    Episode 69: 10 Years of The Used Gamers? Nice.

    Happy 10th Anniversary, Gamers! Mike returns from the dead (just kidding, but he is in Texas now) to join Chris to play catch up on what they've been up two in the last few years since they last recorded together. Mike lives that PC life and talks about his extended adventures in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous (as well as being a good dad and playing some Lego Marvel Super Heroes 2 with his daughter), Chris gets old school with RetroArch on the Xbox and blows up robot dinosaurs (again) in Horizon Forbidden West, they both talk about not playing Overwatch 2, and we speculate about a few things we're looking forward to for 2023.  Is this the last episode ever? The start of a whole new chapter of the show? Only time (and Mike's wifi) will tell!  Theme Song: "White Knighting" by Comptroller (http://www.cmptrllr.co.uk)

    Episode 68: 15 Months in 60 Minutes

    Juuuuuuuust made it under the wire on this one! Chris here, flying solo for the first, last, and only episode of The Used Gamers Podcast for 2021. With our 10-year anniversary next October I couldn't let us go an entire calendar year without a new episode, so here it is: me talking for an hour straight about the (checks notes) 30 games I played to completion across 10 different systems over the past 15 months. That's a lot of pixels.  And no, that's not counting the 4 different times I beat Super Mario Bros.  Happy New Year everyone!! If you'd like to see anything next year on the show, email us at theusedgamers@gmail.com - I'm about 65% sure that's still a functional address!

    Episode 67: New Gen Deets!

    Mike and Chris sit down for a relaxing evening of discussing games both old and new. We talk about a LOT of games we've been playing (Shadow of War, Fall Guys, Chimera Squad, Gears Tactics, Wasteland 3, Super Mario Bros All-Stars, Donut County, Little Nightmares, Close to the Sun, Control, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Mortal Shell), as well as our thoughts about the newly announced release dates, prices, and offerings for the Xbox Series X, the Xbox Series S, and the PS5s. "PS5s" sounds dumb, but it's accurate, so we're sticking with it.  Theme: "White Knighting" by Comptroller (http://www.cmptrllr.co.uk)

    Episode 63: The Pandemic Special

    Socially-distanced co-hosts Chris and Mike discuss video games in the midst of the COVID-19 global pandemic, how their gaming habits have changed with their new work-from-home lifestyles and how the industry has been affected.  Take care out there everyone: stay at home, wash your hands, and come help us take back Washington, DC in The Division 2.  Theme: "White Knighting" by Comptroller (http://www.cmptrllr.co.uk)
