Filthy Casuals with Tommy Dassalo and Ben Vernel

Good evening everyone and welcome aboard flight FC252 direct to Podcastopia. My name is Adam and I will be managing your cabin crew for this flight, your captain today is Tommy, and also the name of this plane is Ben. Your flight time today should be around 57 minutes and 19 seconds. Today's flight will also include discussion of Epic's antitrust lawsuit against Apple and Google, first impressions of the full release version of Factorio, and much more. Thank you for coming out and supporting live in-flight entertainment, another big round of applause for your MC (Mister Captain), and please remember to take your glasses (suitcases) back to the bar (off of the plane). Flight attendant joke cliches are here, here, here and here. Thank you for choosing to podcast with Filthy Casuals and please have a safe and enjoyable whatever you are doing whilst listening to this.

Despite the fact that we announced this episode description many years ago, and recently heavily promoted that it would be released alongside Episode 251, our flagship episode, we have made the difficult decision to delay this episode description into 2021. We will use this extra time to make the episode description the best it can possibly be, and we appreciate our loyal fans giving us understanding in these difficult times. The episode will still be released as scheduled, but without a description to go with it, you may be wondering what the point is. We have thousands of descriptions already available, and this episode of Filthy Casuals is backwards compatible with all of them. Thank you all very much, and we will see you for the launch of Filthy Casuals Episode 251’s Episode Description in 2021! Stay safe. Tommy, Ben and Adam.

In accordance with podcasting tradition, we celebrate our 250th episode with the customary "several lists of things that relate to the number two hundred and fifty". It is a ritual as old as podcasting itself (around fifteen years), and we are proud to follow in the footsteps of our forebears, the first podcast to have reached its 250th episode: Four Bears. It was a podcast where four bears growled about salmon. A true testament to the fact that literally any podcast can make it to 250 episodes. Here's to 250 more! And the 17 more after that, and then that's probably it. Our fifth birthday is coming up soon, so we'll probably do a little something for that, but for now thanks for listening everyone!

Completely two-dimensional, horrific and disgusting, and underwhelming in spite of a lot of promise. Am I describing the three things mentioned in the title of the episode there, or is it a funny description of the personalities of Tommy Dassalo, Ben Vernel and Adam Knox? That's right, it's both! I've managed to perform a little bit of wordplay here in this episode description, and the world is all the richer for it. It's truly this sort of fun which can be had with the English language that makes the world's most popular dialect! I've not really looked into the reasons why so many people speak English, but I'm assuming that's the reason, anyway. Surely it's not a darker reason than that, right? Also some Nintendo leaks.

Tommy, Ben, Adam

Three podcast hosts, not poets

Still, they write haikus

Maybe they shouldn't

Perhaps it's disrespectful

But it's too late now

This week in review

The game Ghost of Tsushima

It's okay, not great

This week the boys are joined in Melbourne lockdown by friend of the show, comedian and radio host Nick Cody! Cody joins the lads to chat about some of his favourite games and his recent descent into regular gaming life, and the boys touch on the Ubisoft Forward event, video game-related topics for talkback radio, and they even talk about little-known Nintendo game Breath of the Wild (briefly)! Knox gives his thoughts on puzzle game Superliminal, and the boys get excited for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Bit of a grab-bag with a good friend of the boys. Hope you enjoy!

The boys are back in lockdown in old Melbourne town, so it's time to talk Backgammon. Tommy's been playing 51 Clubhouse Games (real name 51 Worldwide Game in Australia but no way we're calling it that), as well as Persona 5 Royal alongside Ben, and Adam's been slugging away at the Souls series. Hope everyone's ok with a few more weeks of Zoom calls from us, because it is the law. Special intro music was made by a listener named Sam who has some music up on Spotify under the name Luma.d, check them out!

The boys chat some news this week, including the Night City Wire stream and previews of Cyberpunk 2077, and then give you an hour long sealed section where they go mask off on The Last of Us Part II. It's clearly marked and separated but there are full spoilers in that section, so please be aware of that. They are only contained in that last section though, and we give a lot of warning. Enjoy!

This week the guys hunker down in an abandoned hospital, gathered around the light of a flickering torch, sharing the crumbs of a half-eaten chocolate bar, rubbing each other for warmth, to give a full and comprehensive review of the new Smash Bros Ultimate DLC character Min Min. Additionally, the boys chat the end of Mixer, Crash Bandicoot 4 and give SPOILER FREE thoughts on The Last of Us Part 2.

It's back to Tommy, Ben and Adam's regularly scheduled podcasting, and that means talking about the news roughly one week after it's happened. We go through and chat PS5 thoughts, as well as a quick round-up of what games we got into during the history of video games series. It's good to be back, baby. Time to pop those collars for an authentic PS5 look, and listen to some Filthy Casuals!
