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!

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...

**First off, I am very sorry that the show is super late this week. The holiday weekend, family, and the food coma that followed made work on site next to impossible.** As the Thanksgiving holiday looms on the horizon and the end of 2015 draws closer, we have a lot to be thankful for. The zombie apocalypse has been avoided for another year and the past 11 months have been a wild ride of excellent...

The gaming apolocalypse has begun. Fallout 4 is out in the wild and lives are being ruined (or that's what the internet is telling me at least). Even with hours of playtime, we have all barely scratched the surface but there is a ton to talk about. Brad and Nick also talk at length about their enjoyment of Rise of the Tomb Raider and rage at the disastrous release date that Microsoft chose for the...

Drowning. In. Games. Fallout 4 is finally upon us but our discussions barely scratch the surface of this beast of a game (Tune in next week for more). We do revisit a few other huge games like Metal Gear Solid V and Assassin's Creed Syndicate but Chris Davis joins us in the second segment to shed some light on the Fall's big shooters, Call of Duty Black Ops 3 and Halo 5. You might be surprised by...

Brad makes a bold claim right from the get go but I am inclined to agree. As we all hunker down and prepare for the arrival of Fallout 4, we continue our initial impressions of Assassin's Creed Syndicate which has sunk it's teeth in deep on 3 out of the 4 podcasters. Brad gives us the low down and Tales of Zestiria and we discuss our Subscriber of the Month's game of choice, Stalker: Call of Pripy...

Halloween is approaching and as one might expect, we are delving deep into the latest entry in the Fatal Frame franchise! Brad covers the ins and outs of the new game and explains why this may not be best game in the series unfortunately. Jack fills in for Nolan this week and inspires a lovely nostalgic, conversation about TimeSplitters 2. In other news, Assassin's Creed Syndicate is surprisingly...

In Nick's absence this week, our good friend Mike stops by to talk about the big Witcher 3 DLC, Hearts of Stone! In a surprise twist, we talk Guitar Hero Live and it's GHTV mode (not to be confused with HGTV) and Nolan even tried out the first episode of Minecraft: Story Mode from Telltale! Podcast 430 - [download] Discussion: The Witcher 3: Hearts of Stone DLC Guitar Hero Live Minecraft: Story Mo...

If you have any questions about the quality of Transformers: Devastation, we got you covered this week.

This week, we delve deep into the weird world of watching television in the Simon's household... On the video game front, Nick tries desperately to share his opinion on SOMA while speaking in generalities so as not to spoil the game's more interesting aspects. We revisit the Witcher 3 in an unexpected way and even talk a little Destiny and Journey now that Krispy has had an awakening with both of...

Jack joins the crew this week to discuss the "joys" of PC gaming, the state of open world game design, and the madness that is Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater! The great Mad Max debate continues and Brad falls in love with a charming little RPG called 'Undertale'. Krispy also weighs in on his feelings regarding Until Dawn.

Video Games are happening. We are playing them... The season has officially begun and we don't anticipate it letting up anytime soon. This week, we delve into our initial impressions of the highly anticipated Metal Gear Solid V!
