Son of a Buttonmasher

What do you mean it's been a whole year since our last podcast episode? WE'VE BEEN HERE THE WHOLE TIME! Just kidding. It's been a while. We've missed you. But we're back and with more games to talk about. Alex and Wiley talk about their current roster of games including one racer that's coming back into the limelight after 20 years! Some audio snippets in this episode are from some amazing creators that are worth checking out including Brentalfloss, Markiplier, and Alex's personal favorite, B-Mask (Beyond Pictures) who did an amazing analysis of the Sly Cooper games. Go check them out!

Alex and Wiley are back talking about GamesCom from a few months ago (weeks ago, when we recorded). Going over all new releases as well as our favorite crappy games that are out there. Thanks for joining us for another episode of Son of a Buttonmasher! :)

Koreskape is back for his second episode on Son of a Buttonmasher! Let's be honest, there's no prepared material...just a lot of riffing about anything and everything! We've got what we think would be the next big title after the Super Smash Bros. games, plus workshopping the next 4 Super Mario titles, and plenty of other things in between. All this and more in this edition of Son of a Buttonmasher! You can check out all of Koreskape's stuff on his YouTube and streaming accounts and please check out his new album "Awake, Alive" for plenty of cool tunes!

The boys are back (later than expected). This time it's all about the games that made us gamers from platformers to RPGs to sports titles. A long-standing joke is given a proper explanation and there is much wailing and gnashing at teeth at the remembrance of a classic game dev. Thanks for sticking around and please enjoy the second episode of season 2! (finally!)

Well, whaddya know? ALEX AND WILEY HAVE RETURNED FROM THE HIATUS ABYSS!! It's been sooo long since we've done this, so we are pumped and ready to go! Mind you, we recorded this in June after E3 happened, so there's a lot that is probably dated info, but we've MISSED you all so much! Time to catch up with us and talk about our favorite E3 reveals with our usual oddball humor to boot!

Alex is joined by his friend, Shelby, aka GameChops producer Koreskape for the penultimate episode of Season 1 of Son of a Buttonmasher! Discussion ranges from SoulsBorne titles, RPG issues, Rogue-like games, and some really odd Twitter jokes! It was awesome hanging with Shelby for this episode, but you can check out his music on his Spotify and several other streaming platforms like Tidal, Apple Music, and various others! He's also a YouTuber. Videos and artist pages will be linked below!

Featuring music from Koreskape

For this episode of SOABM, we are hosting our own "awards show".

It's all of this and more with Alex and Wiley back again for Son of a Buttonmasher!

The boys are back with the 10TH EPISODE OF THE PODCAST!! Wooo! It's been a fun journey just getting here, but that doesn't mean the game-talk won't stop. This week it's PUZZLE games ranging from the classic Tetris and Zelda to newer titles like Portal and Superliminal.

Alex and Wiley are back talking about their favorite chill games, but you can't talk chill games without mentioning ANIMAL CROSSING. But with that comes a dangerously powerful force... An absolute pro joins the conversation with the podcast's first-ever special guest!! Wiley's wife, Hayley, joins us for a bit to share about why Animal Crossing is one of her favorite games ever and somehow Spy Kids 3D waltzes into the discussion. Sounds pretty normal for a Tuesday night, right?

It's all in this week's episode! (Note: This is Alex from the future. So we've got to the point in our timeline where my past self does not want to put the audio on Youtube anymore since Anchor is pretty awesome about no data limitations.
