What makes a mascot? Is it the cool clothes, the reckless attitude, the finger-wagging guilt they inherit by association? Who knows and frankly, who cares? In today's bonus episode we sift through a cavalcade of videogame characters that for one reason or another, have sold their soul to sell a game. Get your system-specific hats ready and let's get talkin about these freaks!

There are two questions we should ask ourselves before we die - what is God's plan and how many videogame consoles did he own growing up? He's not a real gamer if it's less than three, bottom line. From the onset, religion in videogames has always been a taboo topic - but why? On today's episode we finally get real and take a theological approach to our favorite hobby. So in the name of the Father, Son and Sega Genesis...let's pray.

If you build it, they will come. And as long as LEGO keeps building video game adaptations of properties, we'll be here to play them! On today's bonus episode, we talk about those adorable Danish bricks and what movies (or people!) we would like to see as the next big LEGO game.

Just as Mario finishing every level, we have finished 2021 only to find out our princess is in another castle. But the joke is on her because last year was ugly and we hated her anyway. So aside from resolutions to trim our gaming diet we also proudly present the first episode of the new year. Today we talk about games we played for hours without sleep, bad ideas from friends, funerals for nuns, the trolls of twitter and much more! So tell us, gamer - are you ready for your second playthough?

On today's bonus episode, we discuss the 1954 novel "Lord of the Flies" and its themes of human impulse, individuality, and the loss of innocence. Just kidding, we just put videogame characters on an deserted island and see who kills who first.

These are the can't-miss, must-have presents that you DON'T want to go without. So pour another glass of expired eggnog, pull out that credit card that's not yours and zero in with gamer focus: it's shoppin' time!

They say that "life, uh, finds a way". And with that we finally found a way to dedicate an entire episode to the only videogame appearance (probably) of the weirdest actor ever - Jeff Goldblum. Join us in watching the secret ending of a 1997 Jurassic Park game no one remembers - not even Goldblum himself!

The Grand Theft Auto series is known for many controversial moments but there was only one that made us want to take all our clothes off. On today's bonus episode we talk about the infamous "Hot Coffee Mod" from GTA: San Andreas and its terrifying VR potential.

CAUTION - THOSE THAT ENTER THIS PODCAST EPISODE WILL BE SPOOKED ON SIGHT! If that warning didn't scare you away then you are brave enough to join us for our very first spooktacular Halloween episode. What horror games were the best? What moments scared us to death? Why is Kevin Spacey in a Call of Duty game? Trust us - you'll shudder once you hear all the answers. So enter if you dare and don't forget your flashlight. Trust us, strange things happen in the dork.

Boss battles come and go but only one has ever tried to question your gaming library while doing it. In today's bonus episode we shine the spotlight on "Psycho Mantis" from Metal Gear Solid and his unorthodox method of doxxing.
