It’s that time of the year. You know the one. That time of the year where we all talk about The Game Awards for weeks, but pretend it doesn’t matter to us at all. Should remakes be nominated for Game of the Year? Do billion dollar corporations get to win best independent game? Were games like Starfield, Hogwarts Legacy, Final Fantasy XVI or Jedi Survivor snubbed? We discuss these burning questions and more, brace for impact.

This is part two of us pulling old recordings out of our back pocket for your listening pleasure. Starfield, Cyberpunk and Assassins Creed are the topics of todays episode. Enter the animus!

Bryan has no voice and Josh has plans. Rather than leave you all high and dry with no episode we thought we’d pull this exclusive episode from May out of our back pocket. Just an FYI, Bryan is using his phone in this episode! We talk about the video game industry and it’s perception through different generations. It’s a give and take.

We’re all used to waiting for those big tent pole AAA games that we will be talking about for years, but what about all the other games that don’t get as much spotlight? Despite their shortcomings, sometimes they bring the best memories.

Part two of our Cyberpunk 2077 coverage is here. What were our initial thoughts at launch? Is the game edgy for the sake of being edgy? Listener discretion is advised.

Peter Jackson concludes his dual Middle Earth trilogies with The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies. Will you follow us, one last time?

Explaining the trouble of Cyberpunk 2077's development is a war against the forces of entropy, understand? You gotta do whatever it takes to stop 'em, defeat 'em, gut 'em. If I gotta kill, I'll kill. If I need your body, I'll take it! Hell…You still don't see how good this game is. But you will one day, choom!

What games do you play when you're dealing with grief? How did we feel about Spider-Man 2018 and Miles Morales as we approach the launch of Spider-Man 2? Cyberpunk 2077 and Halo Infinite begin to show their true colors. Do you remember Game Fuel, Sneak King and Hercules? I think you mean HUNK-ules. Why is Fellowship of the Ring the best thing in all of media? These are the burning topics we've been wanting to talk about the most, but it's time for you to decide which one the network picks up first. We really hope there's a season two.

Remember a time when there was more than just Madden to look forward to in the realm of football video games? When the likes of 2K, Street, Blitz, Fever, and more each called out to us on store shelves for some pigskin fun, all while offering different styles and modes?

Joshua welcomes back friend of the show Justin to take a nostalgic look back at the history of football in video games. What we played. Where the decline happened. Our favorites of all time. As well as some general football talk.

Come join the tailgate. Glizzy's are on us.

Amidst the latest trailers and gameplay demos for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth we reflect on the sublime experience that was Final Fantasy VII Remake. Nearly four years since release there seems to be no clear sign of when these titles might be available on the Xbox platform. Will that change? Should it? We think so.
