Weekly Games Chat

The last "live" episode of 2022 ends with a game - turned topic - that Chris has been waiting for. It's called High on Life. This game is from the Co-Creator of Rick and Morty and published by Squanch Games.  The game is a comedic, first person shooter game full of that aforementioned Rick and Morty humor. As a matter of fact - Chris noted that if you are a fan of that - this game would most likely be a joy for you to play. He also cautioned, while you could still enjoy it if you're not a fan - you might also not.  But hey, currently it's on Game Pass - give it a go! The holiday season is in full swing, so being the nice guy he is - Chris gave you a SECOND topic. WHAT?!?! It was a blast from the past for sure. We hope you enjoy. Staying in that holiday vibe - we want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday. Thanks for making 2022 awesome! Next time - join us live on twitch - twitch.tv/weeklygameschat. As always thanks once again for the twitch chat, emails, tweets...you know...alllll the things. EMAILS - please send to [email protected]. We don't want Chris to threaten us with THANOS do we?!?! I'm just saying GAME ON everyone!

Annnnd we're back baby! You found us and we thank you! This week all 3 friends are together again to discuss the new Ubisoft game  - Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope. Chris and Jon played the game, and both spoke very high on how this would be a perfect entry to the  tactical genre.  Both also mentioned that it's great for "Mario" fans out there - of course meaning the iconic Nintendo character. Jon played the O.G. Mario + Rabbids game, and still had high praise for this new editions. Chris teased up knowledge on potentially being able to play with 4 on a screen vs 3 (What Jon had seen to this point) and you should have seen Jon's giddiness. I'll speak more on how you could see that in just a moment.  It was interesting to hear them both speak on the game knowing this was Chris's first and Jon's second Mario + Rabbid's game. Fun fact! - Shaun might ask for this for Christmas. Just sayin In case you missed it - you could have seen us LIVE on twitch.tv/weeklygameschat.  We are usually there on Tuesdays at 5:30 - ish EST.    A BIG Thanks goes out to all of YOU who keep this show going.

Hello! Welcome to the World's GREATEST Podcast about video games, ever. This week Jon returns, so the Tri- Force is once again whole #zelda. The timing of Jon's return lines up with the release of the topic for this week - which is A Plagues Tale: Requiem. Where Jon was, the internet was spotty at best but he still was able to play quite a bit. Chris was able to complete the game, so the stage was set for a good discussion.  Wait, Shaun...yeah...he wanted to play. He had alllll the time to play the first game, in anticipation. But alas, the show went on. During the review you'll hear high praise for the game despite it being a "AA" studio/title.  A far as it being a sequel, you'll hear that it's a direct sequel - meaning it picked up right where the first game left off. Finally, when it's Richard time - you may find yourself saying, well...I need to play this! Shot out to the Twitch chat and to everyone who came out to twitch and saw us on twitch.tv/weeklygameschat.  We are usually there on Tuesday at 5:30 - ish EST.  Some sad news - This week we learned that Leslie Jordan passed away, Shaun learned Leslie became very TikTok famous, but prior won a Primetime Emmy fo his role on Will & Grace.   - we definitely hope he rests in peace.  A BIG Thanks goes out to all of YOU who keep this show going.

Well hello there! Welcome to the GREATEST Podcast about Video Games, ever. #humble This week no Jon - So Chris and Shaun decided to kick back watch some anime. And cover it, as a topic on show. There is a tie in - it's Cyberpunk. More specific, it's Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.  A Netflix show - contained 10 Episodes of cyberpunk goodness! Listen, this anime is soooo good to the point Shaun and Chris are like alright, it's Richard time. And let's say they both had HIGH MARKS. Just saying. If this was in the mix for GOTY, it's not because it's not a game, it might be the GOTY.  The story, the animations, the music - all of it.....glorious. It's super cool to see and note that Cyberpunk's creators  CD Projekt Red are tied closely to the show's creation and development and some have noted this may be some of the anime studio Trigger's best work.  Legit - for fans of the Cyberpunk world, this is a must watch.   Shot out to the Twitch chat and to everyone who came out to twitch and saw us on twitch.tv/weeklygameschat.  We are usually there on Tuesday at 5:30 - ish EST.  Some sad news - This week we learned that Robbie Coltrane passed away, you'd know him as Hagrid in the Harry Potter movies - we definitely hope he rests in peace.  A BIG Thanks goes out to all of YOU who keep this show going.

Hello once again! Welcome to the WORLD'S GREATEST Podcast about video games. We are glad to have you! Our topic this week is a game that originally came out in 2020 as a early access. It's name??? Well, it's called Grounded. Chris says it's a classic "tree puncher" - a term he says that we all should know (to his real life friends) - however, I (Shaun) have never heard of it. So this game is actually a survival and sometimes horror game. The catch, your like tiny - think "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" small.  And there's ants, lady bugs, spiders....ummmmm...and they're "Normal Sized".  The cool thing Chris mentions is that the game actually has a story in a way that only  Obsidian can do it. Overall, Chris really enjoyed this game so much so - that if you own a PC or Xbox and can get this on GamePass....he said to do it. Have fun and play with friends. That's what it's all about isn't - having fun and playing with your friends. Shot out to the Twitch chat and to everyone who came out to twitch and saw us on twitch.tv/weeklygameschat.  We are usually there on Tuesday at 5:30 ish EST.  Prior to the show we learned that Dame Angela Lansbury passed away - we definitely hope she rests in peace.  A BIG Thanks goes out to all of YOU who keep this show going.
