    Episode Twenty One: The Final Boss

    Join us for the exciting season finale. The adventure begins yet again in Hades. Matt somehow braves through (some of) Wu Chang Fallen Feathers, but his nerves give out. Andy grabs armor and a cape and starts Doom Dark Ages, but still has time to finish his Mine Craft castle. For the main event, they discuss The Game Awards. But not the awards themselves, the true winners are the trailers. AI is back in the news while the party laments needing to re-cap TV shows. They end the year with Quests for the New Year.

    Episode Twenty: Gathering For Battle

    Join us as the party gathers 'round to give thanks. Matt and Andrew are plenty thankful for Hades II as they dive pretty deep into this GOTY contender. Matt finally boards the Monster Train, and they both find their own Vampire Survivors clones. This Boss Battle is a blind top ten pick:  RPGs for The Doc, FPS for The Andman. The debate gets hot. Somehow, GTA is still in the news, but so is Mick Gordon, so all is well. Future quests are a bit light, but the party is about to take on The Game Awards, so a rest at camp is needed.

    Episode Nineteen: The Haunted Castle

    Welcome to a spooky journey into Hades... 2. Matt finally finishes his 33rd expedition, and Andy can lay Hollow Knight to rest and then digs up a creepy old game. Grab some peanuts and crackerjacks, cause they pick video game characters to play on their softball teams. It's a quick stop at the Emporium to talk about the gear that brings you this very podcast. Bethesda is back in the news, Matt wants a star wars knife, and Pittsburgh appears in games.  Send us a text Support the show

    Episode Eighteen: The Overworld

    In the midst of a multi-day Borderlands 4 marathon, the team takes a break to bring you another episode. Andman continues his love of playing games that makes him hate himself. Matt still can't finish a game. The duo reminisce over the possibly best sci-fi movie franchise ever (yes, it is definitely not what you're thinking.) Then there's the obligatory Metal reference. Matt's brain is wired upside down, they NoClip into GTA, weird physics games pop up, and the biggest sale in all of videos game history may be a good thing. And speaking of history, Homer makes a sneaky appearance. Send us a text Support the show

    Episode Sixteen: The Return Home

    Possibly the party's longest journey yet, this tale will last you through the night. Matt and Andrew actual play a game together. Matt does a little 33 and a touch of a rando game, while Andrew surprise plays a sequel. The Emporium is filled with mice, but it's ok he's got a bunch o' Razers. Then they Respawn homunculi, Blood, and DDR. Matt also gives a synopsis of War of the Worlds, saving the rest of humanity from having to watch it themselves. You are welcome. They finish strong with some Mass Effect voiceovers, Wolfenstein penises, Parables, and the great debate on which system to play Borderlands 4. Send us a text Support the show
