June 09, 2023 Episode 328 - The Pastiest Podcast This Side Of The Mississippi
This Week on The Casual Hour…
As it’s the halfway point of the year (and as we’re on the horizon of big gaming news from the Summer Games Fest), the crew thought it’d be the perfect time to reflect on how we feel about the year in games so far. While keeping the Zelda talk to a minimum we look back at some of our favorite games of 2023, games we want to get back to and then games we’re still looking forward to coming out later this year. All that plus some Street Fighter 6 impressions on this episode of The Casual Hour!

May 19, 2023 Episode 325 - Deep Dive: What’s Up with Video Game Journalism?
This Week on The Casual Hour…
The second dip of our double Deep dive this month, the crew puts Xbox aside as we instead talk about the history and current state of video game news coverage, and what we are look to get from it these days. Plus, Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom has been out less than a week, and everyone’s excited to share their adventures from the land of Hyrule (in a semi-spoilery fashion). All that plus a little existentialism on this edition of The Casual Hour!

May 12, 2023 Episode 324 - Deep Dive: What’s Up With Xbox?
This Week on The Casual Hour…
Xbox head Phil Spencer recently went on Kinda Funny’s Xbox-themed podcast to do the “toughest” of interviews and discuss both the UK blocking their acquisition of Activision and the disappointing reaction to Redfall. We talk about the implications of this interview and what it might mean for the future of the green brand. In addition, Johnny continues to develop his midichlorians in Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Bobby bought two tickets to Showgunners and Chase finally got around to Mutant Year Zero. All that and more on this Deep Dive edition of The Casual Hour!
