Console Crusade

A belated breakdown of the delayed direct!

EJ loses it over Nitnendo's online service, console variants and MARIO. Nick remains as cool as a cucumber.

Nintendo Indies, Spider-Man #PuddleGate, Cyberpunk, and more!

Join us as we talk games set in feudal Japan, 90's sass mouth dragons, the Master of Chiefs, TV goggles and their annoying ponytails, and finally our impressions of Dead Cells. Later we travel back in time to talk again with indie game developer Milo Kent-Pettit and his latest video game creation, as well as his future aspirations.

Join EJ and Nick as they discuss Hollow Knight, Jackbox games, get distracted by the daunting future of console gaming, then wax nostalgic about the Mega Man X Legacy Collections. Hoo ha hoh!

IGN, Sony's Spiderman, Nintendo and the Smash Bros HYPE.

EJ and Nick are joined once again by the grand gamer Andrew Chavez, and with his help, run through E3 2018 to make some soft "predictions"---because come on, everything has been leaked or teased already.

The boys wax over recent(ish) Nintendo news before receiving a last minute prompt from a few fellow Nintendo stans---top five character additions to Super Smash Bros Switch, GO!

EJ's traveling for work (still), so here's another episode from the backlog! This week, Andrew Chavez from The Precipice Between Two Hills podcast joins EJ and Nick to talk about money, Jeff Bezos, anime and sometimes video games. Console Crusade GO

Friend of the program Brennan Dryer drinks a beer and talks some shit about video games.

The boys wanted to get together and (finally) catch up on all of the game news from the past two months, but things didn't quite go as planned (as usual). Console Crusade, GO!

It's been awhile, but EJ's back to have a chat with aspiring game developer Milo Kent-Pettit. We're still dealing with some technical issues, so bear with us! Special Guest: Milo Kent-Pettit.

The boys dive deep and cast their imaginary ballots for 2017's Game Awards. Is it Nintendo's year? Or can Sony and Microsoft make themselves a presence? Listen to Nick and EJ wax over a list of games they've never played!

The boys talk Nick's new PlayStation purchase, Super Mario Odyssey, Skyrim on Switch, and then tease a Wii-Eulogy.

The boys talk EA, Star Wars, flippin LOOT BOXES and of course, Nintendo. Let the classic edition speculation begin!

The La Croix Boix are back, talking Nintendo Switch, Gamestop and Amazon Retro Zone. EJ and Nick also discuss which franchises they want to come to their beloved Nintendo platform---more games that EJ will never finish!

EJ is still bad at games, and Nick doesn't let him forget it. Console Crusade, GO!

The boys are busier than ever, which means game news has gone in one ear and out their rears. Instead they talk about what they've been playing lately, and argue over which of John Williams scores is actually best!

The lads catch up and chat Nintendo as usual. Also, we play shooters now.

It's been another long hiatus (the boys will be releasing again consistently this autumn!) but they're finally back with some rumblings and ramblings, choppin' it up over their nostalgia for the N64 and PSOne. Croc is the GOAT---stay out our mentions! Special Guest: Trever Chaffe.

The announcement of an impending video game remaster is almost always met with a collective sigh, but EJ and Nick ramble about even more they'd like to see. SPY-RO! SPY-RO!

The gaming press event of the year has blown past us, and what better way to celebrate than to talk about it way too much? We watched 'em so you don't have to, but this isn't a summary - it's a veritable dissertation on all the best (and worst) of the Electronic Entertainment Expo. E3 brother!

EJ and Nick are back after an interminable hiatus, and after a not-so-quick catching up with some "retro" pickups we've acquired, we dive into E3. Sure, it seems a bit late for that, but that's how we operate! Hear us ramble about EA, Microsoft, Bethesda, Ubisoft, Sony, and Nintendo - and haphazardly cobble together our idea of an SNES Classic. We're back!

It's been a few weeks since the Nintendo Switch launched, but the boys haven't had any time to record in between all of the Zelda they've been playing, and all of the Zelda they've been playing. Come listen to EJ and Nick articulate themselves as well as a couple of bumbling Bokoblins!

EJ and Nick exercise their adept proclivity to dwell on the esoteric---AKA they bullshit about memes for way too long. Maybe they talk about the Switch, maybe they wax philosophical and debate the necessity of graphical powerhouses, but they definitely miss the other's point completely and make themselves sound like idiots. Tune in to another dynamite episode!
