The First Hour episodes:

November 17, 2025 S4E19 - Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness
A classic RTS for a classic group of fellas. We get into a very one-sided debate on the age-old question: Horde or Alliance? Matt gives it all in his back-of-the-box reading, Jarin brings up The Big Bang Theory, and we enjoy all that the first hour of Warcraft II has to offer. Listen to this episode in HIGH-FIDELITY Crystal-tek™ audio, ONLY on this platform, as a special gift to our listeners on this platform.

November 05, 2025 S4E18 - Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver
Joel edited this one, and told me nothing about it. I'm guessing we talked about Soul Reaver, probably did a quiz and the Here to Help segment. Jarin maybe discusses the souls he has reaved in real life. Is Jarin even on this episode? I have no idea this one is a total mystery. I think we recorded it 6 months ago at least. Enjoy!

October 26, 2025 S4E17 - Sonic Riders
Jarin takes the lead in number of Sonic games picked with this weeks choice of Sonic Riders. A Sonic game Matt hasn’t played? The boys dive into the wild soundtrack lyrics, dissect the finer points of Sonic character design, and revisit a legendary YouTube gem from the depths of the Sonic fandom. This episode totally sucks. I hated editing it. APRIL FOOLS — this one’s actually a banger. You’re in for a treat.

The boys are bagging bounties right quick with this episode. Surprisingly it's Jacob keeping them on track and making this episode short short short for your listening pleasure. Listen to these zany guys talk about the first hour of the original Xbox console classic Oddworld Stranger's Wrath.

We decide which Marvel heroes we’d be, hear all about how much Jacob despised playing co-op with Matt, and we might even discuss the game itself (we do).
