We Were Gamers

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.
