    S4E23 - The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

    What a strange episode. Matt AND Jacob sit this one out, but we get an old partner to step into their place for The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Join Joel, Jarin, Alex, and James as they test the limits of glazing a game with no adults around. Matt attempts to keep some sort of decorum through editor's notes, but the scores remain.

    S4E22 - Crash Tag Team Racing

    You asked, they delivered. In this episode Jacob and Joel make out hard. We also gently brush the surface of the vast ocean of Cat Dog lore, seeking the answer to the ultimate question, is Cat Dog a straw? Please do not attempt any Crash Tag Team Racing stunts discussed in this podcast. Consult with a doctor if you think Crash Tag Team Racing is right for you.

    S4E21 - Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

    Move aside Epstein's Island, because this week is all about Yoshi's Island! The boys discuss things that definitely happened. Jacob talks about life as an outlaw. Jarin secretly does something to prepare Jacob for fatherhood (what will it be!?). We also ask the question on everyone's mind, what if the Yoshis just ate Mario, would that be a better game?

    S4E19 - Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness

    A classic RTS for a classic group of fellas. We get into a very one-sided debate on the age-old question: Horde or Alliance? Matt gives it all in his back-of-the-box reading, Jarin brings up The Big Bang Theory, and we enjoy all that the first hour of Warcraft II has to offer. Listen to this episode in HIGH-FIDELITY Crystal-tek™ audio, ONLY on this platform, as a special gift to our listeners on this platform.  Send us a text Support the show https://linktr.ee/thefirsthourpodcast

    S4E18 - Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver

    Joel edited this one, and told me nothing about it. I'm guessing we talked about Soul Reaver, probably did a quiz and the Here to Help segment. Jarin maybe discusses the souls he has reaved in real life. Is Jarin even on this episode? I have no idea this one is a total mystery. I think we recorded it 6 months ago at least. Enjoy!

    S4E17 - Sonic Riders

    Jarin takes the lead in number of Sonic games picked with this weeks choice of Sonic Riders.  A Sonic game Matt hasn’t played? The boys dive into the wild soundtrack lyrics, dissect the finer points of Sonic character design, and revisit a legendary YouTube gem from the depths of the Sonic fandom. This episode totally sucks. I hated editing it. APRIL FOOLS — this one’s actually a banger. You’re in for a treat. Send a text Support the show https://linktr.ee/thefirsthourpodcast

    S4E16 - Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath

    The boys are bagging bounties right quick with this episode. Surprisingly it's Jacob keeping them on track and making this episode short short short for your listening pleasure. Listen to these zany guys talk about the first hour of the original Xbox console classic Oddworld Stranger's Wrath. Send us a text Support the show https://linktr.ee/thefirsthourpodcast
