Game Time With Manny

Numerous video games are getting releases and next generation console games are about to be shown. Amidst all the madness Matt and I still make time to play some video games! We chat it up and rank what Square-Enix has been up to this generation for the third part. News - 00:38 to 31:20 What We Played - 31:21 to 1:11:19 Square-Enix - 1:11:20 to 2:40:22 Specific Game Timestamps Until Dawn - 31:31 t...

Apparently Nintendo decided to update all their games, which dominates a good portion of the news. I have been playing the same games for hundreds of hours, so once again it's just Matt who has new games to talk about. For the third part we tackle the subject of Sony in our legally binding publisher rankings for the current console generation. News - 00:42 to 27:22 What We Played - 27:23 to 43:43...

Matt and I return once again to talk about the news, which is fairly scarce this week. Jason Schreier is leaving Kotaku, and Xbox has an upcoming joint announcement with Sega. What could it all mean? As for games Matt has been trying out some indie titles while I've been on the opposite end of the spectrum playing a ridiculously high budget AAA title. For the final segment we rank everyone's favor...

I initially thought this week was going to be much shorter, but thanks to Nintendo's wealth of games to talk about it ended up being just as long as every other one... We start our first weekly podcast by discussing the news of the world such as Cooking Mama being de-listed and the newest Inside Xbox showing. I didn't play anything new, and Matt had a few quick things to say about what he has been...

This week we try recording our online podcast a bit differently, so I apologize for any audio weirdness. We are also no transitioning to weekly for the duration of the pandemic, so look forward to more hot content than ever before. With a ton of new releases we have a lot to talk about before transitioning into dumping all over EA. News - 1:14 to 48:03 What We Played - 48:04 to 1:52:15 EA - 1:52:1...

Coronavirus is a very serious thing, and in an attempt to stay safe Matt and I have taken to social distancing. This sounds like a joke, but I am very serious about it. We don't want to take any unnecessary risks and get sick. Due to that fact we are recording the podcast over Discord for the foreseeable future. If there are any audio issues I apologize. We will attempt to work them out over the c...

Matt has recovered from the flu just in time for us to talk about little to no news. Luckily we have actually been playing things, which we talk about before moving on to rating Capcom's performance this generation. News - 1:28 to 18:15 What We Played - 18:16 to 1:12:55 Capcom - 1:12:56 to 2:08:19 Specific Game Time Stamps Wind Waker - 22:00 to 25:49 Final Fantasy 7 Remake Demo - 25:50 to 49:31 Po...

We discuss hot topics like Geoff Keighly ditching E3, the Animal Crossing Direct, and Anthem being reworked. Sadly neither of us have been playing a bunch, so expect a very light game section where we mostly talk about the Sonic movie. For the end we rate Bethesda's generation, but it doesn't end like you'd expect. News - 00:32 to 43:23 What We Played - 43:24 to 1:12:20 Bethesda - 1:12:21 to 2:13:...

We lead in with hot news like The Wonderful 101 Kickstarter, the 2020 EVO Lineup, and numerous industry figures changing roles! We then transition into all the games Matt has been playing. It's possible I'll only play FFXIV for the rest of my life. For part 3 we continue out look back at the current console generation by looking at Namco-Bandai. Get ready for a lot of one sided anime talk! News -...

Sony is not going to E3 again, games are getting delayed left and right, and the new Smash DLC character is a total bummer. Despite all that we talk about the games we've been playing and then take a look at what Activision Blizzard has done this generation. News - 00:38 to 41:27 What We Played - 41:28 to 1:12:59 Activision Blizzard - 1:13:00 to 2:18:36 Specific Game Time Stamps Shenmue 3 - 41:28...

For our first podcast of 2020 we break the record for longest non GOTY podcast. We do that by chatting it up about the Pokemon expansion pass and the PS5 logo. We didn't play many games, but we do talk a whole lot about the upcoming games in 2020. News - 00:54 to 49:47 What We Played - 49:48 to 1:22:02 2020 Preview - 1:22:03 to 3:07:59 Specific Game Time Stamps Bayonetta - 49:48 to 1:01:16 Castlev...

As always I am going to issue a rough audio warning. This one is better than previous years, but we're four people using a single mic. More often than not Scott and I are louder while Noukeo and Matt are quieter. Since it's all one track I can't properly adjust anything individually. Someday we'll be able to use multiple mics and it'll be magical. This is the same as every GOTY podcast. We count d...

There was absolutely no news for the past two weeks that we cared about, so we move right into talking about the four games we played before getting into our Game of the Year Categories! News - There isn't any What We Played - 4:06 to 29:05 GOTY Categories - 29:06 to 2:32:18 Specific Game Time Stamps Control - 4:06 to 11:23 Wreckfest - 11:24 to 15:16 Sayonara WIld Hearts - 15:17 to 24:41 Resident...

This week is action packed as we start off looking at Porn Hub's year in review to see what video games people were searching for the most. It's a wild ride. In terms of actual news we chat about In the Valley of the Gods being put on hold and 2Ks newest studio. The games we played goes fairly quick and then we transition into talking about The 2019 Game Awards, which also gets pretty wild. News -...

The length of the podcast this week gets away from us, but we discuss quite a bit. We begin by discussing the nominations for the 2019 Game Awards, and then transition into what we've been playing. Pokemon and Death Stranding take up a lot of time, but at least we won't really have to talk about them much now that they're done! The final portion is about Fallen Order. Matt did not like it very muc...

Two of the most highly anticipated games of the year have finally arrived. Death Stranding and Pokemon Sword/Shield. You'll never guess which one I yell more about on the podcast! To start we go over some news about PlayStation employees leaving, and Xbox Inside 2019. It leads to some conversations about what the two will be doing in the next few years. The what we've been playing segment gets hea...

I have returned from Japan so that Matt and I could bring you this hot new edition of our podcast. In it we discuss such things as my trip to Japan, Death Stranding reviews, Overwatch 2, and the possibility of Capcom bringing back dormant IPs. Since I was mostly in Japan and asleep for the past two weeks I didn't really play a lot. So for this episode mostly Matt regales us with tales of the games...

It's business as usual this week as we chat about a bunch of Sony related news and some cool Pokemon stuff. Make sure you listen to the what we've been playing to hear all about the not so great KFC visual novel and out feelings on Zelda 2... We finish off with a whole bunch of Link's Awakening talk. If you're sensitive to spoilers about the ending you can find the time stamp of when we talk about...

This week we focus a bunch on the various news stories of TGS, especially all the Death Stranding gameplay. Some other random stuff gets thrown in as well before we move on to the games we have been playing. Due to not wanting the podcast to be 3 hours long we opted not to do a third part this week. News - 00:59 to 1:16:47 What We Played - 1:16:48 to 2:24:15 Specific Game Time Stamps Borderlands 3...

As usual we talk about a plethora of news stories such as the The return of Telltale, the #MeToo movement of the video game industry, Yakuza becoming an RPG, and the World's hottest Nintendo Direct. After we talk at length about the games we've been playing we have just enough time to pull a topic from the snowman's head, so we chat a bit about Kid Icarus Uprising. News - 1:40 to 1:20:39 What We P...

After over a month we finally hit my ideal target for podcast length again. We're in the midst of a summer lull, so Matt played a bunch of random stuff and I didn't really play anything. Despite the fact that new releases haven't been popping off, Gamescom has gifted us all sorts of news, so we talk about that a bunch! News - 3:59 to 54: 39 What We Played - 54: 40 to 1:29:09 Gamescom - 1:29:10 to...

In this episode of our fine podcast we chat it up about Ninja leaving Twitch, hot Evo announcements, an ESA leak, and all the Pokemon you can handle. There is no third part, because we went way too long on the news and what we were playing. Matt played a ton, while I only played a single game. Join us on this riveting adventure as we discover the actual name of the new Wolfenstein game. News - 00:...

I found out seconds ago that I have been spelling Judgment wrong my entire life, but that's okay! In this episode as always we chat it up about the news, and the comically small amount of video games we have been playing. To top off the podcast we talk all about the plot of Judgment and spoil it in the most roundabout and convoluted fashion ever. News - 1:52 to 1:27:30 What We Played - 1:27:30 to...

This week we only discuss the hottest news, specifically big Pokemon and Gamer Girl Bath water and then transition into what we've been playing (as usual). For the third segment we've really been dropping the ball on picking topics, so Matt put a bunch of topics in a snow man's head. We will draw from that when we need a topic. For the inaugural Snowman head pick we got Street Fighter IV and we ge...
