This maybe isn't a fair game to call a 2024 release since it's just entering Early Access, but we'll call this the state of Hades 2 in May of 2024. Hades spent multiple years in an Early Access that resulted in one of the favorite games of 2020, so it's safe to assume the team behind it can be trusted with this kind of task. But what does it mean to follow up Hades?

We got Hunter, Matt, and EJ together for this beatdown on a Sega Genesis Classic, STREETS OF RAGE 3. We rehash some debates on whether this genre is even good and talk at length about how we feel about SoR's place in the beat-em-up canon. We got some good music in this one even! Also new poll has been posted to the patreon for those of you who would like to vote on this month's bonus episode!

We've got a big strategy one for y'all today! Hunter and Cole sit down to talk about Cole's 1994 roots and chow down on what exactly make X-Com: UFO Defense one of the greatest strategy games of all time. It's always a delight to have Cole on and this episode is no exception. Enjoy!

BIG SPOILERS: WHOLE THING IS SPOILERS

This episode has been owed to you all for a long time! We didn't forget, we were saving it for a week where we needed some extra time. I have an episode on X-Com cooking but I needed more prep time. Enjoy this discussion of the original Last of Us between Hunter and Sun, it meanders and spends a lot of time talking about story and narrative but it was a fun discussion, if you needed us to really nail this game you could always just watch the action button review instead.

This week we have a real silly episode for you. We're talking about the arcade and snes versions of NBA JAM but also we talk about a lot of crazy stuff. This one is heavy on nostalgia and gets pretty specific. Very good episode if you like our more comedy focused vibes.

Sorry for the late late episode, we let the bonus hold the normal slot and now you are getting your normal episode at the 11th hour. This time Matt and Hunter sit down to talk about two smaller new titles. The first is OPEN ROADS, the spiritual follow-up to the 2013 indie classic GONE HOME. Prepare to talk about walkin'! The second game is some silly Matt stuff.

Here is the first of what will be many Patron voted bonus episodes. Big thanks to all patrons for sponsoring this episode. This week we're talking about Dune: Part Two! This newish film really captured the zeitgeist and delivered Frank Herbert's classic to a new generation. This week we'll hear Hunter and Sun break down their thoughts on the new flick as a companion episode to the episode we did on David Lynch's version a month or two ago. Regardless of our thoughts at we'll keep Dune jargon culturally relevant for another 10 years!

This week we have a new guest, Leder Game's Developer Nick Brachmann! Listen to us talk about our shared love for brunch, arcade games, and pets. This is a fun introductory conversation to a guest that I expect you'll hear from again in the future, but for now we celebrate the 30th birthday for the classic Sega arcade racer DAYTONA USA.

Sorry about this episode being late, but this is a really special episode for a very special game. I hope you appreciate the discussion and I want to say earnestly that I really think you should play this game and experience this story. We didn't know a lot about this Jeff Minter fella and I now consider him an inspirational figure. So enjoy the discussion but also just play this game. It's really great!

This week Matt, Hunter, and EJ are in the middle of an OBSESSION with a new card game called Balatro. This episode is more explicit than usual for some reason, we were just really wildin' out. Hope you're havin' a great week, don't play too much Balatro.
