podcas...

We kick things off this week with a little experiment... by starting the show with the 4PLAYER MINUTE! We tried a few new things this week and we want to hear your thoughts! Let us know what you thought of the changes in the comments below! So many games are covered this week! Everything from the new Final Fantasy XV Platinum Demo to the latest DOOM multiplayer Beta , to classics like Castlevania:...

Nick is out this week but Chris fills the void to talk about early impressions of Dark Souls 3 and Krispy shares his thoughts on Super Metroid following his extended session with the game during the most recent Mini Project M. Of course, it wouldn't be a Chris David podcast without some Division talk so we squeeze that in there for good measure. Podcast 450 - [download] Discussion: Super Metroid D...

We dig deep into the Salt and Sanctuary experience and perhaps even deeper than we should into Senran Kagura. Nolan also tells us about Maldita Castilla (chosen by Supporter of the Month, Prince of the Universe), a punishing homage to classic Ghosts and Goblins. In the news, we discuss some truly unfortunate and worrisome headlines coming out of the Sony and Nintendo camps. Podcast 449 - [download...

Get ready because this week's episode is especially salty! We shower both praise and disdain on the new Hitman in equal measure for some unexpected reasons and we also got some to spend some time with Salt and Sanctuary; an indie developed, 2D, love-letter to Dark Souls. To top it all off, Nolan busts out some of that new Senran Kagura... (Spoiler alert: There are BOOBS!) Podcast 448 - [download]...

Brad's recent obsession with Street Fighter is to thank for this week's foray into the fighting game scene. We ask the important questions like: "Why does newcomer, Laura, share so many strange similarities with Blanca?" and "Why the hell doesn't Nick know how to do a Hadouken?" Other than the brief returns to Far Cry Primal, The Witness, and even Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD, we also discuss the unfortu...

After taking the week off to play Board Games, we are back with a bunch of new games to discuss! Brad scratches that tactics itch with Fire Emblem Fates (Birthright) while Nick finished Layers of Fear AND found himself falling in love with Far Cry Primal despite it's admitted short comings. Kris and Chris also manage to do the impossible by making a really strong argument for The Division after pl...

"Have You Seen this Man?" -- If you haven't, you definitely should! In the first Popcorn Cast of 2016, Nick, Nolan, and Krispy discuss (and spoil the hell out of) Deadpool; the first raunchy, R-rated film in the X-Men universe and hopefully not the last! Ryan Reynolds' long struggle to bring this character to life has paid off in the best way imaginable. If you've seen the film, join us as we look...

We are up to our ears in gaming discussions this week! We cover the brief but memorable indie darling, Fire Watch; a game that ultimately feels more like a character study than a mystery. Nick and Nolan share their love for the exciting new expansion to Dying Light; and what podcast in 2016 would be complete without dabbling in more in The Witness? Of course, we also discuss the divisive news abou...

This week's podcast is a learning experience to be sure thanks to Nolan and his surprise lesson on Factorials. Of course, there are also a million games to talk about so get ready for some serious XCOM 2 talk; a game that seems to inspire both love and hate in equal measure. We revisit the Witness, Nick shares his romantic woes from the Witcher 3, and Krispy delivers his early impressions of the n...

We spent the past weekend in San Antonio for the 2nd Annual PAX South convention and despite being the smallest of the PAX events, the show still had some gems. We talk in depth about our impressions of games like Enter the Gungeon, Stories, Invisigun Heroes, and more! PAX South 2016 - [download] Discussion: PAX South! Enter the Gungeon Stories: The Path of Destinies Night in the Woods Invisigun H...

Hot damn! The Witness is upon us and is blowing minds left and right! We discuss our early impressions of the latest game from the mind of Jonathan Blow while doing our best not to spoil the magic. Chris Davis tries to sell us on the Division after spending a weekend with the Beta to varying degrees of success (or failure). But perhaps the most important bit this weeks comes in the form of Virtua...

Carlos returns to the couch this week after an extended stay in Mexico and despite what the title may imply, humor is in fact featured on this episode. Unfortunately, the same can not be said of Deadly Tower of Monsters despite being an otherwise delightful experience. Other games this week include a small horror-adventure game by the name of Oxenfree and our Supporter of Month's game of choice, R...

2016 is officially underway and it doesn't seem to be slowing down for the gaming industry! We hit the ground running with impressions of quirky little indie titles like Pony Island and Punch Club as well as the final release of Darkest Dungeon! Nolan revisits Dragon's Dogma and Nick shares his final thoughts on Halo 5 (but beware of a minor SPOILER at the 19 minute mark). Also... tangents... tang...

2015 was quite an amazing year for gaming. There was such a wide array of experiences from both established franchises and fresh new IP. As we always do, we sit down to give credit where credit is due by giving awards to those standout experiences from the previous year. This year, our categories are as follows: The 2015 Awards Podcast - [download] Discussion: Best Looking Game Best World/Universe...

Our first official podcast of 2016 hits the ground running with a super comprehensive list of all the games slated for release! We cover all the major publisher exclusives, PC, Handheld, and Mutliplatform titles. One thing is clear, now that our 2015 goggles are off, it's easy to tell that 2016 is going to be just as insane... if not more so! Let us know in the comments down below what your person...

Whether it's Halo 5 or the surprisingly complex nature of King's Quest episode 2, we have a ton of games to talk about before the end of 2015! We also delve deeper into Xenoblade Chronicles, Ori and the Blind Forest, and even briefly return to Fallout 4! Happy Holidays everyone! If you missed out on our gift exchange during the break, be sure to check out the YouTube video. Podcast 439 - [download...

Disney and JJ Abrams have just dropped a new Star Wars film in our laps and have essentially kick started a whole new generation of fandom. To our surprise (despite a few missteps), the film is quite good and we are all riding the Star Wars high until May of 2017 when Episode 8 hits theaters! Nick, Brad, and Nolan sit down to discuss their thoughts on the new film including villains, throwbacks, a...

It's been a big week! Xenoblade Chronicles continues to consume a sizable portion of the group, Nick delved into Life is Strange, and Steamworld Heist debuts as a worthy contender for Game of the Year considerations. Of course, the releae of Star Wars and Hideo Kojima's new studio has us all excited to see what the future holds. Podcast 438 - [download] Discussion: Xenoblade Chronicles Life is Str...

It's been a crazy week. We discuss two new huge releases (Just Cause 3 and Xenoblade Chronicles X) while revisiting a few oldies like Fallout 4, Assassin's Creed Syndicate, and Ori and the Blind Forest. Of course, we can't escape the impending controversy surrounding the highly anticipated Final Fantasy 7 Remake and it's potential episodic format but I think we manage to remain focused and MOSTLY...

This one's for you Icy Dude. This week, Brad reveals how he sabotaged the enjoyment of Drawn to Death for one unlucky player during the wonderful Drawn to Death private Alpha. It's all in good fun and we hope he understands. At least you got a podcast named after you... right? Nick also started up Invisible Inc and is loving it, Nolan played through the first episode of Albert and Otto, and Capcom...
