Mashing Buttons

February is the month of love, and boy is there a lot to love this month. This month is stacked with exciting releases and can't wait to share our thoughts. Screw Valentines Day, the only thing we'll be mashing are these buttons!

This week we talk about our impressions of Guardians of the Galaxy. We try very hard to sell Doug on playing it. Do we succeed? Listen and find out!

YEAH YEAH YEAH OK OK OK! We're late. So what!? I'm sure at least 6 of your were late today! Anyways, here's our Halloween episode...sorry for yelling.

In this episode from September, the guys talk Gamescom and State of Play news and announcements, including Midnight Suns, KOTOR Remake, Forspoken, & Spider-Man 2! Matt defends his hatred of Wolverine and the guys commiserate over their confusion around all these Vampire: The Masquerade and World of Darkness games.

In this episode the Button Boys are talking about their most anticipated games in the near future. Its a Button Bonanza. 

Lots of juicy stuff in this one. A lil bit of Death's Door, a lil bit of Fall Guys, and some of that sick new Dead Space Remake. Why don't you uhhhh...take a sip.

What is a Yuffie? Why does one Steam Deck? How many rats does it take to get to the bottom of plague era France? These mysteries and more will be uncovered on a TANTALIZING episode of everyone's FAVORITE gaming podcast.   We're just glad Tim Curry is alive.

In this meaty episode of Mashing Buttons we talk more about E3 and everything Nintendo got us excited for. Grab a bib because this meaty episode of Mashing Buttons is just dripping with content.

Better late than never! Matt details his delves into the depths of Hades, Doug is busy strip mining the galaxy in Astroneer, and Bryan waxes poetic about the mechanics of Returnal. Then, everyone's all on that Resident Evil: Village train and oh "baby" are they pumped about it. Plus, Mass Effect! They did those games again! And the guys compare play styles and choices. Next time it'll be more timely, we promise. Maybe.

This episode the 'Button Boys' give their first impressions on Resident Evil Village and discuss Matt's overwhelming fear while playing it. Seriously, he's so scared. And he's not even in the Doll House part yet. Then they give some thoughts on the upcoming Mass Effect Legendary Edition, one of their favorite franchises of all time. Will Matt be scared of that too? I don't know, we'll find out!

Whoa whoa whooooaaaaa. The Button Boiz are getting into some hard hitting territory. Cheating. Make sure you get yourself a discreet motel room for this one. You gotta keep your dirty little video game secrets to yourself. Shhhhhh...

Buckle up buddy, the gang's in prime, tangent-filled form this week. They talk the new graphics vs. old gameplay of Mafia Remastered, the messed up save system in Disco Elysium, & what kinds of games are relaxing or stressful to them. Plus Outriders, Odd World, & multiple Residents Evil. It's a real grab bag. If the Devil was in a shed with a grenade launcher... would YOU go in? We rest our case.

This week the button boys discuss how games update and grow over time. Some start really bad, and get better. Or some start good and get f****** crazy, you know, like Fortnite.

The gang's doing shots for this one! Join us we talk about the gassy streets of New York, a hobbit like creature's majestic journey, and the delicious mixture of tequila and Chinese food. Mmmmmm...

Live, die, repeat on this week's show as the guys talk Loop Hero and the games they just can't stop playing! They also give some Persona 5 and Control updates, discuss the finer points of lemonade-based drinks, and... frankly just kind of vent about the existence of the Snyder Cut. Hey, whatever your lemonade has in it, we're not judging. Pour yourself a glass and hang with us.

This week we talk about the forbidden topic.... XBOX! And we sadly mourn the exclusivity of Bethesda and what that means for us as gamers going forward. Also, we give our final impressions of Wandavision!

Join the Button Boys as they dig into the most recent Nintendo Direct, State of Play, and lots of juicy new Pokemon news! Our courage will pull us through. -Jason Paige
