Our sidequest this week brought us to PlayStation HQ, where they told us they want to play our games for us. We said no thanks. Also discussed: resolutions, Steam Awards winners, new PS5 colors, and non-holiday holiday movies and video games. The Empire Strikes Back is a holiday movie. I don't know why, it just is.

This week we ventured over to Geoff Keighley's neck of the woods to see what The Game Awards thought of 2025's best games. We also talked about a new Star Wars racing game that was announced, humanity's weird death drive and why people like roller coasters, and announced our Game of the Year Categories.

Our sidequest this week took us down (recent) memory lane to recap Extra Life 2025 and all the insanity, hilarity, and pain we experienced. We set a new fundraising record this year and we're so grateful to everyone that helped by participating and/or donating! Also Sharknado is getting a prequel movie, thank god.

Our sidequest this week took us to the world of corporate mergers and acquisitions to talk about the terrible news that EA is being bought by Saudi Arabia. We also discussed XBox increasing Game Pass prices, some games to actually look forward to, and games we did a complete 180 on. It's not ALL bad news.

Our sidequest this week took us to the afterlife where Kojima wants to cast a ghost in his next game. We also chatted about Borderlands 4's performance issues (there may be a pill for that), and games that are good for some podcast or audiobook parings. Enjoy responsibly.

Our sidequest this week took us to PlayStation land to check out some PS6 handheld rumor, celebrate PlayStation's 30th anniversary, and look at some of the most popular PlayStation games of all time. We also talked about Nintendo's top ranked franchises, what skills we could take back to the medieval times in order to survive, and the difference between escapism and dissociation.

Our sidequest this week had us riding dinosaurs (with their permission of course). We also dug into the benefits of binge-gaming, failing cheaply, whether or not we own digital goods, and the surprising ages of video game characters.
