IMPOSSIBLE COIN

God damn it Tegan. You are testing us. Find out what ridiculous conclusion Tegan drew about Windjammers. (The thumbnail probably spoiled it.) Fortnite happened again. Seriously, why is there always Fortnite? Amazon Prime members get the short end of the $120 stick and Nintendo uses a UK Nindie showcase to provide scintillating details on games for Switch that are not Smash. Tegan details her Canad...

Guys, I gotta break it to you. This week's video game news is bad. We got lawsuits, legal bottlenecks and police violence. Really. That's the video game news. At Steam is still an unmitigated disaster. Friend of the show Big Sach (aka the d00d wat made our music) stops by and hangs out. We discuss how much Steam sucks, Hearthstone meme decks, the best Persona, Dead Cells and wrestling. A whole lot...

Brian details a personal recent travail. The team discusses Real ID minimum standards and the reality of border crossings. Tegan was in the room where it happens. Rocky kills community leaders on loan from other communities. Brian tears Tegan's soul from her body with his hottest take on the Zelda timeline. Also 957 new characters were announced for Smash Ultimate. Enjoy doing battle with Power Gl...

So basically fuck Elon Musk. The crew takes the time to dunk on Elon Musk because of his weird relationship with Atari. And because he sucks. EA is Schroedinger's awful company this week as Rocky and Brian take different sides of the debate on whether they did something intentionally terrible. The NES Classic is really popular and seven-year-old kids have unfettered access to Steam. Grab your Blob...

The crew discusses chill Bulgarian arrests, the worst enemy in DOTA, and enormously prodigious grapefruit. This is, of course, a videogame podcast. So come on down to Bomba Tacos and Rum in Akron! Try the Jamaican Jerk Tacos before you head out to Taco Towers. Also FORTNITE FORTNITE FORTNITE NINTENDO NINTENDO NINTENDO. Are you happy now SEO robot?

Rocky lets us know what the scoop is with current Mario Tennis Aces meta. The matters octo are discussed, both -ling and -path Traveler. Arcanine cults have sprung up in Oregon and Rocky goes sailing with Captain Morgan. Hey everybody, it must be VIDEO GAMES.

The gang might have some concerns about the volume of weekly Nindies but hope for the best. Rocky gives us the straight scoop on Fortnite. Valve cracks down the faintest sliver of transparency. Overwatch is coming to the network owned by Mickey Mouse and Hearthstone is making moves.  Nakamura-sempai notice me!

This one has it all. We talk World Cup, Griffith Observatory wedding action, glorious Vulpixes (Vulpi? I don't know), video game companies caving to terrible GamerGaters, the right to be forgotten, Twitter awfulness, Ken Bone and the impending race war. YOU SHOULD BOYCOTT THE RACE WAR. We also fit in a little hipster wrestling, Fortnite, Sony being awful and the usual garbage raft of trash from St...

Rocky is out of action so Tegan and Brian call in the big guns, frequent co-host Joe Spiro! Topics include stuff like secret EA lay-offs, Tencent suing itself, the gameness of Duolingo, where to source 12 ounces of semen, Hammond the Tumblr hamster, Shawn Layden's missing neck and Mario Lopez kissing Santa Claus. This is a video game podcast.

Look, no matter whether you liked Nintendo's presentation or not you knew this was going to get heated. It had to. This is a podcast and since we don't cover 30-year-old unsolved murders we have to find our drama SOMEWHERE. Resultingly, we explore that loyalty test. Except it's not a loyalty test. IT'S SO CONFUSING. This episode also contains Kingdom Hearts, samurai murder time and brisket nachos.

Holy Crap! It's a second episode of Impossible Coin in the course of a week! It must be E3 week! All the pageantry and splendor of a convention in LA crammed into a bonus podcast. Likely, it's a tired Rocky and Brian talking Bethesda and Devolver but please believe that pageantry and splendor bit. And eat all that cheese.

E3 is here! In reality, if you are the kind of person who listens to this show you likely already followed all the press conferences and ensuing announcements closely but you are hear because you want to hear THESE PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THEM. And they do! Tegan, Rocky and Brian have feelings about EA, Microsoft and some of the smaller "Pre 3" announcements. Phil Spencer bought everything and 100 Febru...

There is a crisp, warm wind blowing and that must mean that the E3 leaks are in full effect. Brian and Rocky try to pick up the broken pieces and sort through Pokemon, Fallout and Assassin' Creed. They also are horrified at what Steam has on offer. Weirdly, Atari and Intellivision seem to exist and Brian watched wrestling. If we had just had more anime this might have been a video gaming podcast.

Rocky has played the most games and isn't afraid to lord it over people. Tegan continues preparation for getting wrecked in the hot tub. The team dunks on Apple for fearing the Steam app. A N64 Mini is discussed and the team definitely "crouches down to jump higher".

Tegan beats arounds the bush about what she is going to do at con. (Spoiler, she's gonna get wasted.) The whole gang gets embroiled in a conversation about titties both anime and otherwise. Hearthstone gets cancelled. Rocky delivers the bad news about some game delays. The team briefly mourns the Vita and Boss Key Studios. Microsoft delivers a big win for accessibility and Tegan remembers one thin...

Tegan explores her trauma for all our benefit. Tegan spends an unseemly amount of money on Digiman Tricycle merchandise. Rocky played Fortnite. (So basically Rocky is closer to normal than Tegan or Brian since most people play Fortnite now.) Brian educates the team on a notable Japanese film star and cosplayer with a penchant for high stakes Yoshi cosplays. Canadian Wal-Mart shit the bed and Squar...

For an E3 predictions episode we sure do spend a lot of time on how well Yoshi does with the ladies. (Spoilers Yoshi is knee-deep y'all.) Rocky and Tegan hold misguided opinions about Super Mario Sunshine. We spend too much time talking about EA (again). Much E3 speculation is had with particular focus on Ubisoft, Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft.

Tegan spins a web of lies regarding a new "healthy" orange food and encourages pizza CEOs to follow their dreams. Rocky is upset with his Steam trash. Brian possibly got someone fired and is vexed by a planet full of irritating knock-off Brians. The team talk about God of War being a super good game. They also talk about an erotic match 3 puzzler being super good too. Really. Rocky might be spendi...

Gaming journalist, novelist and meme enthusiast Nadia Oxford drops by to talk USGamer, 1up.com, Youtube, Japanese games and unionization with Brian and Rocky. A wide variety of new cats grade mail and handheld gaming is properly venerated.

Rocky has changed jobs and passionate about Mega Man eating sausage. Rocky has not played his Steam trash. Tegan continues reporting from the front lines of Overwatch dumbness. The team roasts Billy Mitchell for being Billy Mitchell. One more opportunity is found to dunk on Lawbreakers. Steam is especially bad this week.

Brian has questions about the coffee pot and the robbers. Tegan and Brian are not enjoying Far Cry 5. It's a bad video game. You can't add Far Cry to Far Cry to fix Far Cry. Rocky is gathering spring tickets in Monster Hunter World. Some folks might have been negligent with their Steam trash. There is talk about some hawt rumorz ™.

Brian was out sick with the exhaustion. (Spoiler: he is still super tired.) Rocky and Tegan take this opportunity to discuss anime in larger quantities. (Please understand.) Rocky also talks about the Monster Hunter. (Please understand.) Tegan riffs on A Way Out and being double undercover. Rocky waxes hopeful about Unity snuggling with cryptocurrency. The game will be changes.

Rocky surprises Tegan and Brian with corporate virality. Tegan comes to terms with spending money on in-game purchases in free to play stuff. Rocky finishes Celeste, Tegan comes around on Fe and Brian is confused by the visual chaos of Kirby Star Allies. Nindies are discussed and Ubisoft assures their own freedom.
