IMPOSSIBLE COIN

We recorded this so long ago that I got bummed out that nobody had gotten back to me about folk horror but then I realized this wasn't out yet so go me. Or FML. I guess it depends on perspective. Also we talk Wordle. Tegan just wants the answers.

Rocky, Tegan and Brian return from Game of the Year deliberations to the cold, unflinching embrace of reality. This is a podcast about video games.

Rocky, Tegan and Brian sit down and determine what ten games are most emblematic of Impossible Coin in 2021. Listen in as we pick this year's favorites.

If you were wondering if Tegan would literally put a series of question marks as one of her top five games this year then wonder no more. She did.

We continue to dig through our list of games that meant something to us this year. Most of these games are here because they were special. A few of them should be ashamed of themselves.

We talk about some games that meant something to us over the course of 2021 and we find out that no game meant anything to Tegan this year and we explore her existential crisis.

Game of the year is upon us so Impossible Coin kicks off with a look back at the industry over the last year. Excuse us while we cry in a corner over Bobby Kotick's continued employment.

So Activision Blizzard continues to implode as we find out more about Bobby Kotick. The Mountain Dew Doritos Awards are dumb. Tommy Tallarico is at it again.

This is the time that the Buck Bumble theme almost broke the show.

Tegan, Brian and Baron Bob Tepes are here. Rocky is not. Activision did a thing and we should have appealed to Virginia residents to vote. Video games are real. Anime is real.

Rocky tries out a new segment called "Rant Time". Epic Games is unapologetically awful. CDPR consumes a studio and swears they won't bring their practices there.

Join Baron Bob Tepes as he provides cold, cold takes. The Great Pinewood Derby Crisis of 2021 happens and about two hours in you'll find out exactly what Brian would ask Steven Tyler to do if he had a time machine. Please remember the horse medicine goes in the controller.

It's time for video games on the video game podcast show! Rocky and Tegan talk about video games that they have been playing, video games that they like and news about VIDEO GAMES! Maybe those games are Minecraft, Fortnite, Friday Night Funkin' or Undertale! Let's find out together!

Honestly, these just come out on Thursday now. The team discusses Activision-Blizzard and has very real, serious feelings about Chris Pratt.

It feels fitting that the episode is called "Are you proud of what you've done?" when I am getting it up this late. If we are your primary source of video game news please understand Brian has been incredibly busy at work this week. For your trouble we've sold him to One Direction.

If Impossible Coin had a special or watchalong in the can you would have gotten that instead of this.

Tegan is out of office so Brian finally gets to talk about 12 Minutes. He has feelings. So does Big Sach. Sach tells us about the hurricane. (That is not an opossum Brian.) Sach tells us about nature's second most critical threat as well, club DJs. In addition to video games there is some AEW talk. All hail Queen Britt.

Kesha is unassailable and we hope she is forever free of Dr. Luke. Rocky, Tegan and Brian must build a catamaran and sail to New Zealand. Once there they will build a boat out of knives. Brian baits Rocky and Brian is proud of baiting him. Joe breaks Brian with a question and the gang spend like and hour talking about his question. 4:20 The Ballad of Tommy Tallarico 8:46 New Saint's Row on the way...

The episode should have been called "Natalia Will Read You Your Rights" or "The Zeppole Man Is Dead" but I'm slow on the draw and don't type enough when I am podcasting.
