A weekly discussion of video games, pop culture, and life in the Land of 10,000 Lakes!

Yeah, I know, it's a lame title but a good episode. Promise! Jon finished the surprisingly long Dave the Diver and the frenetic and fun Neon White.

While Angie's been living out her fantasies in Hogwars Legacy, Chris put plastic on his windows...he also played some video games. Sayonara Wild Hearts, Donut County, he battled old age in Fortnite Festival, Alan Wake 2, Monster Hunter World, PuzzMo, Cocoon. I think he's making up for some lost time. They also talk about the Game Shark which no one has done in 30 years and more lay-offs (sad face).

James and Jon finally catch up on a lot of games! Jon's been playing so many he lost his train of thought. The things he could remember are Starfied (it's bad), Sea of Stars and Separate Ways (the RE4 Remake DLC). He's also been rocking the Asus ROG Ally. James has been playing some of the same games with the addition of Baldur's Gate 3. He's also using Tabletop Simulator to take part in an online Root tournament. Pretty cool, right!?

Angie finally watched Pokemon: Detective Pikachu and also throws a little shade at James and Jon. When she's not talkin' shit, she's been playing TOTK and the original Dead Space. Chris has been playing the game that must not be named (it rhymes with Larval Slap) as well as KOTOR. On news, they talk about GamesCom opening night and Green Bay getting a new development studio!

Is Pikmin 4 the ultimate Pikmin game? James played it and talks about it here but I'm can't honestly remember the answer. In addition to TOTK, Angie's been playing a bit of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit Remastered. She's been playing as the cops though so this may have been her last show. Jon "finished" TOTK and has been playing a lot of stuff without feeling to strongly about any of it: Wavetale, Everybody's Golf, Atomic Heart. Poor guy. Maybe he should get off his ass and do something with his life?! Also, we do gaming trivia!

The moment has finally come! We've all been dying with anticipation to hear Angie's take on the LOTR movie trilogy and that day is finally here. James talks about a board game called ROOT…more like a “bored” game, am I right? I jest. It actually sounds pretty cool.

We talk about a lot of things: Viewtiful Joe, FF tactics Advance, Astro Boy, Hi-Fi Rush, The Ascent but, most importantly, James has played and finished Metroid Prime Remastered.

Damn technical difficulties! I blame Jon for using a USB-A to USB-C cable. Get up to speed, jackass! Anyway, Chris finished Tunic and has opinions that might be contrary to the popular one. James finished Hi-Fi Rush and enjoyed it despite a troubling technical hiccup. Jon platinumed Biomutant and moved on to High on Life. We also make fools of ourselves by predicting Nintendo Direct announcements. Lastly, we touch on the drama surrounding Hogwarts Legacy and the difficulties of separating the art from the artist.

We've agreed that there are too many games. Jon is still chugging away on Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga and Biomutant. Chris is playing Tunic, Pentiment, Norco and the new gem, Hi-Fi Rush. Angie is the only smart one who limits herself to one game at a time by playing Pentiment. We also cover the lack of interest in the moribund E3 convention. Lastly, can Halo recover from the trouble at 343 or the lack of interest in the franchise? JOIN US!!!

James and Jon on this one. James is still exhibiting his detective skills in Disco Elysium as well as playing Mother. Turns out Mother isn't about mothers at all but rather a humorous game in which a boy named Ninten battles aliens and brainwashed individuals! Who knew?! Jon, on the other hand, loves mediocrity and is thus playing and thoroughly enjoying Biomutant! We also recount the news from the Xbox Developer Direct and discuss the downfall of Rick and Mortie creator, Justin Roiland.

Chris and James start by talking about one of the coolest anti-heroes in Sci-Fi, Thrawn! Then they talk about video games because that's what the show's generally about. James is playing Disco Elysium (I personally couldn't believe he hadn't played this already. It seems like a very “James” kinda game), Mother (I can't, I can't play a game called Mother…it's creepy), and Iron Lung (Spoilers: It is not about the hyperbaric chamber Michael Jackson used). Chris is still loving Game Pass because it's awesome. He proves it by playing NORCO and Tunic which are great games! Tunic was robbed of at least one Game Award!

There's no direction in this podcast, I tell ya! James and Jon just talk about whatever they want. Jon's kid won't stop making noise!!! Jon insults a loyal listener. Who keeps letting him on this show!!??? It's…it's a good time! Once we do get on track we talk about God of War: Ragnarok (weird, I know). James has also been playing a couple indie darlings: UnMetal and Frogun. Jon is still in love with his Analogue Pocket having finished Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap and starting on Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga. We also talk about the continued woes for Ubisoft and Xbox's upcoming developer stream.

James and Jon are both in love with God of War: Ragnarok. It's great! James is also solving a mystery and trying not to contract the Plague in Pentiment. Jon is still adoring his Analogue Pocket and definitely not using it in any illegal way at all, whatsoever. Also, since we're recording the night before the Game Awards, we discuss a select number of Game Awards nominees because we like to sound like idiots in hindsight!

James goes in depth on the new Pokemon game(s), Scarlet and Violet? Despite mediocre reviews he seems to enjoy it quite a bit. James and Jon are both playing God of War: Ragnarok and loving it. Jon also picked up an Analogue Pocket and it might be the best purchase he's ever made. Also, is the FTC finally going to cockblock Microsoft?!

Angie, Chris and James on this one. They talk about a lot of games, including the real GOW, God of War: Ragnarok! Angie's shootin' shit. Chris is slanging cards like they're crack rocks and trying to decide what game is next for him…if you would like to help him decide. Hit him up @vgoccasion on Twitter.

Angie and Chris run through the Nintendo Indie Showcase, take a look at live action Gears of War (ya think Angie's excited?), discuss a further probing (Chris's word, not mine) of the Microsoft purchase of Activision/Blizzard. Also, ya know how you can't get a PS5 still? Well how about a PS5 slim?! Chris and Angie also run through a bit of what they've been playing, including Halo 2, Marvel Snap and Luigi's Mansion 3!

It's a spicy one! Someone named Jon was on this episode. Claimed he'd been here before. We were too tired to argue so we just let him host. James is getting into spooky season with some Dead Space. This “Jon” character played Rollerdrome and Sifu. Angie's found her new spirit animal, Cat Mario, in Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. We also dive into some news. Some might say CD Projekt Red's a bit overambitious with their new project schedule. And you can start earning rewards with PlayStation's new Stars program. Everyone thinks it's lame. Jon thinks it's cool because he's a fanboy. We're not sure we'll have him back.

We took a week off in order to let you process all the news that was brought to you the week before. You're welcome. Since Jon is apparently dead or retired or something, Chris has taken over our coverage of 2D platformers with Unsighted. James is digging (wink, wink) into some Shovel Knight and MGSV! I don't know about y'all but I could probably talk about Metal Gear all day. They also hit on the news that Disney wants a new Star Wars game every six months. I say fuckin' bring it! They also answer some pressing questions since recent presentations from PlayStation, Nintendo and Ubisoft.

James really likes outer space. To prove it, he's playing FTL (Faster Than Light) and Outer Wilds. Angie really likes being frustrated by random occurrences. To prove it, she's playing Super Mario Party. Angie also talks shit on the news sounder for the second week in a row. I guess we should probably change it? There's also A TON of news since we had a Playstation State of Play and Nintendo Direct this week.

James and Chris team up to discuss Elden Ring end boss woes. Chris has been checking out the cozy Calico game and discusses his thoughts after completing Citizen Sleeper. James has playing Fallout 2 and gives us an earful on his thoughts on every other Fallout. We discussed the plethora of tactics games coming out this year including those that got delays, Arc System Works wanting to work on a western IP, and a uncovered secret two player mode in Super Punch Out!! 28 years since the game launched!

Angie, James and Jon on this one. Jon played a delightful 2D platformer/MetroidVania called Ender Lilies. Angie jumped into life as Eivor in Assassin's Creed: Valhalla and she's also driving cars, presumably poorly, in MarioKart 8…or 9 or whatever. James is playing Live A Live (we don't know how to pronounce it either) and Legend of the River King. We also talk about the banger of games coming to PlayStation Plus Essential in August and RockStars change in image.
