Hello and welcome to another yearly wrap up awards show special episode - better late then never, right?

There are spoilers spread out randomly in this episode for Control, Outer Wilds, Death Stranding, Disco Elysium, and potentially more. We explicitly talk about MAJOR Control spoilers from 30:00-42:00, but other spoilers happen throughout and couldn't be time stamped. 

First Ben runs us through his Top 10 Best of 2019 list before we move on to the follow awards, where we each have our own winners and runner ups; 

• Best Moment or Sequence

Happy New Year! In celebration, come listen to Joe and Jamison whine and complain about all the bad video games of 2019! This will, hopefully, be the first and last of these we ever do. 

:D

Us: 2019 was such a bad year for games!!!

Also us: Here is the longest “Best of” chat we have ever done.

Please also feel free to share your lists and thoughts on the year!

The year may be winding down but the boys never stop talking. This time we've got lots of RPG chit chat, VR and Half-Life excitement, and more!

The longest episode of anything ever released by us is here! Join Jamison and Joe alongside special guests Ben and Dawson for discussion of Modern Warfare, Outer Worlds, over two hours of Death Stranding talk, and Jedi Fallen Order. 

There is a spoiler section in here where we chat freely about Death Stranding. You can find the timestamps below and there is also a substantial warning in the audio itself before the spoilers start.

Fall season is upon us but we've not been playing the big AAA fall releases because this was recorded before they were out! Ben has played... a bunch of things including Divinity Original Sin 2. Jamison has played... a bunch of Apple Arcade games. Joe has played... the... Ghostbusters re-release? What is he doing? I don't know anymore. 

What did we talk about in this episode again? I cannot remember. We might have recorded it weeks ago and I forgot to upload it. One thing I know for sure is, we discussed video games. 

Finally good videos are discussed on this over-long, sort-a review podcast!

Control - 1:30

Gears 5 - 55:20

Borderlands 3 - 1:20:30

We're back with a normal episode during this sleepy, sweaty summer. What even is there to play right now? Oh, Mario Maker 2 you say. Oh! OH! Ok, summer is saved. 

(also destiny)

E3 is dead! Long live E3. 

It was another weird and disappointing E3 and that means Ben, Joe, and Jamison are here to discuss it. Be sure to stick around to the end, at a certain point in the show we have a very special guest appearance! (its keanu reeves, we got keanu on this world class podcast)

See you next year, E3. Maybe.
