Play with Yourself

Hey, we're gonna be doing a bit of hiatus. Nothing crazy, nothing too long, just wanna step back for a min. So don't expect this every single week for the time being. And don't stop following the social media, so you know what's going on when we do. Thanks!

Xbox event on 7/23 was  lame, official Play With Yourself recommendation is get a PS5 like all men with big penises (us), or get an Xbox and stay living with your parents, not getting laid, and having a noticably smaller penis.

We all the last samurai now baby.Big week with Ghost of Tsushima releasing. Last PlayStation exclusive of this gen, and Abdul and Justin think it's a worthy send off. I made the less cool choice in getting SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE, and I have some mixed feelings. Follow Justin's social media @chocobearcomedy and new twitch @chocobeargaming, Abdul's social media @oscarwinnerseanpenn, find me @rgaymcfarty on instagram and keep on listening. THANKS.Other topics this week: Pokemon, Nintendo Consoles, PS4 Exclusives, DualSense Controller, and the Xbox Streaming Event on 7/23. There's other stuff, but I'm not writing it all here, listen to the stupid episode. 

We did comedy for the first time in 4 months. It went great. It's over guys. We were in this together and we made it. We beat coronavirus. Now we can go back to working and making more money for rich people, all while tearing each other apart on Facebook and the news. Just kidding, this was a fun episode though. Some of the games mentioned this week: Ghost of Tsushima (7/17/20), Predator Hunting Grounds, Rise of the Tomb Raider, A Plague Tale, Metroid Other M, SUPERHOT: MIND CONTROL DELETE (7/16/20).

We talked about Last of Us 2, but we're all done after this one. So, still don't listen if you haven't finished the game. I promise we won't stagger spoilers like this again, but games like this don't come around all the time so cut us some slack? Right, I wouldn't either. I'm pretty sure we stopped spoiling after the 40 min mark if you wanna jump in there, but I'm not certain, so listen at your own risk. Thanks!

**SPOILERS FOR THE LAST OF US 2 (in episode, not description)** Ok, sooo we fucked up lol. Justin didn't finish the game cause he went to TX to shoot guns and prevent abortions, so we did zoom again while he quarantines. But we did our best to do a wrap up episode on this game so we can stop talking about it, but we're still gonna talk about it next week when he finishes. Bear with us for this unnecessarily long ep, a better one is coming your way, I promise. (Obv this is riddled with spoilers so don't listen if you haven't played or finished the game. Thx.)

This whole episode is Last of Us 2. Apologies, veeerrrry minor spoilers inside. Nothing big story wise, just a few minor side details from the first 10 hours of the game. But if you wanna go into the game totally blind, listen at your own risk. Probably next week we're gonna spoil it outright for anyone who finished the game, but I promise that'll be the last episode where Last of Us lasts the entire time. 

Slightly early upload! We talked about the PS5 event from last week almost the entire time. We went off on a few tangents here and there as well, mostly about The Last of Us Part II releasing Friday, which we couldn't be more erect about. Thanks for listening, let us know what you're playing, and what you think we should play, by hitting us up on instagram, facebook, or twitter.  Justin: @chocobearcomedy Abdul: @oscarwinnerseanpenn RJ: @rgaymcfarty

The world's on fire, but here's to hoping the good people out there protesting against the wannabe Nazi Jrs are gonna change things for the better. And maybe we can get more video games where you get to live out a power fantasy of kicking the shit out of cops. (When did all these losers on social media start liking cops??) Anyways, thanks for listening.

Sorry for no ep last week I was busy building our brand new studio (aka moving into an even crappier apartment). But we're back at it. We had tons of goodies to talk about like our hype for Last of Us 2, Sony's upcoming PS5 conference, some weird Hong Kong game Abdul played, Nioh 1 & 2, and more. Again, try to share with your friends if ya like what you're hearing and follow the social medias and shit. Thaaaanks. 

Talked about the disappointing Ghost of Tsushima gameplay, got nostalgic about wrestling games, and had a good laugh about sexy Princess Peach. And, as usual, oh so much more inside. You can always sub the YouTube channel, rate the podcast on Apple Podcasts, and share it with your friends. Everything helps. Also send Abdul money for his birthday. Or food. Or shelter. Honestly you could just compliment him, that's free, and will still save his life.

I apologize if you were burning to order some butt toys in our honor, butt unfortunately there's an issue with the coupon code. We'll have to (thankfully) get a new one. Anyways, lots of good gaming stuff this week: Disco Elysium, FF VII Remake, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Limbo, Bionic Commando Rearmed, Cyberpunk 2077 and lots, lots more. Sorry again about the promo code, butt check out their site anyways. If you want to collect that good corona unemployment, check it at work. 

Zoom =/= in person podcasting. But we're making the best of it, and we still had a good time. Joined once again this week by our long time friend, musician and fellow hot sexy gamer girl, Michael Sloan. We talk about my shitty neighborhood, Abdul's choking fetish (Blood Trail), updates on Predator Hunting Grounds, Disco Elysium, The Last of Us 2 spoiler debacle (no spoilers for the game inside, pinky promise) and more. Follow our youtube and social media if'n ya want s'more us stuff. You can follow Mike @rolandkorgsynth on instagram to check out the latest on his music. 

This week we talked RE: 3 (slight spoilers), Predator Hunting Grounds, FF VII Remake, and a special look at Stranded Deep courtesy of Beam Team Games. If you're enjoying the show, let us know @playwithyourselfpodcast on instagram, and share it with your friends, or tell me to go kill myself. I don't need much more motivation at this point. Thanks!

Week 2 zooming, we had some fun. The great Will Phillips (@thethryll) joins us again. We talked about his "MLB The Show" play through as his father, plus a bunch more gaming goodness. Also we got into the world of sex games a bit, and things went wild a few times lol. Listen in, it's a good one. And thanks for the iTunes ratings so far, keep 'em coming!

We're zoomers now baby. First remote episode, and Abdul came to us live from Ethiopia, which is the only explanation for his call quality. This week we review Biped from NExT Studios, talked COD: MW since I started playing, look back at BioShock: Burial at Sea, and oh so much more. Subscribe! (we're on youtube now)

I gamer sinned and had a girl on the show. Mystical joins the podcast for the first time cause Abdul's sick, and I'm a contagion hazard from a possible exposure to coronavirus. We'll be back together remotely next week. Mystical gives us some good insight on Animal Crossing, I'm quitting DOOM, plus LOU2 delay, and a bunch more. Like, share, follow, free Joe Exotic. 

Mild spoilers, but we kept it vague: DOOM is pretty much all we talked about this ep lol. We got into some good updates and tried not to let this totally bullshit government hoax of a virus get us down (Joe Biden created it when he went to a wet market and ate a baby with Hillary Clinton). We covered the mini Nintendo direct a bit, chatted about Half Life: Alyx, and a bunch more. We'll have a twitch soon, follow the instagram playwithyourselfpodcast to stay updated. 

Justin got real mad about the true things I said about Nightmare difficulty in DOOM. Good thing I'm the one who uploads the podcast. We talked about our post-comedy, but pre-apocalypse lives a bit. Then we chatted about the Final Ever Game of The Year, DOOM Eternal. Also Abdul bought Hollow Knight, Justin's playing 7 Deadly Sins, the RE3 demo is live, PS5 vs. Series X specs are out, and oh so much more for you lovely quarantined mofos. Stay inside, play games, and listen to Play With Yourself!

This might be the messiest ep yet, sorry for that. But there's still some fun stuff here, usual game chat with a looot of penis talk (not sorry about that). We got into COD: Warzone, BioShock, and the overreaction that is the coronavirus cancellations. 

We had to do a short one because I had a show after, sorry. I'll make it up next week. But if you want more content follow me on TikTok (@rgaymcfarty), I've been having fun. Also follow the podcast on there @pwypod. Anyways, we were a bit underprepared but we had some good chats about The Last of Us TV show, RE3 updates, BioShock, and of course the highly anticipated Animal Shelter Simulator.

I tried to get into MGS V again, and Justin gives us an in depth review of The Forest. Abdul also talked about something, but I wasn't listening. We also covered RE3 Remake, new Xbox Series X specs, GDC postponement, as well as pitching our own ideas for games. Oh, and follow us on Spotify, cause I guess most of you listen there.

After catching up for a bit, we jumped right into more Smash Ultimate talk, Justin played The Forest, and Abdul finished Raiding Tombs. We also talk PSVR, RE3, and I just can't stay away from Reddit. By the way, give the podcast a follow on Spotify if you're listening there... oh, and don't forget: Abdul totally watches anime.

I'm making decent headway in my little experiment in finishing old games, which rubbed off on Justin (nice). Meanwhile, Abdul's busy Raiding Tombs in a certain game whose name escapes me. We also talk about Dreams' success, DOOM Eternal's sick looking multiplayer mode, and a bunch more. Fun episode, share it with your friends if they aren't afraid of the n word. 

I fell down from a sitting position onto my dog. My dog is 100% fine, but I feel bad. Anyways, we talked about so many games. Far Cry 5, Prey, COD, Subnautica, Tomb Raider, and more. Plus we chat Dan Houser's exit from Rockstar, and Tencent's "leak" about coronavirus. Skip the part where I fell, it was embarrassing.

Super funny Will Phillips joined us for this one and we had a blast. Bit more general discussion happening because gaming news this past week was preeetty lame (and let's be honest, it usually is). We had some real fun talking about what we're playing, gaming as an adult, and bunch more. It's worth the listen. Check Will out on Twitch @QuiteBadAtGaming, and on Twitter @thethryll, you'll enjoy him.  

Justin's back, talking about Subnautica, Abdul's back on Red Dead, and I'm currently a slave to a children's game. We also chat extensively about DOOM Eternal, and Joe Biden's comments on gaming. Follow/reach out to us on r78/playwithyourself, @playwithyourselfpodcast, and on Facebook.

focus /ˈfōkəs/ noun, 1. Something Abdul and Mike are incapable of practicing. This was an extremely erratic episode, thanks to Abdul and Mike's autisming. But we chatted about VR and PC gaming, Abdul's further reluctance to play Red Dead, and I got Pokemon so I can chill with my elementary homeboys. Plus, we delve deeper into r/patientgamers. Also, Justin wasn't here because he was out being comedy successful.

We talked a liiittle bit too much about comedy, sorry. But we got right into talking about tons of games: RE2, Code Vein, Red Dead (jesus Abdul), Pokemon, and a bunch more. Oh, and we made fun of reddit again, that was fun. Speaking of reddit, don't forget we have one, r/playwithyourself. Post on it so we can make fun of you too. 

Mike brought over his PC while we recorded so this was the most distracted we've been, ever. BUT we did talk about some cool stuff, and I came to the conclusion that Kingdom Come sucks, plus much more. Listen in. 

Hey, welcome to the last episode of 2019. Late one, my bad. We talk all our xmas gaming goodies, and our 2020 Gaming Resolutions. The resolution for the podcast is firing Abdul. (We're still going to force him to come over for every episode and watch his replacement.)

We talk about all of our end of the year, and decade, favorites. Also Abdul's name is funny. Pls rate on iTunes and Podchaser so I have something nice to tell my mom on Xmas. 

Our recap of The Game Awards, more Jedi Fallen Order talk, and me and Justin go at it over the new Xbox design. Also, we have a subreddit now if you wanna join it: r/PlayWithYourself. And rate the damn podcast over on Podchaser too, cool startup 3rd party podcast review aggregate. Thanks, and whatever.

Back to normal. We talked about Jedi Fallen Order, our Game Awards predictions, favorite silly weapons in games and oh so much more. Sorry for the late upload btw, had to edit out myself saying some racial slurs. Anyways, enjoy!

Hey no normal ep this week. Snow storm hit tha 'Cuse and jacked up our schedule. Instead I have an old unreleased project from last year. It has nothing to do with video games, so beware. But I think it's fun and you might too. And if you don't, then let me just say your mother is ugly. Regular episode will be back next week.

We hit episode 18, so now we're legal. That's right, come get up in these guts, boys. On this one we talk Jedi Fallen Order, I finally finished Outer Worlds, and we get deep on VR gaming. BTW: new upload day is every Monday morning.

Back with the old guard, proper in this one. Usual chats about what we're playing, plus Pokemon updates (not looking good), and a deep dive on romance in games at the end. This was a very fun one. So listen to it, you loser. 

Justin and Abdul are back together, and our friend Paul Kozlowski came on as our first 4th mic. We spend most of our time educating Paul on gaming and asking him about any possible interaction he's had with video games. It's pretty much none. We don't know why we asked him on either. But he's very funny, so it's a good listen regardless. 

Part 2 of the double upload. Abdul's out for this one, so this is the first non-autistic episode. Mike is back with us to fill in, and we had a good ol' time. We talked new COD: MW (and mobile, of course), more Outer Worlds, I had the best escape room idea ever (which I've already trademarked so don't try), and lots more game related bs as usual.

Justin's out for this one, subbing in is the soft spoken and microphone repelling author of our theme song, Mike Sloan. We talked Outer Worlds bugs, the Fallout 1st crap, when to give up on a game, and oh so much more. Note: Double upload this week because I got overzealous. Please enjoy. 

Abdul had the sniffles so he couldn't play Red Dead. We also talk about Google Stadia preorders, and Five Below's recent e-sports investments. 

Abdul finally played RDR2, and we talk Outer Worlds, League of Legends Mobile, do our best to understand Fortnite: Chapter 2, and discuss how China is going to rule gaming in 5 years. Subscribe/rate, etc. and dm us your opinions, thoughts, and pics of your mom naked on instagram (hot moms only, ugly moms send to Abdul specifically).

Abdul loves 2 things: Death Stranding, and Rold Gold pretzels. This week we all played some good stuff. Plus we talk COD Mobile, Doom delay, and much more. 

Double digits, woo! We chat more Control, more TLOU2, COD mobile, Achievement/Trophy hunting, plus a bunch of other stuff. Follow the instagrams, and puhleeez rate us on iTunes. Thank youuu.

This week we loooved Hellblade, are super excited for The Last of Us Part II, and I come up with the best damn movie game idea ever. Plus we have Abdul's dad on the show for a bit (really great guy). Like, share, rate, etc, send us your mom's phone number. 

We have esteemed indie dev Damien Simmons on the podcast to talk briefly about his new project, and for us to fangirl over his legacy as a legendary game developer. And Abdul finally got Control, so we chat about that too, plus much more. Real fun one, don't forget to blah blah iTunes yadda yadda @playwithyourselfpodcast on instagram. 

Episode 7. Just us gals, bein pals. On this episode: More Skyrim talk (sorry), Death Stranding at TGS, and the depictions of video games in movies. Huge help if you rate, subscribe, and email Abdul pictures of your mom's feet. Thanks. 

This week we're talking all the newest games like Skyrim and DOOM.I'm actually not sure who this show is even for, but I know we like it so if you do too, please rate it on iTunes.If you do I'll never bring it up again. (Lie) 

This week chat about Cyberpunk 2077, Dying Light 2, Superhot, and a bunch of other stuff. Also the Nintendo Switch is totally an adult system made by grown ups, for grown ups, and not babies who poop their pants. Pls rate on iTunes thx.

This week we talk about what we saw from Gamescom, decide what games we'd play for the rest of our lives, and why former athletes should just keep their mouths shut about video games. Don't forget to follow the instagram @playwithyourselfpodcast, like the facebook page, and for the love of god please leave an iTunes review, or I'll yell in my dog's face on the next episode. 

Justin, RJ, and Abdul get together again to talk what's new with video games in their life, and share some of their horrible GameStop experiences. Follow us on instagram @playwithyourselfpodcast and rate/review, blah blah blah...
