Welcome back, party people! It's episode 36 and we're at least part of the way to transforming into our perfect form (only like...at least 36 more episodes of screaming to go)! This week we're chatting endowment sliders, Anthem's sad development story, and Epic's slow takeover of PC gaming - but that story is exclusive to the Epic store so it's gonna cost you extra.

This week, we're chatting about some pretty big news in the world of gaming - Google Stadia (and Apple's seemingly tacked-on response to it, Apple Arcade). There's plenty of fun as always, and we've got some info on a couple of fresh new titles - Sekiro and Division 2.  Games mentioned: Sekiro Division 2 Dragon Quest 11 Stardew Valley (mobile) Owlboy Anthem Gris Spiderman Where to find us in all the places! iTunes: https://goo.gl/Mf6SQo Google Play: https://goo.gl/1EgVCM Stitcher: https://goo.gl/DczYge We’re on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/hardcorecasualspodcast/ Twitter! https://twitter.com/CasualsHardcore Twitch! https://www.twitch.tv/hardcorecasualspodcast And YouTube! https://goo.gl/mjs2BA

This week on Hardcore Casuals, we're hanging out with special guest Erik Tait -  magician, comedian, and host of the Quiz Box podcast (seriously, go check that out). We're chatting about what everyone is playing, Illuminati conspiracies involving Zelda 2 (which doesn't suck no matter what Dan says).

We're back! It's the first episode of 2019 and we know you're as excited about it as we are. The gang is going over what they've been playing since the holidays, the big Magifest meetup and Jen's bravest moment of autograph acquisition ever, and chatting about their thoughts on the Anthem demo (can anyone say hype train?).  Games Mentioned: Anthem demo Horizon Zero Dawn (plus the Frozen Wilds) Guacamelee 2 Sundered Super Smash Brothers Ultimate Forgotton Anne Red Dead Redemption 2 Where to find us in all the places! iTunes: https://goo.gl/Mf6SQo Google Play: https://goo.gl/1EgVCM Stitcher: https://goo.gl/DczYge We’re on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/hardcorecasualspodcast/ Twitter! https://twitter.com/CasualsHardcore Twitch! https://www.twitch.tv/hardcorecasualspodcast And YouTube! https://goo.gl/mjs2BA

This week, we've done the stream method of podcasting once again, with Jen playing Hollow Knight throughout the episode. Check our Twitch link below or Youtube if you want to see the epic awesomeness involved! We're talking a smattering of different games for our Now Playing, and giving our thoughts on the disaster that is Fallout 76.  Oh, and Jen is fired. Again. Dammit, Jen!

This episode, the gang is trying something a little different, recording the cast over a livestream of Red Dead Redemption 2 (as played by Jen, so she would suggest lowering your expectations a bit). You can find that here if you want to watch! But there's plenty of good to be had listening too, as the gang chat Red Dead, Blizzcon announcement disasters, and have the usual shenanigans. Games mentioned: Deltarune Red Dead Redemption 2 Octodad: Dadliest Catch Where to find us in all the places! iTunes: https://goo.gl/Mf6SQo Google Play: https://goo.gl/1EgVCM Stitcher: https://goo.gl/DczYge We’re on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/hardcorecasualspodcast/ Twitter! https://twitter.com/CasualsHardcore And YouTube! https://goo.gl/mjs2BA  

This week marks a momentous occasion, as we officially mark the week when the whole crew has gotten back into the game that started it all - Destiny (2 now, but let's not split hairs). We're also tallking about the Telltale fiasco, and deciding what PSN names we would give each other once Sony allows PSN name changes.  Games mentioned: Destiny 2: Forsaken Minit Red Dead Redemption Hollow Knight Where to find us in all the places! iTunes: https://goo.gl/Mf6SQo Google Play: https://goo.gl/1EgVCM Stitcher: https://goo.gl/DczYge We’re on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/hardcorecasualspodcast/ Twitter! https://twitter.com/CasualsHardcore And YouTube! https://goo.gl/mjs2BA  

This week, we're delving into one of the current hot topics in the gaming world - lootboxes (cue dramatic music) and microtransactions. We're also chatting about the drama surrounding Nintendo's online service, and giving a quick mention to the newly announced Playstation classic. And there's a small debate about Zelda Breath of the Wild, because apparently Jen hates fun. Games mentioned: Zelda: Breath of the Wild Destiny 2 Fortnite WoW Divinity 2 Octopath Traveler Where to find us in all the places! iTunes: https://goo.gl/Mf6SQo Google Play: https://goo.gl/1EgVCM Stitcher: https://goo.gl/DczYge We’re on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/hardcorecasualspodcast/ Twitter! https://twitter.com/CasualsHardcore And YouTube! https://goo.gl/mjs2BA

In the 27th episode of shenanigans, it's now playing all the way as the group talks a bit about World of Warcraft, Fortnite, and...wait...there must be a mistake, they're dabbling back in Destiny 2?? Dan's obtained a Switch, but otherwise it's business as usual except for that whole Destiny thing. (Shhh, don't be alarmed, but it actually seems like it might be promising this time...) Games mentioned: Destiny 2 World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth Fortnite Octopath Traveler Where to find us in all the places! iTunes: https://goo.gl/Mf6SQo Google Play: https://goo.gl/1EgVCM Stitcher: https://goo.gl/DczYge We’re on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/hardcorecasualspodcast/ Twitter! https://twitter.com/CasualsHardcore And YouTube! https://goo.gl/mjs2BA  

THIS IS WARCRAFT!!! No really, we talk a lot about World of Warcraft. From lore to closing thoughts on the Legion expansion and the MASSIVE HYPE TRAIN for Battle for Azeroth, we've got a lot to say. And since Josh is indisposed this week, we've got special guest Matt a/k/a Papawoot sitting in (this is the only way we were able to get away with a whole WoW episode. Sorry-not-sorry).  Games mentioned (LOL): World of Warcraft Hollow Knight Very briefly, Overwatch Where to find us in all the places! iTunes: https://goo.gl/Mf6SQo Google Play: https://goo.gl/1EgVCM Stitcher: https://goo.gl/DczYge We’re on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/hardcorecasualspodcast/ Twitter! https://twitter.com/CasualsHardcore And YouTube! https://goo.gl/mjs2BA  

There's nothing quite like starting to write show notes and getting completely distracted looking up potential Overwatch themed cross stitch patterns. But that's completely unrelated to the show this week, which mostly ended up being our current games, with a healthy dose of tormenting Jam (you'll just have to listen). It's the usual hijinks with some Fortnite season 5 chatter, and a game you never expected to hear us discuss - World of Warcraft?????? Who even are we anymore? Games mentioned: World of Warcraft Fortnite Octopath Traveler Overwatch Destiny 2 (wait, what?) Where to find us in all the places! iTunes: https://goo.gl/Mf6SQo Google Play: https://goo.gl/1EgVCM Stitcher: https://goo.gl/DczYge We’re on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/hardcorecasualspodcast/ Twitter! https://twitter.com/CasualsHardcore And YouTube! https://goo.gl/mjs2BA    

Well, it's that time again, when game developers trot out their best announcements and trailers to get all of our gamer panties in a twist. Or, more accurately...they make us all throw our backs out from cringing so hard. Either way, the gang is here to run down their favorite announcements and cringe moments from E3 2018!  Games mentioned: Overwatch Octopath Traveler (demo version) Rocket League Fortnite Where to find us in all the places! iTunes: https://goo.gl/Mf6SQo Google Play: https://goo.gl/1EgVCM Stitcher: https://goo.gl/DczYge We’re on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/hardcorecasualspodcast/ Twitter! https://twitter.com/CasualsHardcore And YouTube! https://goo.gl/mjs2BA  

This week we ask ourselves the ever present question, would these people even know a rail if it bit them on the butt? And the answer as usual, is no. But we're talking a lot of interesting stuff this week, with a healthy dose of now playing and a mini rant about the Battlefield V Controversy of 2018, and some Destiny 2 hype drain! Did I say drain? I meant train. Hype train. Obviously. Choo choo mother#&%*ers. Games mentioned: Detroit: Become Human Overwatch Monster Hunter World Moonlighter Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Samurai Shodown 6 Super Metroid the usual suspects (Rocket League, Fortnite, Stardew, whatever) Reluctantly Destiny 2 Darwin Project PUBG Where to find us in all the places! iTunes: https://goo.gl/Mf6SQo Google Play: https://goo.gl/1EgVCM Stitcher: https://goo.gl/DczYge We’re on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/hardcorecasualspodcast/ Twitter! https://twitter.com/CasualsHardcore And YouTube! https://goo.gl/mjs2BA

Ben's soundboard makes its triumphant, if oddly spelled, return in this episode as we run down our usual Now Playing offerings, with the usual amount of derailment. We pay a visit to the recent Monster Hunter Generations Jenultimate announcement for the Switch, but it definitely isn't a Dark Souls clone so please, stop saying that already! Games mentioned: Battlefield 1 Battlefield 4 Valkyria Chronicles Stardew Valley Ni No Kuni 2 Swords of Ditto Helldivers Nioh Monster Hunter Generations Rocket League ...we should really just add a "usual suspects" listing for some of these   Where to find us in all the places! iTunes: https://goo.gl/Mf6SQo Google Play: https://goo.gl/1EgVCM Stitcher: https://goo.gl/DczYge We’re on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/hardcorecasualspodcast/ Twitter! https://twitter.com/CasualsHardcore And YouTube! https://goo.gl/mjs2BA

This week, the gang is all here to talk their favorite parts of God of War, now that three out of four hardcore cazzies have finished the story (and Josh will get there, we're sure of it). There's hype for Red Dead and Jen has her usual way too long list of now playing games, which always has its share of entertainment.  Games mentioned: God of War Swords of Ditto Stardew Valley Starbound Kirby Star Allies Battlefield 1 Monster Hunter World Rocket League Nioh Where to find us in all the places! iTunes: https://goo.gl/Mf6SQo Google Play: https://goo.gl/1EgVCM Stitcher: https://goo.gl/DczYge We’re on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/hardcorecasualspodcast/ Twitter! https://twitter.com/CasualsHardcore And YouTube! https://goo.gl/mjs2BA  

Jen, Ben, Dan, and Josh are giving their state of gaming address (aka what's wrong with AAA titles right now) along with the usual antics and derailments. These notes would be longer, but honestly, there's God of War to play and that story isn't going to finish itself. Games mentioned: God of War Detective Pikachu Ni No Kuni 2 Battlefield 1 Radiant Historia Bloodborne Monster Hunter World Where to find us in all the places! iTunes: https://goo.gl/Mf6SQo Google Play: https://goo.gl/1EgVCM Stitcher: https://goo.gl/DczYge We’re on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/hardcorecasualspodcast/ Twitter! https://twitter.com/CasualsHardcore And YouTube! https://goo.gl/mjs2BA

Jen is going on record to say she is suspicious of this week's show title. Dan SAYS it's related to her reaction to A Way Out, but she's pretty sure it's got more to do with her opinion on a certain game brought up in another show topic this week. (This is definitely a conspiracy.) Either way, the usual crew is up to the usual shenanigans, chatting A Way Out and games we hate, and you should definitely listen and be entertained! Games mentioned: A Way Out Rocket League NieR: Automata de Blob Monster Hunter World Far Cry 5 Battlefield 1 Where to find us in all the places! iTunes: https://goo.gl/Mf6SQo Google Play: https://goo.gl/1EgVCM Stitcher: https://goo.gl/DczYge We’re on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/hardcorecasualspodcast/ Twitter! https://twitter.com/CasualsHardcore And YouTube! https://goo.gl/mjs2BA  

Jen, Ben, Dan, and Josh are talking "strategematical turn based gamey things" (or, strategic turn based games in normal-people-speak) when they aren't busy getting distracted by random conversation topics. Don't worry, they eventually get to the point! Games mentioned: PubG Mobile Pokemon Go Mario Run Nier: Autopilot Hoppenhelm Rocket League Where to find us in all the places! iTunes: https://goo.gl/Mf6SQo Google Play: https://goo.gl/1EgVCM Stitcher: https://goo.gl/DczYge We’re on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/hardcorecasualspodcast/ Twitter! https://twitter.com/CasualsHardcore And YouTube! https://goo.gl/mjs2BA

The crew is back again, in spite of illnesses and knees to the face. Dan is riding the merry-go-round of sickness, Ben has a concussion (not really, but maybe), Jen is awkward, and Josh...is Josh. They're running down some of the PSN+ freebies they've played this month and talking about the sleeper hit everyone suddenly noticed - NieR autotomato. Come on down and give it a listen! Games we talked about: Secret of Mana HD remaster NieR Automata Fortnite Ratchet & Clank Okami Where to find us in all the places! iTunes: https://goo.gl/Mf6SQo Google Play: https://goo.gl/1EgVCM Stitcher: https://goo.gl/DczYge We’re on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/hardcorecasualspodcast/ Twitter! https://twitter.com/CasualsHardcore And YouTube! https://goo.gl/mjs2BA  

Hello listeners! It's been a while but we're back! These notes are gonna be brief because, let's face it, Jen has monsters to hunt. You'll have to pop in and listen to Dan, Ben, Josh, and Jen talk Monster Hunter World - the good, the bad, and the ugly, in all its hunter munter glory. Games mentioned: Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice Enter the Gungeon Crypt of the Necrodancer Gran Turismo Rocket League Monster Hunter: World Divinity: Original Sin 2 Dark Souls 3 Assassin's Creed Origins Hue Where to find us in all the places! iTunes: https://goo.gl/Mf6SQo Google Play: https://goo.gl/1EgVCM Stitcher: https://goo.gl/DczYge We’re on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/hardcorecasualspodcast/ Twitter! https://twitter.com/CasualsHardcore And YouTube! https://goo.gl/mjs2BA  

They're back! After a bit of a break for holidays and poor Dan being sick as a dog, Jen, Josh, and Dan are back in the recording seat for a New Year update! Ben is unfortunately off being sick and tending to family matters (impending baby #3), so they're pulled in a special guest to fill the fourth chair. The crew runs down what they've been playing, what they got for Christmas and on the PSN holiday sale, and fires up the Monster Hunter hype train because it's JUST AROUND THE CORNER OMG! CHOO CHOOOOOOO Games mentioned: Sims 4 (the definitely not family friendly edition) GTAV Online Assassin's Creed Origins Assassin's Creed 2 (The Ezio Collection) Horizon Zero Dawn: the Frozen Wilds Gran Turismo Sport Probably other stuff Jen is forgetting while she types this...look, a lot went on in this episode Where to find us in all the places! iTunes: https://goo.gl/Mf6SQo Google Play: https://goo.gl/1EgVCM Stitcher: https://goo.gl/DczYge We’re on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/hardcorecasualspodcast/ Twitter! https://twitter.com/CasualsHardcore And YouTube! https://goo.gl/mjs2BA  

Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for the first annual Hazzie Cazzie awards show! Everyone is excited about the Game Awards, Jen, Ben, Dan, and Josh included. Listen as they run through the list of categories and nominees for 2017 and give their winners (and occasionally debate each others' choices)!

This week, the crew debates whether mid-generation console mini-upgrades are good or bad (Xbox OneXOneXXzeroXOneX?) and gives a quick mention to the new fun things announced at Blizzcon (or at least the new fun things that they care about). There's also the usual tormenting of Jen and a lot of various game talk, as it seems Josh, Dan, and Ben are slowly following Jen's bad influence and playing too many games at once.

The crew is a little bit off the hook this week, but we're having a spooktacular time talking about the SPOOPIEST games we've ever played! Ben is back from a Stardew Valley packed vacation, Dan has been absorbed into Warframe, Josh is playing antisocial single player games, and Jen...well, Jen obviously hates herself. (She would add more to these notes, but...well...you'll understand when you listen.)

This week, Jen and Dan are playing Warframe, while Josh bides his time and waits for them to figure it out so they can teach him what to do. Ben has joined Jen in Stardew Valley, having gotten over the trolling from last week's episode and realizing the joy that is tending a virtual farm. They also delve into peripherals, round 2, including some of the weird, less-than-awesome accessories from their pasts.   Games mentioned: Stardew Valley Destiny 2 Warframe GTA V Where to find us in all the places! iTunes: https://goo.gl/Mf6SQo Google Play: https://goo.gl/1EgVCM Stitcher: https://goo.gl/DczYge We’re on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/hardcorecasualspodcast/ Twitter! https://twitter.com/CasualsHardcore And YouTube! https://goo.gl/mjs2BA  

This week on Hardcore Casuals, Ben manages to make it through an intro segment without any issues, which is strangely disappointing to Jen, Dan, and Josh. Josh goes demo crazy, while Jen returns to the farm (it's NOT FARMVILLE, PEOPLE), Ben tries to motivate himself to return to Divinity, and Dan gets his Cuphead on. The gang also goes into their various Kontrol Freek preferences and chats SNES Classic, now that it's here. Games mentioned: Destiny 2 Stardew Valley Cuphead Demos!

This week, Jen makes her first official foray into dad joke territory, making Josh a proud cohost, while Dan and Ben can only gag. The anticipation for the SNES Classic is building as release draws near, but the crew is still mostly focused on Destiny 2 and the excitement of raiding and nerdy background lore.

Tune in this week for your four favorite anglers' updates on the most anticipated release of 2017: Fishing Planet!!!    ...oh, and that Destiny 2 thing. They may have talked about that.

You have been warned)!

On this week's episode, Josh drops a bomb on Jen, Ben, and Dan - the most anticipated game ever, Fishing Planet, is free to play on PSN and Steam! There's much hype for Destiny 2, which is almost here and everyone can taste the excitement! The crew chats about tragic events from their past gaming collections and experiences, and Jen gets to be proud that she's pulled Dan into yet another series of games: Ys! (Don't worry, we tell you how to pronounce it during the show.)

This week, Ben gives us the lowdown on some of the new and exciting things coming to Destiny 2, and talks about a creative alternative to the hard-to-find SNES Classic. Jen drools excitedly over the Secret of Mana remake while Dan shakes his head at her stubborn Diablo 3 attitude, and Josh tells dad jokes like only Josh can (Banuki Mario...smh). The crew also chats strategy guides - with some interestingly differing opinions.   Games mentioned: Diablo 3 Destiny 2 Secret of Mana Metroid Prime Dragon Quest Builders GTAV Divinity: Original Sin Pokemon Go Links!

This week on the podcast, our four heroes are experiencing some truly hardcore rage about this whole SNES Classic preorder situation. Jen, Ben, and Dan are all playing almost the same list of games, while Josh has been playing Nidhogg 2 and having an existential dilemma about what to play post Doom. And how about that Fishing Planet demo, huh???

This week, Jen, Ben, Dan, and Josh are delving into the topic of Gaming Comfort Food (i.e. old games that we still love to revisit). They're also talking Dead Cells, Undertale, and Nidhogg 2 in all its gibberish-inducing glory.   Games discussed: Doom Divinity: Original Sin Yooka-Laylee Dead Cells Undertale Nidhogg 2 A smattering of other stuff, just listen to the show   Links!

This week, Jen, Ben, Dan, and Josh are talking about the upcoming games they're looking forward to most, games that have never been remade/remastered and definitely should have been, and Jen's favorite topic ever: awesome video game soundtracks!    Links to all - well, most, of the games and soundtracks we talked about during the show: OCRemix  Guild Wars Katamari Damacy Metroid Prime Super Metroid Skull Monkeys Megaman Lemmings SNES Maniac Mansion Crystalis Secret of Mana   Links to our show in all the places! iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/hardcore-casuals/id1263650696# Google Play: https://goo.gl/1EgVCM Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/hardcore-casuals?refid=stpr

This week, missing member Dan joins the show to round out the Hardcore Casual crew along with Jen, Ben, Josh, and the unofficial fifth member, Josh's new microphone. There's much talk of the New 2DS XL and Monster Hunter 4, and an entire segment dedicated to the resurgence of the awesomeness that is everything Final Fantasy.   The Scream (Jen will not be responsible if you hurt yourself from the level of cringe): https://youtu.be/0B_4IjqDv7U  The FFXIV wedding you've heard so much about: https://youtu.be/JnpJQ2Oo6CI    Links to us everywhere you want to be (kind of like Visa but better): iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/hardcore-casuals/id1263650696# Google Play: https://goo.gl/1EgVCM Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/hardcore-casuals?refid=stpr

Hi everybody! It's our very first episode ever! We're a group of friends who connected through Destiny and are excited to bring you our thoughts on games, gaming, and general (probably nerdy) topics yet to be determined. Join Jen, Ben, and Josh this week as we chat Destiny 2 beta action and the SNES Classic (that everyone wants and nobody will be able to buy)!
