Gaming Tangents

First off, Menji would like to apologize for his weird skipping audio. I promise it won't happen again. In this episode however, we have a lengthy discussion about what we've been playing lately followed by a very entertaining challenge were we pitch terrible Hollywood-style Video Game movie adaptations. Not gonna lie, one of these ideas actually turns out to be pretty great!

Spooky time is here again! We're talking with scare actor extrodanaire, Rick Creeper, about this love for games, scary or otherwise! Come join us on a digital journey down the pixel-brick road with this horrifying haunter!

Maverick's throwing down the soap box and taking a stand as he finally let's Street Fighter V know exactly how he feels about it. Then a very in-depth synopsis on the finale of The Last of Us 2 and thoughts on the controversies surrounding the title. Get your maverick hats on!

This is the episode where we look at trailers. Trailers. Trailers. Trailers as I was gonna call it. But then I didn't. Xbox Series X presentation, Nintendo's Direct Mini, Ubisoft and, the best damned presentation on the planet: Devolver Digital. There's also more Last of Us 2 talk and Menji gives a bit of insidery news about the Midnight Ghost Hunt alpha test.

Last of Us 2 Spoiler Time Stamp: 13:32 - 18:30

Now! Finally! We talk about all the trailers that have dropped over the last month and boy, it's a doozy. But not before we wax philosophical on movies and TV. 

Last of Us 2 Spoiler Time Stamp: 30:30 - 37:40

It's E3 time which means normally the air would be palpable with hype and fresh trailers. Well, E3 is AWOL this year but the hype and trailers are in full effect. It's time to talk about the Playstation 5 reveal and the state of E3's future. 

We're back to finish off this 30 day music challenge and boy are our stomachs full of musical goodness. We now present to you 60 glorious songs for your listening enjoyment!

Despite the unrest of the world around us, we still want to be a place where people can escape to, for even a little while, and find some positivity which is what games are supposed to be for anyways. As such, we took this time to ponder over some things that make us truly happy: Video Game Music. After some lengthy discussion we delve into the first 10 days of the 30 music challenge. Well, technically we already delved into all 30 but the episode would've been just way too long.
