EARTH IS FUCKED and the band Pet Symmetry is out of here! Continuing the story of their new music video “2021: A Personal Space Odyssey” the band along with designer Arianna Rudawski have created a love letter to classic top down games like Toejam and Earl in the browser based game EARTH IS FUCKED.

Jim talked to them about the creation of the game and made them harmonize their last names…..for some reason….

Hey, didn't we just see each other?

So this episode is kind of a weird reverse of 207 where we spent the first half hour talking about nothing and then did the show.

Time is a flat circle.

Better late than never I always say. Especially when it means that we can talk about the EA Play event, Steam Deck, and Emo Music.

Don't feel bad if you don't want to listen to the last 30 minutes of the show. It's just Fish and Plachy hanging out.

Hey, we're back! After a scheduling snafu last week, we return to you now to comment on all of last week's news! Exciting stuff. Also, can we talk about Michael Bay's Transformers movies for a second?

It's kind of wild to think that Metroid came out in 1986 and then Symphony of the Night came out ELEVEN YEARS LATER - and we call the genre MetroidVANIA.

Man, I bet Samus is fucking PISSED.

Podcasting 101: Don't ruin a punchline with your episode title.

Well I didn't go to college, so I will do as I please.

In fact, I am going to spoil another thing in this by linking to this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62nv6oq0MuQ.

See? I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE RULES.

Not much has happened since we spoke last. Except, of course, Nintendo's FUCKING BANGER of a conference.

Come hear what you missed, what you saw, and what we are looking forward to.

E3 2021 is both underway and essentially over.

We cover the Keighthrees, Koch/Cook/Cock's media bonaza, Ubisoft, Square Enix, Microsoft, and a bunch of other stuff!

It's been a wild E3 so far, and we aren't done yet.

I haven't written the word PrE3 in 5 years.

Wild.

Speaking of wild, it's a wild year for Apple's WWDC conference, and it seems like it will be a wild year for E3. Luckily, Plachy has excellent notes.

200 episodes.

They came and went like a late evening shower. Here we are, on the other side of 200, and no better for it.

But hey, sometimes it's the journey and not the destination.

And our journey continues...
