YoVG # 363 Thanksgaming 2022! Nov 23, 2022

Show notes

It's that time of year where we devote an entire episode to the things we are most thankful in gaming this year. If you're in the states you may be travelling or otherwise in need of some company this week - let us be that for you!

As always, we are thankful for you. Thank you!

YoVG # 362 Games that start strong, but get weak! Nov 16, 2022

Show notes

Today's episode is all about games that started strong and tapered off. Maybe it held a whole lot of promise, or had such a strong intro it just couldn't live up to it. Maybe the game is still good by all accounts. It's an evergreen episode, and subjective - so let us know which you agree/disagree with or maybe one you feel strongly about!

Sorry in advance for the awkward pause. I am sick with a sinus cold and literally forgot the word "sponsor". Matt steps in to save me an dmaybe you'll get a good laugh about it.

YoVG # 361 Games That Could be Better Without Combat Nov 09, 2022

Show notes

I don't know if this ever happens to you, but have you ever loved everything about a game - the puzzles, the story, the environment - and then the combat sorta drags it down? Whole game a ten but you just don't care much for the combat? Today we are talking about games that are better without it.

YoVG # 360 The Good Ending Nov 02, 2022

Show notes

Bayo 3 had a bit of a forced wrap up, or so it seemed to many fans. Just a quick bow tie outta no where. And this motivated our topic of the episode, how rare it is for game series to "end" at all. So, spoilers ahead if you haven't beaten Bayonetta 3, but join us for a talk about good endings!

YoVG # 359 Falling out of Love with Zelda... Oct 26, 2022

Show notes

Matt's got a heart ache. He's been feeling this way for a while... But he might, maybe, JUST MAYBE, be over Zelda. What does that mean? Does he hate it now? Does he hate joy? Is this like when he stopped liking Kingdom Hearts!?

YoVG # 358 Silent RE4Rs Oct 21, 2022

Show notes

Apparently it is the early 2000's again. We have Final Fantasy news, we have Silent Hill news and of course we have Resident Evil 4 (remake) news! Sure seems like Silent Hill 2 remake is made for Matt and I, because we haven't played the original (or at least I don't remember it much). As far as RE4R goes, we are both pretty excited. It looks like some of our favorite aspects of 4 have survived the serious filter, and the game visuals look incredible.

YoVG # 357 Street Fighter 6 Beta Boys! Oct 12, 2022

Show notes

Matt got in to the SF6 closed beta and today we are talking about his thoughts on the game. It sounds a lot like the dev team focused on what fans wanted (I know incredible concept). If the beta is anything to go by, this could be a big game changer for the series, but maybe for fighting games period.

YoVG # 356 Sony's Leaking... Oct 05, 2022

Show notes

A list of projects Sony has in development has leaked and while there is hub-bub about the Horizon Zero Dawn remake - there is plenty other stuff in there to talk about too.

Episode starts with some aside talk where I admit in an international bar fight I am choosing a Texan or an Australian - yes even over soccer hooligans. Not gaming related but important nonetheless.

YoVG # 355 E3 + Cyberpunk Comeback!? Sep 28, 2022

Show notes

Weird week! E3 is coming back and they are doing the exact thing so many people have screamed about. It's like someone ACTUALLY read what people want and thought "Yeah, let's do that!"

Plus, Cyberpunk tie-in anime Edgerunners debuted this week and... it has actually spiked interest in Cyberpunk 2077 again?

YoVG # 354 Gaming Chair Deep Dive w/ Consumer Reports Sep 24, 2022

Show notes

Hey doods! This week's episode is a bit special. We have Nicholas De Leon, from Consumer Reports, on the show to talk about his recent article. Matt has been in the market for a new chair, and of course he has been eyeing all the sexy gaming chairs out there. As chance would have it, one of our Patrons is a writer for CR and was working on a deep dive to figure out just what goes into a good chair, and what might make for a great gaming chair. This seemed like a really good opportunity to talk about an important bit of gaming paraphernalia that has used streamers and youtubers to great effect in targeting gamers.

We reference two articles from Consumer Reports pretty heavily in this episode. You can read them here:

Best Gaming Chairs Deep Dive: https://www.consumerreports.org/electronics/gaming/best-gaming-chairs-a5718517198/

Best Office Chairs Deep Dive: https://www.consumerreports.org/office-chairs/best-office-chairs-a1524389651/

I said thank you maybe three hundred times this episode, mostly because every time we thought we were ending we would think of one last question, but ONE MORE TIME - Thanks Nicholas, it was great to have you on. You can pick his brain about gaming chairs, laptops, and routers even more by hitting him up on his twitter https://twitter.com/nicholasadeleon
