Have you ever heard of the 'Nemesis System?' No? That's not surprising! The 'Nemesis System' is a patented game mechanic that was only included in two games in the mid 2010s. Despite the mechanic only existing for about 50 hours of gameplay, it's impact runs deep. For nearly a decade, gamers have been begging for another Nemesis-ed game to get their grubby little paws on. Well, lucky for those gamers, we're here to pitch the best games to get 'Nemmy." Matt is adding consequences to a game that's

Pets. They're the best part of living! We love them, we care for them, they eat us out of house and home. Some people love cats. Some people love dogs. Some people love greasy cephalopods on fire. Some people love dinosaurs that spit lightning. Today, we set out to decide who the people love most and "which Monster Hunter monster would make the best pet?" Todd is bringing the heat.

In the distant past of 2014, humanity was forever changed upon the discovery of a big ol' space orb floating above Mars. The big ol' space orb terraformed planets across our solar system and granted us with the Power of LightTM, ushering in a new Golden Age. But, that Golden Age wouldn't last forever. Eventually, the forces of DarknessTM found us and did a near-genocide, and now humanity is on the brink of extinction. Fortunately, the big ol' space orb resurrected a bunch of people and gave them

It was a quiet night in Cincinnati, OH when the call went out for a podcast to perform live and spice up the night. We answered that call and swore to host a live podcast the likes of which Cincinnati, OH had never seen.

The last month of the year calls for a hoard of annual, year-end traditions. For some, that may involve decorating evergreen pines, for others, the estimation of Q4 tax payments, but for those of us of a certain generation, the last month of the year can mean only one thing: Spotify Wrapped. For those uninitiated, Spotify users receive a fun little slide show showcasing what songs they listened to most this year. It's all fun and games except this year, Spotify did a bad job.

This month, we are diving into the entire story of the game franchise former Presidential candidate Joseph Lieberman doesn't want you to play, it's Mortal Kombat! For a property that's got more timelines than the MCU, it's actually pretty amazing how consistent Mortal Kombat is about its lore.
