A fantastic year for games is nearing its end, which means it's time for us to look back at the past 12 months and anoint our top 10 games of the year in a discussion so big, we had to split it into two shows. This week, we're joined by a rotating panel of guests including Tony Wilson, Brendan Hesse, Chris Baker, Steve Guntli, Woody Ciskowski, Jorga Albor, and Johnny Brandon. Check out our picks for 10 through 6 this week, and stay tuned for next week, when we'll kick it off with #5 and count down to our Game of the Year.

Working in the gaming industry is a dream for so many people. You get to play games for a living, what's not to love, right? Hosts Casey, Jason, and special guest Brendan Hesse from The Crawl all have unique experience writing and creating video game content like reviews, social media posts, YouTube Videos, and more. With their powers combined, they bring the inside scoop on what it's like to work as a journalist in the gaming industry, how the job can feel tiresome and rewarding at the same time, and some of their favorite (and least favorite) aspects. Also, listen in to see how the group rates and reviews older, classic games. Will Chrono Trigger retain its prestigious status without host Patrick there to defend it?

ROCK AND ROLL! Brendan discusses visions of the future, Murph talks about the best Yakuza game yet, and Brogan schpiels about Tears of the Kingdom with the others for like an hour.Then, we cover famous licensed needledrops in games, then we cover our game of the week: Brutal Legend. Double Fine, Tim Schafer, Jack Black. The list goes on, but this is one epic tour. Be sure to tear down that shitty merch booth on your way out.

Brendan, Murph and Bro team up to go over the summer game schedule, it's STACKED bruh.

The clock's running out on 2022, so let's cap it off with part 2 of our GOTY show, with our Top 5 Games of 2022 and a roster of guests including Brendan Hesse of The Crawl, Kat Bailey of IGN and Axe of the Blood God, Tony Wilson of Framework, and Wii Universe's Steve Guntli and Woody Ciskowski! Which games claimed our top honors this year? Jump in and find out!

Number fifty? Where does the time go? Bro seems MIA, but Murph cobbled together a rag-tag team of Brendan Hesse, and Oliver (Yep)! Oliver talks about games he hasn't finished, such as Bayonetta 3 and Live A Live. Brendan talks about Gundam Evolution and Crisis Core Reunion (and we get some juicy JRPG final fantasy kingdom hearts bullshit lore.) Murph talks about Wavetale and Yakuza 0 (a game Yep also didn't finish.) and then they talk about the game of the week: Vagrant Story! A creative masterpiece that feels dynamic and impressive, even with all of its warts.And there's a surprise guest at the very end, I wonder who it could be?Whatcha Playin'3:00 - Bayonetta 3 (2022)6:30 - Gundam Evolution (2022)14:00 - Wavetale (2022)21:25 - Live A Live (2022)29:45 - Crisis Core Reunion (2022)41:30 - Yakuza 0 (2017)Variety Minute54:30 - JRPGs of the PlaystationGame of the Week1:30:00 - Vagrant Story (2001)

2022 is almost over, but wait! There's still DLC to talk about! So let's grab Brendan Hesse for a look at five of our favorite pieces of DLC to launch this year, after which we'll get into the Game Awards, High on Life, Crisis Core: FFVII Reunion, Lil Gator Game, God of War going live-action, and your favorite remasters/remakes of 2022.

In this episode Brogan and Brendan venture into parts unknown!Because Murph was at PAX for so long Brogan recorded another ep with another guest! This time, it's gaming journalist and freelancer Brendan Hesse. In this episode Brendan gives his personal experience and views regarding gaming, RPGs, and most specifically: what he's playing. Xenoblade Chronicles 3, No Man's Sky, and Soul Hackers 2. After, we look into how games transitioned into the third dimension and discuss some essential franchises. Topping it all off, we look at Mega Man Legends for the Sony Playstation!Whatcha Playin'20:45 Soul Hackers 2 (2022)30:15 Xenoblade Chronicles 3 (2022)39:00 No Man's Sky (2016)Variety Minute43:30 Video Game Franchises jumping to 3DGame of the Week1:29:30 Mega Man Legends (1997)

It's time once again to look back on another great year for games and pick our favorites, and this year we're breaking from tradition: Instead of one gargantuan show to mark the end of the year, we're splitting our top 10 across a more digestible two episodes, with this week's show covering entries 10 through 6. But don't fret - we're still going big on these, with a rotating lineup of guest hosts including Brendan Hesse, Steve Guntli, Woody Ciskowski, John Brandon, Anthony Abatte, Jorge Albor, and Tony Wilson. And come back next week, when we'll tear through 5 through 1!

E3 came back! Holy crap! And don't worry, we'll get deep in the weeds about it on this week's show, but first we welcome PNB's Brendan Hesse and take a look at our favorite episodes of Conan O'Brien's Clueless Gamer, which recently took its last gasp. Then it's on to Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, a MASSIVE spate of E3 news, and the save-related memories that defined you.
