Ep. 227: South Of Midnight 03.02.2025 32:37
Hey there Cubies! We are diving into a new game that was just announced by Compulsion Games, South Of Midnight. A game set in the south showcases the rich lore and culture of the area. This tittle appears to be doing some amazing things when it comes to the story telling, art and music. But why is already being looked at under a microscope and being judged so harshly. Well there is something that...
Ep. 226: Nintendo Switch 2! 27.01.2025 44:00
Hey there Cubies! So, it is finally official, after all the rumors and the leaks the trailer for the Switch 2 has dropped and we could not be more excited. As well as curious about the whole joycon mouse rumor. Nintendo is known for taking weird gambles on their hardware, but this time around it feels a bit more conservative.

Ep. 221: We Make Christmas Games! 23.12.2024 38:30
Happy Holidays Cubies! We are back at it again with one of our favorites pass times here on GlitchCube. This week we are doing another we make a game episode. Where we find a game idea generator and expand on what is given to us to brain storm a game. How it would play, what the goals are and just how to make it fun. But this time we are throwing in an extra twist. To celebrate the holidays everyt...

Ep. 219: 30 Years Of Playstation! 09.12.2024 56:13
Hey there Cubies! This week we are celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Playstation! It is hard to believe that it has been 30 years already. From day 1 the Playstation has changed gaming and continues to do so today. We grew up with these consoles, running out day 1 to get them. They even made us fall in love with particular genres like RPGs. There have been amazing franchises that started clo...
Ep. 218: Tamagotchi, A Story Of Love 02.12.2024 53:13
Hello Cubies! This week we are sharing an episode that really means a lot to us. It was one of the episodes that gave us fuel to our flame and really made us feel that we now know what we want to do and how we are going to do it. This cute, sad story of the Tamagotchi, a small pocket pet that was all the rage for many years. It was your very own digital pet you could carry on your belt loop or han...
Ep. 217: Game Of The Year 2024 Reactions | Grandia 25.11.2024 38:39
The nominees are out and its time to start looking back at all the amazing games we have played this year. The list for GOTY is very interesting this year. With games like Balatro breaking through the ranks and Elden Ring DLC making the list there is a lot to discuss here. What really is a GOTY, what makes them a contender. Also, for something cozy at the end so chatting about an RPG classic, Gran...
Ep. 216: Dragon Quest III HD 2D Remake 18.11.2024 33:18
Once again 2024 hits hard with more RPGs than the normal person can keep up with. Nintendo has given us Dragon Quest 3 finally and Chris is on cloud 9. For those that listen to the show you know that this series holds a special place in his heart. So, when this was announced we knew this was a "have to play" game. And it has not disappointed. The cozy-ness of a classic RPG just hits different with...
Ep. 215: Metaphor Refantasio Serious Game of the Year Contender! 11.11.2024 39:08
It's should be no surprise to our listeners that RPGs are our thing. But Metaphor has completely blown us away on all levels. From the rich story to the deep mechanics and job like system it has captured our attention. Instead of flooding our feed with more Metaphor we decided to do a full spoiler free episode for you all. ------------------ Hosts: Christian & Chris Don't forget to leave us a...
Ep. 214: Free To Play Games | Pokemon TCG 04.11.2024 31:41
The evolution of free to play games has changed drastically over the years. From gotcha games, to live service there are different styles out there that try to tap into our lizard brain and keep us playing or buying any random cosmetic that gets dropped. But there are some titles out there that tend to rub the fan base the wrong way, like server wipes every season with Once Human. ----------------...
Ep. 213: Silent Hill 2 | Mouthwashing | Stories Untold 28.10.2024 31:03
Happy Halloween! It's the spooky season and we have some great games for you. The genre of horror is so vast and really has something for everyone. With so many remakes out there it just makes sense that a classic like Silent Hill 2 sees a new audience. Or dive into delivery madness with Mouthwashing. Or are you looking for a real vibe? Why not try out the atmospheric horror of Stories Untold. ---...
Ep. 212: Manor Lords, Flowstone Saga & More Metaphor! 21.10.2024 42:58
Chris chats about a new city builder with Manor Lords. Ever wanted to start your medieval city? Well now you can with this one. Flowstone Saga shows a new mash up to make some very interesting combat systems using tetris to fight in this new rpg. And Metaphor feels like a game we will be talking about for quite some time because there is just so much to love about this one. To tie it all up we hav...
Ep. 211: ReCast - Our Favorite Horror Games! 14.10.2024 54:21
Hello Cubies! This is a blast from our past here with an episode to do spooky month proud. Way back in 2022 we released an episode of our favorite horror games and what made them special to us. So, with Christian out of the country we figured what better time then now to revisit this idea and what better time then a few weeks before Halloween! ------------------ Hosts: Christian & Chris Don't...
Ep. 210: The Metaphor: ReFantazio DEMO Is Something Else! 07.10.2024 41:27
Feels like a broken record at this point but this has been a great year for games. And Atlus did something amazing, they released another demo (like Unicorn Overlord) that allows you to play a good chunk of the game. Just have to say that the demo does not disappoint, but rather really drives the point home that we will be diving head first into this one. Christian also has played a lot more of Bl...
Ep. 209: Zelda Echoes Of Wisdom | Bloomtown A Different Story 30.09.2024 34:40
Some big hitters this week! We are digging through the back log a little bit here with Christian playing through the Mass Effect series for the first time ever. Exploring the vast worlds and rich story with fresh eyes is really fascinating. Then we travel back to current times with the Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom. Finally we are able to play as Zelda with a very interesting mechanic to expl...
Ep. 208: Vacation In Games! Best Beach and Dungeons Of Hinterburg! 23.09.2024 38:10
Chris beat Astro Bot and we speculate on whats next for that franchise. Maybe a Kingdom Hearts inspired Sony-verse? And Dungeons Of Hinterburg asks the question of what wouldn't you do on a vacation. Magical portals open so why not plan a trip to fight monsters to decompress from your day to day life. But what beaches in games would you actually want to visit for a weekend getaway? ---------------...
Ep. 207: Astro Bot! The Nostalgia Generator! 16.09.2024 30:01
Hello all! Before we get into Astro Bot Christian has a little chip on his shoulder that needed discussion. It is becoming much more common in games and media now but too many titles have little to no pay off at the end. You finish a story and instead of enjoying a twist, or witnessing a huge epic event, or just a good payoff the ending is spoiled half way through and nothing exciting happens. Its...
Ep. 206: Adding Appeal To "Boring" Jobs! Archeology! 09.09.2024 33:00
Hey there! Throughout media certain jobs have been made to look more appealing then they actually are. There is more drama and gun fights thrown in to add to the mystery of what the job actually entails. Whether is Indiana Jones surviving a nuclear blast in a fridge, or fighting a giant Trex in a cave like Tomb Raider the job has a lot of added flourish. But is this a bad thing? Is this just escap...
Ep. 205: inZOI Life In A Simulation 02.09.2024 40:48
We open hot this episode with some super great tech issues with Game Pass. But dive head first into the world of simulation games with inZOI. If you have not seen this game it looks insane! The character creator alone is so realistic its slightly uncomfortable. While Christian was never one to get into these types of games, Chris helps him better understand the appeal of these fictional worlds. ...
Ep. 204: Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora & Tales Of Arise! 26.08.2024 48:02
Coop is coming back in a hard way for us here at GlitchCube. Chris who is not a Avatar fan boy has been playing the game with a buddy, and only playing it coop and enjoying the game itself. With that there is also Remnant 2 to explore. While Christian continues down his path of long RPGs with Tales Of Arise next. So much to play and so little time. ------------------ Hosts: Christian & Chris...
Ep. 203: Eiyuden & Pikmin 4 Big Finish! 19.08.2024 35:37
Hello again! We took a week off last week for good reason! Our Glitch family has grown. We welcome Chris's new babies into the world! With such a large life event we somehow managed to still find time for games. Christian finished Eiyuden Chronicles, a fun game but slightly lacking in something. And Chris finished up Pikmin 4, a solid gaming experience. Fun puzzles and great visuals. So sit back,...
