This week's podcast discusses Suicide Squad, an indie game called Quasimorph, medication purchasing during the pandemic, recent gaming experiences, comparison between handheld and PC gaming, critique of a video game, decline of live service era, Smite's popularity in schools, and the strange feelings before developing COVID-19 symptoms.

This week we're pretty bummed out and also pissed off about layoffs and the costs of acquisitions, but we're here, so we might as well talk about some games, including Palworld, Enshrouded, Go Mecha Ball, Lords of the Fallen, and more.  This week's music:  Sunny Day Real Estate - Novum Vetis

It's a quieter week release wise, but we still find plenty to talk about, including Xbox's upcoming slate (and the rumors that just refuse to die), Turnip Boy Robs a Bank, First Cut: Samurai Duel, and a lot more.  This week's music:  Chelsea Wolfe - Everything Turns Blue

This week we're back with a lot of CES to talk about, including some hands-on time with MSI's new Claw handheld, lots of up close impressions about new monitors and that fancy new transparent OLED, plus Matt chats about the making of the just-announced Grounded 2 documentary charting the 7 year journey of The Last of Us Part 2's development (and we also talk about Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, The Gnorp Analogue, and more).  This week's music:  Royal Blood - Supermodel Avalanches

It's that time again (actually a little past, but hush): we're here to chat about our favorite video game music of 2023, so grab a decent pair of headphones and get comfy as we dive into over five hours and almost 90 tracks featuring some of the best scores and soundtracks from a banner year for video games.

This week we don't have too many games but still manage to talk a lot, about things like Death Must Die, movies this year, what big leaks should tell gamers about the industry and what to expect, and we share a personal moment too. We hope you have a happy and safe new year and an amazing 2024 <3

This week we manage to talk about a ton of games, because in 2023, even December can't stop the games from blasting us in the face. This week that includes Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Witchfire, Against the Storm, While the Iron's Hot, Clone Drone in the Danger Zone, and we talk about rumors, who you can believe, and read some of your emails.  This week's music:  Of Mice and Men - Castaway

We're together again to talk a lot about The Game Awards - the good, the bad, the absolutely unsurprising, and what we might change if we could. Plus we talk about Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora and more.  This week's music:  Elvis Drew - Make Me Feel

This week we're just two guys digging in to Steamworld Build, and some other stuff as well — but mostly Steamworld Build. We also debate the definition of indie games and studios with the viewpoint of someone working at a studio that was independent but is now owned by a major publisher, plus plenty more! This weeks music:  Allie X - Girl With No Face

We're back and largely on time as we dig in a little more on the gaming handhelds after some extended traveling, the new PS5 (and maybe a little about what it might mean for the PS5 Pro), go back in time with Stellaris, Dave the Diver, Dredge, and more.  This week's music:  Muse - Map of the Problematique
