Hope you like two dudes talking about video games, because this episode is full of that! So many games! Borderlands 2 is a masterpiece, and we just got reminded of it. Tails of Iron is a sweet sweet game, that brought Emil to start his Souls journey, Starting with Demon Souls. Jens has had a terrible migraine week where he started to get worried about his health. Luckily is better now and he has played more relaxing games like Uncharted Drake's Fortune, Ni No Kuni and Dragon Quest 8.

On the newsfront, Ark Survival Evolved and Ark 2 had a backlash recently, where it sure was scammy approach.. Playstation 4's DREAMS is ending its live-service support in September. Redfall gives a bad example, releasing only with 30 FPS mode on Xbox Series consoles. And ASUS announces a new Steam Deck competitor. What will it cost? Probably over a 1000 USD.

We also share our excitement for Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, curiousity for Immortals of Aveum, a FPS with no guns, only magic. And Hyper Light Breaker looks super sweet!

Oh man! This episode barely happened, but we pushed through and here is a new episode for you to enjoy! Since our schedueles has been quite busy we came upon the topic when games becomes therapeutic for us. Since one of us managed to get through a busy work week with a lot of stress, gaming then became a relaxation method to rest between work shifts. And it works! So we discuss games that could work as therapy for us. Do you have any go-to game that makes you relax?

Other than that on the newsfront a lot of showcases happened, Starfield is alive and coming this Autumn.  

We also talk about our first impressions of Atlas Fallen and Hyper Light Breaker gameplay trailers. And lastly Hogwarts Legacy is getting a little stale and Atomic Heart missed the mark.

New format! Well notreally, but we thought this time around we would not do a main topic or episodetheme for this episode. Instead we just talked and kept the conversationflowing and natural. Hopefully it became something entertaining to listen to!Let us know otherwise.

Time to be relevant! Since both Jens & Emil are currently playing the new game, Hogwarts Legacy, we thought it would be a perfect time to talk about our first impressions of the game. 

Are we enjoying it? Is there some stuff we don't like? Will we finish the game, or get bored after a while Hear us talk about everything that we think so far with over 20 hours of playtime. A lot of first impressions I dear to say. 

All in all however, a pretty good game. Are you picking it up?

Other on the newsfront we mention the lastest Nintendo Direct, discuss Xbox Game Pass and are talking alot about workout. So maybe we should start a gym podcast called Gymlanders! Whatcha thiunk about that?

Oh man, how will it go with one co-host currently in Florida? Well take a listen and find out!

This episodes theme is us sitting down reminiscing gaming back in the day and comparing it to have it is today. Back then vs Now so to speak. What did we like about the past? What do we like about now? Is modern gaming in a bad place? So many questions, so little time! So take a listen won't you, and hear our opinion on today's gaming industry. Damn boy, back in my day...

On the newsfront! Microsoft Activision acquisition gets more opponents, also laying of 10,000 employees. Ubisoft cancels three unannounced games and delays Skull and Bones (again!) and so much more.

Lastly, Emil is enjoying sunny, warm Florida, Jens complains about the weather in rainy, cold, grey Norway. We also played some cool games.

It's time yet again, to sit down and tell you what the best games we played in the year 2022 are. We do it a bit differently, where we don't take release year in consideration when we rank these games. Any game can be in our best games list, because we played them in 2022. So you'll see some suprises, but maybe not? Some of us has been quite relevant this year. Our lists also contains honourable mentions and games we missed this year. So plenty to listen to!

We also cover the recent Game Awards 2022. The winners, the announcements, you name it! And cover the last games that will release this year as a last bonus. 

Hopefully you will enjoy this episode.
