Helldivers 2 (2024)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2024/09/10

We've got Hunter, EJ, and Alec aka "Root" today on to talk about the multiplayer sensation that is HELLDIVERS 2. This game is a whole lot of fun to play with your buds and it's got some real solidly executed comedy underneath. We also go into the drama zone and talk about some of the missteps sony has taken along the way. Hunter also makes fun of the critical response to last week's episode but remember that he loves you. ;) To see the most up to version of The OGA 100, visit

Mortal Kombat 2 (1994) *Retro Game Tournament...

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2024/09/03

We're back on our 1994 game! This episode we catch up on what Electronic Gaming Monthly was up to over the summer of '94 and we announce our patreon retro game tournament which will be coming to the community and we'll be streaming it this October! We also talk a bit about Mortal Kombat 2 which is a game that was heavily featured in all the magazines but is not really our cup of tea by any stretch of the imagination.

Wildermyth (2021)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2024/08/20

We're near the end of OGA Summer Break, and EJ and Matt got to sit down one final time together to talk about another game that EJ has sunk MANY hours into: Wildermyth. You might have forgotten that this game even came out a couple of years ago, but EJ sure didn't. And remembering stuff about the game is like half of the game. (That's a good joke that will make sense once we explain what this even is...)To see the most up to version of The OGA 100, visit

The Case of the Golden Idol (2022)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2024/08/08

Matt and EJ are back with some more sweet games from 2022, which seem to be filling up our summer break episodes. The Case of the Golden Idol seemed right up our alley and sometimes things are exactly what they seem. More importantly, this was a delightfully tricky puzzle game that didn't take a ton of time to complete!To see the most up to version of The OGA 100, visit https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/194Zs7HY9o2y4dgOQLsQXT0Q0cBW_Q1WZzkwqG-ALqi0/edit?usp=sharing.

2024/07/12

Hunter and Sun are back with a newish game from one of the weirdest guys to do it, Sam Barlow. This discussion has like a whole bunch of SPOILERS so do not listen to it if that bothers you.

Final Fantasy 4 (1991) (Feat. Exothermic)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2024/07/02

We're talking a very classic game today, one that stands tall over a lot of games that we care about on this show. This one broke a lot of ground and old heads will think fondly of it forever. Do millennials like it though? If so, how much? Today we speak for an entire generation of game playin' individuals. Special thanks to Exothermic for joining in on this crossover episode and helping out with our list of 100 games. Check out his channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ExothermicPlaysGames Check

Cities: Skylines (2015)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2024/06/29

Summer Tour continues with Matt and EJ talking about their shared interest in more simulation games! We've reveled in the bygone days of Roller Coaster Tycoon, now listen as we talk about the modern era with Cities: Skylines. This game is perhaps more relaxing just to watch than it is to play and THAT'S OKAY. It can still be one of your favorite games even if you've never played more than 5 hours of it yourself...To see the most up to version of The OGA 100, visit

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2024/06/18

It's Off-Topic Summer, and this week it's Matt and EJ's turn!

Oxenfree II: Lost Signals (2023)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2024/06/11

We're getting into some more recent off-topic stuff this week with a look at the emotional narrative game OXENFREE II. This game has charm and lots of heart but be prepared for spoilers because Hunter and Sun dig into the meat of this story game to such an extent that I feel like you could be kinda mad about it if you listened. So brace yourself buddy. Also just feel free to play the dang thing if you want to!LINKS TO OGA/SCPT LIVE SHOW AND HUNTER STANDUP SHOWS

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2024/06/04

SUMMER HAS BEGUN AND WE'RE STARTING COLD. This week the Sanders brothers are talkin' their favorite old Hockey game NHL '94 for the SNES and Genesis. They also sorta talk about NHL '95 and '96. They also just kind of talk about hockey in general. It's real good chill one and it sets the stage for a wonderful summer of fun episodes about all kinds of stuff.

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2024/05/28

Our Animal Well episode is going to be late this week due to Matt literally getting hit with a tornado. It sucks so be nice to him. As an alternative we're going to go ahead and release our April Patreon bonus episode which is about the Three Colours Trilogy by Krzysztof Kieślowski. If you love video games then you'll love a discussion about these 30 year old psychological drama art-films.Special thanks to our guest and old friend, Andrew Camarillo!

Super Metroid (1994)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2024/05/21

It's Matt and EJ together, in person! We've been on a quest recently to gain more experience with the "Metroidvania" or "Search/Action" genre and this felt like one of the most important pieces of homework on our list. How does hold up all these years later?To see the most up to version of The OGA 100, visit https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/194Zs7HY9o2y4dgOQLsQXT0Q0cBW_Q1WZzkwqG-ALqi0/edit?usp=sharing.

Hades 2 (2024)

Old Gamer’s Almanac ·

2024/05/14

This maybe isn't a fair game to call a 2024 release since it's just entering Early Access, but we'll call this the state of Hades 2 in May of 2024. Hades spent multiple years in an Early Access that resulted in one of the favorite games of 2020, so it's safe to assume the team behind it can be trusted with this kind of task. But what does it mean to follow up Hades? To see the most up to version of The OGA 100, visit
