August 30, 2019 Episode 131 - It’s All Johnny’s Fault
This Week on The Casual Hour…
We’ve got some announcements on changes to our usual format. You can listen for all the details, but the big news is that we’re going to start putting out episodes weekly going forward. So get used to hearing Bobby, Chase and Johnny’s shenanigans a lot more frequently. And with the return of weekly episodes, we’re also bringing back our monthly review/preview show. We wrap up August with some talk about Control, and then move into all the interesting games dropping in September. But don’t worry, we still talk a lot about Fire Emblem Three Houses as well. All that and more on this edition of The Casual Hour.

This Month on The Casual Hour...
It's Christmas in July for the Casual crew as everyone's got a new game or two that's stealing both our time and our affections. Johnny's playing with all sorts of blocks in Dragon Quest Builders 2, Bobby's brawling in Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 and Chase leads the gang in hours spent on Fire Emblem Three Houses. All that plus Pokemon ROM hacks and a little bit of Forager on this packed edition of The Casual Hour.

July 01, 2019 Episode 129 - The Arbiter of Cool Pools
This Month on The Casual Hour...
With E3 in the rearview mirror, it’s time to get back to playing games, and The Casual Hour crew’s got some hot June releases to dig into. Johnny and Chase have been constructing levels in Mario Maker 2. Bobby and Johnny are getting into a rhythm with Cadence of Hyrule, and everyone’s been playing a lot of Slay The Spire (and not much My Friend Pedro). And since the issue doesn’t seem to be going away, we weigh in on the limited Pokedex of Pokemon Sword & Shield and the community reaction to it. All that and some premium dunking on Johnny’s new pool on this edition of The Causal Hour!

June 06, 2019 Episode 127 - E3 2019 Pt. 1: The Midwest Coastal Elites
This Month on The Casual Hour…
‘Twas the week before E3 and all through the house, Johnny, Bobby and Chase were debating what games and news would come out of the biggest video game show of the year. Will Microsoft or Nintendo show off some new hardware? How will CD Projekt Red follow up on their big Cyberpunk trailer last year? Will Yoko Taro be there? All questions we dig into on this edition of The Casual Hour!

May 01, 2019 Episode 126 - Back-Alley Book It
It’s been another banner month in this year of gaming as each Casual Hour host has brought another potential Game of the Year contender to the table to chat about. Johnny’s rediscovered an old friend in the form of Mortal Kombat 11. Chase is wrapped up in the fascinating card mechanics of SteamWorld Quest. And Bobby is slicing fools with style in Katana ZERO. We then consider the rapid wind down of the 3DS and look to the future of Nintendo’s Switch console. All that and stealing pizza from kids on this edition of The Casual Hour.

This Month on The Casual Hour...
The Casual Hour is back? For some reason, yes. Yes it is. We’ve got the whole gang: Johnny, Bobby and Chase, and we’ve got a few games to chat about. Bobby’s high on the new Switch and PC indie game, Ape Out. Chase’s high on the new Switch and PC indie game, Baba is You. And Johnny’s high on decidedly not indie Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Then we chat a little about Google and Apple’s new game services, Stadia and Apple Arcade. All that and more on this new monthly edition of The Casual Hour!
