Kodra shares his thoughts about his...

Featuring: AmmosArt, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks!

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, and Tamrielo   Hey Folks! We were out last week because Bel's world was burning and all of the smoke was killing his lungs.

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! This week we started with a single topic…  and by the time we were finished ended up having to bump half of the assembled topics to next week in order to keep the runtime down.  We start off with Bel talking about the bad news for Path of Exile players, and how there is no new league around the corner.  He also...

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks!

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! It is that time again when we pull together our list of favorite games from 2024.  In theory, we each get three primary choices and an almost unlimited number of honorable mentions… which causes us to divide the show into two packed episodes.  In this case, we have 36 games on the list divided into two shows of...

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   This week we start off with some discussion of the Video Game Trailer show…  which really should just call itself that because the "Awards" thing feels like an afterthought at this point.  Bel is excited for Witcher 4 and Dispatch, and Ash's favorite game of all time is finally getting a Sequel.  We also are curious what s...

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks!

Featuring: Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! We are back after a week off last week due to too many being out.
