    Reranking the Top 50 Games [w/ EJ] Aug 29, 2022
    Show notes

    This is it! The finale to "Season 0" (we decided this was season 0 after recording this episode, but it IS okay?). As should become a yearly tradition, we must now take a look at the works we have done and fix all of the horrible mistakes we've made to our own list. Today we sit down with all 50 games we've covered thus far and give you the one True Ranking. All previous rankings were false. (but were true)

    Show notes

    We have done it. After roughly a year, we have made it to our 50th game to be added to this list. To celebrate, we've brought on two of our lifelong friends Shawn and Paul to talk about how storied history playing Elder Scrolls games and specifically our experiences with the series' fifth entry Skyrim. It's been rereleased some ungodly number of times and is it worth all of the hype? Well at least three of the freaks on this episode are certainly members of the Cult of Todd, so buckle up.

    Mentioned in the Episode:

    Morrowind Rebirth overhaul mod

    Skywind Mod for Skyrim

    Show notes

    Hideo Kojima is a titan in the industry and while he was making hits before 1998, Metal Gear Solid is the game that secured is place on the list of all-time greats. This game is important, innovative, and dumb as all get out. That checks three pretty important boxes of criteria for us on this show, so I please enjoy this episode and expect Solid Snake to do well...

    Journey (2012) Aug 09, 2022
    Show notes

    Thatgamecompany has put out a few hits over the years, but perhaps their most celebrated is 2012's Journey. A single player puzzle platformer with an esoteric multiplayer hook: you are randomly partnered with someone online and you cannot speak to them. It makes for a magical experience, despite it's short length. So as we race for these last games to try and top the list, how will yet another INDIE DARLING stack up?

    Does everyone remember Ocarina of Time always being referred to as the best game of all time? What happened? Did we actually just start making games better, or did everyone forget about it? Is it forgettable? Is it's forgettable-ness Nintendo's own doing? WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?! Anyways, it's time to make Ocarina's ranking Definitive. (TM)

    Portal (2007) Jul 25, 2022
    Show notes

    It's actually wild that we've had nearly 50 games and haven't talked about a single Valve game yet. Portal is perhaps a strange one to start with, but it is also quick to knock out in an afternoon which makes it perfect with the onslaught of other games we have as we race for 50 games on the list. It was a part of a massive compilation of games and stood out as a marvel of game design. How does it hold up this many years and a sequel later?

    We've been trying to get this game onto the list since we started this show and it is finally time. Disco Elysium came out of nowhere and was an instant classic. If everything goes according to plan, this game should be remembered forever, and it starts here with the most definitive list out there.

    Show notes

    We teased this episode recently, and someone told us Soulcalibur is the Eddie Gordo of fighting games. Matt doesn't know what that means, but it probably means he's a dumb guy for this being the fighting game that he likes. It's cool! We get it! But come listen to us be wrong about the entire genre for an hour anyways!
