Filthy Casuals with Tommy Dassalo and Ben Vernel

Latest Episodes:

Episode 300: Skyward Sword HD Review, Steam Deck, Netflix Gaming Jul 22, 2021

Show notes

All that's old is new again. Sure, we've played Skyward Sword before, but not in HD or with the game assuming that we would like to solve the puzzles ourselves. Sure, we've played PC games before, but not in a nice little handheld (other than the PC handhelds that have come out before, but like I say this one is nice). Hey, we've played Bandersnatch on Netflix, but we haven't forced ourselves to play whatever new "games" they decide to put out. And yeah, we've listened to episodes of Filthy Casuals before. But have we listened to the 300th episode before? My friend, we are about to.

We played another old Zelda game on YouTube, The Wand of Gamelon, and you can watch it at this link right here.

Episode 299: Monster Hunter Stories 2 Review, Top 10 PC Games Jul 15, 2021

Show notes

Tommy's been playing Monster Hunter Stories 2 on the Switch, so it's time for Ben and Adam to take him to school. Computer school. It's the school where everybody gets beaten up and there's nobody outside at lunchtime. The teachers are all a bit creepy and the students are somehow a bit creepier. The school bus? A serial bus. The hall monitor? A G-sync monitor. The hat you wear when you graduate? A motherboard. The classrooms? They're all um, RAM. It's computer school. Specifically, it's the class when Tommy gets taken through Ben and Adam's picks for the most important PC games that he might have missed in his years without a "rig". Rig is a term I learned in computer school.

Episode 298: Nintendo Switch OLED Model, Prodeus, Cruelty Squad Jul 08, 2021

Show notes

Cruelty Squad is a twisted throwback to the early 2000s style of large scale, emergent FPS; a deliberately bizarre and uncomfortable game that tries its hardest to baffle, confuse, unsettle and upset you. And it doesn't even come close to achieving that as effectively as Nintendo's announcement of the new OLED Switch. We talk about both on this episode, as well as the fun Early Access Doom-clone Prodeus, and a little bit more, I dare wager.

Episode 297: Mario Golf: Super Rush Review, Sable Demo Jul 01, 2021

Show notes

18 holes? What is this, a DONUT SHOP? Now, while I don't want you to stop enjoying that enormous laugh that you're definitely in the midst of right now, I would like to talk to you about something that is, in fact, not a joke. The fact that donuts do not have holes. A donut is a ring, and therefore the "hole" in the centre is a natural aspect of the shape. While the term "hole" would be appropriate for describing a chunk taken out of the centre of your jam-filled variety of donut perhaps, it is not suitable for describing the space in the middle of the traditional ring-shaped donut any more than for describing the entire space surrounding said donut. The space in the centre is the same as the space anywhere other than the centre: parts of the world which are not the inhabited by the shape. If you need any further clarification on this, please don't hesitate to ask. In this podcast we review Mario Golf: Super Rush, talk about the Sable demo, and discuss Tommy's new gaming PC.

Episode 296: Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart Review, Final Fantasy VII Remake Intermission Review Jun 24, 2021

Show notes

Video games are officially good, and we prove it this week with reviews of Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, Final Fantasy VII Intermission DLC and the Intergrade update for PS5, Nintendo's new intro to game design Game Builder Garage, and wish a happy birthday to the Game Boy Advance. I've since learned that it was also the Nintendo 64's birthday and we said nothing. Must be pretty upsetting to be a Nintendo 64 today. Perhaps the graphics were so blurry because of the tears welling up in its eyes. I'm sorry, Nintendo 64. Many happy returns.

Episode 294: Top 5 E3 Predictions Jun 10, 2021

Show notes

E3 is just around the corner so this episode we're doing that thing where the 3 people all peak around a corner at the same time and they're all at different heights. You know that thing, like in The Little Rascals and things like that? Like they'd all have to be really weirdly contorted behind the wall they're peering around to even be able to all look at once. I guess one crouches, one is sort of doing it normally, but then the other one has to be really tall and ideally have a natural L shaped curve to them. Not many people like that out there. The Little Rascals were a bunch of freaks. E3 predictions :)

Episode 292: Biomutant Review May 27, 2021

Show notes

A biographical mutant, or biomutant (/ˈbaɪoʊmjuːtənt;[1] abbreviation for biographical mutated creature), is a film that dramatizes the life of a non-fictional or historically-based mutant or mutants. Such films show the life of a historical mutant and the central mutant's real name is used.[2] They differ from documutant films and historical mutant films in that they attempt to comprehensively tell a single mutant's life story or at least the most historically important years of their lives.

Episode 291: Mass Effect Legendary Edition, Famicom Detective Club May 20, 2021

Show notes

Anime and aliens this week as we dive into two remasters on vastly different scales with Famicom Detective Club on the Switch and Mass Effect Legendary Edition on every other console. Whether you want to live in 1980s Japan or a vast galactic network of planets populated by multiple space-faring species, we've got you covered. And don't pretend it's not a choice between one of those two things. You're listening to a video games podcast, and as someone who listens to and makes video games podcasts, I can promise you that each and every one of us wishes we could live in either 1980s Japan or space. It's only between those two. Sorry, but that's who we are.
