Should we have connected? Well, if you want to beat the Nightlord, then hell yeah! On a completely overstuffed return to the world of video game podcasting, we discuss the 100-plus hours we spent in Elden Ring: Nightreign in addition to the 100-plus roads we built in Death Stranding 2.

Also: Xbox is back to doing what they do best -- being the worst; and Resident Evil Requiem was announced and fans are wondering if Leon/Chris/Jill/Rebecca/Ada/Carlos/Billy/Wesker's corpse will return.

Take your shoes off and embark on a very French journey with us as we review this year's breakout J'RPG hit: Expedition 33! It's got everything you could want from a game: a breathtaking world, a heartfelt original story, and a brutal parry system that will snap your fingers if you don't snap your controller first. Listen for those who come after, mon ami.

The world of Monster Hunter is now open -- literally! While Capcom has expanded the hunting field, they've also streamlined the time-tested formula making for a leaner -- but not meaner -- beast. In our review, we discuss what works, what doesn't, and what's different in this these newfound wilds. Is it too easy? Is it fun? Can you throw Nata into the sun? The Guild authorizes you to listen to this podcast.

Also: our Assassin's Creed Shadows impressions, a game that's silent but only somewhat deadly.

Nintendo did it again! And by it, we mean the Switch. But with increased power comes increased cost, proving that the only orange menace Mario can defeat is Bowser. Click the C-Button and join us as we GroupChat about the Nintendo Switch 2!

Hollywood decided to break the curse by making a copy, and that's just what they did when they remade Ringu in 2002 for western audiences. But does this adaptation add more to the title than "The"? Actually, yes! In a Millennia Macabre first, we watched something good for a change. Unfortunately, we only have 7 days to relish it.

The Save Room is back and so is our log (uh, our backlog, that is). Can we get through games like Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown and Nine Sols while no-lifing Marvel Rivals? Never challenge a gamer. It always ends in tears. For all parties. ALSO: another Bloodborne-less State of Play and is Avowed the next Skyrim kille-- my lawyers are telling me I cannot legally compare the two games. They have fined me the price of one copy of Skyrim.

Love is in the air... and so is poorly motivated murder! Millennia Macabre is back with a 2001 Valentine's Day slasher that not only features a masked cherub killer, but an angel -- Mr. David Boreanaz! Will his brooding good looks save this love sick whodunit from obscurity? The answer may not surprise you.

Some times the best things in life must be split in two: Kit-kats, cruise liners, marriages... Okay, our voices were blowing out and we needed to reconvene. But it's to your benefit! Now you have the definitive Game of the Year 2024 podcast x2!

Kept you waiting, huh? After the Year of Dreams that was 2023, we were told to expect a soft year in gaming. But that was a lie. This year went hard. From card games becoming newfound addictions to JRPGs that did everything except end, there was no shortage of stellar gaming experiences. Join us as we celebrate interactive software using nothing but soundwaves and our lips.

We revisit the grungy bathroom where a franchise was born! The original Saw led to a slew of nasty imitators bearing the "torture porn" moniker, but you'd be surprised to learn that James Wan's directorial debut is rather sanitary (and a little Hitchcock-y). Let's meet John Kramer for the first time again and decide whether he's the devious folk hero the sequels make him out to be or just a nutty old man who enjoys a good Rube Goldberg machine.
