If life is anything like a video game, we all know the sidequests are where the really good stuff hides. Join Eric, Dan, and Tom as they throw structure, format, and planning to the wind and talk about absolutely anything related to video games... and even more things that are not. Serious adventurers need not apply, because let's face it... storyline happens to other people.
Eric and Zack managed to peel themselves off the couch long enough to lament over buying and selling houses, reminisce about ancient methods of storage, and absolutely gush over Elden Ring.
The whole crew reunites for the first time in months for our fabled Game of the Year show! Which titles took our top spots this year?
We round out 2021 with a concise little show featuring The Matrix Awakens, Eric's new Series X, Halo Infinite, and Dan's annual descent into playing games that are too long.
Three Moosecopters have just landed to bring you the skinny on Psychonauts 2, Deathloop, unMetal, and RE8 as Edge to Edge Gaming edges (get it??) closer to satisfaction: Ownership of the 2021 Fantasy Critic Crown.
The fabled Russian Keep of the Dates, Bobov August finally arrives with an accurate calendar to get us back on track and talking about failed DIY, Skyward Sword HD, Switch OLED, Marvel's Avengers, and the PS5 NVME Beta.
A full crew descends upon the mics to share their thoughts on Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intermission, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, Chivalry 2 and Dark Alliance while trying to unravel the mystery of how two grown men managed to get stuck to their kitchen floors in the same week.
A rare case of "seriousness" overcomes the crew with the Returnal of General Spendington to discuss accessibility in video games, Resident Evil 8, and our favorite tinfoil hat video game urban legends.
Even eating the largest wheel of cheese has never left us wanting to fart nearly as bad as playing Oddworld: Soulstorm. But how much does a missing fart really affect the rest of the game? As it turns out... a lot.
We discuss both the State of Play and the State of Mike's Lawn, as well as update our fantasy league standings.
Eric and Zack talk about poor financial decisions and proper friendship etiquette while holding each other's feet to the fire in a forced trudge through Dark Souls 2.
The whole Gamestonks adventure attracts our attention as Eric dabbles in the stock market, and everyone unsuccessfully tries to explain how it works to Dan. Meanwhile, the lads start a new venture, competing against each other in a video game draft league for the next year!
It's the very first episode of Sidequests, part of the Factory Sealed Podcast network! Join Eric, Dan, Tom and Mike as they list their top 10 games of 2020, tell you what we're all about, and get started with our exciting new venture!
