The Used Gamers Chris Jenkins

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!

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!

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.

The boys play catch up as Mike discusses the strategy games of the day, Chris gives a spoiler-free review of the Last of Us Part II and discusses his favorite demos from the recent Xbox Summer Games Fest, and they both offer their thoughts about the summer's games events from both Xbox and Sony on the eve of the launch of new consoles. So much game-y goodness!

Mike and Chris are BACK and gamier than ever! If you like games, we've got a lot of 'em for ya that we touch on: Hard Luck, Call of Duty: Warzone, CIV 6, Divinity Original Sin 2, Shadow Tactics: Blade of the Shogun, The Surge 2, Assassin's Creed Syndicate, and Death Stranding all get their time in the Podcast Sun. And if that weren't enough, we round things out with a beefy discussion about the good and the bad of modern video game reviews.

We're back! Chris sinks his teeth into the Surge 2 and mourns the loss of his DOA Xbox One X, Mike makes his way through The Banner Saga Trilogy in record time, and we wrap things up with a discussion about the "controversy" surrounding the Assassin's Creed Valhalla reveal, and what it says about the current state of games journalism and general internet outrage.
