Quicksave

Adios, friendos! Scott's been playing Adios and the extremely popular Minecraft Dungeons, and Evan is pretty much only playing the same things all the time, so we hope you like regular check-ins on Valheim and Yakuza: Like a Dragon. Also Evan is finally on the Little Nightmares train, so hurray for that. We've got some discussion about Falcon and the Winter Soldier, Pacific Rim: Uprising, and silly sketch comedy shows on Netflix. But most importantly, please stick around for the debut episode of our fast food mini-podcast at the end of the episode. I hate to say it but this may be some of the best radio we've done. Beep boop, gotta go, see ya!

We got Warlords, we got zombies, we got Yakuza, we got vikings! Yeah we're basically checking all of the important content boxes to deliver you a show with enough variety to guarantee there is something for YOU, dear listener! Come listen to Scott talk up (and down) about Stronghold Warlords and Stubbs The Zombie! Thrill as Evan talks about Yakuza: Like a Dragon's PS5 release and Valheim, two games you've heard him talk about a lot already!

Across the nation, around Outworld! Scott's been making the rounds on his backlog and has some parting thoughts for Nioh 2, and lots of praise for Hero Siege and Mortal Kombat 11: Aftermath. Evan's fallen deep down into a bottomless pit of viking survival, and talks about why Valheim is such a great survival game. We have some reflections on the WandaVision finale, and make the news rounds on a few items, including Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda. Finally, we may have been stumped by an email? Uh oh.

Scott's got some praise for Breathedge, and he has a check-in on the state of Rainbow Six Siege in its sixth year. Evan really needs to unpack Maquette, and he has some reflections on Spider-Man after seeing the credits roll. The guys peel the bloom-ridden veneer off of Halo 4 to get at the meat of it, and then we've got SERIOUS business to discuss with Frogwares' Sinking City woes, Criterion being called up to help finish Battlefield 6, and some tasty fresh Switch refresh leaks. Plus! Wandavision finale predictions!

We skipped a week and everything went nuts! We'll never do it again, probably! Scott shares his thoughts about Little Nightmares II and his latest Battlefield 4 secret hunting efforts; Evan gives the rundown on Bowser's Fury and his new obssession with Astro's Playroom speedruns; lastly, we do our best to break down the tsunami of gaming news from Nintendo Direct, Blizzcon, Sony games coming to the PC, and a new special section called "In Memoriam."

We don't need to have played and VIDEO GAMES to have lots to talk about! Scott can't keep himself away from Tarkov, Evan's got Too Many Yakuzas™ to handle, but more importantly, we have MANY THINGS TO SAY about The Mandalorian and WandaVision (there are lots of spoilers in these discussions). We touch on the Stadia studio closures, CD Projekt hackery, Epic's Unreal Metahumans technology, and the Prince of Persia remake delay. Finally, we wrap things up with further discussion about Bear vs Gorilla, and take a trip down memory lane to talk about old tv shows nobody remembers.

Them Quicksave Boys are back at it again for another round! Scott's Bash Corner returns for some opinions on Redout Space Assault, and he has more thoughts to share about Nioh and Single Player Tarkov. Evan's got lots to say about the Resident Evil: Village demo "Maiden" (and of course, Lady Dimitrescu whose name we cannot pronounce), and he provides some in-depth impressions of his time with The Medium. Oh, and hey, Happy Birthday, Saving Content! We're 10 years old!

January continues to be a slow month for games news but that won't slow us down a bit! Scott's been revisiting Nioh, an old favorite of his, and dipping his toes into the somewhat illicit but thoroughly enjoyable Escape From Tarkov Single Player mod. Evan has played a whole lot of Luigi's Mansion 3 and is still chipping away at Spider-Man: Remastered. We share our thoughts on revisiting Halo 2 through the lens of the Anniversary release, we talk about Hitman III's rocky path to providing content and progress carryover from the previous two games, and we answer an email that leads our discussion down a dark and shameful path that frankly we'd rather never discuss again.

Escape from Tarkov SP (26:49)

Luigi's Mansion 3 (54:11)

Spider-Man: Remastered (1:14:03)
