As Johnny, Bobby and Chase wait with anticipation (or dread, depending on the day) for Death Stranding, we’ve all got a few other games we’re working on in the meantime. Chase is still digging into his massive backlog, putting time into Fire Emblem Sacred Stones and starting the 2018 visual novel, Heaven Will Be Mine. Johnny’s exorcised his demons and finished Control. And Bobby’s getting spooky with Luigi’s Mansion 3. All that and a quick Outer Worlds update from the crew on this edition of The Casual Hour.

This Week on The Casual Hour…

We say goodbye to October and hello to one of the biggest months in gaming this year, if only because of three games. Listen as we break down all the interesting (and not so interesting) titles you can play instead of paying attention to your relatives this Thanksgiving. In addition to our preview, we’ve also got our early thoughts on the console port of Return of the Obra Dinn, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and The Outer Worlds. All that and more on this edition of The Casual Hour!

​​Bobby’s back from vacation and ready to talk about his new Apple Arcade obsession, Grindstone. He and Chase have also been putting some time into Game Freak’s newest game, Little Town Hero (and the results are…not great). And as expected, there’s some Destiny 2 talk as well. All that and a rundown of some of the latest gaming news including the recently revealed Analogue Pocket on this edition of The Casual Hour!

Prepare to get spooky on this Deep Dive as Bobby takes Chase and Johnny through the oftentimes debunked, but always interesting Gaming Urban Legends. From Pokemon to Pale Luna, the gang goes through the phenomenon of viral second-hand sharing that has lead to decades of speculation. Is the government controlling kids through arcades? Was Mew really under that truck? Did Herobrine exist? All this and much more on this special edition of The Casual Hour!

It’s one small step for Bobby and Chase, but one giant leap for Johnny as we all return to the moon in Destiny 2: Shadowkeep. And to help us break it all down we’ve invited friend of the show and Destiny veteran Phil Jaycox to discuss what’s good and not so good in Bungie’s latest expansion.
