    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

    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.

    The 'Pick 3' Situation is Crazy

    Much like how everything is crab, everything in games seems to increasingly be 'Pick 3'...well, not EVERYTHING, but it sure is becoming prevalent. You level up, 3 options appear, you pick 1, and then play for another minute until you have to pick 3 again. When it's great, it's fantastic, but as it becomes more pervasive will the charm wear off?
