Thumbstick Athletes

Shadow of Mordor is finally out and we get to experience what an Assassin's Creed, Batman Arkham, LOTR mash up would be like.  Hint: pretty sweet!

The Thumbstick Athletes cover the kickstarted old-school RPG Wasteland 2 this week, after Corey briefly discussing last week.

We had a little different pace for this week's episode, as we asked listeners to sumbit topics of discusson on or off the usual subject of gaming.

It's finally here!  After several long years of waiting for the next title from Bungie, gamers can finally get their hands on the MMO/FPS hybrid and find out if it lives up to it's lofty expectations.

In anticipation of the upcoming Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor, we go back and cover all of the LoTR games from the beginning and reminisce about the ones we've played.

The second part of our Fall Games preview, in which we cover November, December and unscheduled releases.

Our yearly preview of some of the games coming in the Fall of 2014.

Skyrim is a game that is meant to be modded, and the community certainly doesn't disappoint!  Graphics, weapons and armor, even entirely new landmasses were all created by players for Bethesda's already gigantic RPG.

Lots of big announcements from Gamescom this week, so we cover some of the bigger ones in a very E3-esque way.

We again don't have main topic this week, opting instead to cover some of this week's news stories in more depth.
