The Casual Hour

This Week on The Casual Hour...  Bobby and Chase both hit credits in Super Mario Odyssey, so steel yourselves for some spoiler-filled discussion about the intricacies of this incredible game. Meanwhile, Bobby continues to explore Egypt in Assassin’s Creed Origins and Chase is wrapping up Monster Hunter Stories (and dips a toe into the brilliant but broken new Steven Universe game on PS4).&nbs...

This Week on The Casual Hour... Super Mario Odyssey has graced us with its presence and we’ve got opinions  (and they are extremely positive.) But just how good is it? Will it throw a  wrench into our game of the year lists? Let’s Talk! We love fan mail, send us some! thecasualhour@gmail.com   You can follow our show on Twitter at: @thecasualhour Enjoy what we have to say? Please le...

This Week on The Casual Hour...  Bobby is back from his odyssey (on the eve of a very different Odyssey), and has returned victorious over Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. He has also returned weaker, as the pull of Stardew Valley’s Switch port was too great for him to resist.  Let’s Talk!

This Week on The Casual Hour...  We’ve got more cores than an Intel processor as Johnny and Chase create the definitive (and occasionally, not so definitive) list of “core” Mario titles in anticipation for Super Mario Odyssey (and because this Ars Technica article inspired us.)

This Week on The Casual Hour...  Bobby continues to shirk his podcast responsibilities, so Chase takes over the hosting duties once again. And while the cat’s away the mice will play…JRPGs. Yes, Johnny and Chase are here to talk about their favorite genre and what makes these games so good.  Let’s Talk! We love fan mail, send us some! thecasualhour@gmail.com   You can follow our sho...

This Week on the Casual Hour...  Bobby’s back, which means the Destiny 2 talk will resume (we should really stop recording these episodes on the night of the weekly reset when the game is fresh in our minds). Bobby’s nearing the end of Mario + Rabbids, Chase is nearing the end of Dragon Quest VIII and Johnny is nearing the end of Persona 5 (well, kinda).  Let’s Talk! We love fan mail, se...

This Week on The Casual Hour...  This truly is the darkest timeline because somehow, Chase has taken the reins and is hosting this episode of the Casual Hour while Bobby attends to some other business. But with Johnny Amizich by his side, it’s the perfect time to talk about….more Destiny 2? Whoops.  Let’s Talk! We love fan mail, send us some! thecasualhour@gmail.com   You can follow...

This Week on The Casual Hour... Bobby and Chase try to rein in the Destiny 2 talk (which of course means they spend the first half hour of the show chatting about it). And speaking of games we’ve put embarrassing amounts of hours into, that’s our topic for the week: What games have you put the absolute most time into?  Let’s Talk!

This Week on The Casual Hour...  Destiny 2 has been out — looks at watch — about a week and Bobby, Johnny and Chase have put — looks at watch again, then does double take — …uh, way too much time into it. So what’s everyone think of it? Is Johnny back on the Destiny train after his checkered past with the franchise? Does it live up to Chase’s high expectations? Has Bobby gone completely nuts...

This Week on The Casual Hour...  Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle released the day we recorded, so Bobby and Chase are here to give their hottest of takes. And so far, the verdict seems…pretty good? In any case this weird Mario mashup has the guys wondering what other crazy Nintendo combinations we’d want.  Let’s Talk! We love fan mail, send us some! thecasualhour@gmail.com   You can...
