Episode 36: Doom 2016 (Brian-Pat)
Join Brian and Pat as they fucking thrash to the sick licks and rifts of Doom 2016. Is this just another reboot.....no, no it is not. For once a company brought back an old title, bringing what made it great and adding modern graphics and gameplay. Seriously, this is just a solid FPS.
-

-

-
Episode 32 - Mass Effect 1 (Brian-Kevin)
It only took 7 months......7 months Kevin. Join Brian and Kevin as they read the dictionary cover to cover in Mass Effect 1. Is this a masterfully written Bioware RPG with an expansive and detailed universe or a book masquerading as a game?
-
Episode 31 - Painkiller (Brian-Pat-Eric)
Join Brian, Pat, and Eric as they bunny-hop through the "unbelievably high polygon count" of Painkiller. Is this the spiritual successor to the Doom series that Doom 3 never was, or is it just an FPS relic from another era. In the world of Doom 2016 and Eternal can an old shooter still hold its own?
-
Episode 30: Halo First Strike (Brian-Eric-Pat-Kevin)

Join Brian, Kevin, Eric, and Pat as they take turns jerking off one of the greatest first-person shooters, the almighty Halo 1. Is this the game that redefined the genre and showed that shooters can be more than just an entrance and an exit with bodies in-between or is it just a bland scifi...
-
Gaming News: E3, Battel Royale, Animal Crossing, Snakey Bus
Join Brian, Pat, Kevin, and Eric as they discuss the cancellation of E3 and the bullshit surrounding the presentation of gaming teasers. We also "briefly" mention the new Call of Duty battle royale game and the saturation of this genre of gaming. Kevin bores everyone to death with a deep…

Episode 26: Jedi Fallen Order (Brian-Pat-Eric-Kevin)

-
Episode 25: Celeste (Brian&Kevin)
Join Brian and Kevin as they turn Super Saiyan God and die on impact in Celeste. Is this a beautifully drawn story of a woman coming to terms with societal anxieties or just another indie platformer; different music, new paint job, same Super Meat Boy?
-
Episode 24: Sekiro Shadows Die Twice (Brian-Pat-Mark)
Join Brian, Pat, and Mark as bloodily gush their way through Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Is this the next logical step in From Software gaming as the Dark Souls genre evolves, a bastion of glorious violence and subtle storytelling with a backdrop of nightmare visions? Ooooorrrr....is it just…
more -

Episode 23: Halo Reach (Brian-Kevin-Eric)
Join Brian, Eric, and Kevin as they nobly perish in Halo Reach (the game this time). Feel free to skip the nerd-session that was Episode 22 and jump straight into the fucking confusing action that is the prequel game to the legendary Halo: Combat Evolved. Is this the tearful goodbye to Bungie…

-
Episode 20: Elder Scrolls Online (Brian&Eric)

-
Episode 19: Project Zomboid (Brian&Eric)
Join Brian and Eric as they (don't) survive the zombie apocalypses in Project Zomboid. Is this a gem of an indie survival game that takes realism to a new level or just an excuse to play with File Explorer before dying of dysentery?
