This Week on The Casual Hour...
Bobby’s gone, so Chase and Johnny are dialing up the sports talk with some of our favorite sports video games. But before that we have to dive into the recent Nintendo Nindies Direct (which might have been a better overall Direct than last week’s big one…) Chase is beside himself about Mark of the Ninja coming to the Switch, as well as a new Banner Saga and more. We’ve also been playing the new/old Burnout Paradise Remastered. How does it hold up all these years later? Find out on this edition of The Casual Hour!

This Week on The Casual Hour...
We wish the Nintendo Switch a happy birthday and go over our thoughts and feelings on the one-year-old console (and looking at every other gaming site, we weren’t the only ones with that idea.) We also look ahead to what’s on the horizon for the Switch, as well as detail a few longshot dreams of ours for Nintendo’s newest console. Outside of our little birthday party, Bobby’s been checking out the demo for Kirby Star Allies and putting more time into Crossing Souls and Monster Hunter while Chase digs into Battle of Polytopia and Radiant Historia: Perfect Chronology. And of course, there’s some Fire Emblem talk as Bobby starts Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia (and Chase starts it all over again in solidarity.) Note: This episode was recorded before March 8th’s Nintendo Direct (and this show description was written before it too,) so some parts of this podcast may be outdated.

This Week on The Casual Hour...
We look forward to near-future game releases in our March preview (and we reflect on February’s crop of titles, some more fondly than others.) Chase is still deep into Alto’s Odyssey, but found time to finish February PS+ game, Rime. Meanwhile, Bobby’s been checking out a pair of pixel-based games, Owlboy and Crossing Souls. All that and another impromptu discussion about photo modes on this edition of The Casual Hour!

This Week on The Casual Hour...
Bobby’s back this week and we have a lot to catch up on. Chase has wrapped up Shadow of the Colossus, Bobby’s “finished” Monster Hunter World and both guys went on the emotional rollercoaster of Florence. We’ve also been hitting the slopes of the newly released Alto’s Odyssey. All that and more on this truly hour-long edition of The Casual Hour!

February 19, 2018 Episode 88 - Goodbye Neighbor
This Week on The Casual Hour...
Co-founder of some lame podcast called The Casual Hour, Johnny Amizich, returns home to guest host on…The Casual Hour? It’s only weird for a minute, and then we get right back into the swing of things. Johnny’s been AWOL for months, and he’s got a veritable mountain of games to talk about including Pushmo, Super Mario Odyssey, Celeste and Monster Hunter. Meanwhile Chase has very pointed thoughts on the new Shadow of the Colossus remake and everyone’s favorite, the new entry in the Dynasty Warriors franchise. All that and even more Dragon Ball FighterZ on this edition of The Casual Hour.

February 08, 2018 Episode 87 - Caveman-Adjacent
This Week on The Casual Hour...
We’re joined by The Short Game’s Raygan Kelly and Nate Heininger as we talk about, well, short games (kind of the whole point in bringing them on,) those palate cleansers packed to the brim with creativity and innovation. From Oregon Trail to space Oregon Trail, we cover the gamut of games that respect your time while pushing the envelope. Plus, Chase gives some updates on Dragon Ball FighterZ, Bobby takes his first steps into the remake of Shadow of the Colossus and our guests are both dazzled by Celeste. All that and more on this edition of The Casual Hour!

January 31, 2018 Episode 86 - My Palico’s All Boned Out
This Week on The Casual Hour...
We debut a new recurring segment as we look forward to the games of February, a month of remakes, ports and adaptations that somehow still have us excited. But we can’t look too far ahead, for there are a ton of new releases we’re plugging away on. Bobby got his monster hunting license, much to Chase’s dismay. Chase is in anime heaven with Dragon Ball FighterZ and we’re both taking to the challenging, but approachable Celeste. All that and more on this edition of The Casual Hour!

January 25, 2018 Episode 85 - A Bikini-Clad Dragon.
This Week on The Casual Hour...
We’re styling and profiling as we talk about our favorite games with style. What is style exactly? Well, we try to construct a bit of a working definition. Meanwhile Bobby’s awkwardly flails around in gang beasts, Chase is confused by Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth - Hacker’s Memory and we both discuss the feeling of beating our first Destiny raid. All that and more on this edition of The Casual Hour! Bonus! Meet the Bikini-Clad Dragon here.

January 18, 2018 Episode 84 - Supple Age of 17
This Week on The Casual Hour...
We bring on our first guest of 2018, Zach Fleeman. Zach’s a YouTuber/streamer and is just launching his new series, Save Your Coins, where he looks for the hidden gems among the bevy of cheap and free games available on Steam. But for today’s episode, we’re not so interested in cheap games, but rather the best games. Specifically, we’re talking about our favorite game for every console (or at least, the ones we’ve owned over the years). It’s a sprint down memory lane on this edition of The Casual Hour!

January 17, 2018 Episode 83 - Big Brother V
This Week on The Casual Hour...
We break down all the announcements from Nintendo’s stealth Direct Mini (and Chase laments the lack of Fire Emblem information). Despite the “mini” nature, there was a lot to unpack here, along with a few fun surprises. Meanwhile on the game-playing front, Chase has finished Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade, which has made room on his plate for….Fire Emblem: Awakening. Guess he really likes that franchise or something. Bobby’s testing the strategy game waters as well with his foray into the iPad version of XCOM: Enemy Within, which seems like a dream compared to the other game he’s playing: Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy. All that plus Packing Up the Rest of Your Stuff on the Last Day at Your Old Apartment on this edition of The Casual Hour!
