Sidequests - Ep. 24 - Arcade Cabs, Obscure Console Variants, Typing of the Dead, and Other Games

We profusely apologize for cheating on MoCon with Midwest Gaming classic before very loosely breaking the seal on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and discover just how much fun it is to have no idea what to do in Dragon's Dogma 2.

Join us moose deep in the dick shed for a slide through the wet mess we've left behind from gushing over Helldivers 2, the Elden Ring DLC, and Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, all while stopping off for a trip through Bulletstorm.

We convene to talk about the recent Sony State of Play... and almost forget to talk about it as we get sidetracked by purchasing too many of one game, Tekken 8, MoCon planning, and Zack's steady march towards taking over Dan's coveted title.

Thanks to Dan for killing the show with his horrible recommendation last year, we are once again cocked, locked, and back on the retro horse so Zack can finally gush over Ninja Gaiden Black.

It's the one you've been waiting for - the GOTY show is here! Strap in, strap on, strap it all about for our top 10 games we played in 2023!

Zack joins Eric from his newly assembled game room, but forgets to turn on his good mic to talk about the Steam Deck, simulation racing, some anticipated games coming in 2024, and subtly allude to a secret that Dan has.

With Tom out of action from a cream induced migraine, Zack tells us all about his freshly shaven cave, we learn how to type properly from Typing of the Dead, discuss obscure console variants, and try to unravel the intricacies of two day weddings.

Professor Dick Physics makes his long-anticipated debut, and Dan's back as well to discuss what we've been playing, what we're looking forward to, and the awful story of the demise of Dan's PS5.

Huh? What day is it?? Where have we been?! Are we still idiots...? Eric, Tom, and Zack reconvene to recap 4 months of gaming that includes such gems as Sea of Stars, Dave the Diver, 30xx, Mario Wonder, Gallon Cheesequake 2, Gran Turismo 7, and more before absolutely hauling off on the galactic disappointment that is Starfield.

Another year, another MoCon... but this time we are coming to you from the hotel room! (Fair warning, there are audio issues). Eric and Zack are joined by listeners Cody and Matt as we recap the weekend's exploits across St. Louis including yet another horrifying hotel room, a toddler beauty pageant, new Lord of the Rings heroes, Mega Man tinder swiping, and a very couth, yet revolting mattress. Oh... and buying games. LOTS of games.
