We've got a full house on the podcast today as we chat about some fond memories of the Nintendo 64, finishing up Avowed, and maybe bouncing off of Assassin's Creed Shadows. We also spend the rest of the podcast fondly remembering our time with the Nintendo Switch before we see the Nintendo Switch 2!

This week we chat more about Assassin's Creed Shadows, getting down and dirty in Wreckfest 2, Disney Extreme Skate Adventure, trying to find cool mechs in Xenoblade Chronicles X, getting onto the speedrun charts of ET, and seeing if Mother 3 still holds up in 2025! We also chat about the possibility of two Nintendo Direct in the next week, a spinoff God of War game, Geoff Keighley starting a new publication, and many more stories and emails!

We've got Mike Drucker on BCR today to chat all about his new book "Good Game, No Rematch" and to also determine the Mt. Rushmore of First Levels.

This episode, we chat about the week's biggest release: Assassin's Creed Shadows! We also chat about Nubby's Number Factory, R.E.P.O., Star of Providence, and Little Nemo the Dream Master. We also chat about the biggest news stories of the week and get to your emails! Wu-Tang is Forever!

Jan and the GBKidz are in the house to chat about card games, whether or not UNO rules are terrible, and we crown the Mt. Rushmore (or... Hokage Rock?) of co-Op Games!

We've got some news to share this week! This Thursday we're unveiling the Power Block, a block of streams throughout the week along with a new name for Game Mess Mornings: Game Breaking News! Hope to see y'all there!

We end the week talking about The Thing Remastered and where games could have deviated, the insanity that is the whole YuGiOh franchise, some more thoughts on Monster Hunter Wilds, and Men's YuGiOh as well!

This week we're hunting monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds, checking out a whole bunch of demos from the Steam Next Fest, Driving is Hard, and going back to skating in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1+2.
