I didn't watch them. Genuinely felt there would be no surprises. i guess I was both right and wrong. Matt fills me in!

Dec 12, 2019

Heyooooo!

 

Today we talk Sony's latest State of Play, plus we debate what (if any) are the consequences of celebrities taking interest in starring in games.

 

Shine on!

Dec 5, 2019

We've talked about reviving dead series before, and always intended to discuss how we would modernize old IP. So, we finally gave that an episode.

 

This one is a long one, with many tangents. Enjoy!

Nov 28, 2019

Let's get mushy, and positive!

 

Shine on doods!

Mini Lorecast for the Donkey Kong Country Series

Nov 15, 2019

Once again we tried something new! We tried to record while watching live to have our live reactions on the podcast as well as a small round up after.

 

Also, we recorded this as a video. So watch when it's up and let us know if you like the format!

 

Shine on!

Nov 7, 2019

Matt's home! Let's catch up with some of his misadventures!

 

Also, trying something new. Podcast as a video will be up on YoVideogames Youtube.

Oct 24, 2019

Hey hey hey!

Today's episode is a bit different. Mike and I delve into the specifics of how we write screenplays with a beginning discussion on how we would execute an adaptation of the first game in the RE series.

 

It's all main story questions, and story beats, with a few key scenes talked about. Enjoy!

Oct 17, 2019

October is flying by!

With Matt disappearing on a trip for a couple weeks, we wanted to do some spoopy talk early.

 

Shine on!

Oct 10, 2019

 

What makes a console name good? Personally I think they've dropped the ball. Playstation 5? Really? Let's pump that up, now it's the Playstation Vendetta! Microsoft Xbox 2? nah f*** that! Microsoft Xplode! Just collect the money!

 

Anyway, hey I'm back from my honeymoon. :P

Oct 10, 2019

Hey doods!

 

Andrew is on his honeymoon, so I took advantage and got Mike from Easy Allies in on some Zelda talk! Enjoy and shine on!

Sep 26, 2019

It's our 200th episode! Thank you so much for listening. I hope you enjoy our take aways from Sony's fall update as well as our ad hoc Rambo and Ad Astra reviews!

 

Shine on doods!

Sep 19, 2019

Remake dos and don'ts! They're talking about a Princess Bride remake and that spawned this whole conversation about the dos and don'ts of remakes in games (and movies).

 

I 100 percent forgot to mention that I want a Silent Hill remake :/

Sep 12, 2019

It's my birthday! We talk movies this episode. Sometimes videogame movies. I tried to stay totally on topic. It didn't always work.

 

Enjoy!

Sep 5, 2019

Yesterday gave us an impressive Nintendo Direct full of great game announcements and updates, as well as surprising shadow drops.

 

Where was this gusto at E3? Who knows. But at least we got it here!

 

 

Aug 29, 2019
I couldn't help myself.
 
What's the episode about? Who cares with a genius pun like that for a title!?
 
Ok, ok. It's about making the jump from 2D to 3D, or rather which amazing 2D franchises failed to make the jump well. Is it because their mechanics just don't work? Or has it just not been done right yet?

Things we got excited for at gamescom! And some tangents...

Aug 15, 2019

Today we talk about how it seems to be the loop that a successful game leads to arrogance, which leads to a plateau that eventually spells the downfall of our favorite series.

Aug 8, 2019

Controversy. Announcements! EXCITEMENT!

 

It's EVO baby!

 

Enjoy our round up - and once again, sorry I couldn;t make it this year. But next year lets grab a drink!

Aug 1, 2019

It's FGC Christmas! Usually EVO has a few exciting announcements for the FGC and there's been a lot of crazy ass rumors spreading about this year - So we try to give you some realistic predictions to either temper your expectations or get you hype for what announcements may actually come!

 

Shine on Doods! 

 

And those of you going to EVO, have fun and i'm sorry I won't be there to shake your hand!

That is to say: no idea survives the marriage of commercial and creative pursuits. No triple A game, no movie, no song - makes it to your hands without having been censored or diluted in some way. It's a hot button issue right now to get riled up about censorship, but the truth is - this is how it's always been and always will be. And it's not always a bad thing.

 

We tend to side with the creators/developers in most things, however we do have to admit sometimes (SOMETIMES) the executives make the right call.

 

Here's the thread that sparked this discussion:  https://www.resetera.com/threads/dev-speaks-out-about-censorship-in-games.130401/ 

 

Buckle up, this is a long AF one!

Jul 17, 2019

Super Nintendo Land - or what I have called Super Nintendo Entertainment Land (SNEW for short) had a few models leak this week. And the park looks cool as hell!

 

Add to that a little controversy from pokemon fans, one that will ultimately mean nothing, and we have what's called a slow AF news day. But a fun conversation nonetheless. Shine on doods!

Jul 11, 2019

Nintendo announced the Switch Lite! FINALLY. And it has a few people riled up. I think it's cool if only somewhat late but this announcement mixed with it being Matt's Birthday week - led us into a conversation about switch lite, good gifts, and matt's fond gaming memories growing up. Dig in and shine on!

Jul 4, 2019

Today we talk about whether exclusivity still matters, if it actually costs companies money, and what exclusive would need to be announced to make us buy a system.

Jun 27, 2019

Last episode was named "Final Thoughts" but I was sick and we left a ton out to accommodate that. So, here is some additional thoughts - namely what was missing from E3 2019.
