Filthy Casuals with Tommy Dassalo and Ben Vernel

Kickflips, backflips and a second type of more martial-arts based backflips as opposed to the first type of backflip which was more like a parkour backflip as we review OlliOlli World, Dying Light 2: Stay Human and Sifu respectively this week. Plus some chat about GTA VI, and other news! The boys are performing comedy around the country, and you can get tickets! Check out Tommy's new show Turtle I...

Episodes of the podcast Filthy Casuals with Tommy Dassalo, Ben Vernel and Adam Knox are, in a way, a bit like Pokemon. Because, and get this, you've GOT TO CATCH THEM ALL! Haha, wow, if the description is this good, imagine the podcast, haha. Honestly, we'll look back on reading this description, and remember it as the good times. The golden years. The times when could relax and have a laugh about...

The Infinity Machine grows another disgusting tentacle this week as Adam explores the world of computer chips that can pretend to be other computer chips, Ben joins him in exploring Escape Simulator, and Tommy joins them both in talking about a bunch of other stuff like Mechanical keyboards, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson news, Star Wars, Crysis and Blizzard games getting announced (whether those compa...

Special guest Ben Russell joins us this week, as we thought it might be a bit of a slow week in the world of video games so why not have a fun little chat? Then one of the biggest media company acquisitions in history happened and so now the episode is mostly about that. But also plenty more! We talk some Farming Simulator, some Halo, and a whole lot more. The fun little chat? Very much still fun....

The Southern Hemisphere's Summer Holidays have been and gone, and we shut our blinds and played some games. Games like Monster Hunter: Rise, The Life And Suffering Of Sir Brante, Mundaun, The Pedestrian, Time Loader, Superliminal, Shovel Knight, and a whole heap more! A podcast where Tommy, Ben and Adam talk about video games they've played? Ok, sure, if that's the sort of thing you're into. At th...

2022 is here and despite the world's best efforts so are we, and by gum if there ain't video games to look forward to. We chat PSVR2 details, the upcoming Uncharted movie, and a big old list of every game we're looking forward to right now from the year ahead. It looks like it's going to be a big year, and a good year, so we made a big, good podcast to match. What games are you looking forward to...

2021 must have had a great butt because I love to watch it leave. There's just enough time before the fireworks for us to go through our personal top 5 games of the year, and calculate the overall tally of our overall joint game of the year. Close your calendars on a not-so-good year with a good podcast about good games. Happy New Year, everybody! Thank you so much for listening in 2021, we'll see...

It's time once again for Tommy, Ben and Adam to huddle around the Game of the Year Tree and open 10 presents in ascending order of quality (plus honourable stocking stuffers) as yet another year drifts away into memory. Which games will officially be crowned "Good" here at the end of 2021? Which games won't make the cut, only to reveal how it felt to be snubbed ten years from now in a Howard Stern...

You want huge announcements and big, prestigious awards? Then look forward to next week when the first part of the Filthy Casuals Game of the Year celebrations begins. In the meantime, there's some show on YouTube or whatever called "The Game Awards" that we watched, I guess we can talk about that. Seems like a pretty brazen copy of what we're up to over here at Filthy HQ, but we'll let these upst...

Halo Infinite has been in development for pretty much the entire time we've been recording Filthy Casuals, so in a way, this episode is what the entire run of the podcast has been building up to. In another, more accurate way, that is not the case. Either way, we talk about Halo: Infinite! Tommy, Ben and Adam have all played it, and they also talk a little Solar Ash, Big Brain Academy: Brain vs. B...

Ben's first time playing Halo: Combat Evolved, Tommy's first time playing Pokemon: (Brilliant) Diamond and (Shining) Pearl, and Adam's first time playing guy who hasn't really played anything this week, as we round up some of the games we've been dipping into lately before the big holiday awards bonanza weeks kick off. This along with a bit of Mario Party Superstars, Animal Crossing, Halo: Infinit...

Three huge franchises finally brought together in the ultimate cross-intellectual-property, high-brand-awareness, synergistic-marketing opportunity. First, you've got the hero of the Tommy Man films himself: Tommy. When he's not quipping, he's fighting crime and quipping. He's here to do battle with Bugs Benny, wacky cartoon rabbit with the famous catch phrase we all know and love: "ehhh...what's...

Between Halo Infinite, Elden Ring and the GTA remasters, we get to talk about three games in early beta release this week! Now, after reading an absolute roasting like that, surely you'd like to wash it down with a nice podcast? Well may I recommend the podcast which this particular description is itself for, episode 317 of Filthy Casuals with Tommy Dassalo, Ben Vernel and Adam Knox? You'll take a...

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines! Video game development engines that is. It's time for big games to come out and big podcast episodes to be made about them. We talk Forza, we talk CoD, we talk Elden Ring, we talk some more Inscryption, we talk to each other about all of this and more. I truly believe that you would be well within your rights to claim that Tommy, Ben and Adam love video ga...

This week we had so much to talk about, we barely had room to put it all in the episode! We took some news about Meta and the Oculus port of GTA: San Andreas and placed that lovingly near the start along with a chat about Netflix Games. We carefully removed our review of Age of Empires IV from bubblewrap and placed it on the mantel, Ben showed everyone his very late review of Wolfensten II: The Ne...

Hey... we got this. This being an episode of the podcast Filthy Casuals where we talk about the trailer for the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy: Definitive Edition and the recent Sony State of Play presentation, review Resident Evil 4 VR, give a little taste of what Adam thinks about Guardians of the Galaxy so far, and even more on top of all of this. We're back in the same room and we're showing a braze...

A brief reprieve in the end of year video game deluge, but there's news aplenty still gushing through the gutters as we desperately try to bail out the information-water that is flooding the podcast, which is I suppose a boat? Whatever we are, we're talking video games. Live breaking news of the leaked Uncharted trailer hits us mid-record, we talk Switch Online pricing controversy, PC ports of Pla...

Video games are officially being released, and we are officially talking about them. Ask anyone if we do an OLED Switch review, a Metroid Dread review, a Far Cry 6 review, and our first impressions on Alan Wake Remastered in this week's episode, and you know what they'll tell you? That's right, the answer is that you don't know what they'll tell you because human beings are complicated and unpredi...

This week we talk about the talkies by reviewing the video game movie and Ryan Reynolds vehicle Free Guy. Ryan Reynolds vehicle as in it is a vehicle for driving his career forward, not a literal vehicle. We don't review the literal Ryan Reynolds of vehicles, which would be probably like a second hand Camry? Not sure. Let me know in the comments! Bit of fun, trying to figure out what vehicle is mo...

The pastel desert stretches out before you. The hum of your hover-bike's engine is the only sound aside from the soft swish of the wind. You look up and see a winding tower, cast in shadow as the hot sun shines right behind it. You slowly begin the climb. Hours later, you haul yourself up over the precipice of the tower's top, and cast your gaze across the beautiful vista, coming to rest upon... t...

It feels like a new time loop game comes out every day :) This time it's Deathloop and Tommy, Ben and Adam talk at length about why they reckon it's good. Also a little on Eastward, tomorrow's Nintendo Direct, and more. We've got a full episode with a spoiler-free review of Deathloop, and then after the end we turn off the lights, put the kids to bed, bang our knee on a coffee table, turn the ligh...

When you really think about, isn't life a long series of short and confusing puzzles and challenges that repeat at random until you eventually die? Wow, WarioWare. You are deep. Also deep is the level of examination we give to last week's PlayStation showcase, as well as talking about some other things. Razer Finger Sleeves anyone? No? Ok, well just the rest of the episode then. Have fun! You can...

This week Adam reviews the recent Skyrim mod turned full on game The Forgotten City, developed by some people from the forgotten City Of Melbourne, Tommy reviews The Forgotten Wii Sonic Game Called Sonic Colours That For Some Reason Has Gotten A Remaster, Ben joins them in talking about some news like Sony Forgetting That They Promised Something To Cities Worth Of People And Then Backflipping On I...

Enter the TWISTED minds of Tommy, Ben and Adam as this week they review their time playing Psychonauts 2, I Expect You to Die, different revisions of consoles that they can barely remember, and more. You know what's on my mind? The fact that this is a good new episode of the podcast Filthy Casuals. You can head over to our YouTube channel to watch videos of us playing games, including a new series...

I've been writing this episode description every day for the equivalent of 10,000 years. The day keeps repeating, I try to write the description again, and every night the whole day starts again. I just can't get this description right. I've tried listing what games we talk about, like 12 Minutes, Humankind, the Quake remaster, the Ghost of Tsushima update. I've tried explaining that we talk about...
