September 03, 2023 Ep. 165: Kirby Was Born In 1992 (Feat. Kirby Pinball Land)
Hey Podtimists,
As it turns out Kirby is 31 years old which makes him a Millennial. Uhhhh, yeah, that just happened! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Anyway, today we talked about the best Kingdom Hearts rhythm game, Armored Core 6 and the spooky Blasphemous 2.
We also talk about Kirby Pinball Land and bananas story that listener Rob K sent in to us about that game. Thanks for your suggestion Rob!

Hey Podtimists,
This week, we celebrate the homecoming of Bruce the cat. This of course means we talked about Horizon Forbidden West, a Golf Game, Dragon Quest Builders 1 and Slay the Spire. Welcome Bruce.
We also played through a top down fantasy game NOT named Baldur's Gate. That one was suggested to us by listener Dakota. Thanks Dakota!

August 13, 2023Ep. 162: Davinity Original Grin (Feat. The Bouncer)
Hey Podtimists,
Cool news time! We're now a part of The Worst Garbage podcast network! We're both hugely excited about this and are stoked to join such an excellent group of folks making podcasts. We go over what that means in the first few minutes, but fear not we're still talkin' podtimisticly about video games.
If you want to come hang out we've got a shared home on the TWG discord. Come hang out!
This week Chase has a small pile of good indie games and David finally closes the book on Tears of the Kingdom.
Then we go over one of the stranger games in Square's catalog. It's THE BOUNCER.

August 06, 2023Ep. 161: Kenny Monologue-ins (Feat. The Darkness)
Hey Podtimists,
Have you considered monologuing today? It feels pretty good and is a great way to sort out your feelings. Anyway, David moved and upgraded his pod chamber to pod lair, but is still playing Zelda. Meanwhile, Chase played Bioshock 2 and Pikmin 4.
We also talked about The Darkness which was suggested to us by Cowboy Josh. Thanks Josh!

July 30, 2023Ep. 160: Brothers, It’s About Your Two Sons (Feat. AJ and Kim)
Hey Podtimists,
Remember when we said that our unofficial name for our kind of third season was 'Come One, Come All'? Here's the payoff for that. This episode we're joined by the wonderful AJ and Kim from Asynchronous. They were kind enough to come on the show and talk about things like: video games, Brothers, solo tabletop RPGs and which thumb is Greg. It's a great time.
You can find Kim on Tubmlr and AJ on Bluesky and on Twitter
Also if you haven't already check out Asynchronous and Frog of the Week, both of them are very good podcasts!

July 23, 2023Ep. 159: 2 Bu 2 Furious (Feat. Ultimate Spiderman)
Hey Podtimists,
This week David starts his very first Mario RPG, can you guess which one?? (You can just look at the games mentioned section down below here. Impress your friends with a good guess!)
Then (for the first time in VGP history) Chase only brings a single game to the show to talk about. That said, he talked about it for 45 minutes but who's counting??
Finally, we walked through web-slinging history with Ultimate Spiderman. This one was suggested to us by Killian. Thanks Killian!

Hey Podtimists,
Where were you when you heard Hoobastank was going on tour and that they'd be performing at the Borders Books in Fresno, California? It's a moment that hit us all, and one we'll not soon forget.
This week we want to thank Dan for suggesting Subnautica. Thank you Dan!
We also want to thank both Dave C and Hill for suggesting the Pokemon Trading Card Game. This game owns and Chase is shocked it took him this long to play it. Thanks to you both!
