IMPOSSIBLE COIN

Rocky, Tegan and Brian decide that the only appropriate follow-up to Jim Sterling and E3 coverage is to have on the dude who got them together in the first place. Impossible Coin welcomes SuperFamiCompLit's Joe Spiro to talk VR, crappy Kirby golf games and the cultural imperative of a Pokemon Go clone based on Bloom County. Tegan has had enough of Devolver Digital and everyone is sure that Brian put a picture of a dong in the show notes. He didn't. He put it in the Skype. Rocky still isn't in the Cobra Club but he is willing to hear about The Tearoom and VR is for exactly what you think it is for.

Starfox is a bad video game.

OKLAHOMA HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL RULES!!! The hottest video game podcast in Oklahoma digs in and reviews the bidness of E3. This involves all the hits include like Devolver's press conference, tearful Ubisoft moments and Janina Gavankar. Always Janina Gavankar. We cannot be held responsible lame drumlines, that Porsche moment and what passed for a Sony press conference. Getting engaged is better than a knife fight.

Tegan is out of office. She's at Colossalcon having a grand time while Rocky and Brian endeavor to hold down the fort. That was probably their first mistake as this is a podcast and not a fort. Hold that L boys. Thankfully, Jim Sterling hangs out for a bit and talks tabletop role-playing, Friday the 13th, changes at Steam and easy mode in Dark Souls and Monster Hunter. There is also considerable effort devoted to examining why werewolves suck and are not good. Basically fuck werewolves. After Jim heads out Rocky and Brian tumble headlong into the darkest timeline and discover that Square Enix has always and will always hate them and most other news is terrible. At least Pyre has a release date.

Hey all! The team has another banger for you. First they struggle with ideas like how to start the show or what the listenership should call themselves. Tegan totally gets us up to date on her con prep. Then Rocky buries the lead and totally mentions his harrowing car wreck as an aside. Once Tegan educates Brian on the finer points selecting a cat tree the team digs into business. Business includes gushing praise of Prey, Rocky's victory over Persona 5 and some full-on drooling over the Arms Direct. (Did you even see Thicctelle?) Bad Kickstarters, empty Splatoon boxes, virtual reality and the monsters at Square Enix dominate the news.

Hey jerks! No need to check your calendar this is normally an off-week for Impossible Coin but the crew wanted to get on record with their E3 predictions. Sure there are things that are always true about E3 but there are always a lot of moving parts and with opening to the public there are more so than usual this year. Join the gang as they discover that they care about EA. (Not like in a Love Actually way but they care.) They are pretty sure Microsoft will kill Will Ferrell and make a few predictions that are sure to disappoint them. (Mother 3, Beyond Good and Evil 2) Avoid Knack 2. Please.

What's up nerds? Rocky, Tegan and Brian get another episode out on time so you can't lord that over them. Not today. They talk about the frustrating video game Tumbleseed while a dog barks. Rocky explores his frustration and fear of furries. Tegan cautions against cosplay shaming despite rampant Tingle problems. Community gets invoked a few times and Chris Pratt has not apologized for Jurassic World. Tegan deep dives Call of Duty on an episode with a lot of Activision news. They explore some alternatives for Call of Duty including a fatal shoot-out using a meat slicer in a Jimmy Jangles. There was a fire fight!

Greetings podcast friends! Tegan, Rocky and Brian gather to discuss the newest, hottest jams. They also discuss The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild because some of them are incapable of escaping its grasp. The team has lots of hot takes in this episode and they take the time to come up with artisanal, handcrafted disdain for all of the things you love and hold dear. They insult people from Omaha, people who like The Fast and Furious and sandwich artists. Tegan also discovers that Gamergate is a verb when she gamergates. Join us as we take a tour through cockroach infested Playstations as Brian creeps toward death.

And Nintendo call Impossible Coin. They think they found your McRib.

Buckle up folks. This one is a certified, S-tier banger. No amount of artisanal show notes can prepare you for this oversized episode. Initially Tegan and Brian ride solo and discuss the finer points of finer theaters and agree on heavy penalties for theater texters. Then Rocky shows up and reveals that he is older and that people hit him because of that.

The gang digs into to what they have been playing. Spoilers, it includes more Zelda. They are covetous of Fierce Deity Armor, have a friendly disagreement over Persona 5 streaming, discover that the Xbox is personified by a shouting Will Ferrell and Rocky reveals that he is not in the Cobra Club.

Rocky and Brian attempt to wade through important issues while Tegan is out of office. They discuss how no one is happy with Mass Effect Andromeda, manufacturing variations, speed running, the soulful and confessional nature of malt liquor videos and deep dive the first season of The Good Place. Later they try to sort out why there is an increasingly large and colorful population of loudmouth jerks on YouTube and what, if anything, should be done about. It's heavy lifting to be sure. Finally, they dig into Breath of the Wild in an effort to determine which character is the thirstiest and if Gerudo trips to Pound Town are on the DL because Gerudo are super busy. Spoilers: they are.

Here's another episode coming right at you with some artisanal show notes. This time Rocky, Tegan and Brian discover the power of last names and hip-hop air horns. They spend more time digging into The Legend Of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Tegan also reveals herself to have an abnormal distaste for jazz while waxing nostalgic for peak anime. Rocky and Brian advocate for watching Get Out and the group comes down against YouTube stars who drink malt liquor in ski masks.

Some discussion is had around various recent things that Activision has screwed up. Nintendo's GDC presentation is picked clean and we determine that bad boyfriends don't buy flowers.
