Game Boys Podcast

Welcome to the Game Boys 150th Episode Special, a rare reimagining of the podcast as something distinctly different than a co-op and multiplayer game podcast. In this episode each host leads an abbreviated pilot podcast episode of a show they'd be interested in producing if they weren't to busy doing the Game Boys Podcast! It all begins with Ryan's "Roll for Adventure," an actual-play D&D segment where Ryan acts as Dungeon Master for Alex and Tim in a mini campaign introduction. Then, Tim takes the other two to Transylvania for "Children of the Night," a look at lore, legends, myths, and monsters through the lens of particular pieces of pop culture. This week, things get batty as the trio uncovers the truth about vampires by looking at the 1922 classic Nosferatu and Bram Stoker's classic novel, Dracula. Alex wraps it all up back in the familiar territory of gaming, but as a game guide and advice show where the hosts answer gaming questions from around the internet regardless of if they've played the games or not in "Bro Strats." Listen in and let us know which segments you enjoy and they just might make a return! Enjoy this truly unique episode of Game Boys!

What happens when visuals and battle pass of Fortnite meets mechanics and gameplay of Monster Hunter? The internet gets real into it, apparently. This week the Game Boys are talking about Dauntless, the new free to play Monster Hunter competitor making respectably sized waves in the video game industry not quite on the scale of Fortnite and Apex Legends before it. Does Dauntless live up to the hype? Is this a legitimate hit or a passing fad? It's all on this week's Game Boys!

Last year, one of the Game Boys E3 predictions were spot on...only none of the predicted reveals were actually made at E3. This year, I don't see how any of these predictions could come true as the Game Boys come up with some truly horrendous ideas. Don't take my word for it. Enjoy the Game Boys' annual E3 prediction episode. After this dumpster fire, it's probably the last.

Open air, the woods, the lake, the cabins, the serial killer: this week the Game Boys are going to camp. But they're not camping just anywhere, no, they're going to Camp Crystal Lake, where all your (bad) dreams come true. That's right, this week's Game Boys is all about Friday the 13th: The Game. As slasher, horror fans pretty well familiar with the source material, how do the game boys feel about Jason's latest venture into video games? Are they too late to the now two-year-old game to get a good feel for it? What happens when the Game Boys are pitted against one another? Find out!
