    Why do people leak video games?

    In enthusiast spaces, video game leaks are as common as water. Why do people leak things? When is it okay, when is it not? Why do people follow it so fervently and get so emotionally invested in how they pan out?

    Games with weird fanbases

    Fanbases are great! Passionate, kind, lovely people showing their support and loyalty to the things they enjoy. However...a lot of the weird, toxic, strange, offputting, and detestable stuff tends to rise to the top. Today, we honor the latter. While also finally giving the official Super Drunkey Ball rules. That matters more.

    9 things we want from Spyro A Realm Beyond

    Spyro A Realm Beyond didn't give us MUCH to go on...but it certainly gave us enough to think about to begin hoping for what it could be. From the new flight mechanics, the presentation, the potential minigames...we wanted to talk about what we do, and don't, want from the return of the classic Spyro formula.

    The case for an Austin Powers video game (and Austin Powers 4)

    With 007 First Light releasing to rave reviews, and with us not having played it...we decided to weather the Summer Game Fest storm and do what we do best. Show up without an actual plan for an episode and wing it. However, we have a compelling case for why IO Interactive should ditch Amazon and instead make an Austin Powers game next. We also solve the decades-long question...what should Austin Powers 4 be about? We also finally discuss Grand Theft Auto 6 in this episode, so we are a topical gaming podcast finally.

    Reacting to YOUR Metal Gear Solid hot takes!

    Should MGS continue without Kojima? Should Platinum make another Rising? Should MGS inform your political opinions? We cover a lot of ground, but in a stealthy way, like if we crawled through the mud and a bunch of grass while waiting for guards to move for 5 minutes.
