IMPOSSIBLE COIN

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. This episode is about video games.  Please understand. 1:18 World Flipper 13:59 Tales of Symphonia / Arise 21:08 Nearing The End of UWU 27:07 How Gaming Will Change Humanity As We Know It 1:01:56 Ruling issued in Epic vs. Apple 1:07:42 Challenger loses $10k MvC2 Money Match to Justin Wong 1:16:56...

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...

Things get heated over Boyfriend Dungeon. Mastercard is evil and Epic is evil. Roblox is an evil sweatshop.

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.

Brian is flat out tired tonight and so he doesn't have it in him to write a clever description.
