Filthy Casuals with Tommy Dassalo and Ben Vernel

Whether it be Zelda or Leia, princess fans are sure to be satisfied this week as we talk about Tommy's hands on preview time with The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and Ben reviews his time with Star Wars Outlaws. If you're a fan of both princesses and surprising video game shutdown news then firstly: I guess it's good to know yourself that well but you have some incredibly niche interests, and secondly: yes we talk about Concord. We also chat PS5 Pro, why Adam doesn't like Argos, and a whole bunch more.

Arrange a time to listen to this episode of Filthy Casuals because quite frankly it's slay. Now that I've repelled people with my cringe use of slang (and a second time by using the word cringe), let me reel you back in by telling you that this episode we've played games like Arranger and Slay the Princess, talk news like Nintendo's latest partner/indie Direct, even more PS5 price increases, plus a ton besides. It's, quite frankly, on fleek.

Games? In Europe? Crazier things have happened! In fact, many crazier things, including us recording a podcast about the games being shown at Gamescom specifically. Video games were around for a long time in Europe prior to the advent of the internet, so my reasoning is that the existence of podcasts, one of the leading formats in this new era of digital media, is in fact crazier than the existence of games in Europe. I hope you can understand how I am seeing things. We talk crazy games like Civilization VII, Monster Hunter Wilds, Borderlands 4 and Mafia: The Old Country, as well as many more. Please enjoy this crazy event.

Thank goodness we're here this week, equipment functioning despite bodies still not so much. But we must talk about Thank Goodness You're Here, Minishoot Adventures, losses at Bungie, Game Informer and Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games, and a whole bunch more.

In this special Premium Episode, The Filthy Boys take on one of the most important, terrifying and complicated facets of the human experience: the construction of a top 10 list. How Letterman did it night in and night out we will never know. We respond to a listener question and lay out our 10 MUST-PLAY games in this MIGHT-LISTEN episode.

The reason we're releasing it on the regular feed in place of a normal episode? Basically Ben's recording fucked up, and Tommy's sick, and Adam is operating on Greenwich Mean Time. We've dropped this Premium Ep to tide you all over until next week, hope you don't mind! Send your good vibes to Tommy. Peace and love, peace and love.

We're over halfway through 2024, so it's time to take stock of where we've been, where it looks like we're going, and where we are right now. Where we are right now? Recording a podcast. That's one third of the topics covered. The others will include looking back at great games like Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, Dragon's Dogma 2, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, Balatro and more besides, as well as looking forward to games like Metaphor: ReFantazio, The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and more besides those too. It's been a crazy year, so thank goodness there have been some fun games to talk about. Have a listen to us do that, why don't you?

Something a bit special this week, as we've got a genuine world exclusive video game announcement and preview. We had to pull a lot of strings, but we've managed to land a no-holds-barred interview with video game designer Tommy Dassalo about his new game Super Dassalo Land for the Game Boy Colour. By the way, I'm writing this in sort of a silly way but this is 100% real. Tommy's been working on an honest to goodness video game and we talk to him all about it, its retro design inspirations, the process of creating it, and where does he get his ideas from. All of these hard-hitting questions and more on this week's episode of Filthy Casuals.

The Year of Luigi may have been many Dark Moons ago, but the big man in green is back and his definition is high enough that Tommy's gone in to have a look at what Luigi is up to in that Mansion of his. Less high is the definition of the Dwarves in Dwarf Fortress, but still higher than they used to be, and it's been enough to entice Ben to see what they're up to in that mountain of theirs. Kinitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is nearly out too, so we've had a look at what the demo could be up to in that games console of...its? We've got some games to play this week is what I'm saying, as well as some news out of Capcom and Sega about Crazy Taxi going massively multiplayer, Dead Rising going remaster mode and development of Resident Evil 9 going ahead. We talk about all this and more, so come have a listen to what we're up to in that podcast studio of ours.
