guilty gear

Welcome to our music podcast where we talk about all things music related…. Oh wait we are a video game podcast what the heck? The boys are back at it with the usual fighting game bullshit. But this time they’ve brought their friends Hi-Fi Rush and a cavalcade of other buds.

New Year New Us! 
Hello, and welcome to season 2! Where we pivot to a fighting games only podcast! Or do we??? I guess you'll just have to join us this week to find out! We also discuss our new year gaming resolutions. Can we accomplish them or will they go into the pile with that gym subscription we forgot about from last year.

Games talked about:
Guilty Gear Strive
Knotwords
Divinity 2: Ego Draconus

Hey hi hello! We've got another episode with a few less topics, but still a solid compilation of topics. So we got Sonic 3 movie news, another queer fighting game character, celebrity news, and Rick and Morty updates. Also, hey, Splatoon 3 and Overwatch got news. There's game stuff, but other stuff too!

Check it out!
