IMPOSSIBLE COIN

The gang covers two quasi E3 press-direct thingys. Brian hates wrestling. Brian loves wrestling. Wrestling hates everyone. The Bug-Off is the over the clothes dry humping everybody wants before diving and pirate Gulliver arrive. Bruh, check out our Soundcloud.

The gang watches the EA not E3 presentation. Rocky and Tegan tell Brian is opening himself to hope and that leads to betrayal. Rocky and Brian determine 2016's Game of the Year.

The gang watches the PS5 reveal stream. Results are mixed to positive but what's important is that we all found something to be offended by and its the Randy Pitchfords we met along the way.

Brian discovers that video games are form of art that existed before and since Animal Crossing: New Horizons and plays some other ones. Rocky joins him in celebration of this knowledge. Tegan refuses to believe.

Even though friend of the show Joe Spiro is the same age as Tegan Summerset his is an old soul. Joe takes time out of watching Hunter X Hunter for The Spirit Hunters to stop by and ruin Brian's life. Animal Crossing still exists.

OK look, Brian thought today was yesterday. The 3 day weekend and the nature of timekeeping in a pandemic finally got to him. He realized it was Wednesday once he realized he had watched wrestling. I'm glad you're fancy. Never made a mistake. Are you made of magic?

Impossible Coin's kid brother, Big Sach, reports live from the epicenter of the Rona. Animal Crossing continues to conquer our hearts. Brian miraculously remembers that Tony Hawk exists.

The Third Tradition: Destruction- If this is your first night at Vampire you have to fight.

Quarantine continues and while your loyal hosts continue to hide from the COVID-19 they also have played a metric ton of Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It dominates conversation. There's also talk of weird dreamscapes and Patrick Rehobeth must be stopped.

Believe or not, despite spending some time decimating some Privilege of Karens in Idaho this episode is mostly about Animal Crossing New Horizons. Tegan throws shade on Brian's basement-free lifestyle. 

Brian is at his absolute limit with the Animal Crossing yuppies. Rocky messes with the new Guilty Gear beta. Cooking Mama and Valorant are messy and Brian wants to know why won't you just plant some god damn pears.

Rocky, Tegan and Brian sit down with professional wrestler/educator/Twitch streamer Addy Starr to talk about the challenges and opportunities for distance learning in the age of pandemic, the differences between Twitch's and Patreon's communities, what her own history and emotional relationship with video games looks like and just a dash of stanning for, the god, Nick Gage.   Resources mentioned b...

It's RonaWatch 2K20 and we are here to demand rapid and simple action that will help save abuelas. (Wash your damn hands.) Brian tries out 1.5 new characters, Punch Goalpost and Charge Majones. We are all digging into Animal Crossing and tornadoes are clearly vampires.

Rocky and Tegan sit down with Skymill Studios to talk about their monster battling RPG, development and Kickstarter! Social distancing was maintained during this interview.

World ends. Gamestop is High Priest of the death cult that is capitalism. Brian cries. Praise the Medicine Paladins. Animal Crossing is the last good thing in this world.

Look, we're speedrunning Plague Inc here. Brian and Rocky discuss turtleneck multstreaming. Rocky explains how a piece of dystopian science fiction by a suicidal young adult writer got him to wear a crewneck. E3 is CANCELLED. Nintendo has intense object detection algorithms. Please stop wearing ahegao t-shirts.

Rocky and Tegan were curious what I would put here since I wasn't on. Well, so was I. I wish had been on. I wish I had been on to tell you to wash your hands. I wish I had been on to tell you to avoid contact if not for you for the elderly, immunocompromised or obese people in your life. I wish I had been on to tell you this is real and there has been nothing like this in our lives. Protect the on...

This is a thing that an actual C level executive said. Really. We're not making a joke. These are real words. Please join us as we continue to witness the final burning of the world through the prism of video games.

First of all, Ghostborders. Second of all, we haven't had an episode this late in a while. We hope that this didn't result in us coming home to you throwing our metaphorical possessions all over the metaphorical front lawn. We have no idea how good Tegan would be at standing on the lawn saying "Baby, I'm sorry." We'll be on time next week. Video games!

So there are a million Brians and one of them must apparently order a LOT of pizza in Dubai. Your Brian actually played a video game. Sonic made a ton of rings or money if you will. Nintendo asks people to be offended on their behalf because someone interfered with their marketing strategy.

The team assembles and orders a list of 2019's top ten best games. The team is, in retrospect quite proud of the list.

Picture Mr. Worldwide and Christina Aguilera singing about feeling this moment on a beach at sunset whilst whales and shit breach the surface of the sea in the background. Now make it three nerds arguing for three hours about which video game moment is most emotionally resonant. THIS. IS. BEST. MOMENT. WE IN THIS. Top 20: 1:40 Top 9: 1:59 Top 5: 1:59

The gang decides what old game loves them most, what game serviced them the bestest, which game had the best story and Brian frustrates Rocky with his contention that something that is not a game was the best surprise.
