PAX 2019 was fun! We talk about that a bit and about what makes a genre over-saturated.

Ninja is on Mixer, Twitch is showing porn on his channel, the Epic store and Steam continue their battles and we're here to talk all of it as we talk about the role of these platforms in the growing gaming community and what we as consumers can do about it.

We're finally back in the saddle! And speaking of saddles, since summer is a time for kicking back and doing all the things you couldn't do in the winter, we're talking about getting back into games. What stops you? What brings you back to a game? Tune in and find out!

In this episode, Zach has been addicted to Stardew Valley and it's up to the gang to determine if this is a bad thing, why some games are so addictive, and why does it bother us when we spend time on some games vs. others.

Well, well, well, we're finally back! Listen, we're not just fans of video games, we're fans of board games too, so check out this episode where we compare the two and figure out what makes a board game work, as well as if there are any board games that feel like video games.

In which the gang gets together for a rousing discussion of what esports needs as en entity in order to gain have comparable mind share in the general American population to the other major sports, what it's missing and what obstacles are inherent to that form of competition. We also discuss why sports work as a whole and the beginnings of some bonafide controversies...

Congrats to NicroVeda on the first ever sub-hour speedrun of Super Mario Odyssey! Hooo boy, we have a lot to catch you up on this week. Google's got their streaming system on the way, Halo is coming to steam, Link/Zelda are in a rhythm game. What is the world coming to?

We catch up on all the news and games from the time since we've been buried under snow! Who would have guessed that the two biggest games and arguably best games of the year so far would be battle royale games? And who would have guessed that one of them would be Tetris? We discuss all of that and the retirement of Reggie Fils-Aime. We'll miss you Reggie

Man, it really seems like all the games coming out this year are long awaited sequels to games from the mid 2000s, doesn't it? We've got Kingdom Hearts III, Shenmue 3, Luigi's Mansion 3, Gears of War 5...ok maybe not that last one... We give our predictions for the year to come, and talk about Kingdom Hearts and Zach's disappointment with Octopath Traveler. Enjoy!

2018 has come and gone! And now it's time to figure out our GOTY! What's GOTY? Is it Giving Out Tons of Yachts? Glorifying Okra Tactfully on Yelp? Great Owls Talking Yoga? No! It's our Game(s) of the Year! 2018 had some great ones, so who gets our award?
