Episodes

  1. Before Your Eyes ~ GGC #67

    Without spoiling too much, this one made Nick cry. And he knew he was crying, because Before Your Eyes uses your own webcam to make blinking the primary gameplay input. Pretty rad eh? Let's see what @leafeator and @adventnick think about that one. patreon.com/cybergarbage

  2. Adios ~ GGC #66

    And here you were thinking we took the podcast out behind the farm to put it out of it's misery. Nope. You're still here, we are too. So let's talk about games. Like Adios! @leafeator // @adventnick

  3. We Were Here ~ GGC #65

    MORE. CO. OPER. ATION. Woooooo. The first in a four part co-op series, We Were Here has some modest game jam binging's. But are the ideas of this asynchronous co-op even close to living up to the hype of something as epic as It Takes Two (or other co-op juggernauts?) @leafeator // @adventnick

  4. It Takes Two ~ GGC #64

    Co-op games are one of Joey's favorite sub genera, and there is nothing better than playing a tailor made two person experience with one of your best friends. Will the boys come out of this with a stronger relationship and marriage. @leafeator // @adventnick

  5. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past ~ GGC #63

    SNES is coming back around as one of (if not the) most heralded Zelda game gets re-visted by Nick and finally finished by Joey. Do they like 2D over 3D Zelda? Is this the best 2D zelda? How is playing on an SNES in 2021? @leafeator // @adventnick

  6. Yoku's Island Express ~ GGC #62

    Metroid, Pinball, Bugs. All things that Joey likes, mostly things that Nick likes. Does Yoku stand as one of the best metroidvania games that you don't have on your radar? Let's roll the dung around and find out for ya. @leafeator // @adventnick

  7. Carto ~ GGC #61

    Watch out, if you're not careful we will shift this podcast and move it right out from under you. Just like how we solve our puzzles in Carto, let's us shift and rotate your perspective on this switch hit. @leafeator // @adventnick

  8. Ghostrunner ~ GGC #60

    Cyberpunk. Swords. Speedrunning. I like these things, but when we package them all up into an indie Ghostrunner - do they fit together and make my brain sparkle a la Mirror's Edge? @leafeator // @adventnick

  9. Red Dead Redemption 2 ~ GGC #59

    Fun fact: Joey hates horses (and movies) so Nick is tackling this old west one a little solo, because he simply could not - not talk to you about it. @leafeator // @adventnick

  10. Bowser's Fury ~ GGC #57

    Bowser's Fury, the free addon to the new Super 3D Mario World Switch release is something new and nifty from Nintendo. Free content? New design? A surprise? Is this the path forward for the big N? @leafeator // @adventnick

  11. Hitman 3 ~ GGC #56

    We're back to round out the Hitman revitalization trio with Hitman 3. Love me some IOI and we'll see if the new maps are the best maps, and if the switch to the Epic Game Store was worth it! @leafeator // @adventnick

  12. Chrono Trigger ~ GGC #55

    Nick's favorite game of All Time. ALL TIME. Joey has finally sat down to play and to see if it makes it on his own personal "best of." Trio attack time. @leafeator // @adventnick

  13. Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time ~ GGC #52

    It's about time! It's been a min since we've had a new Crash game, but was waiting for this Sony monolith to be reborn, worth? @leafeator // @adventnick

  14. Astro's Playroom ~ GGC #51

    The PS5 is HERE and next gen is coming hot and heavy. Astro's Playroom is free and loaded onto your PS5 so you have something to experiment with while downloading Demon Souls. It shows off Play Station memory lane, while managing to be a cute platformer, and introduce people to the DualSense. But...

  15. Dicey Dungeon ~ GGC #50

    For our 50th anniversary we bring you...a mobile game? Dicey Dungeon is a rogue-like/light/whatever that started it's life as an App. Instead of complications coming from the die or the cards, it comes in the form of unique character mechanics and increasing difficulty. @leafeator // @adventnick

  16. Monster Train ~ GGC #49

    We're going to Hell! Rogue like card game Hell! Does monster train do the same things to Joey's brain that Slay the Spire does? @leafeator // @adventnick

  17. Bug Fables ~ GGC #48

    It's Paper Mario, but instead of Mario it's BUGS. And instead of Nintendo, it's Kickstarter? Bug fables is a spiritual successor to the old (read: good) Paper Mario games. But is it worth your time as a diehard TTYD fan? @leafeator @adventnick

  18. Hades ~ GGC #47

    Supergiant is back and Hades is out of early-access. Nick's first ever IGN review makes it's way to Garbage Game Club. Spoiler, he gave it a 9/10. But here we get to dive into what the boys adore about Hades, in a bit longer than an IGN video. @leafeator // @adventnick

  19. Super Mario Galaxy ~ GGC #45

    MARIO MANIA, Part 3. From Gamecube, to Wii, the boys wiggle and waggle their joycons to collect all the starbits and explore the Galaxy with Mario. Often laureled as one of the best platformers ever made, how does Galaxy hold up to a re-play? @leafeator // @adventnick

  20. Super Mario Sunshine ~ GGC #44

    MARIO MANIA continues, as we shift from the N64 to the Gamecube to strap on Flood and play on the island that is Super Mario Sunshine. Joey, before this collection re-play, would have claimed Sunshine as his favorite, while Nick is skeptical. Will the fond childhood memories stay true? @leafeator...

  21. Super Mario 64 ~ GGC #43

    1996. Joey is 3. Nick is 4 (he's old) and neither of them were properly playing Super Mario 64. Now 24 years removed the boys find themselves playing for the third/fourth time as a part of MARIO MANI via the Super Mario 3D collection on Switch. @leafeator // @adventnick

  22. To The Moon ~ GGC #42

    Scrub in with Nick and Joey as they role play doctors traveling back in time and inceptioning themselves into memories of an old man. To The Moon is an RPG Maker game that the stream charts (and well, a lot of people) loved! Now that they finally got around to it, I wonder how the boys feel?...

  23. Cave Story ~ GGC #41

    The first true indie game that made the internet light up. One can say that Cave Story is a monolith of it's time, and started a revolution. Nick has known that for years, playing many iterations of the game, while Joey...well...this one is for him. @leafeator @adventnick

  24. Darkest Dungeon ~ GGC #40

    In time, you will know the tragic extent of my failings... Nick and Joey pack up their gear and head into the dungeon. The darkest dungeon. Will they come out the other side in one piece, or will a party member fall? @leafeator @adventnick

  25. Paper Mario: The Origami King ~ GGC #39

    Paper Mario The Origami King is here, but is this more like Thousand Year Door, or Sticker Star. Please, please, please be the former. Please nintendo @Leafeator @adeventnick

  26. Ghost of Tsushima ~ GGC #38

    Joey really liked Infamous, so Sucker Punch might have him by the sword here with Ghosts. This third person, open world, shogun combat, RPG, adventure seems like it may just be "an average 2020 AAA game" but...is it? @leafeator @adventnick

  27. The Last of Us Part 2 ~ GGC #37

    Naughty Dog, Joel, and Ellie are back. Will Joey and Nick take to Joel and Ellie once again, or is TLOU:2 not up to snuff in 2020? @leafeator @adventnick

  28. Half Life: Alyx ~ GGC #36

    The Index has arrived, and the boys strapped into VR for their firs true big adventure. AND, HELLO, A NEW HALF LIFE GAME! I mean, how could Joey not be bias? @leafeator @adventnick

  29. Event[0] ~ GGC #35

    Event Zero is a first person science fiction exploration game from 2016. I had to look at the steam page for help writing that. But you should take a look into this unique adventure if you like it even a fraction as much as the boys do! Follow us! @leafeator // @adventnick patreon.com/cybergarbage

  30. Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair ~ GGC #34

    Hoping back on the Yooka train to finish off this two part series. Playtonic's second game, Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair, is an ode to Donkey Kong Country SNES. Do the boys like it more, or less than Yooka prime? Follow us! @leafeator // @adventnick patreon.com/cybergarbage

  31. Yooka Laylee ~ GGC #33

    Joey loves banjo. Joey loves rare. Joey kickstarted Yooka and played it on release. Nick finally hopped in, and does he have the same character platformer joy that Joey does?

  32. Shovel Knight ~ GGC #32

    The NES comes alive in 2020 on basically any platform you like. One of indie gaming's most prized possessions. Joey, shamefully, has never played. Until now! Follow us: @leafeator // @adventnick Patreon.com/cybergarbage

  33. Baba is you ~ GGC #31

    Baba is you. Podcast is baba. Podcast is good. Joey and Nick is cool. Is this 2019's most interesting game? Is it one of the best puzzle games ever? Is that revealing the podcast without listening to it? No plz listen. Follow us: @leafeator // @adventnick Patreon.com/cybergarbage

  34. Florence ~ GGC #30

    A mobile game that takes the boys into the world of a woman's story. Less game, more interactive book? A light game? A game? Nick and Joey decide. Follow us: @leafeator // @adventnick patreon.com/cybergarbage

  35. Gorogoa~ GGC #29

    An award winning puzzle game. And you might know how Joey feels about puzzle games by now. The boys finally get around to this art indie darling! Follow us: @leafeator // @adventnick patreon.com/cybergarbage

  36. Final Fantasy 7 Remake~ GGC #28

    It's Joey's FIRST FINAL FANTASY GAME! But it's the 7th game. Remade? Regardless, Nick is excited to get Joey to finally play one of his all time favorites. Follow us: @leafeator // @adventnick patreon.com/cybergarbage

  37. Hitman 2 ~ GGC #27

    Agent Garbage Game Club? The target is Hitman and Hitman 2. The ioi interactive titles that breathed new life into the series. Are you ready for the mission? Good luck. Follow us: @leafeator // @adventnick patreon.com/cybergarbage

  38. Hyper Light Drifter ~ GGC #26

    Joey and Nick get dropped into the world of HLD and have to find their way out. With slashes. And dashes. and BULLETS. Collect all the purple duritos! Follow us: @leafeator // @adventnick patreon.com/cybergarbage

  39. Pokemon Sword & Shield ~ GGC #25

    Pokemon is here! On the Switch! The newest generational take on one of Joey & Nick's favorite game series. What's not to love? Or is there trouble in this romance? @leafeator // @adventnick

  40. Crayola Scoot ~ GGC #24

    Note that this was an April 1st episode, but god damnit who doesn't want to try Crayola Scoot? It's like Tony Hawk and Splatoon had a baby. I know you sound interested in that. @leafeator // @adventnick

  41. Nier ~ GGC #22

    A Nick solo adventure, as he tackles all of his feelings for Nier. Joey, uhh, died? @leafeator // @adventnick

  42. Hotline Miami ~ GGC #21

    Turn it up to 11 and get your beach bod ready, we're headed to Miami. A classic indie revisited. Will Joey like it in 2020 as much as Nick did in 2012? @leafeator // @adventnick

  43. Snake Pass ~ GGC #20

    What if you reinvented a platformer, and took away jumping? Well, then you should probably just check out Snake Pass because they did it. But do the boys think it's worth your time? @leafeator // @adventnick

  44. Luigi's Mansion 3 ~ GGC #19

    Well, it's more of a hotel this time to be fair. Does the Gamecube cult classic staring the green brother come back onto the switch and snag a win? @leafeator // @adventnick

  45. Slay the Spire ~ GGC #18

    A rogue like deck building game that has taken the switch, and steam, by storm! @leafeator // @adventnick

  46. The Outer Worlds ~ GGC #17

    We finally finished (which is embarrassing, turns out this game isn't really that long eh). Is Outer Worlds another New Vegas style classic? Or was this formula best left in the Fallout 3 days? Nick and Joey are here to break down this big boy of an adventure game. [Persuasion 90]...

  47. Death Stranding ~ GGC#16

    A podcast by Hideo Kojima.

  48. Sayonara Wild Hearts ~ GGC #15

    Put your headphones in and crank it up to 11 as the boys look at a bangin' indie music adventure! patreon.com/cybergarbage @leafeator @adventnick

  49. Bad North ~ GGC #14

    Bad North is a mobile and switch friendly RTS. If you would have told a younger me those words, I would have turned up my nose and talked about what an absolutely abhorrent idea that is. Spoiler, I don't feel that way about Bad North. patreon.com/cybergarbage twitter.com/leafeator...

  50. Control ~ GGC # 13

    WARNING! This game may spook you. Also it may make you a little sad that NICK DIDN'T TURN HIS MICROPHONE ON SO THE AUDIO IS KINDA BAD I KNOW AND I FEEL BAD BECAUSE I AM BAD. SORRY. The boys FINALLY play Control. Will it forever be a cult classic like Max Payne? Are AA games a real thing still in...
