Defend the Podcast

Hang ten, gamers. We're finally taking a break from all our fin summer activities (gamin') to discuss what we've been up to (gamin')! A doozy of a summer recap here, but we do our best to - as always - feign a prompt pace in lieu of meticulous discourse. Hope you enjoy the episode! And if you do, tell a bud!

It's our 4th (?!) annual Best of the Rest Awards! Every year, Ben, Joe and Jamison take some time to give some time to the games of yesteryear that may not have had their moment to shine, so what better time to go over that, than halfway through February! We've compiled seven categories to award games for their feats in Cooperative play, Boss Fights, Introductory Hour, and more! But before we begin the awards, Ben graces us with his Top 10 Games of 2021! What were your favourite titles of the last year? Sound off in the comments below!

Well. We spent the last year talking about the build up of these two games SO MUCH, that those discussions would probably account for 40% of our show over the last year. So, what better way to commemorate that love, than to honour those two games with their own episode. Here's our discussion, once-but-not-for-all, on Halo Infinite and Battlefield 2042. We recorded this early January, after much time to stew. What's your final take on these two games? Let us know!

Another year has passed which means it's game of the year time again! Joe and Jamison reconvene to spend way too much time discussing their favorite games of 2021.

[00:00:00] Intro

We've all played the Outer Wilds expansion Echoes of the Eye and get into (albeit light) spoiler territory from 10:00 to 38:00. Then, Ben has played a great many games from Into the Pit, Metroid Dread, and not one, but TWO(!!) JRPGs (Scarlet Nexus and Tales of Arise), we've all played varying amounts of Inscryption, and Jamison is snacking on smaller games like Artful Escape and Sable. To wrap up we chat at length about Battlefield 2042 and... you guessed it, Halo Infinite! Again!

00:00:00 Intro

00:02:11 Psychonauts 2

00:53:21 Deathloop

02:19:56 Kena?

02:22:32 The Next Episode

We talk about Halo Infinite again and recap the Playstation showcase. Then we get into some stuff we've played; Pyschonauts 2, Tales of Aries' demo, Joe somewhat deciphered what Terraria is, and then... well... we spend the last 50 minutes of the show talking about 12 Minutes and how no one should ever play it. Content warning for discussions about a game that contains home invasions, domestic abuse, and incest. I'm warning you now because 12 Minutes sure didn't. DO NOT PLAY IT!!

We're back after two whole months with the longest episode ever!

We spend a long time discussing our time with the Halo Infinite play test that happened, marveling at Battlefield 2042, then get into some good old "what we've been playing" discussions. We've got Mario Golf, we've got Zelda, we've got Death's Door, Yakuza, The Ascent, and more!
