A last minute change of plans had Eric and Tom scrambling for a topic this week, until Eric stumbled upon a dubious article siting the top 50 video games of all time as determined by Metacritic. This will probably end poorly.

Welcome to episode 3 of Filler Arc and THE RETURN OF TOM. Eric and Tom analyze some of the biggest episodes of season 1 this week, taking a look at episodes 7-9! Deku and Bakugo are set to square off in the Hero/Villain training excersise under the supervision of All Might. Who will emerge victorious, and what lasting effects will the outcome have on each character?

On this episode of the SideQuesting Podcast, Eric takes a few minutes to talk about the recent Sony news regarding a Last of Us remake. When is it okay for games to be remade? Does this seem like a cash grab tactic? Will we live in a future where we won't be able to experience games the way they were originally released? All these questions will not be answered and more on this episode!

In today's episode of the SideQuesting Podcast, Eric is diving into Capcom's latest hit in the Monster Hunter series, Monster Hunter Rise! Released on 3/26/21, he takes you through the laundry list of changes from World to Rise, weapon tweaks, and why now is the best time ever to get into Monster Hunter.

This was a harder episode to record. If you don't listen, that is fine. I just had to get my thoughts out in the world. Much love, and thanks for all the support so far.
