Lowered Expectations

We're back and worse at scheduling than ever. In this episode we have a very measured and reasonable discussion about Humble Games' 2021 bullet hell RPG Archvale! At least until an overserved cast member shows up to lower the brow a bit.

In the second half we answer a fan question, chat about how important small details like cosmetics in a cutscene are to us in what we play, and discuss the merits of capitalisms with a level headedness rarely seen. Eat the rich!

This time around we check our brain cells against Pillow Castle Games' 2019 puzzler Superliminal. Listen in to find out if this mind bending game had an effect on our perspective.

For topics this time we shared the series we wish survived their poor releases, creative weapons that stuck with us, and the pros and cons of more and more titles including cross platform play for multiplayer!

After a brief Summer break we're back to your regularly scheduled programming with our reactions to Eidos-Montreal's 2021 action-adventure Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. After a couple years of scorn does Lane finally get redemption for stanning that garbage Avengers game? Tune in to find out!

In the second half discover the risk of being topical as we cover recent events like Fortnite dropping a no build mode and the brand new smash hit Elden Ring! You can always count on the LE crew to be at the forefront of gaming news.

Hear how a bunch of Master Chief stans felt about the latest chapter of his saga Halo: Infinite. We talk about the ups and downs this title has to offer and how it stacks up both as both a shooter and as a Halo game in general.

In the back half we cover topics including the most fun we've have had playing games in ways the developers did not intend.

Back 4 Blood dropped with plans to turn nostalgia into sales, but was this FPS out of Turlte Rock studios able to recapture the Left 4 Dead magic for a bunch of dudes who gave Noam Chomsky the ride of his life a decade ago? We give our verdict in the first half this month.

Afterwards we take turns chatting about games past we think deserver a proper reboot, which things about gaming trigger us the most, and games we expected to love but wound up hating.

Welcome welcome to our Game of the Year episode for 2021! We gathered to chat about games we played this year (not necessarily released this year) that stuck out as the cream of the crop. Favorites from episodes past make their triumphant returns alongside the solo endeavors that blew our minds!

Afterwards we go back and forth on the most badass moments we've ever experienced in gaming, which game or franchise has the GOAT soundtrack, and our gaming hot take for the year.

A sincere thanks to anyone listening through a year of various quality and consistently low results! At least we tell ya in the title ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

After we name the gaming moments that terrified us the most, roast each other while describing our favorite comfort food games, and then bring it back in for a chat about the multiplayer games we most love to play with friends. We also want to give a HUGE shout out to Kristie for our first ever fan question!!

It's a sequel! Get ready to get spooky with us as we delve into The Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope for our 2nd annual Halloween episode. Man of Medan was universally praised by the boys, so how does the witchy town of Little Hope follow up?

In the back half we woke up and chose violence, as discussions about game genres we can't stand and the first games that made us truly rage abound!

Finally! It took us eleven episodes but we have finally found a game that everyone was frustrated by. Join us as we discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly of The Ascent, a solo and co-op action-shooter RPG that comes so close to being good.

After all the whining we also discuss our all-time favorite gaming waifus, great games we couldn't finish, and more!
