It's the Comedy Button 2024 Special, baby! We're back for ONE NIGHT ONLY to infect your ears with a surprise funsies episode. Brian reminisces about clotheslining his siblings into angular furniture, Max makes a very special deposit at the bank, Ryan picks up some healthier hobbies, and Scott discovers his next career as a professional accordionist. Starring Brian Altano, Scott Bromley, Ryan Scott, and Max Scoville.
BRAP BRAP! What's going on, Internet? Oh boy, do we have a story -- it's about a nonsense podcast that has run for nearly the length of a full U.S. primary education (with, come to think of it, pretty equivalent educational standards and pay for the teachers). But now, it is the proverbial graduation ceremony, which means it's time to get day-drunk on hobo liquor one last time with your favorite goofball hosts in this three-hour spectacular. Before we put the button back in cold storage, we get up to the usual stupid shenanigans, reflect on the last 11.5 years, answer a few final listener questions, and hear from our significant others (and yes, someone cries). From the entire Comedy Button cast to everyone who has supported this silly endeavor of ours: Thank you. Starring Brian Altano, Scott Bromley, Anthony Gallegos, Ryan Scott, Max Scoville, and Kristin Van De Yar, with special appearances from Theresa Altano, Stacey Bromley, and Jenn Scoville.
Gadzooks! After more than 11 years of this nonsense horseplay, we're finally putting the ol' button back under the protective glass and pretending to go about our lives as well-respected adults who have it all figured out. Yes, the Comedy Button is coming to a close with episode 551, coming to you at the end of February. We've got all the details right here in this mini-episode, so if you don't want to go through life confused and bewildered about why your usual Friday podcast stopped appearing on the Zune Marketplace or wherever these things go now, give it a listen! Sincerely from your pals, Brian Altano, Scott Bromley, Ryan Scott, Max Scoville, and Kristin Van De Yar.
Kristin declares war on caramel, Ryan tells us about the time he almost died from eating Swedish Fish, Avatar: The Way of Water was apparently just stunningly OK, and our pal Jenn crashes the show to taste-test Valentine's Day candy and participate in perhaps the stupidest anatomical discussion that any human beings have ever had. Starring Brian Altano, Scott Bromley, Ryan Scott, Max Scoville, and Kristin Van De Yar, with special guest Jenn Scoville.
We talk to Scott Johnson, Trisha Hershberger, and Max Scoville about games as a subscription service. Does it work well, is it a legitimate alternative to buying games for serious gamers, how do the different services compare to each other, and will this be how we access games in the future? Starring Tom Merritt, Scott Johnson, Trisha Hershberger, Max ScovilleShow notes are here!

We manage to introduce the show three different times thanks to the dumb Internet turning off. In part 1, Kristin tells us about her new acting career. Then in part 2, after we lose Kristin, we get lost on some tangent about bumper stickers. Finally, in the epic conclusion, Kristin makes her surprise return and we learn about TikTok haircut culture, hear about a motel that Harry Styles might have banged out in, and go on a wild 1990s movie marathon. Starring Brian Altano, Scott Bromley, Ryan Scott, Max Scoville, and Kristin Van De Yar.
Ryan blows no one's mind with Laff-A-Lympics lore, we learn all about the thin and colorful lines that dumb people put on flags, we do our annual check-in on terrible candy, and we still have that dream about eating a cheese pizza in an airport limo. Starring Brian Altano, Scott Bromley, Ryan Scott, and Max Scoville.
Kristin shares her birthday plans, we learn George Jetson facts, Ryan gets UM ACTUALLY'd, and we learn about all the times Kristin laughed at some dumb stuff. Starring Brian Altano, Scott Bromley, Ryan Scott, Max Scoville, and Kristin Van De Yar.
We learn about Pilates, revisit some of the worst sounds on this show, share some George Washington facts, reveal our most-desired cartoon injuries, and offer up some parenting advice. Starring Brian Altano, Scott Bromley, Ryan Scott, Max Scoville, and Kristin Van De Yar.
The original Witcher game is 15 years old, and recently CD Projekt Red has announced that it will be getting a complete open-world remake! In this episode of Podcast Beyond, Max Scoville, Jada Griffin, and Colin Stevens talk about other games they think would benefit from open-world remakes as well. Also, we take a look at some hilarious Platinum-farming shovelware that requires you to... stroke a turtle? Yeah, we're as confused as you are. Wait till you see Italian Journey! You won't believe what kind of games have managed to make it into the PlayStation Store. Finally, Max comes to a realization that Bloodborne is like parenting? Utter madness.Â
Ryan attempts to turn this into an ASMR podcast (with horrifying results), Max has a Tim Dolphin update, Scott loves him some Tay Sway, and we collectively discover the dumbest bears, the worst Etsy listings, and the pitfalls of Mystery Inc's business structure, in some of the worst radio we could possibly muster. Starring Brian Altano, Scott Bromley, Ryan Scott, Max Scoville, and Kristin Van De Yar.
Kristin tells us about her haunted private school, Max is the new hype man for upcoming YouTube star Tim Dolphin (be sure to stick around after the episode for a brief clip), Ryan is somehow starting to feel better about life, and we declare Renaissance Faire to actually be Renaissance Convention. Starring Brian Altano, Ryan Scott, Max Scoville, and Kristin Van De Yar. (And here's a convenient link to that Tim Dolphin song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nv1ZK6fmjfc)
A recent financial report revealed that PlayStation Plus has lost a few million subscribers since June. Is this a sign of the end times? Should Sony worry? Is this Game Pass's fault? It's complicated! But we have our theories. Aside from that, we're talking about how Call of Duty Modern Warfare II's record-breaking sales on PlayStation might never reach the same heights, playing another round of Pollstation Plus - and discussing how Crash Bandicoot, literal mascot for the PS1, is now an Xbox property, plus (no pun intended) new PlayStation Plus games for November as well as some news about EA inking a ten-year deal with Marvel to make games… We've got a bad feeling about this. This week's Beyond is Max Scoville, Jada Griffin, Josh Du, and Akeem Lawanson.
This week, we've all been playing one of the most anticipated PlayStation games of the year: God of War Ragnarok. If you've got questions, we've got answers - don't worry, they're spoiler free. Meanwhile, Brian got to take Capcom's upcoming Resident Evil 4 Remake for a spin, and dozens of full playthroughs of the original RE4, there were lots of surprises in store. Much has been said about Gotham Knights' lack of Batman, but what about its lack of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Halloween is around the corner, so let's discuss horror games - or rather, what makes a horror game? Amidst all this very serious discourse, we also found time to have some fun. Let's spin the wheel and see what genre the next God of War reboot will be - and then give our best elevator pitch for it. Plus, hundreds of you answered our poll and now we have to see how well we know YOU, our audience. What kind of animal do you think Crash Bandicoot is? What American city should get the Grand Theft Auto treatment that hasn't already? You know, assuming you forgot two thirds of GTA: San Andreas? This week's Beyond is Max Scoville, Brian Altano, Jada Griffin, and Josh Du.00:00:10 - Intro00:02:38 - Resident Evil 4 Remake Impressions00:19:53 - What Makes a Horror Game a Horror Game?00:27:28 - Gotham Knights is a Better TMNT Game Than a Batman Game00:36:19 - PollStation Plus00:48:50 - Your God of War: Ragnarok Questions Answered!01:09:15 - Pitching the Next God of War Reboot & Outro
We bring you up-to-date on stupid candy just in time for Halloween, investigate where all the hotel bibles went, recount the Estevez brothers' many stupid ideas in life, and warmly reminisce about John Leguizamo's best movie. Starring Brian Altano, Ryan Scott, and Max Scoville.
We learn too much about America's Funniest Home Videos, reveal what we would do if we were talking dogs, figure out where the porn gets filmed, debate this year's this year's Halloween costumes, and recall our fondest food poisoning memories. Starring Brian Altano, Scott Bromley, Ryan Scott, and Max Scoville.
We talk about Waterworld more than anyone ever has, Brian nearly kidnaps a child by mistake, we ask too many questions about X-Men bathroom habits, and Kristin tells us about the world's most horrifying jewelry. Starring Brian Altano, Scott Bromley, Ryan Scott, Max Scoville, and Kristin Van De Yar.

We go through Backblaze's 2022 Drive Stats Mid-year Review to see which did better in terms of longevity and reliability; SSDs or HDD.

Kristin goes to Medieval Times and Disneyland, Brian and Max go to Germany, Scott goes to Michigan through a newspaper, and Ryan talks less than he ever has in the history of this show. Starring Brian Altano, Scott Bromley, Max Scoville, and Kristin Van De Yar.
Scott reports on his latest big dumb trip to Michigan, we learn way too much about fancy ice cream coffee desserts, Max holds a problematic film festival for himself, and Ryan discusses the oeuvre of Andy Sidaris. Starring Brian Altano, Scott Bromley, Ryan Scott, Max Scoville, and Kristin Van De Yar.
We dunk on Scott since he's not here, and then Brian and Max tell us all about their stupid and terrible San Diego Comic-Con COVID-19 adventure. Three down, two to go! Starring Brian Altano, Ryan Scott, Max Scoville, and Kristin Van De Yar.
Kristin is the first of us to go on a big COVID adventure, Brian remembers all of New Jersey's weird laws, and we get a bunch of movies with the same title mixed up. Starring Brian Altano, Scott Bromley, Ryan Scott, Max Scoville, and Kristin Van De Yar.
The Comedy Button curse strikes Great America! But we don't care, because half of us went on some really dumb vacations, and Brian learned that even homes in haunted swamps are unaffordable. Starring Brian Altano, Scott Bromley, Ryan Scott, and Max Scoville.
This week on one of IGN's most popular PlayStation shows, bumbling substitute host Max Scoville is joined by rowdy Italian Brian Altano and award-winning journalist Matt Kim. Full disclosure: we initially planned this week's episode to be a live God of War Ragnarok State of Play post-show, but we still hadn't heard anything so that got scrapped last minute. Bear with us as we goof around and discuss this week's PlayStation-adjacent news, such as a leaked Skull & Bones release date, the Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West Netflix show's leaked title (“Horizon 2074”) and news that FromSoftware's next unannounced game is in final stages of development. Is it Armored Core 6? Very possibly, but how do you make an Armored Core game in a post-Dark Souls gaming landscape? PlayStation Plus games for july have been revealed, along with some hot new musical additions to the official PlayStation Plus Spotify playlist that we learned is a thing A former Days Gone director announced his next project, Ashfall, which sounds cool until you get to the part about NFTs. A new law in Quebec requiring immigrants to learn French to access government services, which might cause problems for the many Montreal-based video game studios' efforts to recruit new talent. None of us can speak French very well, but we try. Plus, we chatted a little about Plague Tale: Requiem, which is coming to PS5 later this year, and Neon White, which isn't announced for any PlayStation devices, but Matt wanted to talk about it so don't blame me.

This week on the number one PlayStation Podcast produced by IGN, join substitute host Max Scoville, Jada Griffin, and Matt Kim as they discuss the latest goings-on including (but not limited to) job listings posted by Sucker Punch that suggest the studio might be making an open-world game with stealth and melee combat. So, Ghost of Tsushima 2? Or Ghost of some other Japanese island? Or hey, maybe it's Sly Cooper. We can dream. We also have some new details on Final Fantasy 16, which will not be an open-world game or too similar to Final Fantasy 14, but it sounds cool nonetheless. The Birdman himself revealed that Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and 4 almost got remakes, but apparently those got scrapped. Meanwhile, PlayStation is skipping Gamescom, YouTuber DIYperks made his own PS5 Slim, and Creative Assembly's new game Hyenas sounds pretty cool. Plus, we talk about Ape Escape and Metal Gear Solid 3 and Dragon's Dogma, which Max is still very excited about.
On this week's episode of IGN's PlayStation show, host Jonathon Dornbush is joined by Max Scoville and, for her final episode as a cast member, Lucy O'Brien, to discuss all the news in the world of PlayStation. The panel begins by jumping into the recent Final Fantasy news, including confirmation of FF7 Remake Part 2 being Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, a Crisis Core remake, and where to start if you're looking to get into Final Fantasy. Then, the panel discusses a bit about the confirmation of Dragon's Dogma 2, and why Max is really excited to revisit the franchise. The panel then dives into a few PlayStation first-party topics, including the wild rumors about God of War Ragnarok delays, the reports about God of War Ragnarok's potential alleged release date, and why we're OK not hearing too much about the sequel so far. Next, we dip into some impressions about the new PlayStation Plus, its offerings, and our hopes for its future, and then we discuss The Last of Us remake, also known as The Last of Us Part 1, and our interest in Naughty Dog's future with the franchise. We also discuss some of the games we're playing, including Max's surprising interest in Fortnite, before we give a tearful goodbye to Lucy, who we'll miss dearly and are so grateful for her many wonderful years on the show. Timecode: 00:00:00 - Intro 00:01:50 - 2 More Final Fantasy Games Revealed! 00:11:52 - Dragon's Dogma 2 is Coming! 00:18:35 - The Mystery of God of War Ragnarok 00:27:42 - PS Plus News 00:42:39 - The Last of Us: Part I Remake Revealed 00:54:15 - What We're Playing! 01:01:16 - Goodbye Lucy!
Evidently there are thumb truthers who believe that we only have eight fingers, so, that's a thing. Kristin also gets to tell us all about her trip to Spain, but not before Ryan derails the podcast for 15 minutes to dorksplain the country's most accomplished tennis player. Starring Brian Altano, Scott Bromley, Ryan Scott, Max Scoville, and Kristin Van De Yar.
On this week's episode of IGN's weekly PlayStation show, Podcast Beyond!, host Jonathon Dornbush is joined by Brian Altano, Max Scoville, and Jada Griffin to break down the June State of Play live, immediately after it aired. The group digs into all the big reveals from the show, what we loved most, what surprised us, and how we think the State of Play stacked up to past ones. We discuss the thrill of Resident Evil 4, Street Fighter 6, and Final Fantasy XVI being announced or showcased. Then, we dig into some of the PS VR 2 reveals, like a better like at Horizon Call of the Mountain, Resident Evil 8, and more. Plus, we take a look at the lineup of awesome indies like Stray, Season, and Rollerdrome coming in the next few months, while also covering everything else we saw at the showcase. (This episode was filmed live right after the State of Play, and had to be cut down due to some live show hiccups, so apologizes for any skips in the audio you hear!)
We talk about all the Stranger Things, remember Paramount's old theme parks, catch up with a very fake Jonathan Taylor Thomas, imagine how many porno pizzas get delivered in New York, and discover some fake shared memories about the giant cartoon checks they used to hand out on TV. Starring Brian Altano, Scott Bromley, Ryan Scott, and Max Scoville.
Max Scoville, another friend/host/podcaster from IGN, joins Michael and Adam to discuss the hopeful hit of 2020, Cyberpunk 2077. Months after the game's launch, which was sensationalized by its bugs and recalls, can we look at the game with more objective eyes or will it never recover, kid? Well, Samurai, eavesdrop on whether or not this game was worth its decade-long development. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
We find another alternate Ryan Scott, discover Facebook's fake Brian Altano, weigh the use of ROFL in 2022, come up with some fun stuff to do in San Francisco (wrong answers only), and reveal our personal Hobbit tier lists. Starring Brian Altano, Scott Bromley, Ryan Scott, Max Scoville, and Kristin Van De Yar.
On this week's episode of IGN's PlayStation podcast, Podcast Beyond!, host Jonathon Dornbush is joined by Jada Griffin, Brain Altano, and Max Scoville to cover all the latest and greatest in the world of PlayStation. And this week, they're jumping into the newly revealed new PlayStation Plus games lineup, or at least, the partial PS Plus games lineup Sony revealed ahead of the subscription service's revamped launch in the coming weeks. The panel digs into what games have been confirmed so far from the PS5, PS4, PS3, PS2, and PS1 games library, discuss some of the surprisingly good choices, the games we hope are still planned to be included, and some of the good and odd choices for remasters and remakes versus original releases across the PlayStation generations. We also dig into some of PS Plus' surprising benefits, like these older generations allowing for original purchases of old PlayStation and PSP games to be downloaded even if you don't subscribe to the new PS Plus. Plus more discussion on Game Trials, our general new PS Plus expectations and games lineup hopes, and much more. Will we have time for more PlayStation news of the week? Who knows! But we attempt to cover more, including the potential return of Silent Hill, and we also have Brian and Max offer some of their predictions for what's to come from any potential PlayStation summer showcase, a Trophy Test, and much more.

After a super-serious intro (not really), we rank the best ghost-hunting shows, learn about midwifery, listen to Kristin's pitch for a dating show, and run down some unfortunate college acronyms. Starring Brian Altano, Scott Bromley, Ryan Scott, Max Scoville, and Kristin Van De Yar.
Kristin encounters a public porn-watcher and takes in some drunk Shakespeare, Brian joins the Stein Society, half the cast gets onboard with ad hoc parenting, and we answer a bunch of rapid-fire questions. Starring Brian Altano, Scott Bromley, Ryan Scott, Max Scoville, and Kristin Van De Yar.
Winamp still whips the llama's ass, the Great Gatsby is still pretty good, Willy Wonka is still very weird, and and Jared Leto still sucks. Starring Brian Altano, Scott Bromley, Ryan Scott, and Max Scoville.
We do some Urban Dictionary deep-dives, celebrate the oeuvre of Nicolas Cage, share some cool tricks to avoid working, and get a visit from the Brain Cops. Starring Brian Altano, Ryan Scott, Max Scoville, and Kristin Van De Yar.
GameSpot's biggest Yakuza fans, Michael Higham, Jean-Luc Seipke, and Ben Janca, are joined by IGN's Max Scoville to talk full spoilers about one of the best games of 2020, Yakuza: Like A Dragon.
