Friday Night Gamecast FNGC Studios

I got Will back on to Remake the FNGC Review of the Dead Space Remake (Neil Druckmann is punching the air somewhere this very moment)! We have a ton of fun on this episode and take this opportunity to get deeply into the mechanical weeds of this game to break down what makes it so special and effective as a survival horror game. Plus we get the chance to make the case for Dead Space 2 Remake!

What's up everybody! Long time no podcast :)

This episode is going to be very similar to the last one that we put out where Will covered Mario Odyssey!. Its straight to the point in covering all things around Half-Life 2. The elements that I (Nick) enjoyed, my critiques and whether it held up for me in 2023. We're also going to provide a beat-by-beat breakdown of the plot/levels throughout the game and where my headspace was at in each moment. So I hope you all enjoy, and thanks so much for your patience and consideration!

Happy early Friday everybody! The Season 2 finale of FNGC is here for your listening pleasure. This was an incredibly fun episode to just have Will and myself in the booth and it's just kick back for a relaxing conversation about the best games of 2023. There's a extra section included here where I interview Will about the show and his thoughts on 2023 which is a "Hot Ones" styled interview but instead we're taste testing energy drinks! After nearly a month of doing remote recordings with featured guests, this felt great to sit back in person with Will to dig deep on what made this year so special. We will have one more episode releasing shortly after this and then go on a mild hiatus before jumping back in to do some great stuff for Season 3, so keep your eyes peeled!

Happy Thanksgiving and the happiest of Black Fridays to you all! **Spoilers in this episode** This week we're joined by Kolby, Tyler and Jared to discuss the one and only, Tears of the Kingdom. Arguably one of the best Zelda games ever and in the upper echelon of 2023, Zelda has been a constant since it dropped earlier this May. In this show we jump in the deep end to discuss what makes this title special and why you deserve to continue your play-through. As previously mentioned at the top of the description, we're going full blown spoiler mode, it's almost impossible to avoid - so if you need to, play first and come back later. This is a great time to catch up and become well-informed for the GOTY conversations!
