This week's music: The Vampire Lestat - Long Face

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

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'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: Everclear - Santa Monica

Well everything in the video games industry is totally fine and nothing weird is happening, so we're back to talk about stuff like Donkey Kong Bananza, Cyber Nights Flashpoint, Superman, and more. This week's music: Deftones - My Mind Is a Mountain

We're trying to keep it together for Tiny Chef as we chat about the Dead as Disco and Suit for Hire demos, what makes Peak so resonant with so many people, whether Death Stranding 2 can hold on to what made the first game special, and also chat about getting old.

This week's music: Banks - Best Friends

We're back after a week off with ... honestly too much stuff to talk about, including hands-on impressions with the upcoming Xbox Ally X, Pragmata, Dying Light the Beast, a lot more Summer Game Fest stuff, and the Switch 2 launch, plus Steam Next Fest demos like TerraTech Legion. This week's music: Queens of the Stone Age - I Never Came (Alive in the Catacombs)

It's the last show before the Switch 2 launches and we feel fine, because we're talking about literally anything else, including the Lenovo Legion Go S Steam Edition (and some weirdness with how games look on it), Elden Ring: Nightreign (and some weirdness with what people expected from it), along with other weirdness including Police Simulator and more. This week's music: Pixel Grip - Reason to Stay

It's a slower week, so we're all digging into backlogs and things we missed — things like Crime Scene Cleaner, Deadzone: Rogue, and Police Simulator. But we also find time to talk 9Kings, the new Nvidia 5060, and even read some emails. This week's music: Spiritbox - Perfect Soul

But we also talk baout Clair Obscure, Skin Deep, Thunderbolts*, and a fair bit more. This week's music: Skid Row - I Remember You

We're back and we're talking about several video games! We talk about some of our diverging draws in the Blue Prince, go long on South of Midnight (an early nominee for game music of the year), talk about the challenges in front of Marathon, and touch a little bit on everybody's favorite video game and tech topic: tariffs. This week's music: Allie X - Black Eye

Well we expected to talk about the Switch 2 and how interesting it was and what we like about it, but it's hard not to get sidetracked by how much of a debacle the tariff situation could kick off for Nintendo's new console and the video game market as a whole. But we still manage to talk about the system, why it feels better than any Switch before it, Donkey Kong Bananza, Tears of the Kingdom Enhanced, Metroid Prime 4, and more, plus South of Midnight too. This week's music: Coheed and Cambria - The Father of Make Believe

This week's music: Knocked Loose - Slaughterhouse 2 (feat. Chris Motionless)

The onslaught of games is chanting in the distance, and we've got a look ahead with some talk about Assassin's Creed Shadows.

This week's music: Beth Gibbons - Floating on a moment

This week we're all atwitter (abluesky?) about the Switch 2 and talk a lot about what we thought, what we still don't know, and speculate a lot about a very possibly stacked first year for Nintendo's upcoming handheld - plus we talk about The Roottrees are Dead, Heroes of Hammerwatch, and a lot more. This week's music: Gravecreeper - The Black Curtain

It's a new year and we're back, whether we want to be or not, and we're talking ... well, backlogs, honestly, with Farming Simulator 25, The Cabin Factory, the Dead Space remake, final impressions of Indiana Jones and more, including your emails about TVs and PC hardware and more. This week's music: Poppy - the cost of giving up

The year is just about over, the stockings have been emptied, the presents have been opened (the first candle has been lit), and we're here with our annual gift to you: an extended catalog of some of our favorite video game music of 2024.

This week's music: Ari Abdul - Don't

This week it's hard not start off by talking about the Helldivers/PSN/Steam cavalcade of miscalculations, but we also make time to talk about games like Indika, Rotwood, and more. This week's music: Bad Omens W/ So Wylie - The Death of Peace of Mind (So Wylie Patch)

This week we talk plenty about Ready or Not and The Controversy around it, as well as Halo Infinite's collectible issues, the Gunk, Dota 2's holiday roguelike extravaganza, our opposing takes on the Matrix Resurrections and a fair bit more as we bestow upon you this slightly early Christmas gift.

This week we're joined by a special guest - IGN's Miranda Sanchez, who explains to us exactly what the hell the deal is with Genshin Impact, and we also talk about the new space-bound shooter Chorvs (that's "Chorus," not "chorv-s"), Animal Crossing's expansion, Exo One, and a lot more. This week's music: FKA twigs (feat. Central Cee) - Measure of a Man

This week's music: Donna Missal - (to me) your face is love

We're back after Extra-Life with a lot of games to talk about pretty quickly, including Guardians of the Galaxy, Forgive me Father, House of Ashes, Battlefield 2042, and a LOT more (along with a separate, end of episode spoiler-filled discussion of Inscryption, which has plenty of warning so you can back out before anything gets too spoiled).

This week it's another two-person show as we dig deep into what the hell the Steam Deck is, who it's for, and how long it will last as a AAA game machine, talk about the Company of Heroes 3 technical alpha, discuss the highs and lows of A Plague Tale: Innocence, and more! This week's music: Fraunhofer Diffraction - Kvrt in Space
