We're back for our first podcast of the year (and our anniversary) to talk about the dire state of PC computers at CES, our backlogs, Rising Front, and more. This week's music: Depeche Mode - Sister of Night

2025 is drawing its last breath, and as we celebrate its demise, we look back on the year of video game music that was. So find a comfortable chair, sit back, and let our tones splash all over your fa- ears, we mean. From all of us at Rebel FM, we wish you a better, brighter, and hopefully saner 2026.

We're here for one last regular show before the end of the year, and we're talking about Dogpile, Avatar, Diablo IV's new Paladin, the Fallout TV show's second season, and lots, lots more. From our podcast family to yours, happy holidays, and see you next year! And for a music episode! This week's music: August Burns Red - Up on the House Top

We're back, and we've got a few games to talk about, including that Terminator 2 nerd-oriented Terminator 2D, Forestrike, our gaming relapses, and plenty more. This week's music: Poppy - Guardian

We're recovering from the holiday feasting with a quieter show in a quieter week, but we're here anyway talking about Planet Crafter, Sektori, the spiraling PC building situation, our nostalgic Thanksgiving week game time, and more. This week's music: Die Spitz - Throw Yourself to the Sword

We kick this episode off by celebrating the second most important birthday of the week, which belongs to the Xbox 360, a canon event for most of us. We also make time to chat about whether or not Dispatch is a video game and whether that matters, the new Frankenstein movie, how hard it is to adapt Richard Bachman stories into movies, how the AI industry is screwing us this week, and more. This week's music: Electric Callboy - Elevator Operator

We're back after another successful Extra Life and wouldn't you know it, we have a lot of games to talk about, including RV There Yet, Baby Steps, Power Wash Simulator 2, Black Ops 6, Metroid Prime 4, and more - but not before digging in to what the Steam Machine is, and who precisely it might be for. This week's music: Lola Young - Conceited

This week we've dragged Anthony out of his COVID hole so we can talk about a lot of games, including The Outer Worlds 2, Bloodlines 2, Arc Raiders, Ball X Pit, Ninja Gaiden 4, and a lot more. Extra-Life 2025 lands on November 8th. Find more information at rebelfm.wtf and please donate if you can! This week's music: Temple of the Dog - Hunger Strike

We managed to squeeze in a show this week before Anthony fled the country, which gave us enough time to talk about the absolute lows of Battlefield 6's campaign, how annoying it is that the Xbox Ally X is as good as it is when it's so expensive, the promising magic of Double Fine's Keeper, the ethical challenges of modern video game coverage, and more! This week's music: Everclear - Santa Monica

This week miraculously we all played the same game, and we've got a lot to say about Battlefield 6, from the good (conquest!) to the bad (breakthrough!). But we've also got more games to talk about, including hands-on with Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, Sleep Awake, and more! This week's music: Purity Ring - imanocean
