Mike leads the comrades in this month's game series focus episode on his beloved Pokémon series. The rest of us are just haters so Mike needed some backup, so we brought in the pod's first guest, Joe, one of our longtime friends from high school. For all you diehard fans out there, I have one thing to say to you: seek help! twitch.tv/CampaignComrades @CampComPod Hosted by: @bennybox427 @cutthemike...

The Comrades break down the highs and lows from the first season of HBO's Last of Us adaptation. How does the show stack up to one of the best game narratives of all time? Is it doomed to failure? You'll have to listen to find out. twitch.tv/CampaignComrades @CampComPod Hosted by: @bennybox427 @cutthemike @whatsyourengel Matt. Music by Nico

The Comrades watch and discuss the 2005 Doom movie featuring The Rock! Lots of perverts in this one, and frankly we love it! But is it a good movie, or even a good adaptation, because let's be honest, the bar is set pretty low at this point in video game history. twitch.tv/CampaignComrades @CampComPod Hosted by: @bennybox427 @cutthemike @whatsyourengel Matt. Music by Nico

It's the Comrade's monthly roundup of our top news stories from January! The OGL saga comes to a tentative closure, we do a postmortem on E3, take a closer look at GPU price manipulation, and show solidarity with the proposed union of card authenticators at TCGPlayer. twitch.tv/CampaignComrades @CampComPod Hosted by: @bennybox427 @cutthemike @whatsyourengel Matt. Music by Nico

It's the first game series episode for the Comrades. We tackle the God of War series and its most recent release, God of War: Ragnarok. We break down the development of the series, dive into the plot of its different eras, and analyze the controversial history of the franchise. Salutes to Matt for going platinum the day before recording! **Spoilers for God of War: Ragnarok from 33:00-34:03 and 55:...

The Comrades are out of their depth with the Uncharted movie adaptation. We break down the plot, characters, and why this movie did not need to exist. twitch.tv/CampaignComrades @CampComPod Hosted by: @bennybox427 @cutthemike @whatsyourengel Matt. Music by Nico

New year, new podcast format. We are changing things up a bit here at Campaign Comrades. We are excited to bring you new kinds of content this year, but to ease you little content piggies into it, we are doing a new version of our news episode. We talk Activision (because of course), the new Sony EV, how Meta workplaces is both sexist and will give you a migraine, as well as diving into the righte...

As a special end of year treat, the Comrades have made their own version of the Game Awards. Find out who takes home the coveted Most/Least political games of the year...the answers might shock you. Congratulations to all the nominees, you're all special in our book. twitch.tv/CampaignComrades @CampComPod Hosted by: @bennybox427 @cutthemike @whatsyourengel Matt. Music and Production by: Nico.

The Comrades react to the 2022 Game Awards. Hear all our thoughts on all the winners and losers. But you know who the real winners are...gamers, unless you're an Xbox stan. twitch.tv/CampaignComrades @CampComPod Hosted by: @bennybox427 @cutthemike @whatsyourengel Matt. Music and Production by: Nico.

The Comrades discuss the recent slate of games that have released in an unfinished state and why we think we've gotten to this low point in gaming. Ben is finally fed up with talking about the Microsoft-Activision deal, but must continue to do so out of contractual obligations. twitch.tv/CampaignComrades @CampComPod Hosted by: @bennybox427 @cutthemike @whatsyourengel Matt. Music and Production by:...

The Comrades talk the game award nominations, more Activision-Microsoft news, and much more. But let's be honest, this is a Pokémon episode. twitch.tv/CampaignComrades @CampComPod Hosted by: @bennybox427 @cutthemike @whatsyourengel Matt. Music and Production by: Nico.

Final Fantasy is for mayo asses only. Microsoft shouldn't be left alone, they might just hurt themselves. Newly announced FIFA "games" sound like lots of fun! And finally, the Comrades play two rounds of the new hit game: "Who is the Villain Here?" twitch.tv/CampaignComrades @CampComPod Hosted by: @bennybox427 @cutthemike @whatsyourengel Matt. Music and Production by: Nico.

As Activision continues to try and bust the new unions popping up amongst its studios, Microsoft is left holding the bag trying to defend its purchase of the embattled publisher. Also, what the fuck is going on with Square Enix. All that and more! twitch.tv/CampaignComrades @CampComPod Hosted by: @bennybox427 @cutthemike @whatsyourengel Matt. Music and Production by: Nico.

The Comrades prepare themselves for the all consuming reality that is God of War Ragnarok. Activision continues its tired attempts at worker intimidation and union busting, all while the new war crime simulator makes almost a billion dollars after its full launch. Very cool and normal all around. twitch.tv/CampaignComrades @CampComPod Hosted by: @bennybox427 @cutthemike @whatsyourengel Matt. Music...

Everyone is melting down this week. We cover the Bayonetta voice actor drama, and discuss how the troubled actress has ultimately made matters worse for worker solidarity and better pay. Some seriously depressing news as twitch star Amouranth details her struggle with domestic abuse. More Microsoft self-negging in an attempt to appease regulators. And finally some good union news. twitch.tv/Campai...

The boys are down a comrade this week as Matt takes the reins. There was a lot to talk about, ranging from new releases, retractions, and brand new accusations of sexual harassment and abuse at Activision. twitch.tv/CampaignComrades @CampComPod Hosted by: @bennybox427 @cutthemike @whatsyourengel Matt. Music and Production by: Nico.

There is a bunch of inter industry news and shakeups going down. Can you spare a tear for the troubled executive? More acquisition news and drama unfolding. We end the ep with the interesting question: what exactly is in those chess player's asses? twitch.tv/CampaignComrades @CampComPod Hosted by: @bennybox427 @cutthemike @whatsyourengel Matt. Music and Production by: Nico.

Apologies to our rabid listeners for the late episode. Somehow, Google Stadia has returned, only to die again. Ubisoft loves toxic work culture--craves chaos, especially if that means delaying Skull & Bones yet again. Disney wants to smother you under the weight of all the Star Wars Games they have cooking. twitch.tv/CampaignComrades @CampComPod Hosted by: @bennybox427 @cutthemike @whatsyourengel...

You leak GTA 6--go straight to jail. A new indie publisher emerges. Breaking news--major twitch stars act like spoiled children. twitch.tv/CampaignComrades @CampComPod Hosted by: @bennybox427 @cutthemike @whatsyourengel Matt. Music and Production by: Nico.

Lots of game news, but no more journalists to write about it. Are you ready for a million Assassin's Creed games? We continue to follow Ben's journey getting even more Square-pilled, no matter all the bad things they do. twitch.tv/CampaignComrades @CampComPod Hosted by: @bennybox427 @cutthemike @whatsyourengel Matt. Music and Production by: Nico.

Don't you hate it when two large corporate entities with inordinate amounts of money and power fight in the press? twitch.tv/CampaignComrades @CampComPod Hosted by: @bennybox427 @cutthemike @whatsyourengel Matt. Music and Production by: Nico.

The Comrades kick things off with some heated gaming surrounding the disappointing launch of the new Saints Row. But don't fret, there are more and more new games on the horizon to get unreasonably hyped for. We discuss some of the highlights from Gamescom before catching up on the current state of the Microsoft acquisition of Activision. twitch.tv/CampaignComrades @CampComPod Hosted by: @bennybox...

It's a tabletop episode this week, as Matt and Ben discuss the newly unveiled "One D&D," the updated ruleset for Dungeons & Dragons that definitely isn't a new edition--we promise. Who else can't wait to pay your monthly subscription fee for a "constantly evolving" ruleset? twitch.tv/CampaignComrades @CampComPod Hosted by: @bennybox427 @cutthemike @whatsyourengel Matt.
