Hey Folks! It is that time again, time for our yearly Games of the Year show. Last year we learned that it was far better to record two weeks in a row instead of creating a marathon three-plus hour long show and cutting it in half.  So this week I bring you the first part covering fourteen games and for those who have not listened to one of these before…  these are games that were important to us this year and may or may not have actually been released this calendar year.  A lot of them were, but I just wanted to set the expectations.

This year we did not have a lot of overlap, which is to be expected given that the seven of us have some wildly different tastes. It was a big year and I am sure there are a lot of games that you think might need to be on this list that we did not choose. Hopefully, you enjoy our thoughts all the same.

Games Discussed:

• Risk of Rain Returns

• Risk of Rain 2

• Celeste: Strawberry Jam

• Last Epoch

• Path of Exile

• System Shock

• Xenoblade Chronicles 3 Future Redeemed

• Hi-Fi Rush

• Dredge

• Dave the Diver

• Armored Core VI

• New World

• Fire Emblem Engage

• Final Fantasy XVI

Jonas “Jttg" kicks off the year with his review of "Alan Wake 2", brings back some souveniers from Japan such as "The Boy and The Heron" and helps us relive the holiday experience with "Pokemon Concierge".  

James "TheBunyipMan" gets all in a puzzle solving mood with "The Talos Principle", dreams of a better life amongst his people with "Saltburn" and takes a look at some humble beginings with "Parks and Recreations".  

The random Netflix movie this month is "#Alive" a Zombie apocalypse film set in South Korea.

Some other bits of media that happen to come up are: Dave the Diver, Cyberpunk: Phantom Liberty, The Case Of The Golden Idol, Vampire Survivors, Chants of Sennaar, The Finals, Tomb Raider, Elemental, Blue Beetle, Delicious In Dungeon, Gladiators, The Traitors

In the grand absence of Gibbs and Zea, Mox and Izzy hold down the fort with a spree of entertainment unravelings in our first episode of the year. They dissect Scorsese's "Killers of the Flower Moon," seemingly crafted to keep white guilt on an all-time high. Studio Trigger's "Delicious in Dungeon" and Miyazaki's mesmerizing "The Boy and the Heron" prompt animated conversations about the latest in anime. Buckle up as the duo unveils their anticipation for upcoming anime gems that have them practically bouncing in their seats.

Mox drops into Amazon's "Fleabag" and falls head over heels for its divine writing, while a wild revelation emerges: AI scribblings and CG wizardry have costume rental bigwigs quaking in existential fear. Join the banter as they dissect how on Earth "Starfield" bagged the title for most innovative gameplay. Meanwhile, Izzy conquers the briny deeps in "Dave the Diver," treating it like a high-octane Monster Hunter quest amidst sharp-toothed predators. Hold onto your gaming hats as Mox dishes out praise for the stunning gameplay of "Lies of P," and the team reviews "Death Must Die," "Power Chord," and "Cobalt Core" in a whirlwind of game-centric glory. It's a rollercoaster ride through the realms of entertainment that you won't want to miss!

Hey Folks! Happy New Year! We are back after the holiday break and are delaying our Games of the Year Show until a bit later in the month.  This week we talk about the Dave the Diver Dredge Crossover, Super Mario RPG and Thalen’s child plotting an interesting course through the game, and a return to Monster Hunter World. With Bobby Kotick leaving ActiBlizz, Bel has stepped back into World of Warcraft and talks a bit about his thoughts so far and the inspirations taken from Guild Wars 2.  From there we talk a bit about missing trade league despite how much of a capitalist nightmare it is and how it makes the players focus entirely on short-term gains. Bel talks a bit about how he has shifted his Chieftain into Righteous Fire and how it is a reasonable replacement for RF Juggernaut.  Finally, some breaking news while we are recording…  we talk a bit about the new FFXIV job Pictomancer, and the new limited job Beastmaster.

Topics Discussed:

• Dave the Diver Dredge Crossover

• Super Mario RPG Remake

• Monster Hunter World

• World of Warcraft after 3 Years Away

• Influences from Guild Wars 2

• Path of Exile

• The line goes up, and financialization of everything in another inflation league

• Righteous Fire Chieftain

• Missing Trade League

• Final Fantasy XIV

• New Dawntrail News

• Pictomancer

• Beastmaster

• OrcaCon

Farming MMO "Palia" came out for Nintendo Switch after some time in the PC oven, and it has everything we want from this kind of game. So...why is it so bad?

Also, to the surprise of no one, "Dave the Diver" is GREAT! Plus: A huge data breach at Insomniac/Sony reveals interesting conversations about the future of the games business. We say BUH-BYE to  one of the industry's most disliked CEOs, and we pay respects to "Max Payne" voice actor James McCaffrey, who sadly passed away this week.

Mer-people, a strange dog (?), and more on this week's games discussion!

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen

We start off the show with Ash talking about playing through Wandersong.  From there Thalen talks about his experience with Lost Words, and Tam dives into a discussion about how Far Cry does a shockingly good job with its cultural experience.  From there we talk about Final Fantasy XIV Fan Fest and the announcement for the Dawntrail Expansion.  Then we talk a bit about the news coming out of ExileCon with Path of Exile II.  We also talk a bit about the changes coming to the first game with 3.22 and the Trail of the Ancestors League.  Finally, we wrap things up with a discussion about Dave the Diver again and how it is this weird showcase for how to make a good mobile game…  even though it isn’t one.

Topics Discussed:

• Wandersong

• Lost Words

• Far Cry 6

• How it gets culture right

• Final Fantasy XIV Dawntrail

• WOL Goes on Vacation

• Path of Exile II

• Path of Exile 3.22

• Dave the Diver

• Good Mobile Game

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, and Tamrielo

Hey Folks! This week we are down a Thalen which bumps a topic that we bumped last week, but whatever we have more! Bel starts off the show with a discussion about Blaugust coming soon and how the changes in the social media landscape are introducing it to more people.  From there we talk about the One of One Ring search being over, which dives into a discussion about whether or not the Sol Ring being an auto-include is good or not. Kodra has been using the SteamDeck as a primary travel computer and this works shockingly well.  We talk about the weird game that is Dave the Diver and then branch off into a discussion about whether or not Pizza Tower is actually good.  Tam shares some nostalgia for revisiting the Battlezone ‘98 Remaster and how it is a type of RTS that never really had its day.  Finally, Kodra and Ash share some of their progress in Four Job Fiesta as it is nearing the end of that event.

Topics Discussed:

• Blaugust is Coming

• 2 Million Dollar Card Found

• Debate about Magic the Gathering “Auto Includes”

• SteamDeck as a Primary Machine

• Dave the Diver

• Pizza Tower is Good?

• Battlezone ‘98

• Four Job Fiesta
