  • 31. Wow Now

    Moses kicks off today’s pod with some elevator antics near the climax of Dark Souls 3, much to Paul’s muted confusion. After this, hey now, Moses is adding an All-Star collection to his list, (I’m actually sorry for that one) and he and Paul delve into their memories of Battle Game. Paul adds a colossal game to his own list, after which the two of them speak of would-be VR experiences and, well, the very weather itself.

    Later, as we continue Brother’s Week it’s time to meet the littlest member of Paul’s family. Mark Berberich joins us to talk about the effect that MMOs have had on his life, chiefly World of Warcraft, which he began playing in the prime of his childhood. Finally, the three of them must come up with a plan. A Bloodplan.

  • 30. Brother's Week

    This week Moses puts the "mo" in momentous, with his addition of a sequel to a beloved halving and living game, and Paul adds a quadrequel of his own.

    Moses then talks about a literal key to humility and Paul, kicking off brother’s week, asks Moses to tell him about his memories of him and his brother, and their shared gaming experiences. For our guest this week it’s none other than John, my younger brother John, and he’s here to examine the differences between him and Paul, how this translates to the games they love, and what it means for one’s identity as a gamer. He also brings a bit of music trivia and gentle trolling, as only a younger sibling can provide. The three of them then Make My Game, so make my day and give it a listen!

  • 29. Solid Jape
    At the top of today’s show Paul and Moses discuss language, including the shelf life of the words we currently know and love, and a cursory glance at the forgotten art of diner lingo. What follows is the culmination of a brutal week of game ranking, as Paul and Moses reach the threshold of the bright middle chapter of their lists. An extraordinary lad comprised of organic tissue and a cell shaded boy in a green tunic take their rightful places once the dust has cleared.
    In the bright middle chapter of the episode, Moses takes us on a journey through the print video game ads of yore, with utterly baffling results. Moses then tells Paul the answer to several seemingly non-sequitur questions, and Paul tells Moses what his new codename is, H.K. style. After this revelation our hosts run down some stats, and then we’ve got a Blaseball update and a Make My Game, and then for the third week in a row we put a bow on it!
