Beautiful and 2-Dimensional, Adam listens to Tommy and Ben's review of Ori and the Will of the Wisps this week, along with more talk of the next Xbox and speculation about the PS5, an update on the Infinity Machine, and a bunch of other games and so on. Hope everyone's keeping happy out there, a little bit of video game discussion could only help. Quick little update further to the podcast for any...

May we podcast in interesting times. This week Tommy, Ben and Adam are taking doctor's orders and recording from their separate homes as Tommy establishes whether or not he has come down with a case of the Hanks. Live via satellite, they discuss the announcement of E3's cancellation, the new Call of Duty Warzone mode, Black Mesa, Bioshock, and some other bits and pieces along the way. Thank god po...

There ain’t no getting offa this podcast we’re on. This week the boys cover all the important topics - sparkling water, chairs, and some video games. Final Fantasy 7 Remake Demo gets a good going over, Knox reviews his new Titan, and the lads commemorate the PlayStation 2 sort of. Unsheathe your Buster Sword (if you’re at home or in an otherwise private place, and certainly not if there are kids a...

This week the boys talk about the ultimate games design tool, something that lets you create amazing story games, platformers, RPGs and more. Turns out a really good version of that is just a Dreams. The boys also review Hades, Two Point Hospital and do a 90 minute spoiler review of Kentucky Route Zero! Subscribe the YouTube channel for our complete playthrough of Until Dawn, highlights and fan vi...

You want to talk spiky blue balls? You've come to the right three men. This week Tommy, Ben and Adam go in-depth on what appears to be one of the biggest video game film adaptation of all time, Sonic The Hedgehog (2019). This podcast is full of spoilers, we basically recap the entire movie, so if you're keen on seeing it then get down to the cinema before giving this one a listen. Otherwise, enjoy...

Hey Filth! Here's a very special treat: we're releasing ONE FREE PATREON EPISODE for you to feast your ears upon. This is the first in our 2010s Decade In Review series. We go through the best music, movies, TV and world events with sound drops and reviews of everything from each year. If you like it, get on the Patreon! $10 a month for ONE EPISODE A WEEK! Aside from this series we usually do revi...

This is a very special episode of Filthy Casuals. The boys are going to teach you about the birds and the bees. The bird, well that’s Kazooie from Banjo-Kazooie. The bees, well they’re also from a video game. And they fuck the bird. It’s Valentine’s Day Eve and we go through the best games for couples to play, as well as talk E3, Pokémon Home, Animal Crossing and give first impressions of the Fire...

Welcome to Filthy Casuals: Reforged. Tommy now looks weird and worse than you expected, Ben doesn't legally own his own thoughts anymore, and Adam will come to your house and steal your old episodes of Filthy Casuals away from you. This week the boys have a look at the controversy surrounding Blizzard's bungled Warcraft III remaster, as well as other news of the week, and take a further look at th...

As 2020 marches on, video games lie in wait far ahead, ready to pounce sometime in March, a little bit in April and May and then kind of not again until September. As for right now, we make do with what meagre provisions we have. The first hour or two of Kentucky Route Zero here. An inexplicable revisit to Return of the Obra Dinn there. Literally just reading out the names of bad sounding games fr...

HYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA...

"Two thousand and twenty" or "twenty twenty"? I feel like "twenty twenty" is the right one, but does that then mean that all the times we said "two thousand and five" or whatever were wrong? Should it have been "twenty oh five"? Because that sounds wrong to me. I guess it could be the case that we switch over the format partway through the century from "two thousand and nine" to "twenty ten", but...

It's time to wrap up our picks for the games and trends of the previous decade, before we dive headfirst into the 2020s. Will your favourites make the cut? Yes, they will. Because all of your video game opinions always line up with ours, there's never been a disagreeable statement made on this show by any of us. It's been fun recording these episodes, we sincerely hope that you have enjoyed them....

Ten years. They said it was too long. Ten years worth of video games? A full decade of highs and lows, seachanges and treechanges, memories and moments. A full decade's worth of video games talk. They said it was too long. So we shortened it to around an hour and fifty minutes. Please enjoy Tommy, Ben and Adam being possibly the last piece of video game related media to get around to a 2010's reca...

It's the most wonderful gaaaaaame of the yeeeeeear. Once again the finest minds in video game critiquing have the last word on which games of 2019 deserved attention. Tommy Ebert, Ben Siskel and Adam Rolling Stone turn their esteemed reviewer's gaze toward the best the year in interactive entertainment had to offer, and deliver the decade's closing thoughts on where video games went in the year th...

We are gathered here today to commemorate and celebrate the life of the dearly departed Schick Hydrobot. His shine was too bright, his presence too beautiful, and his shave too close and clean for him to stay with us in this world for as long as he deserved. We honour him today by discussing the 2019 Game Awards, and for some reason Adam reviews Dead Space, which the rest of us at the service have...

2019 is coming to an end, and before we look next week at the year's final announcements at The Game Awards (and then the far more important Filthy Casuals Game of the Year), we're raking up all the muck that's fit to print for the last time this year. Tommy gets some new Nintendo indie games, Ben gets a Sony State of Play and a possible Bioshock game in the works, and Adam gets to play Mass Effec...

Engaging dialogue and unprecedented choice in how things unfold are two things you absolutely will not find on this week's episode of Filthy Casuals. Ben dives into Disco Elysium on his brand new gaming PC, Adam reviews the original Luigi's Mansion for the Gamecube and still finds it to be a more relevant and modern product than Pokemon Shield, and Tommy joins the boys in recounting the week's new...

This week professional motocross rider Tommy Dassalo, bikini babe Ben Vernel and dirtbag who actually drinks energy drinks Adam Knox gather around to review the sickly and disgusting flavour of Monster Energy, along with follow up thoughts on Death Stranding and Pokemon, reactions to the Half-Life: Alyx trailer and more! Crack open a can of Filthy Casuals and feel absolutely repulsed by the syrupy...

Video games have an unpleasant reputation as the childish refuge of the adult unwilling to accept the responsibilities that life demands of them, of being a series of infantile fantasy worlds into which these modern Peter Pans retreat, but this week Tommy Dassalo, Ben Vernel and Adam Knox are here to reject these claims with reviews of a Pokémon game and a Star Wars game. Also some chat about a co...

After an arduous trek across unforgiving wilderness and a whole lot of questionable melodrama along the way, Tommy Dassalo, Ben Vernel and Adam Knox are here to bring you their first impressions of Hideo Kojima's long awaited masterpiece(?) Death Stranding. This is a big game that seems to demand quite a lot of its players to get the full experience, so this week the boys are delivering a partial...

You're in for a GOOd time this week as Tommy, Ben and Adam disGOOs the recently released GOOigi's Mansion 3, as well as taking a GOOnder and the GOOs of the week including Blizzcon, Red GOO Redemption and GOO. It's GOO for your GOO here on GOO this GOO, and we GOO with GOO for more GOO. GOO GOO GOO GOO GOO GOO GOO GOO GOO GOO GOO. Listen to our new premium Bandcamp episode all about the history of...

In space, no-one can hear you scream obscenities at each other during a team deathmatch. This week the boys go all in on Obsidian's new shooter/RPG The Outer Worlds, surely the only brightly coloured space exploration game called "Outer W____" released in 2019, and Adam continues his acceptance of the yearly Call of Duty cycle as just being a part of his life with a review of Call of Duty Modern W...

The boys are feeling the burn this week as they begin to scratch the surface of Ring Fit Adventure (with a review of the hardware itself and initial impressions of the game) and take that energy into defending a small town from boring dialogue in Little Town Hero. Plus the podcast contains news and discussions, really a sort of an all round informative entertainment product. Pretty cool concept if...
