We Were Gamers

We Discuss: Tim Roger's Action Button's "Review" of Cyberpunk 2077, Dragon Lance Time Travel, EMAILS, and Component Class last week has led to Component Buying this week (with more to come).

Spurred on by some recent "acquisitions" through a truly legitimate retailer, the building bug has struck us all. And, the intel releases coming this month... tomorrow in fact... are also a hot topic. Come for the rundown on RAM CL Drama and stay for the hottest PCI-E takes. Who's targeting what on the PC Part Picker lists?

Oh, Mylanta! What a film. What a way to end a franchise. What did we actually experience? Our thoughts on the end of the Evangelion Rebuild films and the ride we've taken over the last few years.

I seriously don’t know what to type here. JJ, Michael and Andy discuss Evangelion 3.33 You Can (Not) Redo. A film so defying of description maybe even it is an Angel?

Andy and Michael compare notes on what travel is like during these times. Star Wars: Visions gets its final nod. What If? we talked about What If? And, A Tale of Crows disappoints, harshly. Don't count out Luigi though.

Andy, Kit and Ken liked the Bad Batch. But do we like it more than Toy Talk? Listen and find out!

Michael and JJ rank the Star Wars Visions episodes after talking about some video games with cards in them, Nintendo Direct news, and more.

Andy, JJ and Michael finish their "deep thoughts" on Evangelion 2.22 and where we could go next. Andy tried Dark Crystal Tactics & Halo Infinite. Michael has jumped into a classic: Kingdoms of Amalur. And, JJ just can't get over the Mario Movie.

JJ and Andy watch a host of new trailers that dropped on Star Trek Day for the 55th Anniversary Celebration. And, Lower Decks has returned!

Yes, we got back back in the robot and explore the second part of the Rebuild of Evangelion - Evangelion 2.22: You Can (Not) Advance. It's WILD. So much so that we ran out of time to discuss it all. Also: Warzone and Mortal Kombat, as promised.

Shinji, get back in the robot. We develop a whole new thesis about what could be the Cruel Angel's Thesis. Yes, we did it. We have taken the LCL plunge and returned to Tokyo-III. The Rebuild of Evangelion watching has begun as we discuss Evangelion 1.11: You Are (Not) Alone - a familiar ride, with a lot of new twists.

The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf. Also, Mechwarrior, Fantasy Football, and Monster Train.

A tough but fair talk-through of rewatching Star Trek's 2009 "reboot" after a decade.

Can I interest you in a discussion about phone plans? No? How about what to stream instead? Yep, more Netflix and HBO shows we're thinking about watching. On to games though, last week was the 30th, yes 30th, anniversary of the SNES - so we had to feel old and nostalgic for a bit. Games: Monster Train & Doom 2016!

There were so many games in our past week, we had to do a Lightning Round: Evo Explores, Mekorama, What the Golf, & Farm Simulator 19. Plus, Michael regained his Greak Memories of Azur. JJ gets back into an old Yakuza habit with the newest game. And, Andy waxes on too long about Monster Train and Slay the Spire.

The new Masters of the Universe sequel cartoon prompted a long pod about TOYS. Andy got some of the new MotU Revelation line, Kit has been keen on the MotU Origins line, and Ken gives us a MotU toy history lesson. Plus, someone reveals deep feelings for Teela and Orko finally gets his due. Lawsuits prompt us to forget Bad Batch and instead discuss the state of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And, a...

This week: Masters of the Universe Revelation (spoilers), EA customer service, tech problems, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Celeste.

How to free up 150 gigs in an instant; no, not uninstalling Warzone... Michael makes an MLB moment. JJ gets into the GAS and tries more Fallen Order. Plus, an in-depth look at Game Pass for PC.

Blaseball's world has collapsed, maybe in on itself. JJ gives us the rundown. Plus: What the Golf? (not really golf), Trails of Cold Steel 4, Breath of the Wild, and Jedi Fallen Order all graced our gaming screens this week. And, in hardware we debate The Elite 2.0 controller and the Playdate handheld.

We maybe went a little bit stream happy and watched a lot of shows, old and new: The Expanse, Masters of the Universe, and Castlevania. Andy tried Bomberman Online so you don't have to. And, what's the new tricks in Chapter 4 of Celeste.

There's no shortage (pun) of news this week, especially when it comes to wings and cars. Also, we talk about phone hacks, the Xbox Elite 2 controller, and the Steam Deck.

JJ and Andy contemplate the unique Original Series Episode All Our Yesterdays from the ill-fated third season.

CELESTE! - plus Vacation, Fridge Repair, SGDQ, turbo buttons, and the grand finale of the Component Class on Controllers.

Disneyland is a vastly different experience but Andy and Michael still enjoyed their time. Micheal leads a discussion of the mouse, no not Mickey. And, Part TWO of Component Class: Controllers. Is there to be a part three?!

Cassette Tapes, Tacos, Beemers, Baseball, Monster TVs, and 2D Metroid, what year is it?! The Nintendo Direct sent us back to the past for this week.
