Nothing quite like getting hyped for something coming out soon(TM), but what if it never does come out? What if radio silence happens and we have no idea what's going on with the title? Or, in a more cheerful fashion, what happens if it does come out and lives up to its hype? Gaming Hype has taken over and Josh and Tyler discuss titles they are hyped for, where hype has killed anticipation, what hype has done to our wallets in the past as well! All this in another new rambly episode!

What really is retro when you talk about it in 2024? Josh and Tyler discuss about checking out titles we never got to back in the day and how archaic they can be to new comers who have never experienced what we know as retro. Do we give NES games slack for its jank because they are "retro" or are they legitimately good. There may be some bias in this video, we just wanted to talk old games

A sequel dynasty, or something. This episode Josh and Tyler dive into the topic of games that contain 2 (Two?) in it, so yes mostly sequels. But they try to emphasize those games of two that made drastic changes or swapped the formula around... crap we left out Helldivers. Games of Two everyone!
