Deja vu? Well, sort of. It's like you think you've heard this show before, and you kind of have...but it's different. And that, Ladies and Gentlemen is Tears of the Kingdom (TotK for short) in a nutshell. The follow-up to Nintendo's 2017 Breath of the Wild (BotW for short) smash hit - TotK had some pretty big shoes to, well not fill, but follow up …

Well, it happened. Sony's 2023 PlayStation Showcase happened. We saw a bunch of trailers for games, some new hardware and a deep dive into Spider Man 2. So what do we think about it? How do we feel about it? What stood out? Jon, Chris and Shaun all weigh in on what they saw, what made the excited and did anything make them go, "Huh?" As always, we'…

This week the boys are a man down - Jon had some important work stuff due. So, Chris and Shaun said - we got this.

We're back....well at least Jon and Chris are. We begin our march to episode 500 by taking a trip out to sea to do some deep sea fishing....unfortunetly for us we also encounter monsters at every turn in Blacksail's Dredge.

On this episode Chris, Jon and Shaun all took part in a trip to the actual movie theatre to see the new Super Mario Bros Movie. Sadly, we did not see it all together, always a good time when we do.

Hello! Thanks for downloading the show! This week was about Sons of the Forest, a sequel to The Forest. While Chris gave his review, he pointed out very - weird in game moments that def would have Shaun's skin crawling.

Hello again! We are back and ready to discuss things! So with the year starting, we put together a list of things we think the big 3 (Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo) need to do this year. Things range from physical things like the Dualsense battery life (it's not good) to something more digital like Microsoft's GamePass model. We also would like to h…

The trio has reunited! Jon is back! That makes us happy - Safe travels have occurred for the Jon.

The last "live" episode of 2022 ends with a game - turned topic - that Chris has been waiting for. It's called High on Life. This game is from the Co-Creator of Rick and Morty and published by Squanch Games. The game is a comedic, first person shooter game full of that aforementioned Rick and Morty humor. As a matter of fact - Chris noted that if y…
