Roman Buetel and Mikaela Jones, two friends with an unbreakable bond and unconditional love, talk about video games, the people who make them, and the people who play them.

Sonic Summer: Tails and the Music Maker (w/Kaleb Grine)
Welcome to Sonic Summer, a series devoted to talking about the speediest, blurriest, spin-offiest Sonic the Hedgehog media we can get our white gloved hands on! And who better to talk about some weird Sonic stuff than our good buddy, and resident Hedgehog mega fan, Kaleb?! When we asked him he wanted to start the whole thing he said Tails and the Music Maker and we said: Okay. Then he said it was for the Sega Pico, remember the Sega Pico, and we said: Sure, Man. And the rest, as they say in the podcast industry, was content. Sit back, grab a (non-expired) chili dog, and enjoy us talking about a video game that tricks you into going to school.

Like a Dragon: Ishin! & The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live (w/Matthew Rao)
Michaela thought this was just going to be another episode...another walk in the freakin park...but nope! Roman had other plans! This ain't your grandma's Surprise Mechanics! She thought she could get away with just talking about Like a Dragon: Ishin! and Roman would be normal about it. Maybe he would talk about Helldivers or some b******t comic book he read, but nope! He had to go SICKO MODE and do something TWISTED. Matthew Rao makes a surprise appearance and from there...well let's just say it gets preeeetttyyyy interesting, okay? That's right: they go all in on The Walking Dead. I'm talking Rick, I'm talking Michonne, and zombies? Uhhhh yeah, we're talking about those too! Is anybody out there? Does anybody care? wth is a Def Leppard anyway?
