JD learns a new disgusting term this week, we discuss the impending doom of North American esports, and then we cover the Death Stranding trailer. Later, we dive headlong into 2019's upcoming E3 conference, including the crazy news, the crazy wants, and our crazy predictions.

We finally made it to 100 episodes so we're doing a best-of clipshow! We scoured two years' worth of episodes to pick out our all-time favorite clips like the origin of our Durst love, To Catch a Prederson, TTP, and our eternal HAM argument. It's super concentrated nonsense and you're going to love it.

This week simply does not have a theme, because to be honest, this episode has been fermenting in the 3-bit Vault for the past few months and it's a little stinky. We talk about cities in games, quiz each other on games we haven't played, and reminisce about our favorite defunct gaming studios.

This week we drop some hot fire on ska, Ja Rule, Uwe Boll, and Billy McFarland in our first-ever Monday sode. We undergo relationship therapy to get over some past relationships we've had with games, Explain the Hype behind Anthem, then we build our very own Fyre Festival video game.

This week we invited Lynn back on to talk about romance in video games and there was free booze so we all got a little rambunctious. We dole out some helpful tips in case you forgot Valentine's Day, discuss the good, bad, and ugly of love in games, and compare video games to relationships. And stick around because Peterson and JD are playing Apex Legends and gush all about it in Explain the Hype.

This week is all about how AAA studios are killing the gaming industry. We discuss which devs would benefit from decoupling from their publishers, talk about what studio we want to make a Star Wars game, and then break down why indie developers are the only hope to save video games. And JD makes an argument that Hideo Kojima is the Yoko Ono of the games industry.

You listened, you laughed, you voted, and 2018's Blursties results are in! After bidding farewell to 2018, we make some insane predictions about 2019 and talk about what has us most excited for the upcoming year.

This week is all about the most under appreciated part of video games - animation! We invite on Ubisoft Sr. Gameplay Animator Tyler Hamill to learn us all about what goes into animation in games. We talk about falling off brooms in The Sims and why Hamill spends so much time staring at his hands. And JD makes a Dice of Destiny MOBA pick!

If you haven't gotten gifts for all the gamers in your life just yet, this sode is for you. We play a very special Reindeer Games: Christmas Edition, Be Kind Rewind back to our favorite gaming childhood Christmas gifts, and Peterson reviews his latest obsession, Streets of Rogue.

This week we sit down with Jake Williams, owner and founder of Salt Lake Gaming Con to talk about time in video games. We do Good, Bad, Ugly of time in games, biggest time wasters and games, and get some awesome behind the scenes of what it's like to run a gaming convention.

Planning episodes is hard, which is why this week we turned the planning over to our listeners. We field your questions on everything from our favorite game studio to Peterson's height. And stick around for Peterson's Dice of Destiny review of The Messenger!

This week we bring on the long-awaited and mysterious 5th member of our ancient gaming guild, Chase Straight, to talk all about communities in video games. Chase tells us about the wild world of community moderation and development, and later JD roleplays as the worst gaming PR person who ever lived.

This week we sit down with Daniel and Scott of Dungeon Crawlers Radio to talk about what it's like to game with a family. We talk about everything from flipping over board games to sharing gaming consoles with the people you live with. Oh, and if you hate Battlefront 2, you'll love all the choice words Daniel has for it.

This week we brought back out favorite usurper, Lynn, to chat about people in video games who suck, a.k.a.we discuss the news. We get into about sexism at Riot Games, plagiarism at IGN, and a local librarian who embezzled $89,000 to spend on a mobile game. Oh and we give some kudos to a once-discontinued soda that's making a surging comeback.

This week our producer Dylan stepped from behind the mic to talk to us about the overlap between video games and movies. Peterson tells the sordid tale of the Super Mario Bros. movie, Dylan quizzes us on our video game movie knowledge, and JD of course makes a plea for a BioShock movie. Be sure to check out Dylan's amazing movie podcast, Talking Film: https://saltlakefilmsociety.org/talkingfilm

This week we talk all about why we love teamwork in games. Whether you're battling enemies in a side-scrolling beat-em-up or working together to finish at 40-man raid, teamwork always makes games better. Oh and stick around until the end because we get started back up with Dice of Destiny!

Nearly every week we run out of time for a segment. We're a really chatty bunch - maybe that's why we like podcasting so much. But just because a segment is gone does not mean it's forgotten. This week we dig into the 3-bit Vault and dust off some misfit segments that never made the cut.

This year's E3 was a doozy - from disappointments to big surprises, the next few years in gaming are sure to be interesting. We recap all the big highlights from the show while a few game companies fire shots at JD.

We're all hopped up on hype from Infinity War so the theme for this week's sode is the Avengers. We beg game developers to make an MCU quality game in Dear Game Devs, create our own Avengers from video game characters, and dole out some kudos to an old friend of the show. And because Fortnite got a Thanos crossover, we talk about blockbusters from the past that could have used a game crossover from their own time. Jaws in Pong, anyone?

This week we catch you up on all the latest gaming news and all the new games we're playing right now. We talk Northgard, Monster Hunter World, Dead Cells, Double Dragon Neon, and a ton of other awesome stuff. But the real reason to listen is for the conniption Peterson has when Spencer talks crap on Salvadorian food.
