Sockscast

Better late than never, yeah? Even though we missed the holiday festivities this year due to illness and searing awful mouth pain, that doesn't mean 2019 wasn't a year worth talking about music-wise, and that's why Taylor and Polly got ya covered once again, breaking down their top ten releases starting with entries ten to five today!

We got you all sorted with a hot new episode of The Sockscast! This time around, John's indulging in a Suikoden visual novel, but it's apparently got a cute vampire girl that's tired, so we think it's rad, Rhete's Fire Emblem journey comes to...an end of some sort, and Polly's exploring the remnants of a dead civilization and doesn't mind staying because she likes what they've done with the place. There's also a weird air or revisiting the past this episode that was completely unplanned!

Ohhhhh yeah, baby, the three-hour Sockscast train is back on the tracks, so get yourself comfy and ready to enjoy! In today's episode, John's shmup journeys take him deeper into Konami territory, Polly experiences the end of the world through two of the cutest little anime girls you ever did see, and Rhete's going to take us on a strategy game journey, the likes of which we weren't sure we were ready for!

Winter has officially hit Pollyland, at least for a few days, so this episode Polly decided to get a little snug with an anime all about being left out in the cold, and although he's trapped in Perpetual Anime Watching Land right now, Rhete's giving us his sloppy ol' leftovers from four months ago with a unique and comedic VR experience, and something is positively draining all the Life Force right out of John Thyer! What ever could it be?

The world's most famous videogame streamer in the world, After5, joins Polly and Taylor as we dig into what could very well be considered Marilyn Manson's magnum opus. The iconic 1996 release Antichrist Superstar takes center stage this episode. It's an album that's surely on Polly and Taylors personal top 10 albums of all-time lists, but how does it land 24 years later for a complete Marilyn Manson newbie?

And thus, did the Sockscast say, "Yes, it can finally be 2020," as we're back providing that good, good podcasting content to kick off another hot 366 of consuming media and meeting every couple weeks or so to talk about it! We get things started off with John taking us on a journey into the world of western-developed RPGs, Polly's taking a trip to River City to rescue her boyfriend, and Rhete's gotta solve the mystery of how 60 people died!

We ain't playin' now. It's the real deal as Polly and Taylor break down the top five albums released in 2019 and show a little love to a few that maybe didn't make the list!

Better late than never, yeah? Even though we missed the holiday festivities this year due to illness and searing awful mouth pain, that doesn't mean 2019 wasn't a year worth talking about music-wise, and that's why Taylor and Polly got ya covered once again, breaking down their top ten releases starting with entries ten to five today!

And we wind down not only 2019, but the entire decade with the top five games that the three of us played this year along with the final salvo of listener lists to keep things nice and cozy for the holidays!

We're here, we're queer, and it's time to reflect upon the year! That's right, it's time once again for the Sockscast end of the year Game of the Year double-episode spectacular! On today's episode, we'll be going over our own personal favorites from the last 365 ranked 10 to 6 as well as a huge glut of listener lists, so settle in and get comfy!
