March 11, 2022 Episode 263 - If You Don’t Know, Now You Jojo
This Week on The Casual Hour…
Johnny is away, which just gives Bobby and Chase more time to gush over the Kirby and the Forgotten Land demo. We also talk about Triangle Strategy, FAR: Changing Tides, and the big news about a new Pokemon generation, as well as PlayStation’s latest State of Play. All that and more on this (slightly cut off by Twitch issues) edition of The Casual Hour.

February 25, 2022 Episode 261 - Stone Cold Creamery
This Week on The Casual Hour…
Big games are beginning to drop. Horizon Forbidden West, Destiny 2: The Witch Queen and Triangle Strategy (the demo, at least) all are demanding our playtime, even while we try to sneak in smaller stuff like Strange Horticulture and OlliOlli World. Plus, we talk about digital storefronts and game preservation after the news Nintendo will be shutting down their 3DS and Wii U eShop services. All that and more on this edition of The Casual Hour!

February 18, 2022 Episode 260 - Deep Dive: Game Feel
Episode Description:
This week the boys have an in-depth discussion about the sometimes nebulous concept of “game feel”, and how it impacts the games we play. It can make or break how we experience games, and Johnny, Bobby, and Chase all have thoughts to share about what makes certain games feel better than others. From the chunk of a shotgun blast, Mario’s jump, or those extra few pixels we’re allowed to walk off the edge of a platform, we go over as much as we could squeeze into this month’s Deep Dive, and hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed discussing it.

January 21, 2022 Episode 256 - The Biggest Turd Ferguson
This Week on The Casual Hour…
In this news-heavy episode, The Casual Crew reacts to the bombshell story of Microsoft buying Activision/Blizzard. Breaking down the current state of problems with Activision/Blizzard leadership, the probability of exclusivity, and the seemingly unstoppable force that Game Pass has become, it’s hard not to call this the biggest story The Casual Hour has covered. There is also an attempt at a game of Jeopardy that goes very poorly. Tune in!

January 14, 2022 Episode 255 - The Podcast Curse
This Week on The Casual Hour…
They said it couldn’t be done. A Casual Hour episode that actually goes for just an hour. But we did it. And all it took was Chase having no games to talk about and a slow news week. But hey, Bobby and Johnny got to talk about their PCs, so at least two people were happy.
