Ep. 203: All Chromed up and Ready to Love (Feat. Nanosaur)
Hey Podtimists,
This week David checks out if this whole Star Wars deal is all it's cracked up to be. Then Chase plays a neat romhack of one of Gamecube's most beloved titles.
Finally, we took a deeper look at the Pangaea Software classic: Nanosaur. This game was suggested to us by listener Murray. Thanks Murray!

Ep. 202: Sippin' & Dippin' (Feat. Transistor and 1000xRESIST)
Hey Podtimists,
This week David took not one but TWO trips to arcade to play some real fun games in person. What a world.
Then Chase talks about one single game for like 25 minutes. It's called 1000xRESIST and it's wonderful.
Finally, we talked about Supergiant's sophomore effort, Transistor. This game was suggested to us by listener Killian. Thanks Killian!

Ep. 201: Pavlov's Dogs are Barkin' (Feat. Butterfly Soup)
Hey Podtimists,
Welcome to another Dayquil episode. Chase is just a little sick but is still here talking about these games. David played a cat game and Chase played the best early access game in the world (okay a little hyperbolic but come on).
Then we dove into the wonderful experience that was Butterfly Soup. This game was suggested to us by listener Novachild. Thanks for your suggestion!
Also chase mentioned a youtube video about n64 recompilation, so here's a link to that video.

Ep. 199: The Mountain Dooter Renaissance (Feat. Alpha Protocol)
Hey Podtimists,
Somehow this is episode 199, woah. That's so many episodes. To celebrate the almost 200th episode we played some video games. Video games like: Balatro, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Front Mission and Abiotic Factor!
We also took a deeper look at the very strange 2010 game Alpha Protocol. This game was suggested to us by listener Sergio. Thanks Sergio!

Ep. 198: Lofi Poker to Chill To
Hey Podtimists,
After a rejuvenating vacation we're back and better than ever. David played a BUNCH of video games. It's zombies and poker baby.
Chase also rediscovered his love for arcade games in Japan. There's a lot of good games in arcades!
