- Build Up Your Dad Streak
Our sidequest this week took us into the FUUUTUURRE (cue time machine noises), where we talked about what lies ahead for video games beyond the current generation of consoles and about what games we're looking forward to this year. Back in the present, Epic is facing more legal scrutiny, Sega is getting into the subscription business, and we talked about the books we read in 2024. Oh, and there is some WILD stuff on the Steam PC game store.

2 hr 16 min - Fortnite - Not Even Once
Our sidequest this week led us to the OTHER Game Awards (the Geoff Keighley version) where we learned that Troy Baker can do a hell of a Harrison Ford impression. We also headed out to space to talk about Last of Us developer Naughty Dog's new game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, and to court where Epic was ordered to pay a hefty sum to Fortnite players for "dark patterns" related to microtransactions. Oh, and Snoop Dogg is making video games, now.

2 hr 51 min - Game of the Year!
Our holiday gift to you, this week's sidequest took us to THE CASUAL SWEATS GAME AWARDS (TM), which are definitely way better than any other Game Awards that may or may not be happening in December...

If you want to know what the absolute best (and some of the worst) games are, this is the episode for you.

3 hr 2 min - Research Montage
Our sidequest this week takes us through some exciting Gamescom announcements such as Secret Level and a Borderlands 4 confirmation, our very scientific take on the science of exploring alien planets, MinnMax's lovely tribute to Game Informer, and a discussion about why people get so angry and/or scared about things they don't understand.

2 hr 8 min - A Cure for Cat Brain
In this sidequest, we're exploring horrifying AI art, RDJ as Tony Stark as Dr. Doom (no that's not a typo), skill-based matchmaking, and the sad news that Game Informer has closed after 33 wonderful years. We also explored the topic of diversity, equity, and inclusivity in video games. Is "wokeness" ruining video games? Why do some developers seem so obsessed with making sure their games include diverse representation? Is there an agenda at play? We discuss and maybe you'd like to weigh in.
