Boyfriend Dungeon 22.12.2021

AKA Boyfriend Dunj... For this game, we brought in our resident dating sim expert Cameron to help guide the way through this "adventure".  Do you think we should have Cameron back on? Do you think we should do a dating sim block? Let us know... or don't? I guess it is your life.

Valorant Champions (2021) 20.12.2021

Welcome to something totally different. Unlike our normal show, a game club, we decided to do a tournament rundown for the Valorant Champions Tour 2021. We've all been following Valorant as a game and as an Esport since its creation and this tournament was an incredible way to end a year of increasingly exciting esports play for Valorant. A bright future is ahead of this esports scene and I think...

Halo Infinite (Multiplayer) 08.12.2021

The boys are back in town. And I mean, what else brings the boys to said town other than... Halo multiplayer. It's back y'all. Halo is here... and it's just like old times except this time with some fresh faces too! Join Zoë, James, Rafael, Elena and Gabe as they patiently listen to McCoy talk about the/his history of the Halo series for 45 minutes. Oh and we share some cool war stories too.

Deliberations (12-01-21) 01.12.2021

So... turns out the end of the year is around the corner and McCoy is starting to not give a darn anymore. He claims this is a very easy transition for him from caring at all.

A Plague Tale: Innocence (Ep. 2) 24.11.2021

Episode 1: Play through Chapter 8 Episode 2: Play till end Please remember that there are spoilers in this podcast! Not only in literally every episode, but like, especially so in the second of two parts... of a story game...   The question we are all wondering is: "Does this game throw so hard it catches its own throw?"

A Plague Tale: Innocence (Ep. 1) 17.11.2021

Episode 1: Play through Chapter 8 Episode 2: Play till end For this week's episode, Brandon has returned from his game scouting mission with a bounty of Plague's Tale: Innocence.

Maybe a joke? Idk... probably a...

Prey (Ep. 2) 28.10.2021

We basically spend 2 hours trying to not offend those who love Prey.... but also create a kind and thoughtful way of telling them that we didn't exactly have the same experience. It could be us, man. It could be... But is it?

Prey (Ep. 1) 21.10.2021

This week we play Prey (2017)... and do that meme with the jealous girlfriend meme with the original prey... Have you seen that thing?   Future McCoy says: Thanks for putting down the notes... Also, I mixed and edited this episode at 3 am. I can't tell if it's genius or awful. You know, at the time it felt expressive and real. But now I don't know anymore. I definitely just sat there listening to...

Outer Wilds: Echoes of the Eye 13.10.2021

Pokémon Unite 18.08.2021

Iris.Fall 23.06.2021

Apparently, there is a period in the name? What is this like a hipster tech startup company? This week we play Iris. Fall.
