The realm of Nosgoth has been invaded by the dark forces of the Daydreamcast! Bro couldn't make it (of course I know him, he is me) but Murph and Calvin team up to discuss E3's legacy, the new shows that have filled in to replace it, and then they follow up by talking about Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain. A game with a unique tie to E3 and a very curious developer background, nothing is a more fitting way to spend this episode than to go to a random shackled person on the wall and drain their life force!Timestamps:1:45 Cal buys an Xbox19:45 Yakuza 331:00 Summer Special1:10:00 E3 Post-MortemGame of the Week:1:19:00 Blood Omen: Legacy of Kain

Then our Kaiju Minute explores how they reflect in different games, and maybe in some unexpected ways. Then we all clash with our game of the week.

Well dear listeners, we've decided to settle things down and go a little more relaxed and quiet this episode. Murph and Bro discuss some indie games they've played, Murph particularly discusses The Stanley Parable Ultra Deluxe, and then he explores the first entry in his new retrospective: Yakuza. While less crazy and refined than its successors, it still delivers a solid foundation for a franchise. Then, we discuss farming in video games. All two of them (just kidding).

We seem to have a crisis of dinosaurs! Journey with us as we basically talk about three things: Elden Ring, dinosaur games, and Dino Crisis. Elden Ring takes about half the podcast and if you still stuck around for the rest of the cast, thank you. You're very loyal and we love you. Dino Crisis is an action oriented dinosaur version of Resident Evil, also directed by Shinji Mikami.

Murph has played some obscure indies and Bro played an old game. What a shock! After, we try to escape the top-secret Black Mesa facility as Gordon Freeman. Has the game aged well enough? Can we forgive the mistakes it's made in the name of innovation or is it just impossible to have fun? After, we also examine its sequel: Half-Life 2.

Episode 30: Epic Mickey (2010)

A new videogame podcast by the editors of thetwingeeks.com

David brings Pavlos and Bro back from the brink of extinction to talk about the things that matter most: Metroid and monkey balls. David tells us the virtues of playing the original Super Monkey Ball in a game bar. He packages this with his own pro gamer strats and insights into the world of speed-eating-while-taking-turns-playing-video-games. It's a niche sport, but it'll catch on. We talk about other stuff, too, eventually. Like Banana Mania, the Castlevania Advanced Collection, and the new Nintendo Switch Online plan. All are revived old things, but some we like more than others! David tries to create a theme for the cast with further Metroid discussions on Prime and Dread, but all this turns out to be a ruse to host Pavlos's intervention. Pavlos explains that he doesn't have an addiction to Final Fantasy XIV as the recorded days of playtime start to stack up! Eventually we move on to our game of the week: Metroid Fusion. The 2002 GBA title may differ from its franchise's legacy, but it turns out to be what makes the game great in the first place. As Samus faces off against the new X parasite, the new, more linear structure might actually help the game's narrative and put it above most genre peers in this department. We also examine the flaws, as is our wont, and, of course, meditate on the idea of elegance. Samus may be more like a tank than a dancer... or something. At the end (and the beginning), we address the certain and uncertain aspects of the podcast's future. Make no mistake! We will determine the game of the year for 1986. Our very lives depend on it.

Summer vacation is over and your favourite podcast returns with a nice sun tan to discuss all manners of video gaming! Joined by our friend Stephen from sister podcast Ranking the Monsters we tackle most, hell, every new release you could possibly care about, from Psychonauts 2 to WarioWare: Get It Together!, from (urgh) Twelve Minutes to that Skyward Sword re-release, from yet another Pokémon spin-off to yet another disappointing Mario sports title. Youtube extraordinaire Brogan continues his journey through From Software's catalogue from before they became known for only one thing, Pavlos brings up a tower defence game (probably the very first for the show, period), while our guest is up to all sorts of shenanigans with the King of the Universe. Or so we've heard, we don't like to pry. Our game of the week is the indie darling Fez, initially an XBLA exclusive, it has since made its way onto most platforms, including the eShop this year. A puzzle platformer with a uniquely realised perspective-shifting twist, Fez is a two-faced bag of wonders, one part the thing everyone thought it would be, one part Mastermind, hiding a whole game-behind-the-game that will put your code-breaking abilities to the test. While it kept all of the internet busy in 2012, we not only reminisce but discuss the merits of the game as they still persist today, with favourable results. If life seemed a little flat to you up to this point, this week's show will add a whole new dimension to your exi-- we're just happy to be back, okay?Time Stamps:Whatcha Playing00:00 Our guest Stephen's history with video games09:40 Katamari Damacy Reroll (2018)17:04 Psychonauts 2 (2021)27:30 Mario Golf: Super Rush (2021)49:10 Pokémon Unite (2021)55:30 Kingdom Rush (2014)56:25 Shadow Tower (1998)01:02:12 The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD (2021)01:12:50 Resident Evil 5 (2009)01:20:58 WarioWare: Get It Together!

After a long sabbatical, we are back to tee off with a new edition of the most leisurely gaming podcast around. We tackle everything exciting that happened at the Electronic Three (who are more the Electronic Six or Seven at this point) and hit you with all the talk you never knew you wanted on the off-beat rhythm game Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe and a remaster of what could be considered the former incarnation of the B game (a concept alien to the present landscape), Destroy All Humans. Pavlos also kicks off a new series entirely dedicated to verbally demolishing Resident Evil 6 as he slowly crawls his way through it, regardless of how easy a target it might be. After this sand trap of a game, we move on to greener pastures with our game of the week, Neo Turf Masters, a delightfully dynamic and breezy golf game for the arcades and the Neo Geo. The special click system of the game as well as its idiosyncratic mix of cartoonish and realistic graphical elements, and, most importantly, its invigorating sounds make the game another essential entry in the SNK lineage of care-free and flat-out cool arcade sports delights.Time Stamps:Whatcha Playing00:00 The most belated E3 coverage in the biz40:55 Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe (2014)48:27 Destroy All Humans (2020)53:33 Resident Evil 6ucks (2012) Part 1Featured Game01:06:00 Neo Turf Masters

We got a murder mystery on our hands at the Daydreamcast this week! But first, some familiar topics: We return to one of the earliest subjects of the show, tackling the recent Overwatch 2 announcements. Brogan continues to wade through the King's Field(s).

The maturity of themes and competence of the procedural narrative is striking in this early effort by Chunsoft and Dragon Quest creator Yuji Horii, with the pre-formulated courses of action at your disposal being in equal parts intriguing and amusing due to their idiosyncratic, pre-codified nature. Designed as a game of branching paths, with a clearly defined modern day setting, and omitting the possibility of a Game Over, Portopia Serial Murder Case captured the imagination of many future game developers and has been readily playable in English for a while thanks to fan efforts.

Ep. 26: Portopia Serial Murder Case (1983)

On this very late '00s edition of the Daydreamcast, our friend Murph returns to talk to us about the world of video games. We get a status update on his Assassin's Creed playthrough which, thankfully, is in its twilight years. We revisit the contentious and topical subject of roguelikes/-lites with more Hades talk, and even get some Yu-Gi-Oh discussion in. If that's not enough 2000s energy for you, Brogan adds two period-relevant platformers from opposite ends of the qualitative spectrum to the mix with Little Big Planet and Banjo Kazooie: Nuts &amp; Bolts. You can tell it's a strange episode when Pavlos is the one to report on the new hotness with New Pokémon Snap, a worthy sequel to the original that gets a lot of things right and a couple wrong as the photography conceit is unthawed again, at last, for another spin-off that is much better than whatever is going on in the ailing main series. Our game of the week highlights genre hybrid and species simulator Spore and its troubled history and subsequently skewed trajectory as moderately disappointing but still interesting footnote in video game history. Thankfully, Murph was a Sporehead from day zero so besides our usual rundown of the game's somewhat simplistic but conceptually ambitious mechanics, including its five gameplay stages and the creating tools, we kick back and listen to our buddy tell stories from the days of Spore yore, the pre-release excitement, notes from the cutting room floor, as well as the community hijinx on the Sporum. It all culminates in the ballad of the Hugmonster, a tale of trust, betrayal, and pedophiliac forum mascots like no other. We also reminisce about old internet forums because it really just was that kind of episode.Time Stamps:Whatcha Playing00:00 Assassin's Creed Valhalla (2020)09:30 Hades (2020) and genre brethren17:46 Yu-Gi-Oh!

Ep. 25: Spore (2008)

The prodigal co-host returns, and with him a whole slew of relatively questionable video games! After we're done covering the topics everyone has been talking about – some Crash Bandicoot runner, a sleazy '90s FMV game, and Tekken 6's cooperative campaign –, we turn our attention to less trodden paths. That's right, we break new ground with revolutionary talk on From Software as well as a little game series we have affectionately dubbed Super Mario. Brogan spearheads both as he reports from his research into From's history by exploring their early years with the King's Field series and then proceeds to beat his co-host to the punch on finally breaching the matter of 3D World + Bowser's Fury. Pavlos, meanwhile, got sidetracked by Risk of Rain 2, an exciting sequel to 2013's indie roguelike hit and an all-around multiplayer delight. The game of the week is one near and dear to our heart, warts and all. Knuckles' Chaotix is an experimental co-op focused Sonic spin-off for Sega's Mega Drive add-on, the 32X, and a pretty successful first outing for a relatively inexperienced (not-Sonic Team) team that mostly just fails in one major way: the level design. As we are happy to break down, most other aspects are top notch, particulary the stylish art and animation as well as the evocative soundtrack, or at least fun in an interesting way, like the central conceit of the tether mechanic that lets you zoom around the (sadly, mostly empty) levels in exhilarating fashion. And then there's the mystery of Charmy's surname. A comparison of Chaotix to Knuckles' blue rival's adventure from the year before, Sonic CD, becomes the subject of much debate and, dare we say, elicits a hot take or two along the way. As we table this contended subject for another day, we bid our Chaotix friends farewell and hope that they return one day. Jet Set Radio x Vector, Sega, think about it.Time Stamps:Whatcha Playing0:00 Crash Bandicoot: On The Run (2021)05:40 Tender Loving Care (1998)10:16 Tekken 6 (2007)17:46 King's Field (1994) and King's Field II (1995)27:21 Risk of Rain 2 (2019)36:00 Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury (2021)Featured Game52:01 Knuckles' Chaotix

Ep. 24: Knuckles' Chaotix (1994)

After Brogan's resurrection, Pavlos was put on ice for whenever the world may need him again. This episode consists of Brogan and guest star David Punch picking up the pieces of the podcast. That's right: it's the second bananas on their own podcast! David has been reliving early internet meme culture with a nuzlocke run of Pokémon Platinum. Remember Lost? Wow. Brogan has been playing Ghosts 'N Goblins: Resurrection and the two examine what men are in the shadows of their own failures. Then, there's a Zelda block in which David talks about The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Brogan discusses The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Largely, it's Brogan trying to justify a mediocre difficulty mode that you have to pay money for. It's okay when Nintendo does it. Finally, there's the game of the week: Donkey Kong Country! Back when reboots chose radical over gritty, Donkey Kong Country revolutionized everything and nothing at the same time. There are beautifully dated graphics, inventive but imprecise platforming, and a bunch of monkeys that we love but never really think about. It's all a barrel of fun until you accidentally press the button a second too late and Donkey Kong is sent flying into his doom. Don't fear, dear listeners: the editing and comedic stylings of Bro won't last long. Pavlos is sure to hear this hack job and thaw out of ice just to bring this podcast back to a rightful standard of quality.Time Stamps:0:00 Chaos.Whatcha Playin3:00 Pokémon Platinum (2009) Nuzlocke Run7:30 Ghosts 'N Goblins: Resurrection (2021)12:30 The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (2006)18:00 The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (2017)Featured Game23:45 Donkey Kong Country

Everyone's favourite Alabama man returns for this brand-new episode of the Daydreamcast! We catch up with what Brogan managed to play before nature cut off his power, including the hefty narrative experience Disco Elysium and the disappointingly slight Resident Evil 3 remake. Pavlos postpones Mario talk for another week to discuss his time with the stylish if a little lacking Annapurna visual novel If Found... and divulge his research into the true next-gen console coming later this year, the hilariously misguided Intellivision Amico. If you thrive on yearning for an illusive phantasma you like to hallmark as The Good Old Days, an arcadian place in time when video games "were still fun", and if on top of that you like to pretend that children have an active interest in playing those games with their parents, then the Amico is just the thing for you: an expensive bow to put on that awkwardly wrapped package of self-lies. Luckily, no pretension or backwardness is needed to recognise our game of the week as a fun time, Capcom's fifth Mega Man outing on the Game Boy. As the first on the platform to not recycle bosses from its big brother counterparts on the NES, Mega Man V pits the Super Fighting Robot against an alien menace that is definitely not in cahoots with the previously once-and-for-all defeated Dr. Wily († for realsies). A full-fledged addition to the series, we break down why it's deserving of anyone's time, throwing out fun original robot masters, a shop system, and some banging tunes at a steady pace – you know, like Mega Man do. The game also introduces a robot cat named Tango. You cannot pet it.

We welcome you back to the Brogan Memorial Podcast, the video game podcast made in tribute to former co-host Brogan before they took away his power, presumably to stop him from podcasting specifically.. we're just kidding, we're just kidding! Pavlos finds himself in a Zoom call with Calvin and David, both returning guests and, more importantly, not wearing any clothes while we recorded the episode. Unsurprisingly, David deems it the occasion to come out of the closet, confessing his feelings for emotionless robots and anthropomorphic bats as he airs his carnal lust for Rouge the Bat and Rosalina live on-air. Our collective therapy session continues as we discuss our new addiction, Rocket League, and birds. We love birds here, especially ones that provide a lot of points and good card effects in the digital version of the acclaimed board game Wingspan. Meanwhile, Calvin gushes about some game called Super Mario Galaxy which has zero birds in it. Given the highly irregular circumstances this week, we actually tend to a piece of current events, discussing some highlights from the recent Nintendo Direct. And even more unusual is our game of the week, the household favourite that is Splatoon 2. A handful of nitpicks aside which we hope to see addressed in the recently announced sequel, we explore our deep-running love for this highly creative and innovative third-person painting/shooting hybrid, an ink-redible blend of turf control, flexible loadout strategising, splatting, painting, swimming, DJing, stealth, and just capital F Freshness that permeates the entire post-apocalyptic world of inklings and octolings. Our discussion of the intricate mechanics and style is rounded out by examining its various distinct modes, the community, and the future of Splatting. And now, an assortment of Splatoon film titles: Kid Now, Squid Then (Hong Sang-Soo), Three Colours: Neon Green (Kieślowski), Barton Ink (Coens), Splatfesten (Vinterberg).Timestamps:Whatcha Playing00:00 Rocket League (2015)12:30 Wingspan (2020)21:12 Super Mario Galaxy (2007)30:31 Nintendo DirectFeatured Game58:48 Splatoon 2

The Daydreamcast spin jumps back into the action, and it's all about the devil in the details this week. We touch on throwback games, particularly action side-scrollers, old and new, and decide they are only critisable in the nitty-gritty, in the quality of the tried-and-tested individual components. While Pavlos is too busy recounting his time working for The Man, Brogan serves up fresh-from-the-oven impressions of Cyber Shadow, a new Ninja Gaiden-like published by Yacht Club Games, and pontificates on how it fares against previous efforts in the space, namely The Messenger from two years ago. For our game of the week, we discuss an inconspicuous Strider knock-off, Run Saber, only to put it back into the very bottom shelf it came out of. Indeed, this curious release barely passes the bar of 'fine', choosing to settle instead on 'severely lacking in all areas', and we break down the many ways it falls short. As such, Run Saber can be regarded as a useful critical exercise and one that exemplifies our core thesis of the week: value can be judged from practice, appearances can be deceptive, all are not hunters that blow the horn, fair face may hide a foul heart, and an online thesaurus is a heck of a thing.Timestamps:Whatcha Playing00:00 Splatoon 2 (2017)12:43 Modern throwback games: Cyber Shadow (2021), The Messenger (2018) et al.30:29 Deep Rock Galactic (2020)Featured Game44:22 Run Saber
