Mostly Normal Gamers Podcast

James and Chris team up to discuss Elden Ring end boss woes.  Chris has been checking out the cozy Calico game and discusses his thoughts after completing Citizen Sleeper.  James has playing Fallout 2 and gives us an earful on his thoughts on every other Fallout.  We discussed the plethora of tactics games coming out this year including those that got delays, Arc System Works wanting to work on a western IP, and a uncovered secret two player mode in Super Punch Out!! 28 years since the game launched!

Angie, James and Jon on this one.  Jon played a delightful 2D platformer/MetroidVania called Ender Lilies.  Angie jumped into life as Eivor in Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla and she’s also driving cars, presumably poorly, in MarioKart 8…or 9 or whatever.  James is playing Live A Live (we don’t know how to pronounce it either) and Legend of the River King.  We also talk about the banger of games coming to PlayStation Plus Essential in August and RockStars change in image.

Elden Ring has an end, right?  James and Chris are still trying to find it.  Angie finished TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge as Michaelangelo.  Will she go back and finish as Casey Jones?!  She also finished Forgotten City.  In news we cover the reported setting for the next Assassin’s Creed entry.  You can now play Doom inside of Doom which confirms we’re living inside the 2010 hit flick, Inception.  There’s a new Sega Mini console launching this fall.  Personally, I’m underwhelmed.  Lastly, is your Nintendo Switch trying to burn you alive?!

It’s the whole crew on this one!  James has finally rolled credits on Elden Ring just in time for From Software to announce they’re almost done with their next game.  Chris is chasing the dragon known as Hearthstone.  Angie is mentoring her nephew through a puzzle game called Tricky Doors.  Jon, well, we don’t think he plays video games anymore.  We also talk about some recent news and our experiences with terrible glitches

Summer Game Fest is upon us my friends!! Angie, Chris and James are at it this week.  Chris is a smart man.  I’ve always thought so.  With him being so smart he’s riding that Xbox GamePass train and playing Citizen Sleeper and Umurangi Generation.  Angie’s pretending to be a pirate in Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag.  Finally, James is finally getting around to playing Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. They also forecast the upcoming Game Fest show with some ridonkulous predictions

Lechonk!  Angie and James are holding down the fort this week.  James is giving Diablo Immortal a go.  It’s an always-online, mobile multiplayer that James is playing with randos…sounds like a certain type of hell to me so I commend him for trying it.  Angie is having a good time with Dead Space.  She’s also playing the OG Gears of War, the OG Zelda and Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag.  Angie is all over the place and it’s FANTASTIC!  They also do a deep dive on the PlayStation State of Play which begs the question: are we a PlayStation podcast now?!  No, we’re not.  Angie and Chris wouldn’t allow it.

We’re kickin’ it old school this week.  James convinced Jon to play turn-based RPG classic, Final Fantasy IX, and he’s actually digging it.  James dug out a DS and a copy of Atlas class, Contact.  Jon also completed a playthrough of Cyberpunk 2077 and his fruitless efforts at besting King Allant in Demon’s Souls.  We also talk about all the PlayStation news you can handle!
