John and Derek come together to spread the good word of SNES era JRPGs, and spoiler alert: Live A Live is a pretty unique one. Does Square's latest HD2D RPG soar or fall flat? You already know what John thinks.

With little on the way, multiple upcoming titles cancelled, and fan-favorite series nowhere to be found, we talk about the rough state Ubisoft's in and our expectations for the near future. Derek here, I'm not apologizing for that pun in the title.

Almost the entire SDGC gang shows up for a much needed chill and good news episode. Naughty Dog figures out how not to crunch, and Nintendo's Japanese arm stands up for queer folks. We're not used to being happy with the decisions of large corporations, but we'll take it.

We're joined this week by gaming PR legend Stephanie Tinsley as we hash out the good, the bad, and the ugly around the news that E3 will be returning next year. Also there's a story about a pirate movie.

It's a slim team this week as Derek, John, and Jeff go over the recent Nintendo partner mini-direct. If you can read the title, you have a head start on our basic thoughts.

We had an Xbox showcase, we had a Capcom showcase, we had a Final Fantasy showcase, we had a second Capcom showcase at the same time as the Final Fantasy showcase. This was a wild week, and we go over our highlights.

Britt, Finn, CJ and Justin are here to give you the scoop on what they thought of the exciting revival of arcade beat em ups - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredders Revenge.

This week's show is dedicated to discussing the latest edition of Summer Games Fest (Keigh3?), with a few big topics including Street Fighter 6, The Callisto Protocol, and The Last of Us Part 1 remake.

The title says it all, folks. After an extremely packed and satisfying 30 minute State of Play presentation, the crew is joined by friend of the show Cam Hawkins to talk about the biggest bombshells and give some love to the smaller ones.

We're joined by friend and frequent guest Cam Hawkins to talk about Jim Ryan's stupid fucking e-mail, FIFA splitting ways from Electronic Arts, and especially to spitball about what we think may and may not be hitting in the back half of the year.
