Michaela throws us all a curveball as she started and beat Ara Fell: Enhanced Edition on Switch. Moose has platinumed Elden Ring with Matthew close behind in the endgame (which means the weekly Elden Ring talk will begin to slow down, allegedly). The day of recording was Jason’s birthday, so he finished Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition, returned to Returnal, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, and, of course, Vampire Survivors.  It’s also the anniversary of Kingdom Hearts, so we mention that too!  

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

We hope you have a wonderful week!

Breaking news! Moose and Matthew spend a lot more time gushing about Elden Ring, specifically their experiences rather than going for spoilers.   

Michaela finished Triangle Strategy and reviewed it for Obilisk.co. She also dipped into Horizon again to just continue clearing the map and tasks. Then she started Stranger of Paradise, brought out notes and says it’s a hot mess, but she might still like it.  

Jason is continuing his travels through Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition as well as the nebulous and weird world of Gran Turismo 7 and its microtransactions.  

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

We hope you have a wonderful week!

Michaela has published a review of Horizon Forbidden West on obilisk.co. You should read it. She's know all about that Triangle Strategy.   

Matthew is out this week because he's a coward who's afraid to do homework.   

Moose is still playing Elden Ring hard, but somehow also Tom Clancy's The Division 2 for when he needs to shoot people in the face.  

Jason is making his own way through Horizon Forbidden West now and getting detoured all the way. He also took the advice of "What you should play next on steam," and started up Dark Souls: The Prepare to Die Edition and, like most, hates the great hollow.  

We also discuss the recent State of Play and other news in this dual holiday week.   

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

Michaela has finished and platinumed Horizon Forbidden West (Spoiler alert: she loves it) and began Triangle Strategy which is also giving her those good, good vibes. Jason has gotten all the achievements in Vampire Survivors and reviewed Shadow Warrior 3 and What Lies in the Multiverse. Check those out on www.obilisk.co.  

Moose and Matt are still face deep in Elden Ring and enjoying their time with it, but not really wanting to get too deep into spoiler territory. They also voice their own distaste for the discourse around the game.

We also cover some news and will take this moment to tell anyone and everyone to get the Ender Lillies physical edition from Limited Run!

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

The pod is basically split this week with 2 of us playing Horizon Forbidden West and 2 of us playing Elden Ring. Both games are wonderful in our estimation and we really try to avoid spoilers (to decent success). Neither are without their problems and we get into that a little bit, but from our points of view, both are absolutely fantastic.  

Jason also played more Vampire Survivors and has had a bit of a downer time with Elex II.   

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

We hope you have a wonderful week!

Horizon Forbidden West has been released and all of us have started it. You’ll hear first impressions, a little talk about referencing the first game, and a couple of early-game spoilers.   

Michaela has tried the new demo and is excited about Triangle Strategy. Matthew and Jason are still in an arms race with Vampire Survivors and it’s still fun. Jason is enjoying his time in Dark Souls 2 as he enters the Doors of Faros. Moose played the Cyberpunk 2077 demo and is digging it. Matthew enlisted 3 new Helldivers, started and finished Dishonored, and made a bunch of progress in Metroid Dread.   

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

We hope you have a wonderful week!

Matt has the week off but we covered quite a bit. Michaela is still playing Horizon Zero Dawn as she anxiously awaits for Horizon Forbidden West. Jason finished up reviews for Rise of the Third Power and is near completion on OlliOlli World and Grapple Dog as he continues his adventure in Dark Souls 2. Moose played a bit of everything but finished off the Horizon Zero Dawn DLC just in time for Friday's launch.

We also discuss the PlayStation Indie showcase and the latest Nintendo Direct.

Enjoy the show and have a great week!

This week, EIC of The Outer Haven Keith Mitchell (aka @shadowhaxor) joins us for shenanigans, Souls talk, Sifu talk, discussing Sony’s acquisition of Bungie, and the need for outlets to stop covering Elden Ring so he can go in as fresh as possible. It’s a nonstop good time of an episode this week.

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

We hope you have a wonderful week!

Another week, another acquisition, but we’re still talking about games we’re playing. 

Jason is reviewing both Rise of the Third Power and Grapple Dog and spreading the addiction of Vampire Survivors (though Matthew has reported his exposure already - and he calls it an idle-mussougelite). He also played Beat Saber and Super Hot VR. Michaela’s ass is numb and she’s still doing Horizon Zero Dawn’s photo mode as well as testing the waters with the Monark demo. Matthew has made massive progress in another backlog title, Scarlet Nexus. He’s also gotten further in Deep Rock Galactic and briefly mentions Wordle. Moose is tying up loose ends in Breath of the Wild and kicking Biomutant to the curb because he’s not enjoying it. He also began Plague Tale: Innocence and has a good first impression. We then dabble in some news of the week.  

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

We hit the Wilt Chamberlain number this week. While we didn’t plan anything, we certainly came to talk about games. 

Michaela loves Horizon Zero Dawn for anyone who didn’t know, Matthew is completely enraptured by his time in Yakuza 0, which he finished this week, Jason is tearing through the Mario series like it ain’t no thang but left some time for another platformer as he finished up Sackboy, and Moose is doing Dark Souls mods. 

We mention the thing that Microsoft did and go through our PlayStation wrap ups for 2021.  

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

We hope you have a wonderful week!
