  • 28: Hardcore Scandaloots

    This week, we're delving into one of the current hot topics in the gaming world - lootboxes (cue dramatic music) and microtransactions. We're also chatting about the drama surrounding Nintendo's online service, and giving a quick mention to the newly announced Playstation classic. And there's a small debate about Zelda Breath of the Wild, because apparently Jen hates fun.

  • 27: The Sheets of Our Plants

    In the 27th episode of shenanigans, it's now playing all the way as the group talks a bit about World of Warcraft, Fortnite, and...wait...there must be a mistake, they're dabbling back in Destiny 2?? Dan's obtained a Switch, but otherwise it's business as usual except for that whole Destiny thing. (Shhh, don't be alarmed, but it actually seems like it might be promising this time...)

    Games mentioned:

  • 26: LF1M WoW Episode PST

    THIS IS WARCRAFT!!! No really, we talk a lot about World of Warcraft. From lore to closing thoughts on the Legion expansion and the MASSIVE HYPE TRAIN for Battle for Azeroth, we've got a lot to say. And since Josh is indisposed this week, we've got special guest Matt a/k/a Papawoot sitting in (this is the only way we were able to get away with a whole WoW episode. Sorry-not-sorry). 

    Games mentioned (LOL):

    • World of Warcraft
  • Hollow Knight
  • Very briefly, Overwatch

  • 25: The Office of Warcrack

    There's nothing quite like starting to write show notes and getting completely distracted looking up potential Overwatch themed cross stitch patterns. But that's completely unrelated to the show this week, which mostly ended up being our current games, with a healthy dose of tormenting Jam (you'll just have to listen). It's the usual hijinks with some Fortnite season 5 chatter, and a game you never expected to hear us discuss - World of Warcraft?????? Who even are we anymore?

    Games mentioned:

    • World of Warcraft
  • Fortnite
  • Octopath Traveler
  • Overwatch
  • Destiny 2 (wait, what?)

  • 24: mEh3 2018

    Well, it's that time again, when game developers trot out their best announcements and trailers to get all of our gamer panties in a twist. Or, more accurately...they make us all throw our backs out from cringing so hard. Either way, the gang is here to run down their favorite announcements and cringe moments from E3 2018! 

    Games mentioned:

    • Overwatch
  • Octopath Traveler (demo version)

  • 23: Alt+F4 at the Party

    This week we ask ourselves the ever present question, would these people even know a rail if it bit them on the butt? And the answer as usual, is no. But we're talking a lot of interesting stuff this week, with a healthy dose of now playing and a mini rant about the Battlefield V Controversy of 2018, and some Destiny 2 hype drain! Did I say drain? I meant train. Hype train. Obviously. Choo choo mother#&%*ers.

  • 22: G is for Cricket

    Ben's soundboard makes its triumphant, if oddly spelled, return in this episode as we run down our usual Now Playing offerings, with the usual amount of derailment. We pay a visit to the recent Monster Hunter Generations Jenultimate announcement for the Switch, but it definitely isn't a Dark Souls clone so please, stop saying that already!

    • Battlefield 1
  • Battlefield 4
  • Valkyria Chronicles
  • Stardew Valley
  • Ni No Kuni 2
  • Swords of Ditto
  • Helldivers
  • Nioh
  • Monster Hunter Generations
  • Rocket League
  • ...we should really just add a "usual suspects" listing for some of these

  • 21: Everyone Loves Soup

    This week, the gang is all here to talk their favorite parts of God of War, now that three out of four hardcore cazzies have finished the story (and Josh will get there, we're sure of it). There's hype for Red Dead and Jen has her usual way too long list of now playing games, which always has its share of entertainment.

  • 20: Kratos Leghorn

    Jen, Ben, Dan, and Josh are giving their state of gaming address (aka what's wrong with AAA titles right now) along with the usual antics and derailments. These notes would be longer, but honestly, there's God of War to play and that story isn't going to finish itself.

    Games mentioned:

    • God of War
  • Detective Pikachu
  • Ni No Kuni 2
  • Battlefield 1
