No good deed goes unpunished

2023/02/10

This week, Chamberlain tried to do a nice thing. He tried to buy Chance a game that he really liked, Hi Fi Rush, so that Chance would give it a try. Things did not go as planned. Instead of shooting robots to the beat of life he shot noobs in Overwatch and werewolves in Resident Evil VII. Alex did play Hi Fi Rush, and liked what he played, but the call of another Persona 5 playthrough was too strong. Chamberlain revisited the Xbox 360 era with Evil West, a game that feels like an escapee from a time

It was the best of times

Only good games this week! Chance and Alex have enjoyed the return of space horror, proving that the only thing that can top Dead Space is, well, better Dead Space. Aesthetic issues with the final suit aside, it is everything that a remake should be, raising the bar for even the upcoming Resident Evil 4 remake. Chamberlain choice bright and bouncy over dark and slimy, playing through Hi-Fi Rush. This is the happiest he has been about a game in a long time. His enthusiasm is almost hard to

Dead expectations

2023/01/27

Much to everyone's surprise and relief, it looks like EA as not screwed up the Dead Space remake. More on that next week, but Chance and Alex have already put down their hard earned money. Content with the opposite experience, Chamberlain played The Calisto Protocol, and in spite of it looking pretty good and the combat not being as bad as you have heard, the game is boring, and not scary, and he does not recommend it. Chance got a head start on horror remakes by playing Resident Evil 2 remake

Convenient Distractions

2023/01/20

Chamberlain meant to have a first hand report on The Calisto Protocol this week. He got as far as installing it before opting for an over priced remake of an old PS2 game: Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance II. It's still good, especially if you can't see very well. Chance played, and walked away from, Horizon Forbidden West. Last time it was for Elden Ring, this time is because the game is just easy to walk away from. And Alex can confirm that The Last Of Us on HBO is worth your time even if playing The

Catching up

2023/01/13

We welcome 2023 with a special, bonus sized episode! There is much to catch up on: Chance joined Chamberlain in appreciating the mediocrity of Gotham Knights before taking no pleasure at all in Psychonauts 2. Alex will forgive him. Eventually. Chamberlain took a tour of little games with High on Life (it turns out you can have too many dick jokes), Sword of the Vagrant and Astro Aqua Kitty. And Alex shied away from Midnight Suns for Chained Echoes.

Games of the Year 2022

2022/12/16

Not to be outdone by Geoff Keighley and his insufferable fashion choices (and the show's lackluster security), Chamberlain, Chance and Alex bring your their picks for the best games of 2022. No ads, no trailers, no WORLD PREMIERS, just three guys who play a lot of video games gushing about their favorites. And then Chance talks about Overwatch. An early congratulations to Alex who is getting married next week! In honor of his nuptials, and Christmas, we will me taking next week off.

The opposite of afterglow

Apologies for a slightly distracted episode. The Game Awards are on as we speak and Chamberlain is having a very difficult time dividing his attention. He turned his nose up at Bayonetta 3 this week (for not being as good as God of War, among other glaring issues) and has wrapped himself up in Eastward, a game that could not be more A Link to the Past if it tried. Alex is slowing learning Midnight Suns, the best Marvel anything to arrive in, well, quite some time, so long as you have the stomach for

God of War Ragnarök spoilercast

2022/12/02

Caution listeners! This week is full of God of War Ragnarök spoilers! Nothing is off limits, so if you have not played it yet (and you have a way to do so) what have you been doing these last three weeks? The days after finishing a potential game of the year are always difficult to fill. Chamberlain chose violence, specifically, violence in very bad games. He played Gungrave G.O.R.E., enjoyed it, and is making no apologies. Alex had the audacity to play another very good, albeit entirely different

Attention listeners! This is week two of our God of War Ragnarök coverage, meaning open spoilers for approximately the first twenty hours of the game. Ye be warned! Non spoiler reactions are as follows: it's still really good, perhaps one of the best games of the year. Kratos continues to develop, Atreus gives him teenage level sass and (redacted's) vocal performance has actually improved. Also, Alex is not here, curse his internet.

Welcome to Ragnarök, or Fimbulwinter, or the time of year that AAA games emerge to dominate leisure time and pocket books alike. You know, not quite the end times but still not great, like late stage capitalism. But Chamberlain and Chance have the cure, and that cure is hitting things with an axe until they stop moving, then hitting them once more for good measure. Spoilers for God of War Ragnarök will be limited to the first three or so hours of the game this week, but next week all bets will most

Fans will do desperate things to pass the time while waiting. God of War Ragnarök arrives in less than a week. Since sleeping for weeks on end is not an option, Chamberlain played New Tales from the Borderlands to save anyone else the trouble. Believe it or not, it is worse than you have read. Alex found I Was a Teenage Exocolonist, something nice and new for his Steam Deck. And Chance played Overwatch 2, which means it is time for the triumphant return of Chance's hate mail bag.

A very spooky episode - top horror games of all time

2022/10/28

Everyone knows that the internet is for lists and arguing. Chamberlain, Chance and Alex bring their top four horror games to the fight, but there are no fisticuffs. No, there is a surprising amount of agreement that you need to hear to believe. Also this week: Chamberlain is bad at Overwatch, Alex is passable at Final Fantasy XII and Chance is unnervingly good at Darkest Dungeon 2.

Something wicked this way comes

Chamberlain is beside himself with anticipation. Konami and Capcom made announcements, one day apart, on the Silent Hill and Resident Evil franchises. On top of that, he is playing two good games at the same time: Black Book and Plague Tale: Requiem. Men do not deserve such bounty. Chance has settled into the new Overwatch grind: enjoying the gameplay and being disappointed with everything else. This will go on, without interruption, for years. And Alex is nearly finished with his second trip

Week three of the Steam Deck and Alex is still in love. He takes it work, hides it under his desk, playing games from his library of shame at any and every opportunity. Hot tip: Red Dead Redemption 2 doesn't work, Cyberpunk does and Ubisoft titles are to be avoided. Week 1.5 of Overwatch 2 and all of Chance's problems have been solved right up until they nerfed Zenyatta. He's not salty, he just plays Darkest Dungeon 2 to relax. And Chamberlain has successfully filled one week of his time with

Overwatch 2 has been out for two days. If you have the patience of a saint, or Chance, then you just might have played it. Chance has played three matches since release and had the play of the game in two of them, so if nothing else his skill has not been diminished by Blizzard's wanton buffoonery. Chamberlain refuses to wait in a virtual line to play a game he is bad at so instead he finished up Soulstice, which was not bad, if you don't mind a game that feels fresh out of the PS2 era. And Alex is

Some like it hard

Chance has been passing his pre-Overwatch 2 hours with a series of difficult games, highlighted by Tunic, a game that is just as cute as it is punishing, and Darkest Dungeon 2, a game whose developers take pleasure in finding new ways to torment players. Chamberlain is not very good at videogames. He played Prodeus on medium, had a wonderful time, and is button mashing his way through Soulstice because pushing a button and watching a monster die is fun. Alex wins the prize for content of the week

Stormy weather

2022/09/23

Apologies in advance. Chamberlain and Chance are quite powerful, almost mystically so, but they could not prevent storms in Alex's vicinity from stealing his internets prior to the completion of this episode. Enjoy your time with him while you can, as he is still enjoying his time with Yakuza Like a Dragon. Chamberlain finished Soul Hackers 2 (spoilers inside!) and is disappointed by how not insane the ending was. He also hates Steal Rising, but it is a souls-like, so no surprise there. And Chance

Lots of news, nothing to play

It is true that there is very little new to play at the moment, but there were certainly a lot of videos of games that we will play in the future. Hopefully. Nintendo, Sony, Ubisoft and Capcom of all companies released a ton of information. If you love farming sims, Nintendo is there for you, along with some Zelda game. Ubisoft is making *gasp* more Assassins' Creed games and Capcom is, for the first time ever, doing exactly what players want. Chamberlain is still chipping away at Soul Hackers 2,

Some control is better than no control

Chamberlain is excited! Someone on the internet, this time is was Crystal Dynamic, said the words 'Legacy of Kain.' This is more than enough to create false hope that will be surely be crushed. He knows this, does not care, and is hiding in Soul Hackers 2 to avoid any further questions. Alex remains firmly ensconced in Destiny 2. The fine, fine Bungie magic is too strong to let him go. And Chance once again makes the mistake of trying a game Chamberlain liked. Someday he will learn.
