Toaster Squad

Every heard of a shady company called Konami? Yeah we have to. That’s what this show’s all about. We talk about the good and bad of the company, and screw around a lot. I mean A LOT. For ASA we talk about our favorite console generations.

Nintendo has had a lot to share recently. Some of it has been cool, some of it has been not so cool. Kirby Star Allies, Mario Tennis Aces, and Dark Souls 1 Remastered are among the cool. Playing all these games on a Switch is where Nintendo is making magic. Then we start talking about Labo. Nintendo’s new attempted at adding on to the Switch using cardboard. The cast is split on it’s potential.

Ever have that rush of making all 3 lives count on that last quarter? Nothing but an arcade can give you that feeling, and they’re mostly gone now. At least in their traditional fashion. J, Tyler, and Darren discuss arcades of the past, present and future.

The Toaster Squadcast starts of 2018 right, with an ASA all about our craziest wishes for the year. We’d like a good Star Wars game please! Moving on to the Rest Of The Show, the crew discusses the 1.0 update to Playerunkown’s Battlegrounds. There’s a new map, new vehicles, new weapons, and loads more to discuss. To wrap things up predictions are carried into the new year. Shadow of the Colossus is the new game on the slate this week.

Is it that time of the year already? When winter has arrived on half the globe, the Toaster Squad is ready to bring you their Game of the Year choices. Before they spill their secrets, ASA recaps Darren and Tyler’s predictions of the Game Awards, and ask: If you could revive a game series, what series would it be? The guys then share their personal Game of the Year, what the Worst Game of the Year was, and what we think will win Game of the Year in 2018.

It’s another Darren and Tyler special this week! Last time the two of them talked about RTS’s, so this time they’re talking about first person shooters. We get into how we got started with the genre, and all the games we’ve played over the years. Which first person shooters are our favorites? Tyler and Darren also take some time to predict the Game Awards during ASA!

Remember video games magazines? Yeah we barely do too. Now days they’ve been replaced by internet media that can report on everything the moment it happens. The Squad recalls upon their memories with video game magazines, and all the little things we used to get with them.

3 is a magic number, so it’s a good thing there were 3 of us this week right? Not exactly, we have a couple technical issues during this show, but we manage to work though them. ASA consists of taking a modern 3D game, and turning it into an 8-bit game that would be playable on the SNES. The Rest Of The Show is all about Star Wars Battlefront 2, and how EA is ruining it.

Two is the magic number for the Toaster Squadcast recently, as such it’s only Christian and Darren for most of the show. For ASA they talk about what piece of fiction they want to see made into an RPG that hasn’t already been made into one. Their choices tend to focus on the magical realm. For The Rest Of The Show, the lads discuss whether or not the Switch should be the last console from Nintendo. Surprisingly, we come to a general consensus for once. To wrap things up, Darren finally has the results to the COD WWII OpenCritic predictions.

Darren and J are back to running the show on their own. That won’t stop them from giving you an action packed episode. ASA is all about Overwatch League. They’re both particularly fond of the Spitfire, but have some differing opinions on the rest of the teams. The Rest Of The Show is all about news. We’ve gotten some big nuggets from Paris Games Week and recent Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon coverage.
