It's time for our first entry on the Every Wheel! A few months ago we spun the wheel for the first time and the Wheel landed on Darkest Dungeon (provided by Geomorgski). So we played it, got properly stressed, spooked, and frightened and now we're here to tell our tale. This rogue-lite tactical turn based RPG is a beloved gem for a lot of people and we're new to the party, so let's see how it fares.

The List So Far

1. Disco Elysium

It's another off topic week during our 2001: A Game Odyssey season and we're just relishing in nostalgia. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles had a handful of hit arcade games in the 90's and this year Tribute Games brought us a delightful throwback to the classic beat-em-ups. This game is full of style and a lot of jokes for fans of TMNT or Saturday Morning cartoons. But is this genre still relevant?

The List So Far

1. Disco Elysium

Matt is gone again so Hunter is joined by our dear friend Sun Sanders. Last time Sun was on the show, we talked about Skyrim, and he was robbed an earnest opportunity to rank a western RPG. So this time the two of them discuss Tom Hall's Anachronox and boy you're just going to love their criteria for ranking this game.

The List So Far

1. Disco Elysium

We're continuing our 2001 hiatus with Subset Games' Into the Breach. We love an indie game and we love an oft-overlooked genre, which means this little game is just screaming down OGA alley. Hunter describes it as a "perfect game," and it may take us a lot of time to decide what that's worth and how much of a tax it might be.

Matt's out this week, so Hunter sat down with show favorite Jamie Carbone (https://twitter.com/AJamieCarbone) to discuss Yakuza Kiwami, Xbox Gamerscores, and I guess the McElroy brothers. Yakuza is sure to be a recurring series on this show, so come get to know all of the characters, side quests, and minigames with us!

Happy Halloween! It's time for a proper spookin' so we played Silent Hill 2 and invited Matt's cousin Kimmy back on to talk about why it's one of her favorite games ever! Matt's unfamiliarity with the genre and Hunter's self-imposed psychological torment feature heavily as well for a game that wants to rise very close to the top of the list...

The List So Far

1. Disco Elysium

We're back into 2001: A Game Odyssey with Remedy's Max Payne. This game is full of the grit and cynicism of the 90s mixed with dreams of where storytelling and gameplay could go in the future. Where does it's legacy stand today? And how much shock and gore is too much?

The List So Far:

1. Disco Elysium

We get to take a quick break from our 2001: A Game Odyssey season for one of our off topic entries: The Secret of Monkey Islands. One of the most famous point and click adventure games ever, with a recently modern remaster. So does this game still feel "old?" And does it's oldness earn it higher or lower ranks on The List?

Here's a fun item on the 2001 season that is a game neither of us had ever played. It's a game with a legendary asymmetric multiplayer, and we sat down for a day playing with listeners over on our OGA Discord, having a blast! Let's see how well the ranking reflects that...

Thanks to all of the wonderful people who have come to show their support of this show, we quickly had to present you with this first Patreon Goal Bonus Episode. For helping us reach $100 a month, here is us, with EJ, ranking all of the video game consoles we've collectively played. IT'S REALLY LONG and the process we chose was not very good and we won't be doing it like this ever again. But it's a funny method that leads to a lot of unpredictable conversations. Enjoy!
