This week, Jen makes her first official foray into dad joke territory, making Josh a proud cohost, while Dan and Ben can only gag. The anticipation for the SNES Classic is building as release draws near, but the crew is still mostly focused on Destiny 2 and the excitement of raiding and nerdy background lore.

Tune in this week for your four favorite anglers' updates on the most anticipated release of 2017: Fishing Planet!!!    ...oh, and that Destiny 2 thing. They may have talked about that. Jen, Ben, Dan, and Josh share their first impressions and comparisons to the first Destiny - and there's a spoiler session after the end theme, so stay tuned for that (or don't, if you don't want spoilers. You have been warned)!

On this week's episode, Josh drops a bomb on Jen, Ben, and Dan - the most anticipated game ever, Fishing Planet, is free to play on PSN and Steam! There's much hype for Destiny 2, which is almost here and everyone can taste the excitement! The crew chats about tragic events from their past gaming collections and experiences, and Jen gets to be proud that she's pulled Dan into yet another series of games: Ys! (Don't worry, we tell you how to pronounce it during the show.)

This week, Ben gives us the lowdown on some of the new and exciting things coming to Destiny 2, and talks about a creative alternative to the hard-to-find SNES Classic. Jen drools excitedly over the Secret of Mana remake while Dan shakes his head at her stubborn Diablo 3 attitude, and Josh tells dad jokes like only Josh can (Banuki Mario...smh). The crew also chats strategy guides - with some interestingly differing opinions.

This week on the podcast, our four heroes are experiencing some truly hardcore rage about this whole SNES Classic preorder situation. Jen, Ben, and Dan are all playing almost the same list of games, while Josh has been playing Nidhogg 2 and having an existential dilemma about what to play post Doom. And how about that Fishing Planet demo, huh???

This week, Jen, Ben, Dan, and Josh are delving into the topic of Gaming Comfort Food (i.e. old games that we still love to revisit). They're also talking Dead Cells, Undertale, and Nidhogg 2 in all its gibberish-inducing glory.

This week, missing member Dan joins the show to round out the Hardcore Casual crew along with Jen, Ben, Josh, and the unofficial fifth member, Josh's new microphone. There's much talk of the New 2DS XL and Monster Hunter 4, and an entire segment dedicated to the resurgence of the awesomeness that is everything Final Fantasy.
