Into the Aether - A Low Key Video Game Podcast

The time has come once again to review the entire year of video game releases with Into the Aether's 2021 Game of the Year Spectacular! This year, Brendon and Stephen traveled to Philadelphia to record in-person alongside producer and guest AJ and a roaring virtual yule log on a very large television. After presenting each individual top ten list, they decide upon the official Into the Aether Top Five of 2021. From all of us at ITA, we hope you have a wonderful 2022! We love you, thank you for listening to and supporting the show and for being part of such a wonderful corner of the internet! As this is our biggest episode of the year, every year, we'd kindly ask that you share it with a friend if possible. That would be so cool of you.Brendon's List: https://www.backloggd.com/u/brendonbigley/list/game-of-the-year-2021/ Stephen's List: https://www.backloggd.com/u/Stephen_Hilger/list/goty-2021/---Find us everywhere: https://intothecast.onlineJoin the Discord: https://theworstgarbage.onlineFollow Stephen Hilger: https://twitter.com/StephenHilgerFollow Brendon Bigley: https://twitter.com/brendonbigley---Produced by AJ Fillari: https://twitter.com/ajfillariSeason 4 Cover Art by Scout Wilkinson: https://scoutwilkinson.myportfolio.com/---Join the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/intothecastThanks to all of our amazing patrons! | Markus W | AggressiveToast | Liam R | Pippin N | Matt M | Minh N | jorgamund | Butterfly Bandit | Naman B | Gabe O | Josh H | Bellspr00ut | Kite | Doug | Lasse B | Retromation | John Thomas F | Juanda | Adam L | Geocracy | George L | b0rt | Elen R | David D | Casey D-VA | Zach B | Alex L | Connor C | Jeff N | Baker S | Daniel M | Adam S | Sergio L | Kyle S | ninjadeathdog | Sous Chef Russell | Greg | Zachary G | Adnan S | Celia S | Chris P | Lukerfuffle | David O | Kelly | Rory B | Adam V | JTH | David M | Varsha S | Stumpy J | Verlinp | Matthew W | Andy S | evie  | A42PoundMoose | Sam T | Maxwell H | Robert M | Jonah K | Morgan M | Robb S | Owen P | Samuel H | Michael W | Andrew S | Tom | Mitchell J | Justin M | Will L | InterJustin | Evan H | Sam B | Robert O | Xavier K | Charlie E | Theresa N | Jamal M | Korey | Thomas W | Monte J | Liam M | Nick S | Jellums | Peter R | Jennifer S | Will H | Derek H | Brian D | Augusto D | Ethan K | Michael O | Brandon B | Peter H | Matt S | Albatross Soup | Noah H G | Christiaan S | Nick P | Ryan O | CosmicBluesMinis | Derek N | Megan T | Josiah R | Austin B | Kaija R | Khaleel G | Rowan | Sam S | Hunter F | Togame1 | JT | John H | Makenzie B | James O | SalivationArmy | Bishop_Tacos | Alex L | Dakota K | Ryan H | Blake M | Wanda S. | Scott T | Rachel L | Ian B | Onatah | Samuel H | Myles H | Wiley K | Moonstone5tella | garretsr  | Eric D | Latte709 | Phillip F | Charles S | The WolfeKnight | Patrick M | Michael N | Brigitte L | Lee R | James Y | Reuben J | John C | Anisa | Maurice  | Nick M | Trey L | Sam N | Madeleine  | Randal S | Matthew M | leigha | Michael N | Connor  | Garrett P | Justin W | Brendan K | Michaela  | Adam G | Sebastian P | Júlía H | Marc | Christopher S | Alanna O | Scott R | Jackson F | Megan B | Erika Y | Christopher D | Matt D | Sebastian E | Liam B | Meredith | wreck | Daniel C | Coop | Brian M | Richie | Alexander M | Andrew K | Roc B | Alex G | Dan O | Laura W | Roberto S | Leo C | Wishbone | saddlebread | Roberge | Ian A | Max M | Michael V | Kyle R | Selina A | Noah O | Rich E | Michael G | Arcturus | Raihan S | Matthew M | Rowan S | Chris R | leastest | Kyle L | Anthony G | Adam | The Binding of Andrew | Hepahe | Jake L | Conor P | Cory F | Luke L | Matt C | Cian | John J P | GJ C | Mr Mallard | Sarah G | Vanessa J | Jack F | Kelsey J | Chase A | Elyse H | Anna | Nick Q | Tom H | Wes K | Erica S | Maria D | Chris M | RB | Jared B | Toots M | Aaron D | David C | Karen H | Walter N B | Kristin T | Joseph P | Tom W | Chad W | Chy J-B | Michaela W | Ryan W | Adam F | Scott H | Denys T | Lauren H | Andrew M | Alexander St. P | Griffin F | Ben G | killian | Therese K | Matthew V | Nick C | Zach A | SpagooliDude | Andrew L | Justin H | Alyssa R | jgprinters  | Rob K | Justin C | Jess B | Matt H | bsushi | sebsab  | Lilie G | Ian L | Chris | Pat M | markh | Craig | Matt F | Sebastian V N | Joeri B | Maryanne D | SkinTightAlloy  | Dennis C | Eliot O B | Shelly B | William L | Brendon T | Robert S | Murray  | Trevor B | salutepeezy  | Andrew D | David P | Alex M | Catherine O | Josh G | noname  | Jason  | Bede R | Mark O | Jeff C | Brett S | Inês G. | Kim M | Kamrin H | Minh T | Andrew D | Marxelle  |...

The hosts kick things off with opera anecdotes and mood changes tied to the seasons. They share a delightful link between gardening and childhood memories while reminiscing about Pokémon games. Nostalgia clashes with innovation in Pokémon remakes, particularly with the challenges of Nuzlocke runs. They celebrate Xbox's evolution, reflecting on Halo's multiplayer changes and the impact of game lore, touching on moral implications. Unique narratives in Dragon Quest IX and RPG mechanics round out a conversation filled with deep dives into character engagement and classic gaming experiences.
