In today's episode of the show, Boom takes an unexpected yet practical dive into the world of toilets, guiding listeners through the essentials of what to consider when purchasing a new throne for your home. It's a departure from the usual gaming and tech-focused discussions, but as any homeowner knows, sometimes life's necessities call for a spotlight. However, the conversation doesn't stop at bathroom fixtures. Boom fills the airtime with candid reflections on his current tech woes, sharing the frustrations and setbacks of dealing with computer troubles. It's a relatable detour into the daily grind of digital life, where technology is both a lifeline and a source of endless headaches. Amidst these real-world concerns, Boom returns to the familiar refuge of gaming, particularly his time spent in "Path of Exile." It's a moment of introspection on the nature of gaming habits—how, despite an ever-growing library of new releases, there's a comfort in returning to the well-worn paths of favorite games. This loop of anticipation for the new, only to retreat to the old, sparks a light-hearted debate on the nature of gaming nostalgia and the allure of revisiting familiar digital landscapes. The episode wraps up as an eclectic mix of topics, from the pragmatics of picking the right toilet to the existential musings of a gamer navigating the cyclical nature of entertainment choices. It's a reminder that sometimes, there isn't a grand theme or groundbreaking revelation in every conversation. Instead, it's the small, seemingly mundane discussions—yes, even about toilets—that add a touch of the real and the relatable to our daily lives. Boom's laid-back approach, blending practical advice with personal anecdotes and gaming reflections, makes for a uniquely engaging listen. It's not just about the content; it's about finding connection and camaraderie in the shared experiences of life's frustrations, whether they stem from a stubborn computer or the search for the perfect game to play. So, if you're looking for a mix of humor, advice, and gaming nostalgia—with a side of toilet talk—then you've come to the right place. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/boomtap/message

We also explored the anticipated "Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance," building on the legacy of its predecessors with its post-apocalyptic setting, demon recruitment, and fusion systems. This installment promises a continuation of the series' deep narrative and challenging gameplay, set against the backdrop of a desolate world filled with mythological intrigue. The podcast also touched upon potential classics with the "STAR WARS: Battlefront Classic Collection," speculated to bundle the revered original titles known for their expansive battles in the Star Wars universe, offering a nostalgic trip down memory lane for fans of the franchise. Among other titles discussed were "SWORD ART ONLINE Fractured Daydream," "GUNDAM BREAKER 4," "Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble," and "World of Goo 2," each promising to bring fresh experiences to their respective franchises. From the virtual reality MMORPG worlds of SWORD ART ONLINE to the custom-built battles of GUNDAM BREAKER and the physics-based puzzles of World of Goo, these games showcase the innovation and diversity of current gaming trends. Lastly, we covered "Pentiment" by Obsidian Entertainment, a narrative-driven adventure set in 16th century Europe, praised for its unique art style and storytelling depth, and touched upon the benefits of the Nintendo Switch Online services, offering access to a treasure trove of classic games and online play. This episode was a celebration of gaming's past, present, and future, highlighting the creativity, innovation, and diversity that define the industry. From survival and role-playing to action and puzzle-solving, the discussed titles offer something for every gamer, promising hours of entertainment and engagement. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/boomtap/message

The precision, strategy, and raw adrenaline these games offer have captivated me, leading to countless hours spent mastering combos in Tekken and executing fatalities in Mortal Kombat. This newfound passion isn't just confined to my living room; it's taking me on an adventure to the EVO conference, the ultimate gathering for fighting game enthusiasts. There, the community, competition, and camaraderie promise to be a highlight of my gaming year. Amidst these personal gaming milestones, one title has risen above the rest to claim the title of "the very best game in the world right now" in my eyes: Warframe. This game has captivated my imagination and gaming time, offering an unparalleled experience that combines rich storytelling, dynamic gameplay, and a supportive community.
