Friendships are ended when Ben and Joe forget about Jamison's birthday. But then, friendships are reformed with the healing powers of It Takes Two. Ben regales us with tales of playing more DRAGON QUEST XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition S, for the Nintendo Switch (Now on Xbox Game Pass), Joe played a good indie game, a bad indie game, and accidentally beat Loop Hero before taking a long overdue gaming vacation, and Jamison finally played something. The most complicated video game ever made - 13 Sentinels!

We're back, again. Another month has passed! We reflect on a year of covid before getting back to complaining about the important stuff - where are the video games!? We chat about all sorts of games, as is evident by the two and a half hour run time, but I really can't remember what we discussed. Valheim? Most likely. A little Loop Hero?? Probably. The Witcher 2??? The original Fire Emblem???? I think those also came up. There's only one way to find out though and that's to listen to the entire episode!

Have you heard of Valheim? Jamison has been too busy and miserable to get on the viking hype train but Joe and Ben have become thoroughly addicted to it. We also chat about all things Mario, the remarkably lackluster Nintendo Direct and what in the world Nintendo is even up to, lament the return of Mass Effect, and more!

We're back with our first normal episode of 2021! In it, Ben serenades us with not one but TWO top ten lists. He's got his Best of the Generation and Best of 2020. After all that, we chit chat about some video games such as Joe's latest anime school girl game; 13 Sentinels, Jamison played all of Final Fantasy XV for reasons even he doesn't understand, and more!

It's time to kick of 2021 with the longest single game discussion in human history! Join Joe and Jamison on the odyssey that is the Cyberpunk 2077 review chat. Despite us saying in the intro that this would include PS5 launch games being discussed, that is false. It's just Cyberpunk. Nothing but Cyberpunk. 4 HOURS OF CYBERPUNK CHAT - oh god.
00:00:00 Intro
00:02:05 The launch disaster, bugs, PC version
00:34:22 Night City is amazing
01:14:45 But it lacks interactivity
01:27:20 Early hours are brutal & nothing is explained
01:37:00 Gameplay systems are fun but unbalanced
01:58:40 It's like Fallout in structure & it's messy
02:20:45 The first 15 hours feel missing
02:28:49 RPG and various gameplay thoughts
02:50:00 The language of Cyberpunk
02:57:12 Story Stuff!
03:18:38 Side quest spoiler tangent
03:20:25 Story stuff continues
03:30:05 Concluding thoughts
03:50:36 Ok actual conclusion
03:55:43 Well... bye then

The next generation is here! We did it everyone, we survived 2020 long enough to see the release of these new consoles and unsurprisingly that occupies pretty much the entire duration of this episode. PS5 and Xbox Series X, the consoles themselves, the controllers, the games - we go over it all!

Video game season is nearly upon us. We spend the first half of this episode covering all the crazy gaming news that has happened in the last month, tell tales of buying new graphics cards, then fight over which roguelite or like or whatever is better - Risk of Rain 2 or Hades, and more!
