Defend the Podcast

We're back later then we've ever been for the 13th annual Best Games chat. It's somehow the longest one we've ever done, oops! Joe and Jamison sit down and reflect on their time gaming in 2025, despite it being May 2026.   For the video version, visit: https://www.youtube.com/defendthehouse Also find us at: https://www.patreon.com/defendthehouse

This is a supplemental podcast thing that was done for a video you can find on the channel (or linked below). Ben and Jamison got on a discord call to discuss a few things, mainly focused on walking around in Death Stranding 1 and 2.   The full video this chat is a small part of   Article discussed - Oze's Mighty Bokka Porters

Pray, aught. Tell us of your travels, stranger. We're returned for our forty third episode of the podcast. This one doesn't have "Defend the Podcast" in the title; I'm mixing it up. If you don't like it, figure out how to complain to me about it, and I'll consider changing it back. http://patreon.com/defendthehouse http://twitch.tv/defendthetwitch http://twitch.tv/ben_jabro http://fb.gg/defendtheh...

Boy, we're back with another one! On this episode, we all sneak in some God of War (2018) time ahead of Ragnarok's release, we breakdown the spookiest (and not so spooky) games form Spooky Szn 2K22, we get NASTY with Scorn, we breakdown the two big multiplayer titles of the holidays - Modern Warfare 2 (2) and Overwatch 2 (1)! Alot more sprinkled in there... here! Look for yourself! Games Discussed...

What? Could it be? An episode released within six calendar weeks of the previous episode? We're as surprised as you are. The games machine keeps churning them out over here, and this episode covers a whole mess of bases. We hope you're doing well out there. :) GAMES DISCUSSED: Resident Evil 8 Village DLC: Shadow of Rose // Resident Evil 4 Remake // God of War (2018) // Bloodborne + DLC // Playstat...

Hang ten, gamers. We're finally taking a break from all our fin summer activities (gamin') to discuss what we've been up to (gamin')! A doozy of a summer recap here, but we do our best to - as always - feign a prompt pace in lieu of meticulous discourse. Hope you enjoy the episode! And if you do, tell a bud! http://youtube.com/defendthehouse http://fb.gg/defendthehouse2 http://twitch.tv/defendthet...

Happy new year! ...... We're a little late with this one, but we boy howdy, have we been gaming since the start of 2022. A special episode as well, as Jamison and Ben record from the same room!

It's our 4th (?!) annual Best of the Rest Awards! Every year, Ben, Joe and Jamison take some time to give some time to the games of yesteryear that may not have had their moment to shine, so what better time to go over that, than halfway through February! We've compiled seven categories to award games for their feats in Cooperative play, Boss Fights, Introductory Hour, and more! But before we begi...

Well. We spent the last year talking about the build up of these two games SO MUCH, that those discussions would probably account for 40% of our show over the last year. So, what better way to commemorate that love, than to honour those two games with their own episode. Here's our discussion, once-but-not-for-all, on Halo Infinite and Battlefield 2042. We recorded this early January, after much ti...
