Fine Time

Steve and Andre have a nice chat about every man's favorite activity, passed down from father to son: watching stylish action movies with a high body count. They talk about their favorite scenes, lore, characters and kills of the John Wick trilogy up to this point, and where it can go from here. Rated R for graphic bloody violence throughout, and pervasive strong language.

This time we talk Ghostwire: Tokyo, Steve's PS5 adventures, Inside, Phoenix Wright, House of the Dead Remake, Taito's home console ports via City Connection, Capcom Arcade 2nd Stadium, figureheads and spokesmen past and present for game companies, and a Horizon: Forbidden West discussion at the very end for easy skipping if you want to avoid spoilers. Enjoy!

Our topics today include Kirby and the Forgotten Land, early impressions of Ghostwire Tokyo, old Tony Hawk's Pro Skaters, the end of Dragalia Lost, the new PlayStation Plus tiers, Gran Turismo 7 review bombing, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC, house rules, video game opinions we were wrong about, preachy music, and a Xenoblade: Future Connected spoiler discussion which is at the very end if you want to skip. Enjoy!

What happens when two guys who know nothing about Kingdom Hearts decide to play Kingdom Hearts 3 as their first one? An absolute disaster, that's what! In this wild experiment for the ages, Iisten to Andre and Vin yell, cry, scream, cuss and laugh at the menagerie of sight of sound that was somehow called a video game. Was this a podcast, or a therapy session? You decide!

The guys talk about Gran Turismo 7, Demon's Crest, Beyond Oasis, Pokemon Brilliant Diamond / Shining Pearl, StarFox, Sony's excellent State of Play last week, Perfect Dark remake's development troubles, a game of 'Capcom, Taito, Or Sega?', predict future announcements with some friendly betting, games that blew us way when we first saw them, and even more! Enjoy!

Kevin is joined by Stockton as they take a trip down memory lane about their formative years of playing educational games on PCs at school, the early days of using the internet, gaming at home with the late 90s and early 2000s classics, cereal box software, graphics cards and peripherals, internet Flash games, and other fun stuff in this All-Canadian bonus content.

The boys discuss Horizon Forbidden West, Babylon's Fall, Megaman X5, the online beta test for Nintendo Switch Sports, Capcom Fighting Collection, Call of Duty taking a year off, the ongoing Intellivision Amico saga, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, what game preservation is and isn't, JAV Titles: Real or Fake, and Unpopular Gaming Opinions makes a return!

Whips! Mummies! Skeleton Athletes! Belmont BDE! The dynamic duo of Dre & Trey get deep into their love for Castlevania by exploring last fall's compilation, Castlevania Advance Collection.
