Filthy Casuals with Tommy Dassalo and Ben Vernel

List Season comes to an exciting close as we tally up the games of the year as voted by YOU the listener. While you've been exercising your democratic right to vote over the holidays, we've been exercising our democratic right to play some video games. Siri, remind me to look up what "exercising your democratic right" means. We've played stuff like House Flipper 2, the handheld Wario backlog, and...

It's 2024, and this year is going to be OUR YEAR. Because our only goal this year is to bring you a preview episode featuring a big old rundown of the games we're looking forward to in the next twelve months. And we have ACHIEVED OUR GOAL. All you need to do is visualise, execute and achieve, folks. We're talking Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the Nintendo Switch successor, Metaphor: ReFantazio and tr...

Our top 5 games of the year are finally ready to be revealed, and what better way to do so than by recording our thoughts on them through the medium of podcasting. It quite frankly beats saying them out loud to ourselves alone in a room, and it's not even a close contest. Thank you all very much for listening throughout 2023, and thank you to video games for being pretty good. Have your say! Parti...

Another year is in the books and another podcast about it is in your ears.

The 2023 Game Awards happened and here's a wrap-up of what happened (which was, in fact, a lot of people being told to wrap it up). We talk about announcements like Monster Hunter Wilds, new Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi games alongside a bunch more out of Sega, a cool new look at Metaphor: ReFantazio, same day drops like Lego Fortnite and honestly just a ton more. We are honoured to accept the awa...

Grand Theft Auto VI, like many of the residents depicted within it, has a trailer, and we've got thoughts. Expressing our thoughts into live microphones is the route we've chosen to go down this week, and we hope you'll join us for it as we also talk about Knuckle Sandwich, Steamworld Build, The Exit 8, Lethal Company and a bunch more of the latest from the world of video games (Earth). Tickets fo...

This week we've got our first images of the upcoming Fallout TV series, hopefully our last images of pause menu advertisement transition screens, and a review of a sequence of images that played one after another, roughly 60 per second, and in doing so added up to a playthrough of The Talos Principle. Plus we talk follow-up thoughts on Persona 5 Tactica and Super Mario RPG, Like A Dragon: Ishin!,...

It's name-your-game-after-its-genre-week here at Filthy Casuals, as we talk the spit shined new version of Super Mario RPG and Persona 5 Tactica. Speaking of spit shines, The Last of Us Part 2 is getting one, Knights of the Old Republic is probably no longer getting one, and you'd best believe that we talk about those things too. Plus a whole bunch more! Listen for yourself if you dare to doubt me...

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? It's another-amazing-episode-of-Filthy-Casuals-hundred-hours already? Roger that, Podcast App Of Choice Actual. This week it's time for Adam's annual Call of Duty fuelled existential crisis, Ben and Tommy talk early Like A Dragon thoughts, and we chat about what a Grand Theft Auto 6 might look like, the newly announced Steam Deck OLED, and more besides. Tactically insert som...

It's French Title Week here on Filthy Casuals, as we look at new games Jusant (French for a lowering tide), and WarioWare: Move It! (French for yum), as well as talking news like the Zelda movie announcement, Mass Effect teaser trailers, the Analogue Pocket and a whole bunch more. Patreon - weekly bonus episodes and secret Filthy discord and FB group Bandcamp Premium Episodes YouTube - including l...

It was a dark and stormy night. Three podcasters made their way down a winding dirt road, tripping over long microphone cords swinging between them as they tried desperately to record one more piece of content before that thing caught up with them. Their shaky voices talked about video games, which meant mainly discussing patent news and corporate layoffs. They heard something behind them. They di...

This week we get things SWINGING with reviews of Spider-Man 2 and Super Mario Bros. Wonder, SWINGING over to the news section for some chat about a strange blood-infused Diablo PC and a secret private YouTube video from Rockstar, and even end up SWINGING into a little chat about Suika Game, plus some more besides. Will you find the different hosts opinions to be SWINGING wildly from one end of the...

I know a certain blue blur who'll be listening at double speed this week, as we speed into Sonic Superstars, leap off the top of a building and into Assassin's Creed Mirage, and sit comfortably with a phone in our hand into Finity, plus chat about the closure of the Microsoft/Activison deal, and a whole bunch more besides. The blue blur I mentioned, by the way, I was talking about that guy from Wa...

We convened at a convention this weekend, and we can tell you about what we've played there including Like A Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name, Sonic Superstars, and a ton of indie games. We've played some of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Beta and Forza Motorsport, and Adam's played and loved the language translation adventure game Chants of Sennaar. Speaking of language, I've been a...

For the second week in a row we snuck into the Nintendo offices under cover of broad daylight and took a peek at an upcoming game - this time the Joy-Con Swan-Song WarioWare: Move It! Plus we review the new worlds-within-worlds puzzle adventure Cocoon from former Limbo/Inside developers, and jump back into Cyberpunk 2077 to see how much the new patches and DLC have changed the game. All this plus...

We wahoo'd our way over to the Nintendo offices this week to have an early it's-a-me of Super Mario Bros. Wonder and came away feeling pretty let's-a-go about it, plus we've played Lies of P, Sea of Stars, the Resident Evil 4 Remake DLC Separate Ways, and have a bunch more to talk about besides. Sounds like a podcast if you ask me! Patreon - weekly bonus episodes and secret Filthy discord and FB g...

It's a big week here at Filth HQ, so we've been breaking our backs, smashing our skulls and vividly ripping our guts out to bring you all the latest, including Mortal Kombat 1, Nintendo and PlayStation's latest shows, the Unity pricing furore, the big Microsoft leaks, and a whole heap more. Tommy's gotten a Steam Deck for example! It's such a big week that that isn't even page 1 news. In a regular...

You may know him from his award-winning stand-up comedy, shows like The Tourist and Young Rock, or from yelling "Get down! Covering fire! Enemy flanking us from the west!" at you in Hell Let Loose. We talk about the joys of combat screaming, the woes of modern VR, and a whole bunch more on this skull-shattering episode of Filthy Casuals. You can catch Greg performing live in London this October! H...

Bethesda's Big Boy is here and we've got thoughts, so it's time to find out once and for all whether you are allowed to officially enjoy this game. Also a touch of chat about Super Mario Wonder's direct and a little smattering of some other bits and pieces, but this week is really all about getting intergalactic, getting planetary, getting planetary, and intergalactic. 🌏 Get Exclusive NordVPN dea...

It's a big week for big machines. We've jumped into the cockpit of FromSoftware's latest big robot action game, the driver's seat of PlayStation Studios' latest movie, and also give our thoughts on what we think sitting in any size of chair and playing things on a PlayStation Portal might be like. Attach your robot ears of choice, strap on your seatbelt, and put on some of the goofiest looking ear...

Hey there, hip youth! It's me, funkster extraordinaire and spray paint graffiti tag lover, Filthy Casuals Episode Description! I'm down with video games, and so we're gonna be givin' you the straight lowdown on what's up with the latest gaming fresh dope. Who's chillin' over there in the German crib at Gamescom?

A fragging good time this week as we talk about Quake 2 Remastered, Pokemon Sleep, the Papers Please LCD game, Hello Kitty Island Adventure, follow-up thoughts on Baldur's Gate 3, and a whole lot more. For the younger amongst you, a "Frag" was what we used to call a "kill" in a multiplayer game. "TikToks" were called "Vines", "cringe" was called "awkward" and "listening to music" was called "scrob...

You enter a dark cave. At the end of the shadowy tunnel sit three figures, hunched over and chattering. Their teeth gnash back and forth as they talk to each other in some garbled, hideous dialect. *Perception check successful* They are speaking with Australian accents, harsh and abrasive. You slowly approach, and realise that they are talking about video games. Specifically, they are talking abou...

Three cute little guys are carrying a Pikmin 4 review your way, and as we hyup hya hyup hya our way over to you, you can also listen to us talk about the new Mickey Mouse Metroidvania game Disney Illusion Island, photography puzzler Viewfinder, even more concrete Switch 2 news, and a bit more besides, I'd wager. 🌏 Get Exclusive NordVPN deal here ➼ https://nordvpn.com/filthy It’s risk-free with No...

It's been a big first half of a big year so the big boys take this big opportunity to have a big look back in this big podcast. I need to buy a big thesaurus, big time. We look back at what we've played, what we'd like to play more of, what we liked, what we didn't like so much, and talk games like Resident Evil 4, Tears of the Kingdom, Dredge, Pizza Tower and literally everything that caught our...
