The FUNCAST 059: What A Season, What A Season
Another year has gone missing, and the Fungineer gang is on the case! We go over the whole first half of 2023 in Video Games to see what we remember.

The FUNCAST 058: The Keighley Machine Is Awake Again
It's TGA Season, the most important holiday season of the year! What will take home the coveted prize of Best E-Sports Event? Which giant company will win for Best Indie Game? Can there only be one winner of Best Game Direction? What the hell even is an Action Adventure game in 2023? All these...
-
The FUNCAST 057: Wise Fwom Your Gwave
The spooky season means an unholy return to life! It's a good thing that nothing happened, and no new video games came out in the summer months everyone got busy with life stuff in. What's that? Way too many video games came out? Oh. Oh, no. We have a retooled website now! -...
-
The FUNCAST 056: Elephant Man On Shrooms
Nintendo Direct! Announced the night before it aired, it turned out to be something of a banger, with games both new and old. Andrew loses himself in the music from a Mario RPG remake, Daniel is very excited about Pikmin 4, and Dean watches the trailer for the new Mario game live! Oh, we also…

The FUNCAST 055: Todd "The Star God" Howard is at it again!
Video Game Announcement Month has commenced, and today we take a look at the incredibly long and incredibly dense Xbox conference! Mostly, because some of it did spill over into the Ubisoft event, and carried forward from the Summer Games Fest show. So really it's only a mostly Xbox/Microsoft...
-
The FUNCAST 054: The Legend of Zelda - Hot Goats Of The Kingdom
Our unplanned break ended up being a great boon, because it gave us, like, two whole weeks to play the new Zelda! We have a lot to say, but for your benefit, we kept it to only 80 minutes, almost entirely focused on things as they are in the world before you do a dungeon. There are some minor...
-
The FUNCAST 053: They May Have Commited Some Light Treason
Nintendo did us a favour by dropping an incredibly dense indie direct on us, so now we have *a lot* to talk about! Cat Games, Farming Games, Weird Puzzle Games, Cool Puzzle Games, Cozy Puzzle Games with Cats, and the Store Brand Jet Set Radio that daddy Sega won't give you. Then it's on to the...
-
The FUNCAST 052: Dredging The IMDB Depths
Welcome to what is a surprisingly Movie And/Or TV Show focused episode of the Funcast. Weird how that worked out, but someone we managed to unearth some truly terrifying horrors from the deep dark. Daniel also played Dredge for a bit, and It's really quite good. No Mario movie, but how about some...
-
The FUNCAST 051: Let the Anime Lady Do Your Taxes
It's the reached the point where putting your social security number into a random piece of software with a Waifu in it seems like not the worst idea. Things that actually seem like bad ideas include: EA delisting a bunch of gold games, Atari buying studios, Asset Packs filled with stolen goods,...
-
The FUNCAST 050: Ultra Realistic Homer Simpson
Its episode fifty! Five Zero! That's kind of a lot, so first up, thanks for listening <3 Second of all, holy cow, we have some news! And by news, we *mostly* mean companies stepping on rakes for our enjoyment(?). Square Enix's president is going to go join his Apes, Starfield has a release date,...
-
The FUNCAST 049: Tim Speaks - The Return
It is happening again. Tim's back! And we've got a bit of a light load of news because of a kinda bland Playstation State of Play, which just means more time to speak about matters of the heart, of both the Atomic and Wild varieties. Tim is going to tell us all about the newest entry in the…
more -
The FUNCAST 048: Nintendo Directly Into My Veins
A long show is the only way to do justice to a frankly incredibly dense Nintendo Direct! Its literally made just for me, with all the hottest hits like Gameboy Games and Baten Kaitos, and I guess Metroid Prime and stuff too. Seriously, it was so much *stuff* that I don't really want to list it…
more -
The FUNCAST 047: I got a love that keeps me waitin'
January is drawing to a close, which means that holy cow, it's time for the news machine to kick off its cobwebs and get to work. Dungeons and Dragons (And Coastal Wizards), Blizzard hoists themselves by their own petard *again*, and Microsoft announced some video games? Huh, yeah they sure did,...
-
The FUNCAST 046: A New Year Of Games Is Ahead, So Lets Talk About More Stuff From Last Year!
It's pretty amazing to be here in an entirely new year, completely unburdened by the past.... except for a bunch of games we played at some point during our seasonal break that all came out last year. Old games, soon to be replaced with new games! Hopefully!! Games Discussed: Infernax, Star Wars:...
-
The FUNCAST 045: Taken By A Fey Mood, We Took Over A Workshop And Made This Podcast
It's the dwarfiest time of the year here at Funcast HQ, and we built an entire gallery to fill with wondrous video games of the future! A whole lot of games have totally real release dates in the totally real year of 2023, at least up until June. After that, I think there are no more games. Which...

The FUNCAST 043: I can't believe the Game Awards doesn't have a category for "Best Podcast Mostly About Video Games That No One Has Heard Of"
It's Awards Season! Which means it's also time for an Exxtra Thicc podcast about all the categories in the upcoming Keighlies. Yes, all the categories. All *five* E-Sports ones, the four or five Indie Game categories that really could be three different ones, the bizarre choices and infuriating...
-
The FUNCAST 042: The Worst Skyrim Mod You Have Ever Seen
We're back! And its a real normal episode! Finally. Greeting us this normal day is a lot of back and forth industry drama, a feast of little guy vs big guys. Old games get working again after a long hiatus, and sequels get really, finally, truly, announced! Andrew brings back his 7/10 gameshow…

A grave misfortune wiped out the first half-ish of the original recording, so enjoy an abbreviated episode! We finally get to talk about how great Yakuza: Like A Dragon is, Dean talks about how not great Gotham Knights is, and a new GamePass GameClub game is chosen, that everyone might have…
more -
The FUNCAST 040: The spookiest thing in this episode somehow isn't Bloober Team
The summoning circles I set up every year finally worked, and out from it emerged Bloober Team, the scariest choice for a remake of Silent Hill 2! The whole rest of the Silent Hill direct was also a surprise, and goes to show that when it comes to compressing and storing content, demonic seals…
more -
The FUNCAST 039: Its A Me, Bizzario!
Tim is out on assignment, and that's ok because Tired Guy Mario is finally off on his adventure in the Tenacious D Kingdom, and all its strange and concerning scenery. That Super Mario Movie trailer shepherded us all the way into a week full of news! A lot of it isn't great, especially if you are…

Also on the docket: News! They still make that stuff, it turns out, and boy howdy Overwatch sure makes a...
-
The FUNCAST 037: Feeling like a Veronica
Jughead opened a portal to the News Dimension and all the video games fell out. Seriously, it's very rude to have a second? Third? E3 in the middle of the week like that. Shame on you Video Games. Nintendo Direct! Sony Thing! TGS! A lot of cool stuff, farming sims, and a God of War. Major GTA 6...
-
The FUNCAST 036: Positive Affirmations
Hey, so first things first: we do talk about that jerk dingus that made a game and turned his patch notes into a portal to hell. We dunk on him pretty good, but if you don't want to hear it, skip from ~8m10s til ~14m40s, and I think you should be good. We got Xbox Controller news! Lighter, Leaner...
-
The FUNCAST 035: Jolyne, Jolyne, Jolyne, Jolyne! Please don't take him just because you can.
It's an anime day! I'd like to give you a real reason, but mostly it's just a coincidence that there is more animated JoJo in the world. And I guess that we also finally did some talking about SCARLET NEXUS, a game that out animes Devil May Cry in its own genre. We even pick a new GamePass…
more -
The FUNCAST 034: Cult of the Twilight Dawn
Another whole week off? Sorry about that, but we were busy getting way into this sweet new family and friend support group out in the woods. The leader is this cute little lamb and life is pretty great honestly, just don't ask where the fertilizer goes or what happened to Ol' Hoss yesterday. Yes,...

Back from a vacation and feeling all recharged and reinvigorated, the Fungineers return! And we are going to need that energy, cause boy the news this week sure is draining. However! We have lots of actually fun things to talk about, like Cults and JRPGs and Fighting Games, and even some…
more -
The FUNCAST 032: There will never be a new game ever again
Welcome back to delay season once again! Much like game announcement season, it never ends. That Gollum game everyone was totally super hyped for? Delayed. KOTOR Remake? Delayed forever. Not great. But you know what is great? Weird videogame carny rumours in Nier Automata, and Rockstar cleaning…
more -
The FUNCAST 031: Super Monkey Maaaaaaan
It's only slightly used and broken, but hey, GameStop had it for a song, so why not pick up a new episode of The Funcast! (seriously though I lost the start of this to audio gremlins, the fumigators should get it sorted out) We've got Marvel SNAPing its way into a bad time, Ubisoft is cancelling...
-
The FUNCAST 030: Very Stupid, Very GameStop
Somehow, NFTs have returned. We don't know why either, but it's great to have some comedy fall into your lap. Unity *also* continues to shoot itself in both feet repeatedly, which is a really unfun mess to have to deal with. Shame on you, we just got that rug! We got some more Steamdeck...
-
The FUNCAST 029: A Firework Miracle
Back together at full strength, and unmatched team of cyber warriors has crossed the barrier between the digital world and reality to do one thing: Talk about really dumb video game news. Thats right, they somehow keep making dumb announcements for stuff in the video game factory, like something...

The FUNCAST 027: Life without Oda Non
We got a weird one! Andrew is driving! The first half of the episode didn't record properly! But we made this anyway, so please enjoy, because there is stuff in here like our GamePass GameClub Game, what we've been playing, and laughing at Activision. All good things! Games Discussed: Two Point...
-
The FUNCAST 026: The Ten Days Of Keigh3
IT'S BEEN TEN DAYS OF WORLD PREMIERS, so I guess it's about time to talk about them now that it's all calmed down. Sure are a lot of them video games coming, huh? SO MANY in fact, that we just don't have the time (or patience, or ability, or care to be honest) to talk about all of them at once…
more -
The FUNCAST 025: A RRReturn to foRRRm

The FUNCAST 022: Second Take
Hey! Did ya hear it? The news in the wind? Yes, that's right, it is, in fact, spring time! Which means gardens and terrible gardening apps. Oh, and some video game news, I guess. New York gets in on the Activision lawsuit punching bag, EVE Online memes become reality, and that sure is a Batman....
-
The FUNCAST 021: Tea Kettle Weirdos
Rejoice! A Gamepass Gameclub episode has arrived! A dark and creepy exterior reveals a soft, warm, comfy interior in The Wild At Heart. Can this 2D Indie Pikmin-alike charm its way into our hearts? But before that, some real wacky and wild news as Square Enix lets its western parts get Embraced…

-
The FUNCAST 014: More Like Elden Rang
We did it! Almost all of us finished Elden Ring! It's a big game, and we do spend another very decent chunk of the show talking some more about it. But before that, we got modern PS2 B-Game Strangers of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin to wonder at, a very short State of Play, thinkin' bout them...
