IP310: Our Top 10 Games of 2016 Jan 10, 2017

Show notes

This episode, myself, Alex O'Neill, and the rest of the IP crew just sit down and I take them through each of their individual top 10 games of 2016. It's a ton of fun, and instead of being broken up, they're all together!

I also wanted to take a moment to introduce our Game of The Year Content for 2016! It starts with this episode, which is 310, and starting tomorrow "Guest Top 10s" will start posting! If you're not familiar, I'll be sitting down with a bunch of cool video games people as guests, and I'm gonna interview them through each of their individual Top 10 Games of 2016. It's super fun! But we do get into some spoilers on each episode, so please be sure to read the descriptions! I tell you what games I think get spoiled!

That being said, you can also, for the first time EVER, watch all the Guest Top 10s in video form! And this episode!

NEXT week, as more guest top 10s come out, Episode 311 will also release in five parts, Monday through Friday. It's our Five-Part, Five-Day, Five-Fight Game of the Year Special! It too has spoilers in it, and you will also be able to WATCH those for the first time ever! It's a big deal! So subscribe to our Podcast RSS feed and Subscribe on YouTube!

I hope you enjoy our GOTY content, we put a ton of work into it, and thank you so much to all of our guests who contributed as well!

Grab a cup of hot cocoa, sit back, and relax. It’s time for the 2016 Irrational Passions Holiday Special.
This time we just focus in on the games we’ve been playing, whether its finishing games, getting lost in Stardew Valley, or learning that moving across the country is way more trouble than it’s worth.
We celebrate Tony leaving Maryland, even though we’re just gonna talk to him next week.
We have a new IP coming from the person who directs the Persona games.
Some tweets come in our ears and SilverPR regails us.
That’s the show, have a happy holiday all! <3

Show notes

Breakdown:

We recorded super late, so this is SUPER FRESH.
We are without Scott for the first two hours, but don’t worry: Scott arrives.
We have a lot of congrats and a lot of love to give out. Congrats to Nikki and Danny & Tori Wiesner! We love you all!
In games we get a somber tone on Final Fantasy XV, get that Alex Update on Stardew Valley, check back in with World of Warcraft, finish out Telltale’s Batman series, and finish The Last Guardian.
News has us wondering what’s up with Super Mario Run and New Super Mario Bros in general, and we see what the hell is going on with Dota 2.
Scott jumps in and we take some quick questions!
Bets!
That’s it!

Friendships burn in this week’s rendition of IPP.
We go deep on PSX and talk about a TON of stuff in Bonus Content! Hey, maybe just take a gander at the video version. Pull it up on that YouTube app on your smartphone! Hey, just give it a shot.
In games we have SO MANY to talk about, and we dig back into Doom, find out what’s going on in The Last Guardian, get caught up on mobile games in Tony’s pocket, continue our discussion on Pokemon, find out how Alex’s time in THE VALLEY is going and finally... Breakdown the door and talk about Final Fantasy XV.
News this week has us reflecting on The Game Awards and all of our thoughts and problems with it. Oh, and Alex talks about being at PSX and the significance for him being in that room.
We close things out with some final Twitter questions in this long show!
BETS. Final word is back! We remembered this time!

IP303: Owlboy, Not 'Dat Boi' Nov 16, 2016

Show notes

Breakdown:

Warning: we used our backup audio this week. Apologies if it doesn’t sound as good!
We begin things with: a warm welcome. A reminder that we love you regardless of who you are, and that together, we’ll make it through.
Games this week are all about Owlboy, reminding ourselves how to Stardew, getting back into Mass Effect, and a few more.
News this week celebrates N7 day, something about Switch, and more Persona 5 enthusiasm.
We deep-dive on questions today, and go to some weird, hot-chip related places.
BETS ARE BACK BABY
That’s the show, thanks so much for watching/listening/being there!
