First and foremost: our apologies for the delay in this episode release! You may notice a change in audio quality after the introductions. This is because Brett’s rig crashed and died during this recording, and David picked up his slack and was able to provide a backup! (Thanks, David!) Hence, it took quite a bit of editing work to piece together what we had worked … Continue reading 53: The Dark Knight
SMOOTH SAILING TOWARDS THE END The dramatic developments over the course of Telltale’s last season of The Walking Dead have had serious effects on the industry, from helping push chronic labor issues into the foreground, to reminding everyone that there are artists behind these games that get seriously affected when studios close. In the last few months, Skybound Games has swooped in to resurrect the last … Continue reading Review – The Walking Dead: The Final Season Episode 3: Broken Toys (PS4)
Is it fair to hold a Game of the Year Awards when you haven’t played what’s considered to be the year’s top games? I’ve asked myself this question multiple times. The biggest releases I’ve touched this year are Far Cry 5 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate; everything else has been mostly focused on 3DS content and downloadable games. Some people might get offended that I … Continue reading Piecing Together A Gaming Life Pt. 2’s 2018 Game of the Year Awards

In this Movie-Go-Round Netflix Roulette, we got our first Netflix Original movie – The Polka King. It was a biopic, and there was a lot of good polka music, and Jack Black and Jenny Slate were in it. Guests Ericca Long and Cole Roulain of The Magic Lantern podcast joined Brett, David, and Nicole in watching it for you. We all dug deep into pertinent questions such … Continue reading 52: The Polka King
A Not-So-Dry January Despite my expectations of a slow month, January 2019 ended up coming in hotter than I expected. Though the number of releases still isn’t that large, the high profile nature of many of them is still surprising for a month right after the largest shopping season of the year. Or so I thought, anyway. Much to my surprise, this has become a … Continue reading Ten Games to Look For in January 2019
In this Movie-Go-Round New to Two, David introduced Brett and Nicole to an older Western. The Magnificent Seven may have been a remake of a Japanese movie and bombed at the box office, but over the years it has become an American classic. What has made this movie endure so well over time? What is it about the characters that makes them so compelling? Is there a stealth gay … Continue reading 51: The Magnificent Seven
As people celebrate the end of 2018, and the great year for gaming it was, the specter of 2019 is only days away. With another twelve months in front of us, the face of gaming could change within a month, or the whole year could serve as a waiting period for the next generation of consoles to make their debut. Though there are still games … Continue reading My Top Five Anticipated Games of 2019
In this Movie-Go-Round, You Did This to Us! Brett made the fatal mistake of railing against The Bodyguard on an earlier show, so our perverse listenership decided we just HAD to see it. It’s filled with pop ballads, “cool” masculine tropes, illogical behavior on the part of just about everybody, and a lot of Kevin Costner flying through the air. Did Nicole, Brett, and David survive? Did they … Continue reading 50: The Bodyguard
A Therapeutic Platformer The story of Gris is interpretive. Told without a single text box or line of dialogue, the game nonetheless has its themes. Gris, a young woman, loses everything in one fell swoop, and is sent plummeting to the earthly wasteland below. The color of the world around her, her voice, and even her ability to pick her head up and walk all … Continue reading Review – Gris (Switch)
