Welcome to Episode 39 of Fireside Game Chats! I return from my two week long poop for me and Jesse to continue our conversation, focusing on 2025's Arc Raiders. This one is a bit different because I have never played or seen Arc Raiders, so Jesse leads the discussion to convince me to play it. Enjoy!

Welcome to Episode 38 of Fireside Game Chats! Long time listener and my top 0.001% fan, Jesse, rejoins me at the fire to talk about the games we've played, wish we played in 2025, and the ones we're anticipating for 2026. I try to keep episodes listenable regardless of when you listen to it, but I wanted to put a focus on my first full year of Fireside Game Chats and those games I've been playing alongside life. Enjoy!

Welcome to Episode 37 of Fireside Game Chats! The "good" BioWare games journey continues with the first Mass Effect game. This game is one of my top 10 of all time, so I feel like I can never do it justice in an episode, but damn it, I tried! Don't get caught off guard with all of the blue alien sex you could be having. Enjoy!

Welcome to Episode 36 of Fireside Game Chats! Following our chat about Knights of the Old Republic, we're continuing onward with discussing "good" BioWare games with a focus on 1998's Baldur's Gate and 2005's Jade Empire. Join me as I discuss ancient D&D and hidden Chinese secrets. Enjoy!

Welcome to Episode 35 of Fireside Game Chats! In today's episode, we're covering my birthday memories related to video games, potato chips, and Japanese horse racing. Enjoy!

Welcome to Episode 34 of Fireside Game Chats! Following my "Bad BioWare Games" episode, I'm taking a crack at a "good" BioWare game, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. This one is quite a journey through decades of me attempting to play through this title. Enjoy!

Welcome to Episode 33 of Fireside Game Chats! John leaves the caravan to talk to me about one of our favorite games of all time, the tactical RPG for the Sega Genesis, Shining Force II. We geek out about this hardly ever talked about video game that has a special place in our hearts. Enjoy!

Welcome to Episode 32 of Fireside Game Chats! My older brother, John, joins me to complete the sibling trifecta. Coming off of the episode with Kristin, I decide to take a different approach with John by talking more generally about our history of gaming together rather than going right into a specific game. If Tom Hanks can understand it, so can you! Enjoy!

Welcome to Episode 31 of Fireside Game Chats! For this episode, I'm covering Need for Speed games I have played. This is a vast series, but I have only played two games, Most Wanted and Undercover. Join me as I navigate the L.A. smog, yellow tints, and go vroom vroom into a genre I'm not too familiar with in a way only Dom Toretto could be proud. Enjoy!

Welcome to Episode 30 of Fireside Game Chats! In the season finale as we start dropping into the 30's, I go into the nitty gritty details of the lists and spreadsheets I use to track my gaming habit. After covering the behind the scenes of my mind, I take you down into my basement and walk you through my collection of physical games and how I have my bookcases set up. Enjoy!
