343 had big armor to fill as they took over for Bungie. They made some significant changes to this series, some good, some bad; but mostly, they wound up telling the most emotional Halo story to date. They might've later screwed it up with the sequels, but nothing tops the Chief and Cortana relationship here. Excuse us, there's something in our eyes. Thank you to our Patrons! -Jason H -K...

But gosh dang it, we freaking excited to find out! Big thanks to our new Patrons! Malik D Luke K Jason H Katelyn H Get in t...

For the final time in our Wii arc of episodes, we are joined by AJ Jones to discuss Skyward Sword. Some hate it, some love it, some have opinions so strong that they have to make podcasts about it. Actually, we aren't that opinionated about it, but had a great time anyway! We also conclude with a wonderful round of Wii themed trivia questions. Enjoy! And Happy Birthday Jake! Big thanks to our...

Before this episode, Jake had never played Resident Evil 5! RE 5 had some big shoes to fill after the masterpiece of RE 4, a job we certainly do not envy. The game ended up being an action-heavy, brightly lit, non-scary, co-op adventure. But despite all of that, it was a ton of fun to play and we wouldn't have it any other way! Big thanks to our new Patrons! Malik D Luke K Jason H Katelyn H G...

One of the Wii's biggest hits, as well as a surprising amount of lore to add to the Mario canon (not Bullet Bills). This wonderfully weird Mario game took us to space and blew us away with incredible platforming and music. We are once again joined by AJ and he rocks a legit ocarina! Big thanks to our new Patrons!
