We’ve (almost) all played the new season of The Walking Dead at this point so it’s finally time to share our thoughts on the series’ ever-waning success. But first we discuss the unfortunate(?) cancellation of Scalebound and Michael tells us all about his journeys throughout Japan in the soon to be released Yakuza 0.

We’re back and graciously joined by Mr. Jason Brown as we welcome in the new year. Our GOTY coverage will start next week, for now we largely play recap, discussing the different games that we each got caught up on over the holidays.

It’s our last podcast of the year and we have a lot of ground to cover before we go into hibernation. Lucio tells us about his new pet in The Last Guardian, Jared explains why Dead Rising 4 probably isn’t worth your time, Michael is as insightful as always (perhaps even more than usual) and Jay does everything in his power to drive the conversation completely into the weeds.

Thanks for spending 2016 with us. We’ll resume our regular schedule on January 4th.

On this week’s podcast we discuss, in great detail, a video game awards show that none of us could even be bothered to watch. The Last Of Us Part 2, Marvel Vs. Capcom 4, and Mass Effect: Andromeda are all on the table.

We spend the remainder of the episode attempting to sort out just what makes Final Fantasy XV’s homo-erotic overtones so endearing.

Still reeling from a Thanksgiving filled with sub-par goose flesh, we’re back this week to talk about games and stuff or whatever. First it’s time for our annual post-Black Friday tradition: Stabwatch. How did America shame itself this year with deal related violence? Come find out.

Jay tells us about his experiences with the hip new Pokemon game, and Lucio gives us a final verdict on Tyranny now that he’s completed it.

Can GameStop related improv be compelling? What happens when you dial 1-800-ENEMY-SLIME? Will Jay snipe this week’s free copy of Tyranny. Find out on this thrilling edition of the Enemy Slime Podcast!
