We Were Gamers

Michael lands on the worst pun of all time. Wing chat returns on Jolene's Wings + Beer. Andy caught up with Saitama in One Punch Man Season 2. JJ explains Stocks. And, we all bag on Google (and kind of the Australian government too).

Episodes 3, 4 & 5 discussion from Star Trek: Discovery Season 3.

CES shows us the future is here, with homemade soft serve. Andy tests the limits of a lox and bagel. And we've been busy with a bunch of games: Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade Chronicles DE, Total War: Three Kingdoms, and even Call of Duty: Warzone.

Leveling up our homes with new projects in the new year, so we took a stab at emails! Also, Disney has opening up the door to new Star Wars games and even Indiana Jones with the creation of Lucasfilm Games. JJ and Michael fawn (deservedly) over Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Wonder Woman 1984 Major Spoilers Warning.

Andy's cancelled vacation plans lead to a deafening purchase. AGDQ runs happened and we loved seeing Celeste, Sonic Mania, Pokemon, Sekiro and more. JJ proves that the Total War series may not be everything we remember. We take a deep dive into Tim Roger's Tokimeki Memorial video. It brings us to Koji Igarashi and Michael's playthrough of Alwa's Legacy (twice).

The Winter Break gave us a little time to partake of Media: Soul, The Lord of the Rings, Wonder Woman 1984 and Ready Player 2. Andy does a car mod. JJ wonders about exploring the Total War Franchise. And, is who is Michael Keaton going to be in the DCEU? Happy New Year!

The end of the year looms large, it's time for all of us to take a little break. Come in from the weather; hang out.

We watch and have NUMEROUS comments on the 900+ year time jump to the future of our universe. Discovery Season 3 Episodes 1 + 2.

After a brief tangent on some food and holiday lights, we get straight to our annual "Things of the Year" list. JJ, Andy and Michael all pick an experience that will stick with them when thinking of 2020... it'll have to be pretty special this year. Also, yes, yes, we're also going to explore some further thoughts on the ending of The Mandalorian Season 2.

This season of Mandalorian was certainly more divisive than the first, but here we loved the narrative structure and character development. This is an ode to the final episode of Mandalorian season 2, as it ends one chapter and begins another. "If I saw a tank full of Snokes I'd Bib right out of there with maximum initiative."

Kit Returns! We discuss the wonderful "The Believer" Episode of The Mandalorian. Also, we review and throw wild conjecture around regarding the new Disney+ Lucasfilm announcements.

There's so much Disney+ News this week that we literally couldn't fit in talking about Disney+'s The Mandalorian. How gray can a gray area be? Also, JJ and Michael don't take the bait on a smackdown. Netflix has lost value and Cyberpunk sounds like a mess.

While Andy's sink tries to submerge his house, we process a critical food debate. Also, we answer emails regarding episode 236' s Component Class, JJ plays Mahjong, Michael beats Mario Odyssey and a mystery game in early access. We have a look into the legality of ROMS and talk a bit about the Mandalorian.

Ken and Andy welcome Loren, roleplay gaming creator and Star Wars aficionado, to talk about the latest two episodes of the Mandalorian.

In full blown appreciation mode for Tim Rogers and his crazy long videos, we review Cheez It flavors. Also, there’s Thanksgiving food talk too. Component Class returns to fawn over those new Ryzen CPUs and their apparent market domination. Andy tries Call of Duty: Warzone. And, of course, a follow-up on the Mandalorian.

We throw up our saltiest takes on... pink salt & mini tacos. Also, Halo 4 and Yakuza: Like a Dragon.

A look at the mostly charming and fun Discovery Short Treks before we get lost in the future of the Trek universe.

Artist Drew E Johnson joins us for a stellar episode of Emergency Carbon Scoring. We had to jump back into the Mandalorian fray and take a Clone Wars and Rebels retrospective to try and grasp the rather large reveals from Season 2 Episode 3. What a ride!

Every game wants to be the only one you play. Hearthstone tries to reemerge under the modern philosophy. Will a battle pass make it relevant to us again? Three sparkly new consoles launched. Michael tried new wings. Mass Effect also swings for the comeback. And, ODST betrays us only to leave Andy pleasantly surprised. Oh, yea, hey, what's all the fuss about Mandalorian Season 2 Episode 3? JJ wants...

Coyote Pee? Ok, Ok. But seriously: The Mandalorian Season 2, Hades, Final Fantasy XII, Super Mario Odyssey, and even a review of all our previous episodes!

A wonderful podcast trip back in time to talk about the historic book series Dragonlance (and it sounds like just the first of many discussions!). Andy gets a deep dive lesson on gambits and systems in Final Fantasy 12 in order to try and catch up to the two other over-achievers. Also: Alton Brown, the Blizzard Gear Sale, Starlink, Wizards of the Coast's terrible decisions, and the first episode o...

Kit, Ken and Andy were raring to gab about the Mandalorian Season 2 premiere. What an episode! We just nerd out for an hour on all the minutia we loved finding in there and where we think things are going, now that the first 50 minutes are on screen.

Ken tries to calm down Statler and Waldorf (Andy & Kit) over the last month of frustration regarding Hasbro's Pulsecon and retailer exclusive troubles. It's a lot of toy talk as we talk about Pulse, the Credit Collection, Target's ridiculous shortages, Vintage Boba Fetts, increasing prices, variable quality. There's a lot of info to be found on different toy lines for Star Wars that are readily av...

Apologies up front for a confounding audio problem this week. It will be corrected. We're inundated with local fires. All of us gave camping a go. Lots of food chat. Back to the Future the Musical? There's a sad thing happening at Blizzard (to Blizzard?). And, we get to a batch of EMAILS!

An entire season of Star Trek: Lower Decks has aired and it was wonderful. Boimler and Mariner have found a place in our hearts already. Also, Andy read "Star Trek Picard: The Last Best Hope" and we really need to talk about what it would have meant to the show.
