Show notes

Will I ever make it through all of Tron: Ares? Going to guess no on this one. In the news, the game industry loses a legend, the future of Forza clears up a bit, EA shareholders do the thing, and Bits & Bops is pretty incredible.

183: Psychic Boots Dec 09, 2025

Show notes

Horses! I experienced Horses, let’s talk about it and the idea of it being banned from Steam and the Epic Game Store. I also played Metroid Prime 4, which also isn’t on Steam or the Epic Game Store. Hmmmm! VERY INTERESTING, I think? Also: what does the Warner Bros. sale mean for the future of Mortal Kombat? Harada plans his escape! PEGI rates an Assassin’s Creed Black Flag remake of some kind! Take-Two brings on some Perfect Dark developers to start a new studio. And more!

182: Blowing Up Cop Cars Dec 02, 2025

Show notes

Linux adoption vs. Windows 10 vs. TPM 2.0 vs. Anti-Cheat vs. Steam Machines vs. Windows 11... where does it end? Heck, where does it start? Also: Goat Simulator 3 is broken in the right ways, an Xbox Series X was more expensive than a PS5 Pro there for a little bit, I dug out the entirety of Level 7 in S&Miner and all I have is this screenshot, the next Hitman, the next Dead Rising, and more!

181: Bagpipes From Baghdad???? Nov 25, 2025

Show notes

Eminem comes to Hitman in a promotional opportunity that feels at least a year late! Also, Sektori seems to be very red, Timesplitters gets a cool new fangame, the Xbox 360 turns 20, Far Cry gets a TV series, Black Ops 7 sales seem down (and with good reason), and the Steam Machine is certainly not going to be like 400 bucks.

180: Gas-Huffers Unite Nov 18, 2025

Show notes

Time to take a big hit of whatever this evil red gas is and talk about Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. They say it’s the biggest Call of Duty ever, which is probably true? Kind of a big mess, really. Also: Valve is back in the box-making game and it’s exciting! The Game Awards nominees are announced, Final Fantasy XI’s dev environment is updated, and that GameTap Lady Sovereign video came up yet again.

179: This Week in Deceptive Video Gaming Nov 11, 2025

Show notes

Between Q-Up and It Takes A War it’s been a good little stretch for games that might not quite be what they seem. Let’s talk about those along games that are very much what they seem, like Lumines Arise, Powerwash Simulator 2, and Grand Theft Auto VI. Plus: The five-year anniversary of the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 is upon us. Wow!

178: Virtual Springfield 2K25 Nov 04, 2025

We missed Mortal Monday, but there’s still plenty to discuss with the new Legacy Kollection. Also: what’s up with ARC Raiders? Plus: Battlefield 6 custom server mayhem, Once Upon A Katamari review update, and that awful-looking Double Dragon game actually shipped? In the news, the Xbox Full Screen Experience officially makes its way to another handheld, Animal Crossing gets a paid update, the Simpsons come to Fortnite, and more.

177: An Enthusiastic Four-Year-Old Tells You About Katamari Oct 28, 2025

Show notes

Once Upon a Katamari is finally out and we have something resembling a review from an expert in the field. Speaking of fields, Wreckreation is out and it’s probably about as close as you’re going to get to a Burnout Paradise-like anytime soon. Let’s talk about that, Halo’s campaign remake, some more details around Xbox’s next hardware, Battlefield’s new battle royale, Toshinden?!??!?!?! And more?!?!!
