Wow, that's a wrap folks. Two and a half years of podcast comes to a close. I love you all dearly, and I can't thank you enough for tuning in even if it was just a few times. This podcast saved my sanity during the pandemic, brought me new friends and collaborators every week, and just allowed some simple folks to sit around and talk about how cool video games are. Aren't they cool? Our finale episode features Rhi and Alyssa returning for one last jamboree as we collect submissions for game ideas from you lovely listeners and turn them into GOTY winning, best selling games! Please enjoy! Much love. 

Thank you to the following listeners for submitting ideas! Aerith, Andrew R, Annie, Austin, Axel, BetterPegGreg, Calcputer, CommodoreFez, Darwin, DC, Derryberry, Gaspard, IKJones04, Justyn, Kate, Kenny McAwesomepantz, LizardRock, Momo, Moonlit Rainfall, Neeeeeeeil, Ryu, Sarim, Sunny, T Bex, Werty, and Zanna.

Don't unsub yet! In just a few weeks, Jess and Felicia and I will return for The Last of Bust right here in this feed, a companion podcast for HBO's The Last of Us. Tune in for predictions, recaps, hot takes, discussion about the games and more. We'll still occasionally do the odd spoilercast for game movie/TV adaptations, so stick around!

This podcast is my baby and it's sad to put it to rest, but my life has changed dramatically since mid 2020 and it's time to move on to other projects both on the internet and in my real life. Thank you all for the opportunity to hang out in your ears! - Nirav

We sit down with professional video game/animation voice actor and narrative designer David Giltinan to talk about the ins and outs of the game industry, what it's like to be a voice actor, the creative process, the new RPG Mato Anomalies he's writing, and of course the Bayonetta controversy. This is a light one with a lot of laughs, so grab a nice cup of tea and sit down on the couch with us. Come on! There's plenty of room.

This week, Nirav and Alyssa get cozy and chat about the development and legacy of the excellent horror party game Phasmophobia. Spooks abound this week as we get ready for the best holiday of the year by yelling random crap at our friends in the dark and screaming as we're dragged to hell. Oh yeah, here's the real ghost Nirav found in that house. Fuck me, right?

That's it! This is the last HOTD you're ever gonna get. At least until summer 2024... Nirav, Jess, and Felicia group up around the fire one last time to discuss the season 1 finale of House of the Dragon. Hear our final thoughts about the episode, the season, the characters, narwhals, and our predictions for what'll go down in season 2. Hint: Someone is gonna slip on a banana peel and get Mr. Beaned right into a dragon's mouth.

If we find a new Dragon-themed show, we'll be back! 

If you're wondering about the foot-shaped elephant in the room, don't worry - we address it. This week we're covering episode 9 of House of the Dragon and making our predictions for the finale! Jess teaches us all about the rules of cricket, Felicia finds yet another hidden son, and Nirav mourns the loss of his TV wife Olivia Cooke. Join us next Wednesday for the finale discussion!

Dragon Busters is a limited run podcast comin at you every Tuesday night right here!

Nirav and Alyssa, who both have hundreds of hours in Overwatch, sit down to talk about the development cycle, less than stellar launch, and state of gameplay of Overwatch 2. It's uh, kinda messy. But hey! Some of it's great. Most of it isn't though. I like Orisa's new hair a LOT. $20 for a Junker Queen recolor skin though, huh. Interesting. 

Every other week, Nirav, Alyssa and a rotating panel of self-proclaimed experts dive into the history and development of the games you love. Find us at https://gamebusterspod.com and @gamebusterspod on Twitter!
