Factory Sealed Video Game Podcasts

Mime jokes and pot roast wheels chart the course for a trip through Super Mario Galaxy with a side of Luigi’s Mansion 3, Death Stranding, and a straddle contest winner.

Chrono Trigger consistently ranks near top in the pantheon of gaming gods, but does it really deserve to be there? We think so.

The prodigal son has returned! Dan Curtis joins the crew to talk about Bloodborne, Majora’s Mask, Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, and the sure-to-be-banned-everywhere video game adaptation of 50 Shades of Grey.

We’re out to settle the long-standing debate of which kart racer is the best. Mario Kart 64, Diddy Kong Racing, or Crash Team Racing? With a gun to our pouses, we are forced to crown a victor.

Often revered as one of the greatest RPGs of its era, The Legend of Dragoon feels more like a summer filled with household chores than a game worthy of such high praise. But does it have enough for us to see it through to the end?

Eric meets a potential serial killer while we polish off our Buster Swords, equip our best materia, and begin the first part of our deep dive into the gaming masterpiece that is Final Fantasy 7. Expect many Kleenex to be consumed.

Grab onto your Gamecube handle and get in shape with some (Coin) Ring Fit Adventure, press your cremated remains into your favorite game, and force your way through Luigi’s Mansion.

With a century of episodes behind us we celebrate by playing The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, sharing your favorite memories of the show, and sending a ghost to attack someone’s room by giving away the Jeeves box (and loads of other prizes!

2019 started with a bang and just kept going full tilt the whole way through. This left us to mull over the truly staggering number of games we played this year and whittle them down to our top 10; resulting in some rather unique lists.

Slip on your neon leg warmers on, perm that hair, and join us as we go back to the 80’s for a spot of GTA: Vice City and stop off for some discussion about the Nintendo Switch, Red Dead Redemption 2, and find out for yourself just how incredibly stupid one man can be when he describes a competition.

Conker’s Bad Fur Day, Rad Racer, Star Wars Episode I: Racer, heart shaped eye implants, fingernail scoops, and WAY too much talk about poop.

We delve way too deep into the history of the mystical land of Hett, predict E3 2018, and analyze the hell out of Final Fantasy IX disc 1.

BEAP BEAP! Eric and Mike pile into a semi full of Rocky bidets, flattening Dan on their way to discuss, Celeste, Ni No Kuni II, and Donkey Kong Country.

Despite a spectacular late arrival from Tom the Technophobe, the whole crew unites to annoy Eric by arguing that all games are RPGs. Also, learn how to be a good parent, gain more knowledge about Megaman X than you could possibly ever need, and enjoy the briefest celebration of Zelda’s 30th anniversary you’ve ever heard.

This Halloween we tackle Silent Hill 2 and join James Sunderland as he ventures into his own personal hell to look for his wife. Her name is Mary. She sent him a letter. Have you seen her? She’s dead.

We react to the Nintendo Switch, Jess contracts the G-Virus and manages to miss our playthrough of Resident Evil 2 (although we didn’t notice) and we reveal the winners of our Card Fighter competition.

Dan’s back from Australia to save the show once again as we talk about Nintendo Labo, God of War and also talk about God of War.

Phone sex operator Jess returns, cars are on fire, Super Star Wars is absurdly difficult, and apparently 600 clicks on a screen tell us our top games of all time.

It’s all coming into focus. Squall is finally opening up, Rinoa is a Sorceress, Laguna is President, and monsters are falling from the moon. But who is Ultimecia and how are the past, present, and future going to become one?

We learn all about mermaid camp, Tom’s awkward erection on the beaches of Greece, and start our adventure through the kingdom of Hyrule in The Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past.
