Whether it was a quality of life improvement, a brand new tool for your character, or completely removing the Clock Tower segment from the Resident Evil 3 remake (c'mon, Capcom...), developers have...

Welcome back! Mike left Robert all alone this week. Can you believe that? Just a silly ginger all alone in the Appalachian Wastelands, struggling to survive through all of this news about Walton Goggins' "Ghoul" coming to Fallout 76. PLUS! A whole new chunk of map in Fallout 76!? And Robert has to talk about it without anyone else?! Kinda Funny's Fallout Expert* has to talk about...

Welcome back!"All that gallivanting through the Sleeping Worlds, and yet you learned nothing."For the 3rd and final(?) time, it's OOPS! ALL KINGDOM HEARTS!!!

Welcome back! Don your tinfoil hats, board up your windows, and if you think your mailman is a spy, then DESTROY HIM!

Welcome back! It's the episode a lot of their fans have been waiting for: Rose Waltz and NeoAoshi are finally here to spoil the ever loving crap out of Death Stranding 2: On The Beach !

Welcome back! We're once again joined by Happy, a certified Battlefield Fanatic, to hear all about the ups and downs of the Battlefield 6 beta, and what he hopes the full game will have.

After the BF6 talk, we recap all of the news fr...

Welcome back! Another week, another episode themed after the episode number, THIS is episode 77 of our little podcast! Mike's been playing Phantom Liberty on stream, and Robert played Cyberpunk 2077 back when it launched, and we both have feelings about this game. We focus on how CDPR took the existing lore and world created by Mike Pondsmith back in 1988, and built upon it, while staying true...

Welcome back! Gobby's back! We played the crap out of the brand new "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4" remake, and we OBVIOUSLY had to have the "Tony Hawk Shred" speed run world record holder on to talk about it!

Welcome back! Well, THAT came out of nowhere! We had planned on having Branden on to talk about games, and (more importantly) the band he's in, Fremont Pike (a.k.a. the band whose song we stole for our intro song. Thanks, fam!), and then Rockstar just HAD to go and drop a new trailer for GTA VI! Luckily, Branden is just as big of a nerd as Mike & Robert, so we all just geeked out on this n...

Welcome back! SO. MUCH. LORE!!!
