Rebel FM

It's the last show before the Switch 2 launches and we feel fine, because we're talking about literally anything else, including the Lenovo Legion Go S Steam Edition (and some weirdness with how games look on it), Elden Ring: Nightreign (and some weirdness with what people expected from it), along with other weirdness including Police Simulator and more.  This week's music:  Pixel Grip - Reason to Stay

It's a slower week, so we're all digging into backlogs and things we missed — things like Crime Scene Cleaner, Deadzone: Rogue, and Police Simulator. But we also find time to talk 9Kings, the new Nvidia 5060, and even read some emails.  This week's music:  Spiritbox - Perfect Soul

We're just a pair with a shorter show this week as we chat a bit more about Doom: The Dark Ages and the nature of PC system requirements (and the state of PC hardware and GPUs right now), plus Crashlands 2, Final Destination Bloodlines, then a bunch of your emails.  This week's music:  Finishing Move Inc. - Unchained Predator

This week we go deep into Doom: The Dark Ages, but we also chat about the best GPU under a thousand bucks, Cash Cleaner Simulator, V Rising, 4K disc players, and plenty more.  This week's music:  HEALTH and Chelsea Wolfe - Mean

Well this week sucked, really, and we dig into a bit as we discuss Polygon and the impending crisis barreling toward the enthusiast media, how bad the GTA6 delay could be for the game industry, and other fun stuff. But we also talk baout Clair Obscure, Skin Deep, Thunderbolts*, and a fair bit more.  This week's music:  Skid Row - I Remember You

We're back and talking about a lot, like the Oblivion remaster (it's not a remake!), Clair Obscure, Nubby's Number Factory and other games, and also The Accountant 2, Sinners, and some of your emails.  This week's music:  Miles Caton - I Lied To You (Radio Edit)

We're back and we're talking about several video games! We talk about some of our diverging draws in the Blue Prince, go long on South of Midnight (an early nominee for game music of the year), talk about the challenges in front of Marathon, and touch a little bit on everybody's favorite video game and tech topic: tariffs.  This week's music:  Allie X - Black Eye

Well we expected to talk about the Switch 2 and how interesting it was and what we like about it, but it's hard not to get sidetracked by how much of a debacle the tariff situation could kick off for Nintendo's new console and the video game market as a whole. But we still manage to talk about the system, why it feels better than any Switch before it, Donkey Kong Bananza, Tears of the Kingdom Enhanced, Metroid Prime 4, and more, plus South of Midnight too.  This week's music:  Coheed and Cambria - The Father of Make Believe

This week brought 2025's first big sleeper hit on Steam with Schedule 1, but that's not all, with The First Berseker and Atomfall also attempting to dislodge us from Assassin's Creed Shadows.  This week's music:  Killswitch Engage - I Believe (Alternate Edit)

We're back after a moving-induced break to talk about a few things, including GDC 2025, Assassin's Creed Shadows, board games, and more.  This week's music:  The Birthday Massacre - Sleep Tonight

We haven't played a lot because it's been one of those weeks, but we still manage to chat for a couple of hours about plenty of things, including Doom (2016), the joys of prestiging, the annoyances of PC building, your emails, and more.  This week's music:  Pvris - My House (feat. Courtney LaPlante)

It's a slower week of releases, but that's ok, because Monster Hunter Wilds has sold more than basically every other game combined so far this year probably, plus we chat about a few more games and read some of your emails.  This week's music:  Sleep Token - Chokehold

We're here and we've got a bizarre menagerie of stuff to talk about, including Abiotic Factor, Civilization VII, more Avowed, Doom 3 (yes, that Doom 3), and plenty more.  This week's music:  Cathedrals - Ooo aaa

We've returned with the most romantic games imaginable, including A Game About DIgging a Hole, Dawnfolk, Monster Hunter Wilds, Avowed, and more - and we read some emails, because we love you. Probably.  This week's music:  Lacuna Coil - Never Dawn

We're here and talking about video games because what else are we supposed to do, I guess? We've got The Stone of Madness, first impressions of the Lenovo Legion Go S handheld, the new movie Companion, plus lots more, including your emails.  This week's music:  Knocked Loose - Slaughterhouse 2 (feat. Chris Motionless)

The onslaught of games is chanting in the distance, and we've got a look ahead with some talk about Assassin's Creed Shadows. But it turns out the future is already here, as we talk about why you specifically shouldn't buy or feel bad about being unable to buy an RTX 5090, how good Ninja Gaiden 2 Black is, Star Wars Outlaws, Marvel Rivals, and more, plus we read some of your emails.  This week's music:  Beth Gibbons - Floating on a moment

This week we're all atwitter (abluesky?) about the Switch 2 and talk a lot about what we thought, what we still don't know, and speculate a lot about a very possibly stacked first year for Nintendo's upcoming handheld - plus we talk about The Roottrees are Dead, Heroes of Hammerwatch, and a lot more.  This week's music:  Gravecreeper - The Black Curtain

CES has come and gone and we're here to talk about the GPU news that was and wasn't there, the gaming handhelds that came to the show, robots, AI, Nosferatu, The Pitt, and a lot more.  This week's music:  Hole - Malibu

It's a new year and we're back, whether we want to be or not, and we're talking ... well, backlogs, honestly, with Farming Simulator 25, The Cabin Factory, the Dead Space remake, final impressions of Indiana Jones and more, including your emails about TVs and PC hardware and more.  This week's music:  Poppy - the cost of giving up

The year is just about over, the stockings have been emptied, the presents have been opened (the first candle has been lit), and we're here with our annual gift to you: an extended catalog of some of our favorite video game music of 2024. Make sure to use the bathroom now, because it's a long one, and we're NOT pulling over until we get to the end.  Happy holidays!

This week we chat about some old-ass games with some new-ass remasters, including The Thing and Soul Reaver, but we also talk about some of this year's big Game Awards announcements, how Naughty Dog is big game development's most prominent ship of Theseus, plus we read some emails.  This week's music:  Banks - Beggin for Thread (Unplugged)

This week we're surprised that 1) Indiana Jones: The Great Circle is great, and 2) that other people agree, plus we talk about the likely juggernaut of Marvel Rivals, the questionable scrutability of Caves of Qud, how to install a bunch of programs at once on a new windows install, the difference between LG's C4 and G4 tvs, and plenty more.  This week's music:  Bad Omens - The Worst in Me

Somehow a podcasting duo rambles for over two hours this week as we talk Slackers: Carts of Glory, Lonely Mountain: Snow Riders, Starfield: Shattered Space, The Axis Unseen, the new Joker and Salem's Lot movies, and we also read a lot of emails.  This week's music:  Spiritbox (feat. Tatiana Shmayluk) - Circle With Me

We're a little late on this one, but that's because we're talking about Star Wars: Outlaws (which has an embargo), but we also take time to talk about Tactical Breach Wizards, The Crow (2024), and we even squeeze in a bonus post-show spoiler chat about Alien: Romulus.  This week's music:  Halsey - Lonely is the Muse

Underoath) - Bullet With My Name

This week's music:  The Plot in You - All That I Can Give

We're once again forced to dive deep into the why of video game layoffs and studio closures, and go into the unpleasant realities of video game development and funding in 2024 ... but also there are video games, like Crow Country, and Animal Well, and even the first Hellblade.  This week's music:  Ari Abdul - Don't
