February 16, 2024 Episode 362 - Much Ado About Nothing
This Week on The Casual Hour…
We’re back from our hiatus, and are just in time to talk about the big Xbox news…or we would be if there was any actual Xbox news. Even still, we’ll talk about Microsoft’s podcast response to recent rumors, and we’ll get angry about more layoffs at the Embracer Group. But hey, there’s some good news too: From Hell Divers to Enshrouded to Granblue Fantasy Relink, there are some killer new games to talk about. All that and more on this edition of The Casual Hour!

January 19, 2024 Episode 360 - The Bug One Everybody Cares About
This Week on The Casual Hour…
We’re back with our first Deep Dive of 2024. Chase once again takes Bobby and Johnny down memory lane and into gaming’s peripheral history with Sony’s EyeToy camera device. We’re used to bombastic VR experiences today (Bobby even has one to talk about on our Whacha Been Playin’ segment), but let’s take a look into what motion gaming was like over two decades ago on this edition of The Casual Hour!
