Boss Dungeon Podcasts

Ubisoft is up to no good again! Who are here to stop them? Noone, but Andrea, Adam, Emma, Sam and Tommy will surely complain about it. We also talk about Sonic Adventure and Alan Wake because we're super up to date. Also something Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Back from the dead, Andrea, Adam and Tommy hop back into podcast gear. Talking about the good old days when Activision was the easy to target super villain in videogames and game could release without being an unfinished mess.

After a post-E3 break, Andrea and Emma disagree on A Link Between Worlds being the best thing since sliced bread in this Zelda filled episode (which was recorded before the new Sequilitis video came out, we swear) and then briefly talk about Summer Games Done Quick.

Andrea, Adam, Tomasz, Emma, Sam and Conrad all return to the podcast for one final episode, talking about E3 as a whole and expanding previous thoughts.

Andrea, Adam, Tomasz, Emma and new to BD podcasts Sam Morris talk about Sony and... Things get weird quickly. Seriously Adam... Thanks for AAA content this week. ♥

Andrea, Adam and Emma talk about Nintendo and gush about Squids, Zelda, Kirby and Yoshi.

Andrea, Adam, Tommy and Conrad Zimmerman of Sup, Holmes?/Dismal Jesters fame gang up to discuss Microsoft's offerings at E3 2014. And a little bit of EA.

New Super Final Battle jumps into Pre-E3 mode and... forgets to talk about E3 for half the podcast. But then we get to it and predict a bunch of stuff that probably won't happen!

It's countdown to E3 at Boss Dungeon and as such we take a look at some pre-E3 announcements and leaks. Battlefield Hardline and Mortal Kombat X takes the spotlight, in the sense that we use those games as excuses to complain about other stuff vaguely related.

Yo it's fighting friend, The Final Battle. We've been away for a while. But now we're back to kick some butt in Wild Canyon! That's right, your favourite podcast hosted by Scandinavian lunatics is back. But with some changes. Just like Boss Dungeon has opened up for all sorts of content, so has TFB. In the form of New Super Final Battle, the podcast now takes on any kind of thing the hosts feel like talking about. Videogames, Anime, Movies or singing in German. It's all here. Enjoy friends. ... Told you that in time, a successor would come.

Pilot for our new videogame news podcast. Andrea, Adam and Emma talk about Nintendo's response to the #Miiquality movement, Microsoft backpedaling further on Xbox One and ridicule a hopelessly fake E3 "leak".

50 Episodes. It's time for a break. Farewell friends. GOLDMAN!!!

This episode is all about GDC and DAYTONAAAAA! So Let's Go Away and Fly Sky High as we're off to a Rolling Start in Episode 49! I'm Sorry.

... I don't remember what we talked about this week because it was five days since we recorded it. Oops.

Almost nine days late, here's a new The Final Battle episode! The crew talks about Tales of Symphonia: Chronicles and how Dementium II HD can lead to total videogame apathy. But it's also the VIDEOGAME ARCHITECTURE SPECIAL! Hear about the hosts favourite videogame worlds and surroundings.

In a truly lengthy episode, our three hosts talk about GaymerX2, Irrational Games closing, DOOM getting a beta and other news that interest us. Emma talks about her visit to Stockholm's Technical Museum where they had a History of Videogames presentation, Tobiichi gets a really good long rant on LIGHTNING RETURNS: FINAL FANTASY XIII's story and then Tommy accidentally invented the next Quake game.

In this episode of Discussing Old Stuff, Tommy and Tobiichi talk about good old games like Interstate '76, Cannon Fodder and Pinball Dreams... Oh wait, it's not DOS, it's The Final Battle. Well, that's what we did anyway, because Emma wasn't here to stop us from being old. We also talked about Nintendo, Deep Down, NIS America and Harmonix doing a first person shooter.

This week we talk a lot about interactive storytelling, free-to-play disasters, flappy bird and... Bears? That's right, this is the bear special of The Final Battle somehow. Enjoy.

The Final Battle returns with a whole lot of news to talk about. We talk about Nintendo's plans for the future, Monster Hunter games going west and other Yoshinoro Ono things. We talk about the FarCry series for a good bit during out Ubisoft and Watch_Dogs segment. And... Wait, Atlus is publishing something in Europe? Doom is near.

This week our lovely hosts talk about what is and isn't censorship, try to think of ways to make the Wii U sell better, what Nintendo could possibly do on smartphones if they chose to and a whole lot of gushing about Broken Age, Yasumi Matsuno games and the possibility of a new Dragon Quest localization.

Loadingu, loadingu, nagai no iyada. Loadingu, loadingu, mijijai kibou, tore! This week on The Final Battle, the cast talks about Alien: Isolation and how much better Golden Sun is than everything else existing in the world. We also create new careers for hollywood's finest actors in multiple games and movies.

After the mysterious circumstances that caused the original episode 40 to go missing, here's The Final Battle's Game of the Year episode. Hosted this week by Tobiichi Karlsson, Tomasz Chodakowski, Kyle Campbell and Zack Furniss! We talk about walking simulators and Mark Cerny as a Pizza. We've gone too far.

On this episode of The Final Battle, Tomasz Chodakowski is drunk and sick, Emma Karlholm and Tobiichi Karlsson have both played and reviewed games that they talk about and then the hosts announce how they'll be celebrating the 20th anniversary of Doom. Hint: It's a let's play of the shareware version from 1993 in co-op. I guess that gave it away entirely, I don't care. Other games that are brought up are Rayman Legends, FINAL FANTASY XIV and Killzone Shadow Fall among others.

It's a very special episode of The Final Battle in which the hosts tackle Spike's VGX awards... while watching them! Unlike normal episodes of The Final Battle, Battle X is meant to be listened to as a commentary track to the actual show. That's not to say you can't listen to it as a regular podcast, but be aware that there's no editing done and there will be moments of silence as a result. For the best experience, watch the VGX video along with the Podcast on top of it, both supplied on Boss Dungeon's website. And of course... Binge Responsibly.

This week on The Final Battle, the trio completely tears apart one of Tobiichi's most nostalgic games from her childhood, they talk Sega Dreamcast and Sega Saturn for a bit. Mark Cerny, the patron saint of this podcast, becomes to the topic of discussion once more as the trio starts talking about Shenmue at GDC 2014 and it's all a very unstructured mess that pretends to be a professional podcast once again.

This week we talk about Metro: Last Light, Phantasy Star and the Sega Saturn. We also get on the topic of Xbox One for a little bit and talk about the big Persona event that happened this weekend.

It's a whole new generation! Of course, neither of the hosts have a PS4, Wii U or a Xbox One so they're back to talking about the stuff they talk about every single week. Tommy has finished up Tomb Raider and the trio goes through the news that happened at the PS4 All Access event as well as the nominees for Spike's VGX.

This episode of Firesides sees hosts Gregory Edwards and DJ Hansen getting nostalgic with Boss Dungeon writer Michael Carey and friend of the show Raz Hampton. They reminisce over the seventh generation of home consoles, now snuggling up in its death bed, waiting for the reaper. The group recounts their highs and lows of the generation, both with games and trends, and find out that, while companies may have taken consumers for a wild ride, they had fun with it.

Back for the first time since the very pilot episode of this podcast, it's Jonathan Holmes from Destructoid.com! We talk about donuts, Wii U, Gamecube and a bunch of things that distract us from out actual topic. The Wii's place in this generation of videogames. It's a short episode, a addendum to the earlier episode this week if you will, but we hope you like it any way!

Our major farewell to the seventh generation of videogame consoles kick off with a retrospective of the very best titles available on X-Box 360 and PlayStation 3. Joining us once again are Emma Karlholm as well as Kyle Campbell from Rely on Horror. Don't forget to check back again this very Wednesday for the second part where we look at Wii and the generation as a whole.

While certainly younger than some other studios we focus on, the variety of games that Monolith Productions have put out over the 19 years they've been around is worthy of mention. This week on Discussing Old Stuff, we talk about Blood, Captain Claw, F.E.A.R., TRON 2.0, Condemened, No One Lives Forever and more. Enjoy!

Back from GAMEX, Tobiichi brings with her Emma Karlholm to help talk about all the things they saw at the expo. Tobiichi and Tommy have a long talk about Tomb Raider and it all ends up another long episode of The Final Battle.

In the third episode of The BD Firesides, Greg and DJ are once again joined by Michael Carey to discuss the Final Fantasy franchise. Memories are stirred up and everyone gets in the mood to replay at least one game in the franchise as it gets both lavished with praise and harshly lambasted.

Guesting with us this week is Kyle Campbell from Rely On Horror who was one of the hosts at this weekend's Scarity Event. We talk a bunch about the event, Resident Evil in general, Shmup games, Id Software, Aliens: Isolation and just a whole bunch of other stuff. It's a long episode, but it's good.

This week on The Final Battle our lovely hosts talk about old games on Steam, the incident with TotalBisquit and Day One: Garry's Incident, games we played longer than other games and a whole lot of Grand Theft Auto V and Quake talk. Zack Furniss gets on in the end to talk a little as well, and then we read out MetaCritic user reviews out loud for our own amusement.

Our hosts are joined by fellow Boss Dungeon writer Michael Carey for discussion about the Tales JRPG franchise. They discuss every game they've played in the series, as well as some of the additional media such as the Tales of Vesperia prequel movie. (Spoilers: Tales of Vesperia is beloved)

Greg went to a event and played the PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One and gives his impression on games such as Watch_Dogs, Dead Rising 3, RYSE: Son of Rome, Knack and others. We speak about how Grand Theft Auto V suggests that the earlier of the two weekend days happen to just be splendid for fisticuffs and there ends up being a surprisingly detailed yet spoiler-free talk about Disgaea D2. While Tommy gets to speak a good bit about Amiga and Tobiichi gets to gush about Shadow Warrior, the group agrees that they all really just want to party all the time. Party all the time. Party all the time. ... ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?

Welcome to a brand new podcast on bossdungeon.com, D.O.S. (Discussing Old Stuff) is a podcast hosted by Tobiichi Karlsson and Tommy Walkerocious that focuses on computer gaming from the 80's and 90's. This first episode focuses on one of the most influential companies of computer gaming in 90's for both action games and platformers, Id Software. We talk about how the company was founded and tell our own stories how we were introduced to the company and their various games. We also go through every release they made one by one and talk about the game, what it accomplished and what it failed with. From Dangerous Dave to Rage, the Apple II to iPad and from three Softdisk developers to one of the biggest names in computer gaming.

In the first episode of a new podcast for Boss Dungeon, hosts Gregory Edwards and DJ Hansen are joined by guests and fellow writers Julian Rittmayer and Tobiichi Karlsson for a discussion on the entire Resident Evil franchise. The main series, spinoffs, films and all other media across the franchise is discussed in detail and the hosts relay their personal feelings on Resident Evil as a whole.

Valley girl, he's a valley girl~ This week on The Final Battle we talk about Steam Machines and a whole lot about Valve together with Boss Dungeon writer Zack Furniss! We end up realizing John Carmack's true nature and show how scared yet interested we are regarding the Steam Controller. Our host talk a bit about opposing views on Grand Theft Auto V's protagonists and it's all a good time.

The Final Battle returns for a TGS episode where most of our time is spent talking about Grand Theft Auto V. A violent scenario based around the vicious Cerny-Pope is painted up by the hosts as they discuss Sega-Sammy buying out Index, and we talk a bit about how the Free-2-Play market and the mobile market actually are pretty cool places now and then. Good Times.

On this Special PlayStation Episode of The Final Battle the hosts talk about the brand new details revealed about some PS4 games, the Japanese PS4 launch, the redesigned PSVita and... The PSVita TV. Tommy updates us on his adventure with The Last of Us and we discover a surprising fact about the Japanese localization of Octodad. Check it out now!

This week on The Final Battle we talk about restaurants, nationalities and gender situations and introduce a brand new review system. At some point we remember that we're a videogame podcast and start talking about that too, included talk about the reviews for Tales of Xillia, FINAL FANTASY XIV and The Chaos Engine. Some cheap-shots are taken at Nintendo because it's funny to pretend they're a bad company, the 2DS is discussed quite a bit as well. A heated debate regarding who should be allowed to use Kickstarter as funding erupts among the hosts and then we answer questions about smells, booties and smiles. Because why not? Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger, can I take your order? out of The Total Score of the Game.

Oh Mark Cerny, you are to videogame console manufacturers what Brian Cox is to science. Your adorable face and the manner of which you speak just mesmerizes me. Also, I'm not on this episode and I wasn't given a episode summary, so this is all I have to say. Enjoy!

The Final Battle is back! Once again our weekly hosts are gathered for a podcast where we discuss the latest news of the industry. Do we buy into the supposed Arcane Studios Prey 2 leak? Just how many more hours worth of content will we get out of Microsoft's plans for the Xbox One? These questions and many more are answered on the first Final Battle episode in almost an entire month, here we go!

Dolphin? Dolphins! This week on the official Boss Dolphin podcast we talk about Dolphin Premonition being on Steam Greenlight and overall how Steam Greenlight can improve into something better. A bunch of Musou-game talk along with discussion as to who should buy Atlus now that Index Holdings is selling them of. Should it be Nintendo? Namco? Koch? Elton John? Dolphin Lundgren? Who knows. We also rant against the idea that Ubisoft will not make any game that won't start a franchise, as it's just absurd. Also, Dolphin: http://t.co/2SULVuRhRX

FAMICOM SPECIAL CELEBRATION TIME! Today we reveal that Marshal Henderson hates E-Sports, the NES and... Kevin Spacey? We talk about our favourite NES/Famicom games and discuss the various ones that YOU submitted to us for discussion. 30 years with the Famicom, all here on The Final Battle!

This is episode is late... I have no reason for it to be this late, it just is. Sorry. This episode was fairly uneventful apart from some talking about Danganronpa, Double Fine and discussing videogame bosses for about thirty minutes.

Greg is back but Marshall and Trevor goes missing. The team talks about T.R.A.G.: Mission of Mercy, more Final Fantasy XIV, Don Mattrick becoming the CEO of Zynga and more news of the week. We also talk about our favourite videogame intros.

More Final Fantasy XIV talk as the second Phase Three beta weekend has ended. The podcast hosts spend a good while talking about Microsoft backtracking on their DRM strategies and we also talk about the three things in the news about Naughty Dog as of lately.

The Final Battle IS BACK! We list of our predictions for what will happen next generation both on the side of game development as well as sales of the three big consoles in true Michael Pachter spirit. We talk way too much about Animal Crossing and Final Fantasy XIV, because those games deserve to be talked about. And Trevor tells his thoughts on E3.
