This episode is a barrel roll of laughs and technical difficulties, but that won't stop the boys in the Satellite of Dreams from gushing about the oft-remade classic that is Star Fox 64. Combining short play times, punchy lightgun gameplay, and a branching narrative, Star Fox 64 remains one of THE games of the Nintendo 64 (and the 3DS, and the Wii U, and the Switch 2). Is there truly a secret sauce to this story of star furries? How much love does Brogan have for Bill, the dog? All this and more in the DDC episode on Star Fox 64

In the wake of 007: First Light, Brogan and Murph jump back to 2005 to experience the last time we were between Bonds and games had to make due. The solution for From Russia With Love was to go back to the OG martini shaker by recruiting Sir Sean Connery himself to reprise his favorite (and arguably best) performance as 007. Unfortunately, this also means that it's a 2005 video game adaptation of a 1960's spy film starring an 80 year-old man, creating one of the odder artifacts of the Bond franchise.

Murph gets his freak on with guest host Stephen so he can finally talk about the best 7/10 AAA-Mid game: Days Gone. Once a showcloser for Sony's 2018 E3 showcase, Days Gone is already slipping from public consciousness. It's a crude, generic open-world zombie survival game about a sad white man...and yet there's something special about it (at least Murph thinks that). At very least it has the Sawmill Horde fight.

Daydreamcast is here to make your legs quake and make you go crazy. We drop into id Software's first 3D shooter following their success with DOOM. The name Quake is known far and wide in the annals of Boomer Shooterdom, but it's never enjoyed a contemporary revival like it's older siblings DOOM and Wolfenstein have. Is there a reason it's churning madness of speed, gothism, and explosions has been left behind?

Murph's been acting a little funny since coming back from Antarctica (and not haha funny). Brogan decides to test his humanity by talking about The Thing video game from 2002. Yes, there is a game based on The Thing and it's the official sequel to the film as sanctioned by Gamer™ John Carpenter himself. Also being put under the microscope is the 2nd season of the Fallout TV show, Hades 2, and the introduction of the Tomb Raider Minute!

Brogan is contacted by a mysterious entity originating from the South Pole. Murph is back and he wants to talk about Mario's second handheld adventure Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins. This charming platformer doesn't have many elements that stuck with the Mario franchise, but the most enduring is the introduction of Mario's evil doppleganger, Wario! How does the gassy game dev tycoon come across in his first outing?

In lieu of a Variety Minute or Watcha Playin', Brogan and Murph discuss their Top 3 favorite games of 2025.
