Arcade Cozy

Episode Notes: Welcome back to Arcade Cozy! This week -- a little bit of this and a little bit of that. First off, EA got bought (or will be bought. Or...you get the idea). We talk about that, the pros and cons, and what it might mean for the future. Then, what we've been playing. Chris has been playing more Hades 2, Corey's been playing Ghost of Yotei. It's a good episode, so cozy up...

Episode Notes: Welcome back to Arcade Cozy! In this special episode, we are unpacking the final chapter of Kojima's epic Metal Gear Solid series. How? By talking about Metal Gear Solid 5, of course! It should go without saying, but  this episode contains spoilers for the entirety of the Metal Gear Solid series. So,   if you have not finished this game or any of the others in the series, and do...

Episode Notes: Welcome back to Arcade Cozy! This week -- it's a whole lot of steak talk. Big steaks, little steaks, steaks that sizzle, steaks you can share. Steaks, steaks, and more steaks -- oh, and video games too! Specifically, a lot of Hades 2, a lot of Xbox Game Pass's new price increase talk, and a few other things as well. It's a good episode, so cozy up -- we hope you enjoy it...

Episode Notes: Welcome back to Arcade Cozy! This week -- it's a whole lot of new stuff -- specifically new trailers, reveals, locked-in release dates -- you know the drill.

That includes more Silksong, some Stardew Valley, Trails in the Sky, and mor...

We've been playing it even more and we have more to say. Oh, and Corey finished Metal Gear Solid 5, so...

We talk the original game, why it's memorable, and dive into our thoughts so far now that we're finall...

Episode Notes: Welcome back to Arcade Cozy! This week -- not a lot of news, except the fact that Chris and Spectrum are at it again, duking it out after dark (aka his internet is bad and it's causing a mess. Again). Despite that though, we still had time to play a little IGN's "Guess That Game" and talk about a bit of what we've been playing! It's a good episode (albeit,...

Episode Notes: Welcome back to Arcade Cozy! In this special episode, we are unpacking the journey that was Sam, BB, & friends that we love and call Death Stranding 2.

There's a lot to talk about, but...

Episode Notes: Welcome back to Arcade Cozy! This week, we're back again with a solid little Nintendo Direct. It was a good ol' Partner Showcase so no big first-party announcements, but a few neat little nuggets came out of it, so we talk about that.

Then, what we've been playing which has been pretty much entirely a little game called...

Episode Notes: Welcome back to Arcade Cozy! This week, we're talking a big surprise: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion! No, it's not 2006 -- it's 2025, but what's old is new again, and a "remaster" of the game not only was revealed, but was released the very same day!
