We're drafting yet again! Join Aaron, James, and three returning guests from the Game & Watch draft crew as they select games from the year all five of them made the transition from high school to college. In 2007, there were single player experiences aplenty, but there was also no shortage of multiplayer madness. This was also the year that launched some major franchises that changed storytelling in gaming. Listen in to find out if some of your favorites from this year got selected!

“Are those pussywillows?” This one is for all the moms out there. Happy Belated Mother’s Day from Aaron, James, and a delightfully unhinged Kathleen Turner! Join us as we discuss the John Waters’ 1994 dark comedy cult hit. Does she need a lawyer? Does she need an agent? What even IS satire anymore? Questions abound on this episode - listen with your mom and enjoy!

“All worlds begin in Darkness and all so end. The heart is no different.” Friendship, hearts, and too many zippers - we’re back in the (many) lands of Kingdom Hearts! But which of the numerous worlds in the mainline series deserve the most praise? The most hate? What makes for a strong world in this “storied” franchise? Come listen and find out Aaron and James’ Top and Bottom 3 Kingdom Hearts Worlds! And stay tuned near the end of the episode for an existential question about the series itself.

Hey, you! Yes, you! Do you find repetition meditative? Do you enjoy a challenge? Does unlocking a new item give you that sweet dopamine rush? Do you have an addictive personality? If you answered yes to most or all of those questions, roguelikes might be the genre for you! This week, Aaron and James are joined by a very special returning guest to dissect the modern roguelike genre and explore just what makes it so damn appealing. Then, they share their top three favorite roguelikes. Just one more run, I swear!

"You are a convict, tasked with exploring this anomaly, in a makeshift submarine nicknamed The Iron Lung. It was not designed for this depth, so you will be welded inside and the forward window will be closed. There was no time for training. If successful, you earn your freedom." This week, Aaron and James tackle a divisive indie horror game and, uh, let's call it a "submarine simulator." Not everything works about it, but we were impressed nonetheless and are glad developers are taking big swings like this.

"The SA-X. An enemy with my strongest abilities. But does it have reason? Probably not. It's just a killing machine. In my current state, I can't face it head-on. The SA-X is me, only heartless. I must stop it before it learns its potential and threatens the universe." This week, Aaron and James gush over an excellent entry in the Metroid series and one of the best GBA games out there. That isn't to say there is only praise thrown at the game, however. Is its linearity a refreshing break from the more-open entries in the series, or a choice that oversimpifies things too much? This, and much, much more in another great episode!

Everyone knows Zelda games feature some great dungeons -- from theme and aesthetic to head-scratching puzzles ... but how practical are they? This week, Aaron and James and a very special guest discuss the practicality and feasibility of each dungeon as a place. Would only Zora's go to worship in Ocarina of Time’s Water Temple, or was it designed for human use too? Does Snowpeak Ruins feel more like a realistic manor home, or more of an excuse to string some puzzles together? Tune in for some thought-provoking debates and our personal head-canons for most of the dungeons in 3D Zelda games!

“He doesn't like sharing his toys. Even the ones he doesn't want to play with any more.” Join Aaron and James this week as they discuss a Barry Keoghan (Kee-OH-Gan) and Jacob Elordi-led romp through the English countryside. What do you get when you fill a manor home with rich, horny, terrible people? You get this movie - for better or worse. But hey, at least it features a deliciously scene-stealing Rosamund Pike! Grab your bath water, wash off that grave dirt, and give this episode a listen!

“You guys didn't like Kyle. That's okay. I didn't either. I loved him. He was my son. But he was also a douchebag.” Join Aaron and James this week as they take a look at this oft-overlooked Robin Williams dark comedy. Could this be the darkest material they’ve ever covered for the show? Could Kyle be one of the douchiest characters in all of film? And what does the legendary Bruce Hornsby have to do with any of this? Listen up and find out!

This weelk, Aaron and James invite the entire Game & Watch draft crew back to the show to select games from an absolute monster of a year. There was no shortage of incredible titles in 1998, including surprise hits from less-proven developers, underappreciated gems from seasoned vets, and some of the most groundbreaking games in beloved series that still endure to this day. So many games, in fact, that there were still plenty left after we took forty-two of them off the board! Listen in and find out who drafted your favorite game of 1998!
