    Episode 512: Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

    Our resident Pokemon expert Will, (the only one of us that consistently plays all the pokemon games) weighs in on the controversial new entry into the mainline Pokemon series.  You've no doubt seem some of the memes, screencaps and videos from it, but is that really representative of the game as a whole?

    Episode 511: Tactics Ogre Reborn

    Will and Corey played the updated tactical RPG Tactics Ogre Reborn for this week's episode....a game that sits right in the wheelhouse of the Thumbstick Athletes podcast, who hold Final Fantasy Tactics in such high esteem. During nibblebits we cover the nominees for the 2022 Game Awards, and it seems like there's 4 or 5 games that were nominated for everything, so if you're a fan of Elden Ring, God of War Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West, Stray, or A Plague Tale: Requiem, you're probably going to have a good awards season.

    Episode 506: Ghostwire: Tokyo

    For this week's episode, Will discusses a game that kind of came out of nowhere for us in Ghostwire: Tokyo.  He describes it as an open world, supernatural action adventure game with some horror elements.  It checks a lot of boxes certainly, but what is it?   In our Nibblebits segment we cover the cancellation of E3 among a few other topics, and during "What We Played" we get you caught up on the new Zero Build Fortnite, some Elden Ring, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
