Optional Boss Podcast

Josh and Tyler dive into some of their favorite games that spark nostalgia. Doesn't matter which system, how old it is or if it's deemed "Retro".

ToadieZzz has returns to guide Josh & Tyler through the second annual Bossie Awards.

First episode of 2024 and we are already looking back on 2023... sort of anyways. Reflection on the year past and we discuss the future and what 2024 may bring for us! Maybe this will be the year we can start sorting through our backlogs finally!

We also dive in for expectations and what we are planning for the podcast in the coming year as well!

Also new year means a new challenge, at the end of the episode we discuss the challenge title Josh and Tyler both had and we have now issued new ones for 2024!

The game awards have come and gone. Last episode we took a look at the nominations and took our best guess what who would win what. This episode we discuss the award winners and all the announcements that took place as well as rambled about the abysmal state of the awards show this year

The Game Award season is among us once again as Josh and Tyler ramble on about the 2023 nominations, make our best guestimates and once again skip 90% of the e-sports stuff cause they know nothing.

Josh and Tyler are trying something by the Fly of our Sheets, Critic the Critic is planned to be a new mini series (akin to the Mindies, Oops Just Ramble, Launch Years) where they break down game journalist's top tier lists and... well rip em apart, question them and criticize the critic. This episode is on IGN's Top 25 MUST play for the Gameboy Advance

It's been a few episodes without a classic Optional Boss List of launch titles so lets dive into the wonderful polygonal world that was the N64 and its launch titles.... ok the year and a bit because wow that launch year was short and small!

The world of game collecting is a weird and strange thing. Instead of wallowing in the fact Josh or Tyler cannot afford some neat old things, they ramble about them instead! Episode 26 we each picked 5-10 games and got the current price they go for as we try to guess their value while dropping a bit of a tid bit sized info dump on each title. Enjoy this episode now as it will age like milk!

1 Year of Optional Boss Podcast! We made it and it's only right to celebrate talking about one of our favorite games, Blasphemous. This episode we just stick to Blasphemous, aside from the intro rambles of course. Relatively spoiler free until the second half, we give you a good warning!

Todays episode is about limited print games from companies such as Limited Run Games, Special Reserve, Strictly Limited, Super Rare Games and many more. Being physical collectors that we are, we spent some time talking about where a huge portion of each of our libraries came from, how those companies are now and dive into a small talk about why collecting is fun for us!
