Brothers vs Backlog

Starfield? Delayed. Suicide Squad? Delayed. Robo Cop? Delayed. Hogwarts Legacy Crap Versions? Delayed. Skull & Bones? Well, nothing about that one, but probably delayed. Will any of these games hit their new release windows? Probably not, but it could happen.

Has Jackson collected all the GT7 cars? Well, of course not because there's nearly 500 of them, but he's made some progress. Find out how much. And which new game has entered the collection!

You may be wondering if we have strong opinions about cake. Well, wonder no more, because the answer is here this episode.

What's even better than a new Legend of Zelda game? How about a Legend of Zelda Lego set!? Ok, it's not better, but it's still pretty cool. And we've got Tears of the Kingdom coming soon too.

Is it insanity to spend lots of time planning out how to paint all your Gran Turismo cars? Of course not. Completely normal! Everything should be blue.

The Mario movie is coming, and it's going to be a little on the short side. How does this compare to Disney movies in length? We talk at length about it, for some reason.

The latest Nintendo Direct gave us dates for all sorts of things and had a very surprising recurring theme along with a depressing one - detective games and expansion passes. But let's talk about what is most important: Pikmin 4 has a Pikmin puppy! That's a must buy if we've ever heard one.

GameBoy and GameBoy Advance games are finally coming to Nintendo Switch Online after months of speculation. Is there anything worth playing? Our opinions vary on that.

Does this episode have more discussion of assassins and attempted assassins than usual? It does. Find out why.

After a short hiatus from a variety of weather, work, and child-related interruptions, Jackson and Bill return with great backlog clearing news. And then promptly find more things to replace those cleared games. What did we finish? What did we add? Listen in and find out.

Is checking out at a CVS the most challenging task in everyday life? For some people, it just may be.  CVS Checkout Simulator! A puzzle game for all ages!!

Lots of users give games a 0, but what would it take for us to actually suggest a game is worth that score? We'll talk about it.

Disney has many live-action remakes in the can already, plus at least one more on the way. We'll talk about those as well.

Stop me if you've heard this one before: Skull & Bones is getting delayed. No longer slated for March, Ubisoft's pirate game is now slated for a much more vague "fiscal 2023," so maybe we'll see it by the end of March 2024. But we aren't holding our breath.

Forspoken got a big cinematic story trailer, and the response has been... predictable. With less than 2 weeks until release, it might be time to temper expectations.

Bill knows movies! He may not know the actual plots, but sometimes he gets pretty close. Which movies get the Bill treatment this week? You'll have to listen to find out.

Plus: we consider where Kratos might go next. Our answer might surprise you. And Sea of Stars has released some music. Is the track the new hotness?

While the multiplayer Last of Us game, Factions, was already expected for this year, now there's rumblings that a 3rd game in the series might be coming much later. Will the jerks at Naughty Dog kill off more horses this time? Almost certainly yes, if they are in the game. Otherwise it will be whatever other animal you care about.

Square-Enix and Konami don't have announcements, but they have announcements coming later. Are we getting Final Fantasy Tactics Remake? Final Fantasy IX Remake? Metal Gear Solid collection? Give us something people!!

Did you know that Wo Long and Wu Kong are different games? They certainly profess to be. And one of them had a big gameplay trailer this week.

Plus: the finer points of lying, Bill's opinions on potatoes, That 90s Show is coming, and people are really annoying when it comes to big game sales.

Much like 2021, we say so long to another year of gaming with a list of what we've played in the last 12 months and what we're hoping to play in the next 12. Could anything dethrone Triangle Strategy as our GOTY??

Nintendo capped off 2022 with a little Indie Celebration. Was there anything in there that seems promising, or does Bill relegate it all to the dumpster? The answer might surprise you.

There are some HD-2D games coming out in 2023. Maybe there will be more secretly coming later as well. We are fully in favor of this art style, and hope it continues.

Finally, after Digital Foundry's wild Switch Pro speculation seems not to be coming true, we make up our own wild speculation with no actual evidence. We're journalists!!

Matt is back for this penultimate 2022 episode, and he's just in time for discussing the Pixel Remasters finally getting announced for consoles. Will he be diving back in, or was once through enough?

Tis the season for Home Alone, so we do a deep dive on Uncle Frank. Or a shallow dive. What's his deal, anyway?

Also, with Matt here, we get to talk about movies. Why do so many quality MCU villains get offed instead of getting a chance to shine in multiple films?

Have a great Christmas season!

Our second annual Gameys-focused episode! Was this year's show as horror-focused as last year? Did Jackson figure out how to differentiate between ads and trailers? Was there anything for Bill to throw in the dumpster? All this and more!

Is it time to bring back the Thurl Ravenscroft mustache? We have the answer, and it may not surprise you.

What are your thoughts on coriander as a beer flavor? We have strong thoughts on this subject.

Also, there was one game in The Gameys that went from intriguing to awful in a matter of moments. Which one was it?

Not Dead Space 4 (aka The Callisto Protocol) has been out for a week and the results have been... not great. Same for the console release of The Outbound Ghost. Are we forever doomed to live in this age of companies bombarding us with unfinished and poorly optimized offerings? Yes. Yes we are.

Official Elden Ring PvP is here. Are we excited? Probably not, based on our dislike of PvP and a somewhat offensive incident involving friend of the show, Alex, and his Souls PvP experiences.

Did you know that Bob Barker is still alive, somehow? We learned that little nugget while we recorded this episode. Good for you, Bob. We'll spay and neuter our pets in your honor. 

Why are people proud of being bad at math? It's quite the mystery, and we discuss it here.
