Sockscast

After a bit of life gettin' in the way, the Album Listening Club makes its triumphant return as we dig deep into Byron's pick, PC Music Vol. 1. What on Earth has Byron gotten us into? Join us as we untangle this mess of bubblegum to try and figure it all out...

Well, we just went and accidentally recorded our longest normal episode in a while, so we hope you got four hours to spare. We welcome the last surviving Brit, Rainiac to the show and he's gonna tell us all about how he parties hard and probably wrasslin' at some point. After that, Rhete's PSO2 stories only become more ridiculous, John joins Rhete and solves all the freakin' puzzles, and Polly has a pretty extensive review of Mario & Luigi: Dream Team.

Dr.Nooooooo, infamous Rappy Bucket and all-around cool dude that Polly and Rhete have known since 2001, makes his podcasting debut in glorious Rappy Bucket Definition on this episode of the Sockscast and gives us the low-down on some Samurai Warriors and Metal Gear Solid V and so much more! After that, Rhete takes us on a journey with a bad-ass elephant, Polly spends two weeks playing games that are ten years old, and John plays games that make him feel terrified and small.

Are you ready to kick off 2016 with the BEST PODCAST EVER? Well, too damn bad, because you're doin' it anyway, so shut your noise hole and open your hearing holes! Joining us this episode we have recently adopted SMPS baby, Raydio, who you may remember from our Anniversary cast and my stream. He's got a lot to say about The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky as well as some super secret game making talk near the end of the episode. Meanwhile, Polly's making a play to capture that Nuclear Throne, Rhete talks for 19 hours about Star Wars, and John is positively in love with Final Fantasy VIII!

And here we are. The very top of the lists. The cream of the crop. Where the best battle it out in vicious Mortal Kombat to determine the Best Game Ever. No wait, that's Undertale, but how about John, Rhete, and Polly working through their 2015 Game of the Year lists with entries 5 through 1? It's all the thrills, chills, and action you could expect from one podcast as well as the final haul of listener-contributated listerinos. And with that, the Sockscast bids adieu to 2015. Thanks to everyone for listening and we hope to keep you interested and/or laughing as we cruise on into 2016! Much love, y'all.

The year has wound down and it's time for the internet's only videogame-centric podcast to make sure you know the what's what and whoogle-ma-whizzits of the best games that have been played in 2015. In today's episode, Rhete, John, and Polly run down their lists from entries 10 to 6 and we dive into a treasure trove of your listener-submitted personal Game of the Year lists as well! Check back tomorrow for the exciting conclusion!

And the exhausting year of so many great tunes winds its way down with Taylor and Polly returning to count down their top five albums of the year! Join us once again for your fill of ordered lists and tasty jams!

2015 has been an amazing year in music and that's why Taylor and Polly just couldn't help themselves and absolutely HAVE to share with you their Top 10 albums of the year! So sit back and enjoy some tasty jams from entries 10 through 6 on their lists.

We finally managed to trick Ashley into joining in on our dumb podcast shenanigans for our final episode of the year before Game of the Year stuff kicks off, and this three and a half hour thing is the result. As the year winds down it finds John having his mind blown for five hours straight by Virtue's Last Reward's True Ending and sharing some pretty popular opinions about Super Mario World, Ashley's been in the world of Nep-Neps and fighting off zombie hordes and finishing Tales of Xillia 2, Rhete's been slaying mighty foes with just his bow and dealing with his own zombie outbreak, and Polly has been reading only memories.

We got a nice chill of a Sockscast ready for you this week as we check in on John and his insatiable need to kick and punch people, Rhete's inability to play anything other than JRPGs, and Polly stumbling onto a game that ended up being quite a neat little surprise!
