Doug was stuck in a souls mindset after finishing Elden Ring so he decided to go back to the original Dark Souls to finally make it through. From there we examine how Souls has changed from one of the earliest entries to the most recent.

Brad travels back in time to a simpler yet overly complex time in the late 90s and gives the often over looked Chrono Cross a shot. Where does this fit in with the great PS1 JRPGs? Is The Radical Dreamers Edition making it worth a revisit?

We jump into and explore a cozy Colorado town in Life is Strange True Colors. How does this stack up with the rest of the franchise and does being released all at once help make this new Life is Strange feel different than the rest. 

Out of no where Doug sent me a message saying "We need to talk about Vampire Survivors now!" He breaks down what this new game is and why it has the potential to be a simple and fun hit. 

After decades of loving video games Doug finally decided to try The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. Is it still possible to see this as one of the best games of all time with no prior experience?

Doug takes another trip into the Gamepass library and starts digging through boxes in Unpacking. He walks through how a simple game about opening boxes and cleaning up has such an incredible and resonating story.

There are few things better than finding something weird and interesting on Xbox Gamepass. Doug stumbled into Echo Generation a unique indie JRPG. He breaks down how the interesting parts of this game got him through some frustration.
