    The Rehearsal finale is discussed, lauded, and wholly enjoyed by the hosts.

  2. 136: The Fielder Method

    The Rehearsal Season 2 ups the ante while still saying true to the original format. But what IS the joke?

  3. 135: Todd Howard Presents Jeff Bezos' Fallout Available Now on Prime

    NOTE: Jon's end of the conversation has atrocious audio quality for reasons only known to the audio gods. Jon and Ben discuss how Amazon's Fallout show nearly perfectly threads the needle regarding a notoriously hard-to-nail tone of the games.

  4. 134: Armored Core in High Fidelity

    Ben and Jon avoid re-litigating the rote marketing exercise of Starfield and focus on the new Armored Core and the increasingly diminishing returns of fidelity in new games.

    Todd Howard and company are at it again but this time INNNNNN SPAAAAAAAAACE.

  7. 131: Succession x Barry Check-In

    Ben and Jon check-in at the halfway-ish mark on both Succession and Barry. How much misery can either of them handle?

  8. 130: In Praise of Andor

    Andor trades lightsabers and rote space battles for a grounded examination of authoritarianism and that decision has made it the best Star Wars project in decades.

  9. 129: Swabbing the Steam Deck

    Note: This episode was recorded late in 2022 but Jon just got around to editing it. Enjoy! Jon and Ben discuss the Steam Deck's incredible potential and the demise of Stadia.

  10. 128: Discussing The Rehearsal

    Nathan Fielder's and HBO's The Rehearsal examines artifice, reality television, and our expectations of the media we consume. It's all fodder for a great discussion between hosts Jon and Ben, who nailed it all in one take. Or did they?

  11. 127: Gerstmann Unleashed

    Jeff Gerstmann leaves Giant Bomb, Disney still owns everything, No Man's Sky holds up, and GTA VI is infuriating capital G gamers.

    Elden Ring's mysteries are laid bare as the hosts plumb the depths of From's most accessible, widely known, and impeccably-designed open world title.

  13. 125: Try Elden But Ring

    Ben and Jon discuss their soulsborne backgrounds how it shaped their experiences with From Software's Elden Ring.

  14. 124: A Tale of Two Matrices

    Ben and Jon dig into their experiences with both the original Matrix and the latest entry into the series.

  15. 123: Corp War Now

    This episode went off the rails at the end due to copious Suntory whiskey imbibing, but it was all in service to our diehard fans. The image of corp war soldiers wearing Mickey Mouse Ears while firing lasguns will forever be etched into my mind. -Jon Relevant show links: Peter Molyneux's gross...

    Ben revisits the Normandy while Jon click-click-clicks through Path of Exile. Ubisoft is taking Assassins Creed live. We kick the door in on Blizzard's Cosby Suite.

  18. 120: Late-Stage Patreon

    We finally record face-to-face after over a year. Giant Bomb has split up. Jon has strangely realistic dreams. Ben loves video essays about Dark Forces.

  19. 119: Disco Elysium

    Jon and Ben flex their art cop credentials while discussing the case of Disco Elysium.

  20. 118: Serpent Stew

    Jon's side of the recording was garbled by errant radio signals, so the quality on his side isn't great. Listen at your own peril. Valheim on Steam

    Jon feels burned by CD Projekt Red while Ben stalks targets through beautiful vineyards. VR and its applications are discussed.
