We also pick one game each month to take a closer look and explore from beginning to end! Come for the bizarre intro theme, stay for the trivia.

Halloween is almost here and the spooky season is coming to a close. To send things off with a bang we are celebrating by having a trivia game show contest with a spooky theme! All questions will be related to horror games such as Silent Hill, Five Nights at Freddy's, old school horror games - and more!

The moment has finally arrived - our 5 year episode anniversary celebration is here! Way back between episodes 12 and 13 we snuck in a bonus episode dealing with the origins of 'The Beats'.

Hello! Due to some scheduling conflicts we are going to combine Muff's deep dive of RBI baseball into our next episode for Summer Vibe Games. For this episode, we are going to instead look deep into the Beat of the Month archives and find clips from old shows that have never been heard before. Some may be gaming related and some may be completely random. Some may have our "passable" audio quality you've grown to expect, and some clips may sound like garbage. If this is your first

2025/05/28

The Nintendo Switch 2 is fast approaching, so we decided to take one last look at the original Nintendo Switch - the greatest video game of all time! OK maybe I'm going a bit overboard with that last statement, but the Switch has been wildly successful and it's life cycle coming to an end is a big event. First, we take a trip back to the launch and share our thoughts on the early lineup of games and our launch day experiences. Then we take a look at the games, the peripherals, the online

We might be a day late seeing as this episode is posting April 1st, but this is our annual March Madness bracket, and it's a wild one! Instead of choosing a theme first and then selecting the 64 applicable items to battle it out, we instead choose 64 random gaming items and then decide what the theme is before the deliberations begin. So it's a mix of games, characters, systems, even songs - all going head to head. Wait, what does Samuel L. Jackson have to do with video games? Well, maybe
