Happy Thump Day! In this week's episode, we are going to discuss some of the lesser known games that we've partaken in that may not get as much attention as the Final Fantasies, Mass Effects, Last of Us, etc. Let's talk about some weird stuff that we never hear about!

In this week's episode, the gang discusses minigames! Our favorites, what makes a good minigame, and why we haven't been seeing as many memorable minigames in more modern games.

In this week's episode, the gang discusses the upcoming generation of consoles. What our hopes, dreams, and opinions are on the upcoming Sony and Microsoft consoles, as well as games. We have to ask ourselves... is it worth? Well, let us work it. We'll put our thing down, flip and reverse it.

In this week's episode, we discuss cheat codes, and how they seem to be a thing of the past. Alas, but we will reminisce and talk about the good times and remember them fondly. 

In this week's episodes, we discuss what makes a game's story line good. And also what can make a game's story line bad. But mostly good, because we like to focus on the positive in this podcast!

This might not be the most timely episode, but we finally have a full episode of discussion about the Final Fantasy VII Remake. Or... about most of it. A lot of it focuses on the end, and one of our hosts gets pretty salty. You can hear it. ANYWAYS, let's talk about the game!

We all play games for different reasons. Some play for the competitive aspect. Some play for fun. Some play to experience stories. But there are some games you find yourself going back to just because they make you feel good. IN this week's episode, we talk about some of our favorite comfort games, that just make us feel nice when we play them.

This week, we do a deep dive into our experiences with games that we have played in the Alpha and Beta stages. There have been some good experiences, and there have been some bad experiences... can you guess the ratio on those though?

Welcome to a BONUS episode of JoyPad podcast! In this episode, 3 of our hosts dive headfirst into The Last of Us 2, which has been a polarizing game to say the least. We talk about what we liked, what we didn't like, and give our thoughts on this divisive title.

THIS WEEK'S EPISODE: Remember the little instruction booklets that used to come with games? We miss those little guys. Also, we're pretty sure that printed strategy guides still exist, but the existence of the internet has surely killed off most of those. Thanks, GameFAQS.
