Summer Game Fest 2024: Everything You Need to Know
It's that time of year, D-Pads!
The summer is upon us and that means one thing: new game announcements!
While we're still a bit upset about the passing of E3, Summer Game Fest and its satellite showcases have done a great job picking up where it left off.
This week we sit down to discuss all of our favourite trailers and announcements from Summer Game Fest, Xbox Games Showcase, Sony's State of Play, Devolver Direct, and more!
Let us know which trailers we missed, and which games you're most excited about!

Gamer Shame
Time for confession, D-Pads!
This week we sit down to discuss our biggest "Gamer Shames."
Sure, we've played a lot of games over our lives, but every so often we find ourselves ashamed of our own habits. Whether it's a franchise we've never actually played, a game we hate which others seem to love, or a lie we've told others to make ourselves feel better: we're here to unleash it all on you!
We also took some responses from the community and the results were... unnerving.

Will you Game in your 80's? (Listener Questions Part 4)
Pencils down, D-Pads!
We've received your questions and comments and have built up a backlog rivaling that of our unplayed video games. We figured we'd take a week to plow through some of the unanswered listener questions which we've been sitting on!
Will we be gaming as old folks? Do we have any peripherals or games we REALLY regret selling? Which games made us go from hating them to loving them, or vice versa?
Plus: Mikey restarted Sekiro, and Andrew might be getting over Fortnite!

What's Wrong with Sports Video Games? (...and how to fix them)
Hut hut, D-Pads!
Today we take to the gridiron... and the rink... and the court... all from the comfort of our gaming chairs as we discuss the current state of Sports Video Games!
As two lifelong gamers with a heavy appreciation of their sporting counterparts, we wanted to check in on where the industry is at. Are games like MLB: The Show, NHL, NBA 2K, and Madden better now than they were 10 years ago?
If not, where did they go wrong?

Crow Country (PC / Xbox / PS5)
Time travel back to 1990, D-Pads!
This week we tried out the game that's taking PS1 era survival horror fans by storm: Crow Country!
While it only came out recently, this game feels like it was pulled directly from the 1990s. It's a loving homage to the likes of Silent Hill and Resident Evil, but given the improvements we've made in mechanics and graphics since then, is there really room in our libraries for a game like this?
Join us as we discuss our impressions of the game based on the demo.
Make sure to catch our full gameplay segment where we play through the entire Crow Country demo here: https://youtu.be/ffT6CcgTHxQ

Fallout on Prime Spoilercast
TV Never Changes, D-Pads!
This week we wrap up our conversation about Fallout on Prime by recapping the final 4 episodes, and giving our thoughts on whether or not the show ultimately stuck the landing.
Is the Fallout TV Show worth preserving in a cold-war era vault? Or is it just a mutated version of the video game?
Make sure you've listened to our first Fallout TV episode where we recap the first 4 episodes and give some initial impressions.
