Fireside Game Chats

Welcome to Episode 46 of Fireside Game Chats! I'm back with a solo game episode talking about a game where you're never alone because you have your trust Pokémon with you! For this episode, I'm covering the mainline Pokémon games I have played, including Blue, Gold, Moon, and LeafGreen. Enjoy!

Welcome to Episode 45 of Fireside Tunes with Chops! Wait. Fireside Game Chats! For this special episode, I go through my origin story of being a radio DJ (DJ Mutton Chops) and how this all comes back to this podcast, though, without the chops. Enjoy!

Welcome to Episode 44 of Fireside Game Chats! On our final episode (for now) covering The Legend of Zelda, Kyle returns to talk about his all-time favorite, Ocarina of Time for the Nintendo 64. We journey back to our youth to unearth memories from this never forgotten gem. Enjoy!

Welcome to Episode 43 of Fireside Game Chats! The Legend of Zelda train keeps on rolling, but with a new guest, Kyle! Similar with the previous episodes with Bill, we start our conversation with an older Zelda title, in fact, the oldest and first in the series, The Legend of Zelda. Enjoy!

Welcome to Episode 42 of Fireside Game Chats! Me and Bill continue our conversation around Zelda, but bring it more modern with Breath of the Wild. We discuss how much we like and dislike this particular entry into The Legend of Zelda franchise. Enjoy!

Welcome to Episode 41 of Fireside Game Chats! I bring in someone I met during a job interview, Bill! Me and Bill go way back as we built our relationship through the fire of bonding over working together for many years. Bill is a big fan of The Legend of Zelda series so thought it appropriate to bring him on to talk A Link to the Past. Enjoy!

Welcome to Episode 40 of Fireside Game Chats! For our special episode, I pivot the conversation to "Battle Royale" the movie, novel, and manga. As with all things Fireside Game Chats, I do bring it full circle back to the "Battle Royale" genre of video games that was popularized with PUBG and the others that followed with Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Call of Duty: Warzone. Enjoy!

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!
