Thumbstick Athletes

After skipping last year, we have another go at the greatest challenge in gaming... Four in February.

During "What we Played" we give some brief first impressions of Resident Evil 7, with a full episode on it coming next week.

The Nintendo Switch Reveal event set the gaming world ablaze, and not in a good way for the most part.  Find out our thoughts on the system and Nintendo's plan going forward.

We cover more games coming out this year.  (most likely anyway)  Eric gets to cover some of the games he's interested in and had played a new mobile game newly popular among the TSA Podcast.

New year, plenty of new games coming out so we can wash away some of the cynicism left over from last year's stinkers.  This week we each picked a handful of games to cover for this week, and likely more next week in part 2.

Last week we we prepared by adding, combining and removing some categories all for the main event this week...the 2016 Thumbies. 

The annual Thumbies awards are upon us, so this week we took an episode to get our categories ironed out.  We combined a few awards, got rid of a few, and even added a few for this year...so get ready for the only awards show that matters....The 2016 Thumbies Awards.

A gift guide for those last minute Christmas shoppers out there...get something nice for that special gamer in your life.  Corey and Will also talk briefly about the newly released Super Mario Run. 

Final Fantasy XV is finally out and was experienced by both Corey, a series veteran, and Eric, relative newcomer with some experience with Final Fantasy VIII and X.  Then there's Dan, patiently awaiting a future PC release....

It's once again time for awards in the games industry, kicking off with the newly annual Game Awards.  We talk about the nominees and give our picks, while giving live results of the categories that were announced while we were recording.  We also cover the new Steam Awards and give some of our picks for them.

During What we Played Corey and Eric give their first impressions of Final Fantasy 15, to be covered more in depth next week.

Will takes the lead for this episode, having put in a substantial amount of time in all pokemon games in addition to the newly released Sun and Moon games.
