Video Game Podtimism

Hey Podtimists,

This week Chase plays two absolute bangers, one about being a ruler in a tower and another about beating the Biddy Blas over and over again.

We also took a deeper look at 2022's Gameboy release The Machine. This was suggested to us by listener Sean. Thank you Sean!

We also took a deeper look at the strange but EXTREMELY playable Albert Odyssey for the Saturn. It's a good one!

Thanks so much to Matt for coming on and hanging out!
