Episodes

Raji: An Ancient Epic w/ Gage Luke 08.06.2024

Gage Luke from the Neon Pocket Dimension provides a lot of insight to the historical references and mythology featured in Raji: An Ancient Epic. We also highlight some of the most interesting designs and beautiful set pieces seen in the game, some of the myths that it's based on, and we have a short tangent about Mirror's Edge way back on the PS3 and XBox360. Raji can be looked at as an example of...

Superliminal w/ Darryl Fuimaono 08.05.2024

Darryl (@TheTallSamoanGuy) from the Trophy Talk Podcast picked the super cool perspective puzzle game Superliminal to talk about. We go through our favorite puzzles, how much we love this unique mechanic, and how this game does a great job of giving you confidence to overcome the seemingly insurmountable task of finishing it. Fun fact: hearing how Darryl went after the challenge mode in this game...

Dead Cells w/ Jordan Vickers and Tofer Griffin 13.04.2024

Tofer and Jordan are back to talk about Dead Cells and our love/hate relationship with the rogue-like genre. We go into all of our favorite parts and random configurations that this game can take. We discuss some of our favorite weapon styles and synergies and then tell a few stories about ridiculous deaths that we should have seen coming. We also talk about what makes the DLC so great and why you...

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night w/ Jordan Vickers and Tofer Griffin 16.03.2024

Fellow Castlevania enthusiasts Jordan and Topher both join me to talk about Koji Igarashi's Kickstarter-funded game that fans had been eagerly clamoring for ever since he left Konami. It's an understatement to say that we have complex feelings about how this game turned out, but we are still very glad to have it. We go into all our favorite weapons, spells, locations, and bosses. We also go into i...

Outer Wilds w/ Steve Watkins 16.02.2024

Steve picked the Outer Wilds to play through this month and we break down what we love and sometimes hate about each planet in this micro solar system. We talk about the joy of discovering something new and being able to just share that joy with someone else. We also talk deeply about what it means to travel to new and unexpected places, even though it might be scary, and why we feel the urge to k...

Shadow of the Colossus w/ Colin Kolhoven 19.01.2024

Colin Kolhoven, the host of the Trophy Talk podcast just played Shadow of the Colossus for the first time and we dig into what makes it so much of a masterpiece, but still somewhat difficult to play. We gush about the beautiful landscape, the majestic beauty of many of the colossus, and then how you kill them. We talk all about which side of this story might actually be evil and question what our...

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy w/ Robert Fitton 22.12.2023

To close out 2023 Robert has picked for us to play Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. We go over all there is to love about the story and what's not to love about some of the action. We gush about how much we both love Drax and all of the things he just doesn't seem to understand. And there's a space llama involved.

Inscryption w/ Jordan Vickers 18.11.2023

Jordan has picked Inscryption fot the month's game and we try to unravel all of the mysteries and secrets inside the game, but of course that's impossible with just one episode. We do our best anyway and probably say "What the f---" more than enough times to drive home how weird this game gets.

MediEvil w/ Brian Everett 21.10.2023

To celebrate the Halloween season Brian has picked the 2019 remake of MediEvil. We cover everything to do with how the game has stayed very faithful to its 1998 roots and all the good and bad that comes with it. We also trade stories about how scary it was to play a PlayStation game without a memory card, momentarily reminisce about an obscure Sean Connery movie, and pitch a Pet Cemetery managemen...

The Evil Within w/ Sarah Amini 23.09.2023

This month Sarah has chosen for us to play though and make sense of Shinji Mikami's first game outside of Capcom. We break down this mind-bending mystery in spoiler-ific detail and dissect the best and worst parts of its twisted nightmare.

TMNT Shredder's Revenge w/ SluggerJD, Darryl Fuimaono, and Jordan Vickers 18.08.2023

In our first episode with four people we each pick our favorite Turtle or non-turtle character to play as in this nostalgic re-imagining of those classic Turtles arcade games from the early 90's. We share all of our favorite memories about those games and why this game is actually better then those older ones. If you're ever played a few rounds of those beat-em-up's with your friends, then this on...

Blasphemous w/ Brian Everett 22.07.2023

Brian Everett joins me to unravel the very weird, cool, and unsettling pixelated world of Blasphemous. We go into all the gory details of how the land of Cvstodia and its residents are slowly being transformed. We dissect this very obtuse story thanks to some help from the internet and then highlight some of our favorite boss fights and character encounters. Cvstodia seems to have a very warped de...

Brothers w/ Sarah Amini and Steve Watkins 18.06.2023

On this very special episode Steve Watkins and Sarah Amini call in to talk about the riveting game Brothers from the mind of Josef Fares. We talk about every step of the journey that the brothers Naia & Naiee take and what it all means to us. Note that there is a constant annoying clicking sound that I couldn't remove.

Rayman Legends w/ Robert Fitton and Jordan Vickers 20.05.2023

Jordan Vickers and Robert Fitton join me to talk about Rayman Legends, a weird, beautiful, and very funny cartoon-like platformer released in 2013. We talk about our favorite levels, music, and bosses, all while gushing about how much the game made us all laugh and smile so much.

Tetris Effect Connected w/ Jordan Vickers 15.04.2023

This time I talk with Jordan Vickers about Tetris Effect and Tetris Effect Connected. Tetris Effect first released in 2018 through Enhance Games and later received the "Connected" update which added multiplayer and other modes to this already very well-crafted version of Tetris. Fun fact: while I was editing the episode and pulling audio clips from my gameplay, I very often found myself saying "No...

Everspace w/ Matt Kennedy and Tim Garaventa 18.03.2023

This time we take a trip among the stars though randomly generated open environments in Everspace. Developed and published by Rockfish Games and first released in May, 2017, Everspace is a rogue-lite space shooter where players travel to randomly generated stages in open space and encounter a variety of enemies and hazards that can quickly end their run. In this episode we tell stories of many uni...

Maneater w/ Robert Fitton and Bert Crain 19.02.2023

This month we dive into Maneater and talk all about how fun it is to cause chaos as a shark terrorizing seaside neighborhoods while hearing Chris Parnell share ridiculous shark facts. Developed and published by Tripwire Interactive and released in May, 2020, Maneater is a fun romp where players take on the role of a shark that eats its way through a fictional town, evolves super powers along the w...

Observation w/ Robert Fitton and Sarah Amini 29.01.2023

For our very first episode we take a deep dive on Observation. Developed by No Code and published by Devolver Digital on May 21, 2020, Observation is a game about one crew member of a space station trying to survive a disaster and uncover the mystery of what happened. The first half of our show will be about the game in just a general sense and what we thought of it overall. Then the second half i...
