It's only been a few days since you last heard from us, so not much is new. We do find ourselves going down a weird Sonic The Hedgehog-inspired hole. Wait. That came out wrong. (DeviantArt don't get mad at us please.) We then talk a bit about Mario Kart 8, Path of Exile, WoW, Quiplash 2 and Hollow Knight.…

The boys have played Tacoma, the latest game form Fullbright. We gush about its mechanical hook and its smart ideas about AI, and how we feel about immediately comparing it to Gone Home. Then, it's more PUBG, Splatoon 2 and Dragon Ball Super talk! Stick around.

We played games! Mostly together! Lots of talk about Heroes of the Storm, Playerunknown's Battlegrounds, Splatoon 2, as well as a quick rundown of this week in gaming, including our thoughts on the Destiny 2 beta (that we haven’t even played).

Boy, flying, right? We're fresh off the plane from E3, where we definitely played so many of those hot-ass games. So stoked to have been at E3 with all our friends. E3 was great. We played looks at writing on hand Stern Doors Battletron 2

Mikey and Rhoades run through all the highlights from Bethesda, PC Gaming, Ubisoft and Sony. We are here to share our thoughts with you over the web (yeah, that was a Spider-Man reference).

Damn. Microsoft announced so many games at their E3 press conference, as well as more details on the Project Scorpio, now known as the Xbox One X (ugh, terrible). Will this make Rhoades buy an Xbox? (Probably not). Plus, we saw more about Anthem. We talk about it all.(Note: We discussed this before we realized the developer of The Last Light suppor…

The boys got together to react to EA’s #EAPlay press conference, where they introduced Bioware’s Anthem (more on that at Microsoft’s press conference today), showed off Star Wars Battlefront II, and gave us a taste of A Way Out. Also: sports.

We're all about that E3 baby! We get together to discuss E3 2017, our favorite E3 memories, what we posted about on Facebook in 2008, as well as what we've been playing!

Will Far Cry 5 be able to tackle its subject matter without sticking its foot in its mouth? Are the Divine Beasts in Breath of the Wild good? Why did Rhoades play The Order: 1866? How's Overwatch these days?

The Project Rap Rabbit Kickstarter has us a little skeptical, as does Destiny 2. That doesn't keep us from speculating a whole bunch. Plus we talk about our continued adventures in Zelda, Playerunknown's Battlegrounds, Return of Obra Dinn, Prey and Thumper.

What are some of your favorite obscure games that other people might not know about? We have a couple! We discuss them, as well as PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Prey (2017) and more!

Every once in a while we get weirdly tired of playing videogames, which is bad because we host a show dedicated to videogames. What do we do when we feel exhausted by the very idea of picking up a controller, and what are some good games to play to get back into it? Or, is it sometimes good to step back and reevaluate your relationship with games? …

Brian and Mikey went to the PIG Squad Drink N' Draw in Portland and played some games! After they give the lowdown, we then continue to discuss my complicated relationship with Telltale games, as well as What Remains of Edith Finch, Kamiko and more.

We lost most of Mikey's audio on this one, so the last half is just me and Brian . It's a little awkward and raw, but we had fun. We discuss Kimmy (read our review), the SNES Classic (read our wishlist) and traveling with the Switch.

Fans of the Genre got bought by a scrappy yuppy startup. Visit infinitedogs.com for articles. It's a website.Topics discussed: Infinite Dogs, Overwatch Uprising, Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, Persona 5, mobile gaming

The content runs through it.…

The Switch is here! Sort of!

As your go-to source for news, reviews, previews, babes and more, we OBVIOUSLY already have a Nintendo Switch (no we don't). Just like those smaller sites, we get tons of early games and consoles (no we don't). It's only natural we'd have the hottest takes on just how that lil portable baby feels (we don't, but we can speculate based on the podcast…

This week has us discussing games of the video variety, particularly the enduring traits of Japanese games. Then, we talk more about what sets Nioh apart from Dark Souls (which Brian picked back up this week!). All that before Mikey waxes poetic on Yakuza 0.

The boys are back in town, and they have a bunch of fun stuff to say about The Besties (welcome back!), Terrace House, Hitman, Final Fantast XIV, For Honor, Link's full name and more! This one gets a little silly. Thanks, dwinkies!Original music by Jon Bash

Rhoades has more Hitman stories, Brian dumped WoW (not really), and Mikey is rolling for cute anime fighters.Discussed: The Big Game, Hitma…

Rhoades spent like 30 minutes trying to come up with a Resident Evil 7/Donald Trump parallel but couldn't. Suffice to say it would have gone something like: Which is the real resident evil, the game... or America? Wow. Very insightful and spooky.Anyway, this episode is heavy on politics partway through. We are... unhappy with the current administra…

Hey readers, it's Rhoades. I'm out this week, marching in DC. That leaves Mikey and Brian to talk about... well... tbh I didn't listen, so we'll find out together. I assume only very nice things.

George Berry (@strifedarko) joins us today all the way from the UK! George is a developer (producer?) at Team Woodsalt, where he and a small group of devs are making Sonder.We learn about Sonder, then talk about the Nintendo Switch, Kingdom Hearts, Titanfall 2 (again), Hidden my game by mom!, and a few other games. Also, we get an update about Bria…

Today, we wax nostalgic on a few "older" games, namely Kingdom Hearts, Dark Souls, The World Ends With You and Bayonetta. Weirdly enough, there's some sort of thread between all of those, which let us discuss how far games, systems and storytelling have come since the PS2-era. We also spend a fair amount of time talking about DOOM (2016). It's a go…

We all joined around an actual table this week, for the very first episode where we're all in the same room. The holiday season has us talking about what we want from the Nintendo Switch, a new Assassin's Creed, as well as The Surge, a follow-up to Lords of the Fallen. After that, we talk about the late Carrie Fisher and the ways in which we enjoy …

We're preoccupied boys, so we missed last week (sorry!). We're back for the final episode of 2016 to talk about games, video games, video games, video games and video games. We're a little torn on Super Mario Run and it's always-online requirement (and its silly friend codes), but we still find time to celebrate our love for Overwatch, Legend of Ze…

Mikey's back, and we're here to reflect on the week that was, as well as discuss Watch Dogs 2, Clustertruck, Burly Men at Sea, Invisible Inc, No Man's Sky, and some problems with Telltale games. Then we talk about how we cope with delayed games before moving into hot takes!
