The Save Room

The time has come to put 2025 to bed, gamers. It's a year that saw us go on doomed expeditions, brave the dark ages, hunt monsters, and look at super-dicks (I mean, we did; no idea how your year went). In this first part to our overlong, and over-great, Game of the Year podcast, we rail our bottom five picks for 2025.

Another year, another The Game Awards (TM). Geoff's seven hour showcase had everything you could expect: live performances, people dangling precariously from wires, sexual innuendos between a man and a muppet, and million dollar world premieres. Join us as we discuss the HighGuards and LowGuards of 2025's presenta-- HOLY SHIT IS THAT LEON???

Canada's Game Daddy (Geoff Keighley) has unleashed the nominees for 2025's The Game Awards. There are many contenders to the GOTY throne, but who will be interrupted by a Fortnite commercial first? Also: we discuss Halo ending the console wars, Resident Evil leaks, Call of Duty's botched Ops, the auditory pain of Borderlands 4, the mountain of Yotei (also the game), and the correct way to Dispatch superheroes.

Silent Hill packs up its fog and travels to 1960's Japan where we're treated to both personal demons and literal ones. They say high school is hell, but Hinako learns it's a lot more hellish if you don't practice those perfect dodges. We take a look at the latest and most unique foray into the long running survival horror franchise: Silent Hill f!

Plus: Daniel doesn't care if you've beaten Witch Tit's Peak blindfolded -- Silksong is still a hard game!

The Save Roommates are no longer roommates... They're neighbors! On this episode, we talk about moving away (and how we moved basically 500 ft from each other). Also, it's one of those windy, kitchen sink episodes, so you can expect: movie talk, Gamescom, Resident Evil 9, going to see Nine Inch Nails, our plan to shrink ourselves inside a PC tower, and sock talk. So, you know, a normal episode.

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.
