Game Time With Manny

We begin by chatting about our 2019 gaming goals before transitioning into news. Some exciting things happened like Bungie Splitting from Activision and more games coming to the Epic store.

Neither of us played much, but you can expect to hear about Detroit, Unravel 2, Kingdom Hearts 2, and Gears 4.

For the second half we decide to look forward into 2019 and see what games are headed out way!

As with every year the GOTY podcast id the way we end the year,

This time Matt, Scott, and I are the ones to share our top ten games of the year in descending order!

This year Matt and I decided to amp up the Game of the Year stuff and start doing categories as well. This will be in addition to our regular Game of the Year podcast that goes up in a few days. For this one we keep the regular format, but then transition into talking about ten categories and giving our top three games in each. We do our best to warn about spoilers.

We talk about a TON of games for the categories, so there will be no timestamps for those.

Before we get into all the cool announcements from those we talk about the 1700 games Matt played in a rapid fire style. We also chat about the Persona rhythm games and Smash Ultimate.

We finally hit the sweet spot of just around 2 hours I've been hoping for. It has been a relatively slow couple of weeks as far as news goes. However, we both played a bunch of stuff. For the second half we talk about our experiences with Pokemon Let's Go Eevee!/Pikachu!

After some time away I have returned with another episode of Project Top 10. This time I speak with my friend Gary who had some interesting choices for his top 10 games of all time. I did a poor job of guessing as usual, because I probably could have guessed at least one of them!

Join us as we count down his games from 10 to 1!

This episode got away from us a little and comes in at just under three hours. I am shooting for these to be 1-2 hours long, but we seem to keep going longer and longer. I promise the next one will be shorter. In our defense there was a ton of news and we got caught up in The Game Awards nominations for a bit.

For part 2 we talk about Marvel comics and its effect on everything.

This week we're coming to you a bit late, but boy do we have a lot to talk about. We hit you with the news first and talk about the Playstation Classic, Blizzcon, and the final Smash Direct.

We then transition into what we've been playing like Assassin's Creed Odyssey, Season 2 of Telltale's Batman game, the Missing and Delta Rune.

For Part 2 we sort of just talk about Pokemon as a retrospective on the series as a whole. We've both been fans for as long as it's been around and with the upcoming Switch release we thought it would be fun.

For this week's episode we didn't come up with a topic for the second half, so we go a little more in depth when talking about crunch in the video game industry and our time with Forza Horizon 4. Outside of that we ramble a bit about Obsidian, PSN messages, and Super Mario Party!

I wanted to shoot for an hour podcast, but we can't seem to pull it off. So welcome to our 1 and a half to two hour podcast! Woooo!

We chat about the new Pokemon Meltan, and the possible Harry Potter MMO before moving on to the heart breaking closure of Telltale Games.

Following the news we chat about various games we played such as Dragalia Lost, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Dragon Quest 11, Mega Man 11, and Forza Horizon 4.

In the final segment we shift gearsd and talk about the things announced at the Tokyo Game Show we found to be cool.
