Matt Martens and Hunter Donaldson are doing the impossible. Each week, we add one game to our growing definitive ranking of all video games ever made. If the video game industry could just stop for a little bit while we catch up, that would be super helpful.

NHL '94 (1993)
SUMMER HAS BEGUN AND WE'RE STARTING COLD. This week the Sanders brothers are talkin' their favorite old Hockey game NHL '94 for the SNES and Genesis. They also sorta talk about NHL '95 and '96. They also just kind of talk about hockey in general. It's real good chill one and it sets the stage for a wonderful summer of fun episodes about all kinds of stuff.
Come see Hunter do standup and see this show live!

Animal Well (2024)
It's time for our 2024 follow-up to Super Metroid, this year's PUZZLE SEARCH ACTION GAME ANIMAL WELL. We love this game and we recommend it if you like puzzles and atmosphere. We got good energy in this one so get ready to have fun and enjoy our hijinks. This is our half-season finale to our 1994/2024 look so get ready for a little dose of the old show as we take a look at whatever we want over the summer. All beach episodes all summer.

The Three Colours Trilogy (1993/1994) *Patreon Bonus*
Our Animal Well episode is going to be late this week due to Matt literally getting hit with a tornado. It sucks so be nice to him. As an alternative we're going to go ahead and release our April Patreon bonus episode which is about the Three Colours Trilogy by Krzysztof Kieślowski. If you love video games then you'll love a discussion about these 30 year old psychological drama art-films.
Special thanks to our guest and old friend, Andrew Camarillo!
Please go to Hunter's comedy shows and Space Cats Live!

Super Metroid (1994)
It's Matt and EJ together, in person! We've been on a quest recently to gain more experience with the "Metroidvania" or "Search/Action" genre and this felt like one of the most important pieces of homework on our list. How does hold up all these years later?

Hades 2 (2024)
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?

Streets of Rage 3 (1994)
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!

Please do more StarCraft Nostalgia content!
If you ever do the weekly StarCraft UMS podcast- I would tune in regularly!
Doing the impossible
More like Imps, possible. As in, two impish lil guys showing us what’s possible when you play a ton of games with your childhood friends. Lots! Also, sometimes, Tim Schaffer stops by to bless us all, every one. Who saw that coming? Much like hide and seek at John Cena’s house, you will be caught off guard by the warmth, gentility, and unbelievable physiques at play here. 8/10 would hide again.
Good podcast but insulted one of my favorite games
The podcast is decent BUT HALO 3 IS ONE OF THE BEST GAMES TO EXIST anyway I have played Halo 3 and finished it more times than I can count on my fingers and toes together Halo 3 was definitely one of the best games that Microsoft (helped) make/made. Anyway it’s a good podcast overall.
