Game Time With Manny

Stadia is shutting down, a new Pokémon called Wiglett with the ability gooey was announced, and Vampire Survivors 1.0 update comes out October 20th! Once we've had our fill of the news we move over to what we've been playing and it's intense as always. I beat Splatoon 3 AND Trombone Champ, and Matt stared playing the Saints Row reboot. News - 5:35 to 25:06 What We Played - 25:07 to 55:23 Specific...

Can you believe I forgot to upload this last Friday, which is the second time in a row I had forgotten? Well, it's true. We were off schedule and apparently it really fucked my sense of time up. Anyways, this was last Wednesday so I barely remember it. We talk about the GTA 6 leak and some other stuff?

You may have been asking yourself why there wasn't a podcast uploaded on the 16th and the answer is that I'm an idiot! We recorded it and I totally forgot to upload it! Today is a Wednesday and I came home to record a new episode early. So now thanks to that you get not one, but TWO episodes in a week. I'll upload the old one today and the new one on Friday. What might this out of date episode hav...

The podcast returns after a one week hiatus! We're just in time to give you the latest Pokémon news and let you know what Disney announced at the D23 showcase! We forgo a part three because it's Matt's Girlfriends birthday. However, before that listen to me talk even more about Xenoblade Chronicles 3 and a little bit of the new JoJo's game. Matt played Nobody Saves the World and it sounds pretty d...

Recently I always find some excuse not to do the timestamps and today it's because I'm almost falling asleep as I type this. The podcast however, was mildly exciting! Gamescom is happening and Geoff Keighly announced some stuff that was okay? Also the PS5 is getting a price increase in almost every territory. As for the games we've been playing I've been continuing to chip away at Xenoblade Chroni...

We return from our 200th episode refreshed and ready to podcast. With two weeks of news we go over EVO, some delays, and all the shit Embracer Group is buying. Matt finished Triangle Strategy, so that allows us to talk about how sick Bayonetta 2 is. Also, I played 50 more hours of Xenoblade Chronicles 3. To finish we chat about the games that are going to be coming out this Fall. News - 8:09 to 47...

This week for our 200th episode special Matt and I create a legally binding list of the top 100 games of all time. It took way less time than either of us thought it would. I will post a link to a google doc here with the reverse order (100-1) if you want to witness the glory for yourself. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xR8SZUIonh4zu6j1pAxlCRgicBxH-gl5oF9nBTjWuE4/edit?usp=sharing

Matt had something to do, so surprisingly he couldn't debate the top 100 games of all time for 5 hours or more. We decided to do a normal episode with just parts 1 and 2. However, special guest Noukeo joins us. For the news we mainly just talk about the Pokemon Presents and EVO and then transition to what we've been playing. Matt regales us with tales of his exploits and Noukeo let's us know about...

Next week we hit a huge milestone with our 200th episode, so we decide to again forgo a part 3 because next week will be a wildly long episode. For the news we hit on all the sweet Bloomberg reporting, the Black Panther game in development, Mario Kart DLC, and some Sony profit loss. To finish we discuss such hot gaming exploits as Lego Star Wars, Triangle Strategy, Stray, and Ultimate Chicken Hors...

This week I was recording away from home and forgot to transfer the theme song project files to my laptop. So sadly no theme song or part 3 this week, but we still manage to talk about some news and a lot of video games we played.

News - 3:33 to 41:54 What We Played - 41:55 to 50:16...

Matt and I start by discussing possible work week alternatives before diving into news of the return of E3's mangled corpse and a new Hitman 3 map!

To finish we pull from old Frosty and end up getting the absolute classic Sleeping Dogs. News - 7:10 to 36:52 What We Played - 36:53...

Matt had a rough week, so we cheer him up with all the hottest news from the Nintendo Direct Mini, and let him know that Crayon Shin-Chan's cool Switch game is being localized! Matt has continued to play Devil May Cry and is still way into Tiny Tina's Wonderland. I on the other hand have been continuing to play Neon White and just started Sunbreak! To finish we pull from Frosty and talk about a sm...

In the wake of NotE3 the news is essentially dead. However, there's always time to dunk on Activision-Blizzard for their horrendous decisions and find out who won't be showing anything at Gamescom (almost everyone). Matt is getting way into the original Devil May Cry, while I started becoming a freak by playing Neon White. To finish we make the most offensive list of the top ten games with Mario i...

The announcements of the non-E3 season rage on with showcases from Microsoft, Capcom, and Final Fantasy 7. A lot of cool games were announced and we talk about a good chunk of them. It seems like the announcements are slowing down now, but there still may be a Nintendo Direct to come. We forgo a part 3 again due to the abundance of news, but for our second part we talk about a bunch of games we pl...

This is the last week I'm watching my mom's dogs, so that means it's the final week with no timestamps for the time being. Not E3, or Keigh3 as some have dubbed it is in full swing. We talk about the myriad announces and upcoming showcases. News came out other than that like how Nintendo has a sequel to 1-2 switch ready to rip. Join us as we discuss all this and more!

I always feel the need to apologize for not doing time stamps, but here we are. I'm not at home and I just want to get this up quick. We jump right into not E3 with a bunch of news about Street Fighter 6, Final Fantasy XVI, and Pokémon Scarlet/Violet. I actually played some games, so we talk about what we played for a while longer than the previous few episodes. To finish Matt reads Amazon reviews...

We recorded earlier in the week because I have things going on this weekend, so there will be no timestamps. However, feel free to listen to us talk about the several release date announcements in the news. I played some more Rogue Legacy 2 and Matt started in on Assassin's Creed 3, To finish we do a bracket of the worst game we played during Party Game Sundays. Don't know what that is? You'll hav...

Playstation announced the classic games coming to the upper PlayStation Plus tiers, and not E3 sure is getting a lot of streams.

I have a cold this week, and we went a few days without power. Despite that video game news came out just for me. Several games I'm excited about got release dates and Sega is starting to chase that Fornite money! We mostly just played the same stuff as last week, due to the no power for a few days thing. To finish we do the top ten Star Wars list that we said we were going to do last week! If you...

Kingdom Hearts 4 was announced and we sure do talk about it! Other than that the news continues to be slight, but I think KH4 is a pretty big deal. I beat Kirby, and started Lego Star Wars while Matt for some reason started playing the 2010ish Prince of Persia game. To finish we change from our original plans of ranking all the Star Wars games to talk about the hit film Sonic 2. News - 2:53 to 27:...

The news is so slight that Matt and I talk about cats and sticker shops.
