Game Time With Manny

It's business as usual this week as we chat about a bunch of Sony related news and some cool Pokemon stuff. Make sure you listen to the what we've been playing to hear all about the not so great KFC visual novel and out feelings on Zelda 2...

We finish off with a whole bunch of Link's Awakening talk. If you're sensitive to spoilers about the ending you can find the time stamp of when we talk about that below!

This week we focus a bunch on the various news stories of TGS, especially all the Death Stranding gameplay. Some other random stuff gets thrown in as well before we move on to the games we have been playing.

Due to not wanting the podcast to be 3 hours long we opted not to do a third part this week.

After we talk at length about the games we've been playing we have just enough time to pull a topic from the snowman's head, so we chat a bit about Kid Icarus Uprising.

After over a month we finally hit my ideal target for podcast length again. We're in the midst of a summer lull, so Matt played a bunch of random stuff and I didn't really play anything. Despite the fact that new releases haven't been popping off, Gamescom has gifted us all sorts of news, so we talk about that a bunch!

In this episode of our fine podcast we chat it up about Ninja leaving Twitch, hot Evo announcements, an ESA leak, and all the Pokemon you can handle.

There is no third part, because we went way too long on the news and what we were playing. Matt played a ton, while I only played a single game.

Join us on this riveting adventure as we discover the actual name of the new Wolfenstein game.

I found out seconds ago that I have been spelling Judgment wrong my entire life, but that's okay! In this episode as always we chat it up about the news, and the comically small amount of video games we have been playing. To top off the podcast we talk all about the plot of Judgment and spoil it in the most roundabout and convoluted fashion ever.

This week we only discuss the hottest news, specifically big Pokemon and Gamer Girl Bath water and then transition into what we've been playing (as usual).

For the third segment we've really been dropping the ball on picking topics, so Matt put a bunch of topics in a snow man's head. We will draw from that when we need a topic. For the inaugural Snowman head pick we got Street Fighter IV and we get VERY nostalgic and start to feel VERY old.

Last episode we only talked about E3 news. To make up for that we forgo any real topic and just chat about the news and the games we've been playing for the past month. Somehow it ends up being longer than the E3 podcast, but we have a lot of feelings.

E3 2019 has come and gone so it's time for us to talk about it. Get ready for us to talk about each press conference at length.

I apologize for yelling.

In this episode we chat a lot about the leaks and rumors leading up to E3, while throwing in some spicy announcements people threw out over the past few weeks.

After talking about the games we've been playing we take a look back at the past 6 months and see how good 2019 has been for games so far. It's like a 6 month review.
