  • Episode 110 - Squandering the Gift of Prophecy on Video Games
    Jan 15 2025

    Since there’s no big news from Nintendo or anything this week, we take this episode to go over last year’s gaming predictions and try to correctly guess more than one thing that will happen in 2025. Then, as you could have predicted, Robin has no memory of the past week and Willa talks about yuri.

  • Episode 107 - Hekki Ghost
    Dec 25 2024

    There’s no way most of you little freaks ended up on the nice list this year, but we’re bringing you a gift anyway. For this edition of our annual game swap, we’re talking about 1000xResist and Lovely Lady RPG, two games with so little in common I can’t even write a cute little quip comparing them here.

  • Episode 106 - A High Horse Standing On A Soapbox
    Dec 18 2024

    The Game Awards found some exciting new ways to be disappointing this year, but Fumito Ueda also announced a game so who can really be that mad? We talk through this year’s “awards show” then catch up with our mutual obsession, a game about fishing and wearing dresses.

  • Episode 105 - We Are Fans of Things That Exist
    Dec 11 2024

    We watched the PC Gaming Show as an amuse-bouche for The Game Awards, and found a few games to pique our interest plus one to pique our anger. Then we talk through a handful of games we’re either having fun with or anticipate doing so, and end by announcing our plans for the rest of the year, including what games we'll be discussing at length in the final episode of 2024!
