Filthy Casuals with Tommy Dassalo and Ben Vernel

The Year of Luigi may have been many Dark Moons ago, but the big man in green is back and his definition is high enough that Tommy's gone in to have a look at what Luigi is up to in that Mansion of his. Less high is the definition of the Dwarves in Dwarf Fortress, but still higher than they used to be, and it's been enough to entice Ben to see what they're up to in that mountain of theirs. Kinitsu...

If an Erdtree falls in the forest, but the one person around to hear it is currently rolling around non-stop, will they be able to hear it? Just one of the thought exercises we get into this week, including examining deep questions such as what would it be like if one were to remaster Yooka-Laylee already? How many demoes of Rift of the Necrodancer and Metal Slug Tactics must a man play before he...

The Switch may be in its twilight years, but there's still life in the old girl yet, and Nintendo put out a few sunset surprises at this week's Nintendo Direct.

Imagine a car so bizarre and otherworldly, so affected by the unknowable mystic forces that inhabit a bizarre stretch of land known only as The Zone, that its radio could only play this episode of Filthy Casuals. I agree, what a wonderful car that would be. You'd be able to listen to us talk about Pacific Drive, card game roguelike Balatro, the recent Nintendo Partner Direct, and more! What a time...

Two rounds are loaded into the chamber of a gun. One of them will blast the sounds of a review of the new remake of Mario vs. Donkey Kong into your ears. The other will blast similar sounds, this time reviewing new indie hit Buckshot Roulette. My advice? Put the gun down, leave this dangerous nightclub backroom, and simply listen to this episode of Filthy Casuals instead. Plus, time flies by ever...
