Some games you play because they make your heart race in excitement, others are played to scare you out of your pants, but there are also a ton that are played because they relax you. I like wearing pants so I prefer the last one. This week on the show I am joined by author and games journalist Ryan Janes to discuss his recently released book "The Most Relaxing Video Games". We talk about his inspiration for the book, his selection process and also what his preferred medium to color with is! Make sure you go check out Ryan and his book in the links below.

The Sega Genesis is a special console. It was one of the first video game consoles I ever played and so I have a lot of fond memories surrounding it. Joining me today is my friend G to the Next Level to talk all about a current project he's working on called "Growing Up Genesis" which is a look at the entire North American Sega Genesis library. We talk about his inspiration for the series, the struggles of being a Sega content creator and much more. If you are a Sega fan make sure you check this one out!

Not ONLY are Dexter Morrill and I covering the Super Mario Super Show but we are also doing the Legend of Zelda cartoon! This was my (Josh's) first time watching the cartoon in earnest and man..... I got opinions. But since the Zelda cartoon aired right after Super Show it felt right to cover it. Join Dex and I's foray into animated Hyrule and all that it entails. How much will Zelda need to excuse Link!? Why is Link so a creep!? Listen and find out!

Ya'll knew as soon as a Bluey video game came out that there would be an episode on this right? It's finally here. I'm joined by my good friend Jordan Kuhns to talk about everyone's favorite australian heeler and her first foray into gaming. We spend the first portion of the episod talking about the game but the vast majority of it is us talking about our love of the show and everything it means to us. It's truly hard to describe how much this show means to me and I am beyond happy to finally get a chance to talk all about it.
