  • Slay the Spire 2 (2026) *EARLY ACCESS*

    Hey we're going to be a Monday show for a while! I've been working on some format changes in the background for both OGA and SCPT so that's been causing delays and other things but we're gonna be switching our release days since I don't have anything that comes out on Mondays and tbh it's just better for me this way. This week Me, Jamie, and EJ talk about Slay The Spire 2 which is essentially going to ruin productivity in this country once and for all! Also we talk about Heavyweights again.

  • Mega Man X3 (1996) {We also talk a little Resident Evil 9}

    Hunter and Jamie are back on the couch to go on kind of a lot of wild tangents, prepare yourself for that kind of episode. We do talk a lot about Mega Man though, generally and then also specifically MM X3 so check it out! Also sorry about the lack of episode last week I've been having a weird time in my life!

  • Baby Steps, Cairn, and more Peak (2025 and 2026)

    Sorry it's been a minute since you got more content that I know you crave but Hunbun got the flu so his butt was out of commission. This week I've got EJ over and we're talking about three different games that are all about climbing, climbing is the new jumping. Jumping is dead.

  • 2026 Preview

    Jamie Carbone is back on the couch with Hunbun, this time we're going to talk about games we're excited to play in 2026! Obviously take this all with a grain of salt, games never actually come out when they are announced to.

  • Ranking David Lynch's Filmography

    We took a week off for the holidays but actually Hunter, Shelton, and Chris Felton (Who you will remember from the Space Ghost episode) met up to record a way too long sendup of one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. In this episode we rank every David Lynch feature and each season of Twin Peaks in chronological order! Obviously this doesn't have anything to do with video games but hey don't worry about it, consider this an unasked for New Year's day present!

  • Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness (1995)

    Hunter and Exothermic are back in the saddle talking about Blizzard's foundational RTS classic, Warcraft 2!!! There's also a fair bit about the Supreme Court of the United States and also the Game Awards. I guess you could say this podcast has a little something for everyone.
