Episode 180: Yoshi's Crafted World Review 04.04.2019

I want Yoshi to eat me and turn me into an egg. Curled up and warm, I would follow Yoshi to the ends of the earth, serving as his humble satellite until he saw fit to fling me at a switch, a collectable, or just a wall should I provoke his holy wrath. Truly it would be the greatest gift of all for Yoshi's majestic tongue to deem me worthy of having it's soft, wet expanse wrap itself around me and...

The boys also break down the Nindies showcase! Subscribe th...

Episode 177: Devil May Cry V, Baba Is You 14.03.2019

Devil May Cry if he don’t listen to this episode of Filthy Casuals in which Tommy reviews Baba Is You, we discuss the upcoming Nintendo Switch “VR” and the news of the Master Chief Collection coming to PC.

Episode 176: Dead or Alive 6, Ape Out 07.03.2019

Humana humana, those beautiful Filthy Boys are back and they're jigglier than ever. For just seven hundred and twelve thousand dollars extra, you can have the added bonus of imagining that we were wearing skimpy little costumes while we recorded this Dead or Alive 6 edition of Filthy Casuals, in which we also review Ape Out, chase up some news, sound extremely out of touch about Apex Legends, and...

Episode 173: February 2019 Nintendo Direct 14.02.2019

It's a seemingly random time that appears absolutely meaningless and arbitrary, so that must mean it's Nintendo Direct time! This week the boys have a dig through the latest offering of news and announcements from The Mario Mansion and there's actually some pretty cool shit in there. Also a cheeky tiny bit of Super One More Jump and I think we talked about some other stuff too but to be perfectly...

Episode 158: Red Dead Redemption 2 Review 01.11.2018

What's sure to be the biggest game of the year is out this week, and Tommy, Ben and Adam have a lengthy, SPOILER FREE talk about it.
