IMPOSSIBLE COIN

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.

What came out on Steam today finally jumps the shark in a very real way, we add a new provocative Patreon tier, Phil Spencer doesn't compete with Italian plumbers and Rockstar is playing Highlander with C suite executive founders.

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.

The conclave has gathered and there is white smoke. Impossible Coin names 2019's dumbest, evilest and most disappointing. Don't worry, there will be a magic show. (Not the juicy kind.) These are video games.

The bloodletting begins and the knives are out. Friends, it is time that we endanger our real and vibrant friendships over something so trivial as who is the best Fire Emblem person.

Hark! the herald Now Beat blogs, "Glory to the new-born Queen! Peace on earth, and Simon mild, Aldovia and Penglia reconciled." Joyful, Aldovians, rise, Evil butler in disguise; With th' angelic host proclaim, "Why's this queen got blogger fame?" Hark! the herald Now Beat blogs, "Glory to the new-born Queen!

I think you have to go back to 2017 to find an episode of this show this bad. You hate to see it. Anyway, mistakes were made, Ls were held and somehow the person who got it together and rose above criticism was Geoff Keighley? 

This is really the one that broke Tegan. I don't know whether it is every resident of Aldovia being a certified idiot or the swapping of the main character's father for a weird stranger who is definitely walking here but this sequel is watchalong that is much better/worse than the first. Our special holiday #content continues.

Gather round! Tis the season of Yule or the Yule season! Rocky, Tegan and Brian celebrate not by working on their backlogs for GOTY but by watching festive holiday classix! If Genovia was too classy for you journey inside a hollow acorn for this story that teaches crack reporters are stupid and friends are best contacted on Skype.

Elon Musk was an idiot. Big surprise. Randy Pitchford was an idiot. Big surprise. Stadia is a trash fire. Big surprise. The naming conventions of both Half Life and Debbie Does Dallas are examined. Bluff City Law offends Brian. Rocky wants to do a nightmarish boss fight. These are video games.

Stadia is actually on fire. Microsoft kicked off their annual Xbox fan convention. The Apple TV had video games and Brian played them. Rocky won't stop messing with Brian over ardently religious corporate fandoms. Come with us to the sketchy Pokestops that shouldn't have been approved!

Brian here. I haven't listened to this episode yet and I wasn't there. Pretty sure that means I now have the all-time worst attendance record, dethroning Tegan. I like to assume this episode title is very specifically targeted to me and my endless pillows. Don't judge me. VIDEO GAMES.

Rocky, Tegan and Brian sit down with the newest cast member of the show, Champagne Fresca. Tegan rejects Fresca and his teachings as heresy. The gang talks Deadspin and its implications for Kotaku, a cool initiative by Ninja Theory and Rocky's personal campaign to not do a thing. Join us as we explore Tegan's two good ideas!

Rocky and Tegan stay tragically on task and mostly talk about video games as Brian's life spirals out of control because he can't get his sleep under control. Call of Duty is a mess, Bethesda does it again and Pikachu wears money pants. Also, for some reason, Tegan hates spooky things which is a perspective but not a good one.

Tegan brings up to speed on Riot's plan for global domination. The left and the right join forces to hate Blizzard. Brian is happy with a recent Analogue announcement. Rocky makes a shocking revelation which will change Impossible Coin FOREVAR. These are video games.

Tegan and Brian have a reckoning with time guzzling addictions. Brian apologizes to the listenership and Tegan. The lads consume hot fall TV. Blizzard drops the ball big time. Riot then drops the ball big time. Sony tells us about their future and Google tries to convince us they are the future. HEY THAT'S A UKULELE.

Tegan is back in prison. (Again.) We got got for something dumb. COMING FOR YOU SAISO. Two bad men who used to be friends settled their bad man fight. (It's the Randy Pitchford update.) Internal knife fights must be wild at Sony. Sounds like Jim Ryan has the better shiv crafted from a sharpened PS4. Ever go to a wrong bookstore?

This is a new episode of Impossible Coin. It is a podcast about video games. You can tell from this description that Brian is definitely in this episode and has full awareness of what was discussed. Or if he wasn't he has listened to the episode and knows what it is about. Featuring 100% less public domain music.

Look, this episode is a full day late because Brian was working until 1AM on Wednesday. Also, he called an audible on the title of this episode because there was not an abundance of visuals that communicated "That's Just Paperwork" in a funny way. Please listen to this podcast about video games.

Rocky and Brian hold the fort while Tegan is out of office. KFC is a cynical, capitalist enterprise and their dating game is stupid (or that is what Brian would have you believe). The new MHW expansion is fun and offers a lot of things hunters have been craving (or this is what Rocky would have you believe. Check out the dark side of Kind Words, the dumb side of Monopoly and get thirsty for a drag...

Live from Doritos, Arizona comes this window into the emotional collapse of one of your hosts! Just kidding, Brian played multiple video games this week so he is fine! Slay the Spire is good. Gears 5 is buggy. Anna Kendrick agendas are alleged. Terry Bogard wants to be the best.

CW: Sexual Assault, Suicide Sorry guys. It can't all be fun and games. (Even though our primary focus is just that.) The news from video games has been super tough in the last week and we steer into the storm. Hopefully, we did some good in breaking down the events of the last week. There is other, more fun, stuff in here too. And Steam. Always Steam.
