Monday Feb 14, 2022
Monday Feb 14, 2022
It's our 4th (?!) annual Best of the Rest Awards! Every year, Ben, Joe and Jamison take some time to give some time to the games of yesteryear that may not have had their moment to shine, so what better time to go over that, than halfway through February! We've compiled seven categories to award games for their feats in Cooperative play, Boss Fights, Introductory Hour, and more! But before we begin the awards, Ben graces us with his Top 10 Games of 2021! What were your favourite titles of the last year? Sound off in the comments below!

The One About Halo Infinite and Battlefield 2042
Wednesday Jan 26, 2022
Wednesday Jan 26, 2022
Well. We spent the last year talking about the build up of these two games SO MUCH, that those discussions would probably account for 40% of our show over the last year. So, what better way to commemorate that love, than to honour those two games with their own episode. Here's our discussion, once-but-not-for-all, on Halo Infinite and Battlefield 2042. We recorded this early January, after much time to stew. What's your final take on these two games? Let us know!

We've all played the Outer Wilds expansion Echoes of the Eye and get into (albeit light) spoiler territory from 10:00 to 38:00. Then, Ben has played a great many games from Into the Pit, Metroid Dread, and not one, but TWO(!!) JRPGs (Scarlet Nexus and Tales of Arise), we've all played varying amounts of Inscryption, and Jamison is snacking on smaller games like Artful Escape and Sable. To wrap up we chat at length about Battlefield 2042 and... you guessed it, Halo Infinite! Again!

We talk about Halo Infinite again and recap the Playstation showcase. Then we get into some stuff we've played; Pyschonauts 2, Tales of Aries' demo, Joe somewhat deciphered what Terraria is, and then... well... we spend the last 50 minutes of the show talking about 12 Minutes and how no one should ever play it. Content warning for discussions about a game that contains home invasions, domestic abuse, and incest. I'm warning you now because 12 Minutes sure didn't. DO NOT PLAY IT!!

We finally wrangled the boys and recorded for way too long! Enjoy 20+ minutes of us going down memory lane by browsing our files and folders, which is just tremendous radio content. Then we've got thoughts on the Not-E3 happenings so far, including the Horizon State of Play and Battlefield 2042 reveal, yelling about people yelling about cross gen games, and hopes for the upcoming shows of "E3". Then we finally get to a few games we've played, like more Dragon Quest 11, some of that new Subnautica, and Griftlands!
