We've just finished up playing card games against people... what if we played a card game against an owl? This week we played Ring of Pain a card game rogue-like with a circle mechanic that has to be seen to be... believed? Understood? I don't know.... but check it out!

So what is up with Magic...? We don't know... Let's find out! I know we prefaced this in the show but like... we are NOT professional magic players we are, in fact, a generalist gaming podcast. We have essentially no idea what we are doing and should be considered wrong at all times before ever being considered right. You have been warned.

Cyberpunk 2077 (Act 3/The End)

The Tyranny of Thumbs ·

2021/01/27

The end is near. And no I don't mean the Cyberpunk inspired future we all see coming... I mean the end of our Cyberpunk 2077 podcast series! As this game wraps up, you'll be amazed to hear just how many people had their final impressions changed by the ending. In both directions. Also, our resident game completionist Zoë reports back on what it means to do all the side quests and all the gigs. Tune in to the end for the final verdict in her official Diamonds to Rough ratio report. If you have

2021/01/20

And we're back! The first official game podcast of 2021 is here. And it's... COD ZOMBIES. Woah. Did we need a break from GOTY? Did we need a break from Cyberpunk? I'll never tell. Also fun fact, punctuation for this episode title will likely be the hardest thing I'll think about today.

Cyberpunk 2077 (First Impressions/Act 1)

The Tyranny of Thumbs ·

2020/12/16

It's a madhouse in here. In this episode, and in what might be the largest group we've recorded with yet, we talk about our first impressions of this hotly anticipated title Cyberpunk 2077. Did we just play a game on release? That's odd. In terms of spoilers, we mostly don't talk story in this episode and when we do, we talk only up to the end of Act 1 or "The Heist" mission.

Amazeballs everyone. Welcome to the thrilling conclusion of our Life is Strange playthrough where we discuss episodes 3-5. Also in this episode, McCoy explains why James is essentially a math proof and Gabe has a trash take on the level of the OG. Did we hammer the point home hard enough that we have a playthrough on YouTube for Life is Strange? Would you believe it? We've elevated our Instagram to something we actually use!!!

"While you were out partying, Zoë was studying the blade" As the rest of life speeds by with an almost staggering pace, Zoë's been silently honing her combat skills and what we've got for you here is the proof to show for it. This is a podcast from the top of the mountain. Join McCoy and Zoë as they (drunk on victory wine) discuss this iconic game and Zoë's first foray into a "Souls-Like". Oh and stay till the end of this podcast if you want to hear Zoë's updated boss tier list (warning there
