Story Route Zero

Everyone is present and accounted for to cover Gamescom Opening Night Live. Then we go in a different direction with an announcement. No, Story Route Zero is not ending but we are taking a break. This will be the last (not final) episode as we go on hiatus. We hope you enjoy this show and all our shows and we will see everyone soon.

Jason was off this week but the rest of the group still gathered for a chat about video games and some news. Enjoy the episode!

Matt took the week off but Michaela, Moose and Jason are here to talk games and some news.

Road Squad is fully saturated this week as Michaela returns to regale with tales of Dragon Quest XIs and the child soldiers in Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Jason is playing Kingdom Hearts (still to Matthew's confusion), starting Salt and Sacrifice,  and Monolith as well as releasing impressions of Tarnishing of Juxtia. He's also still dominating his Mario Kart weekends with the family. Matthew is STILL hunting Monsters in Sunbreak and loving it. Moose is still chilling in Night City as well as playing Outriders with Jason and friends and he prefers it that way over solo play. Moose also has walked around in the cat game (Stray). Moose also took a mini tour through the PS+ essential tier free games via Warhammer Chaosbane.

We also dig into the Annapurna showcase that happened last week as well as some other news. 

As always, we hope you enjoy the show. Love you!

We hope you have a wonderful week!

We're at 75% capacity and somehow managed to release our shortest episode ever. Matthew is back after a 2-week absence to talk Monster Hunter Rise and he's still loving it. He's about to start the Sunbreak content and realizes how much he still has to learn. Moose is cruising toward the platinum in Cyberpunk 2077. He and Jason have both begun journeys into Live A Live. Jason is still here to deliver the weekly reminder that Vampire Survivors rules and is still enjoying Monolith. He reviewed Xel and it seems like it might be a meal that hadn't finished cooking. He also returned to Outriders, did a little more Kingdom Hearts, and regales us with stories of the Marshall family Mario Kart Sundays.   

As always, we hope you enjoy the show. Love you!  

We hope you have a wonderful week!

We're back up to 3/4 of the group on this week's episode. Moose and Michaela were laser-focused on one game each while Jason finished off multiple cyberpunk games and tried to be diplomatic about a review that is not going so well.

It's only Moose and Jason this week but they still talk games and news and games and news.

Matt's playing fighting games, Moose is not playing Elden Ring, Jason is reviewing games and Michaela experienced game crashes because she's cursed. All that and a Nintendo Mini Direct on this week's episode. Enjoy!

Fun fact: most of the episode titles are either pre-show or during the show quotes. We hope you enjoy this week's hour of shenanigans. 

It’s a full car this week as everyone is back and games were played! 

Michaela is chugging through Dragon Quest XIs and loving it. Jason, Matthew and Moose passed the mic around talking 20 Minutes to Dawn, TMNT: Shredder’s Revenge, and Neon White. Demos from Steamfest are also discussed, including Jason's preview on Lone Ruin. Matthew tried Mistover on Michaela's recommendation and immediately fell in love. Moose finally made the return to Horizon Forbidden West and is enjoying what he's been playing this second time around.  

Square news and Dragon’s Dogma news are also discussed with Matt asking what is a Crisis Core.  

As always, we hope you enjoy the show. Love you!  We hope you have a wonderful week!
