Game Game Pass

aka Chorvs aka CHOPVS We really like the Far Cry series! Far Cries? Fars Cry? Doesn't matter! Per our work obligations, we also talk about Chorus. You're an ex-mass murderer who loves whispering and has space magic. Does that make for a good game? Yes, sorta maybe?

aka You can't kill an old ghost with a new sword. In this episode we explore the dystopian (sorta?) future of Singapore in the year 2037. We learn cyberpunk video games are cursed and that president of Xbox Phil Specter needs to work on his boundaries. sexy.wav by maurolupo | License: Attribution Noncommercial 3.0

aka Super everything is made up. A family that slays monsters together, stays monsters together. Or something. The Bergsons - Linda, John, Kevin, Mark, Lucy, Joey, Ben, Mary, Margaret, and honorary Bergson Apan - are the world's only hope to stop the Corruption. Hear our thoughts on this delightful rogue-ish indie pixel art game. Well, I just said "delightful" so I guess you get one thought for free. JUST ONE! Listen to hear the rest (also free)

aka Skeletorrent Our "Oops All Elden Ring" season continues. Ryan has a Crystal Sword that allows him to cosplay as Skeletor, Doug respecs for magic, and we both dream of a bright future where some new Elden Ring DLC adds a fishing mechanic. Oh, and somewhere near the end we talk about this week's game The Catch: Carp & Coarse.

aka my wayward son According to guidelines published by the Video Game Podcasters Guild, we are legally and morally obligated to talk about Elden Ring this episode. But since we don't want to get called into the office by Phil Specter's specter, we also squeeze in some time for the very excellent indie reverse-horror game Carrion.

aka Season B, Part 2 We finally make it out of the Bs by playing one last B game featuring a bee.

aka Deep in the bees We're back, bb! With a Double Fine double episode! Two games for the price of one! And that price is FREE!

aka The 37% Life Hack In this episode we send forklifts through tears in reality, dissolve hapless Bendies in pools of acid, and build rickety bridges all in an effort to get that next promotion!

aka Cow comedy red flags In space, no one can hear you scream in frustration at poorly implemented crafting mechanics and bad controller schemes.

aka Grabbled by a tall boy u up? lol j/k. but for real if u wanna hit the dunj later, hmu. oh baby, i miss the way you wield me

aka Art is a scam Inside of you are two wolves. One is the Black Wolf, dark and mysterious. The other is you, a vengeful murder wolf. Except you're not a wolf. Your friends are a boar, a bison, and a crow. Except they are also humans? It's hard to say. But there's lots of killing and dying.

aka Learn about waffles. If the little mysterious dark spirit that only you can see is telling you to check out this episode, you should do it! On the other hand, if it's telling you to play Black Desert... maybe listen to this episode first.

aka Know when to behold them, know when to befold them. Spying! Blackmail! Sedition! Getting stabbed for destroying library books! All in a day's work for Carl Stein, the apartment manager living in a totalitarian dictatorship.

aka All those different licks Battletoads is the rare game (no pun intended) with maximum tongue action and minimum horniness.

aka Butter Punch Snackcast Join us as we delve into the world of obscure DC superhero Snackman and his arch nemesis The Dipper!

aka Stranger in the Alps Pull up a barrel, grab a bottle of Trow Squeezin's, and get ready to hear a tale. The Bard's tale! His fifth but legally only his fourth. Are you ready for the Official Fourth?? (Shhhhh.. don't tell anyone but you've already heard the fourth that doesn't count.) SPOILER ALERT: We never discuss barrows nor their depths.

aka The Baldur's Tale of Bard's Gate ARPG Remastered and Resnarkled Set your gameback machines to the early 2000s! In this episode we help a washed up grunge musician (played by The Dread Pirate Roberts) with a magic lute get laid and get paid - all while sticking it to Big Fantasy (played by Tony Jay)!

aka Pirate Dream Cat Stories The Game Pass team's Operation Counter-Counterpunch is in full swing! All hands are on deck - specifically the decks of Sloops, Brigantines, and Galleons as we set sail on the Sea of Thieves! And console game service wars aside, we still have a job to do! And this week that job brings us Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts.

Ladies and gentlemen, sad news. One of our most beloved entertainers, and close personal friend of mine, is dead. Bottles the Mole died today from - from uh - he died a broken man.

aka The Last Burgerfighter If you walk around shirtless wearing a shark tooth necklace, I don't care how many sisters you rescue from evil witches - you're a bad person (or bear).

The only thing better than doing Jingle Jangle with Jughead is having lunch with Nick Sahoyah and talking about our favorite Remedy video games.

aka Titanium Potato Radio This episode we play Astroneer. It's like a Gilligan's Island survival/dating game except no dating and no other people besides you and also it's set in space not island.

aka Vroom Vroom Honk Honk If you enjoy adjusting tire pressure, camber, and perfecting your heel & toe technique, then Assetto Corsa might be the game for you!

aka RPG Cringe Save the world from evil! Avenge your parents death! Sexual tension between - *checks notes* - siblings? Oh, ummmmm. Wow. Ok.

aka We meet the monster and the monster is Doug You still don't understand what you're dealing with, do you? Perfect podcast. Its audio perfection is matched only by its host ability.

aka Intervention In Hell In Hell, adventure games have no puzzles. It's just walking and talking. Walking and talking. So much walking and talking you'll probably need a few drinks to get through it.

aka Missile! Missile! Missile! In this episode we fly the not so friendly and often extremely hostile skies of the 13th entry in the Ace Combat franchise, Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown. Missiles are dodged! Planes are crashed into! And yet the elusive skies of Strangereal remains ever unknown!

aka Fashion Fight Club This episode we beat up random people looking for sweet fashion drops in our quest to become the stylish-est looking karate-ers in the world! SHOW NOTES Author probably googles "clothes dye recipe" as research and winds up putting in Zelda stuff into his novel: https://www.theverge.com/tldr/2020/8/3/21352299/zelda-breath-of-the-wild-red-clothes-dye-traveler-gates-of-wisdom-john-boyne-google-search-results

We're being forced to play all the games in the Xbox Game Pass catalog in alphabetical order so why not podcast about it as well?
