Ahead of the holiday season, let’s look back at a brief history of Krampus, the anti-Santa.  Listen to all the episodes of The History of Fun on Apple or Pocketcasts.

Simone de Rochefort wasn’t allowed to play violent games growing up, so GoldenEye 007 on the N64 – one of the very first first-person-shooter games – wasn’t exactly her parents’ cup of tea. This week we’ll return to History of Fun’s deep dive on how one of the most popular games of our childhood was developed. Listen to all the episodes of The History of Fun on Apple or Pocketcasts.

Let’s revisit the story of Neopets, the craze that swept the internet. In today’s episode, we’ll revisit Allegra’s penchant for Neopet theft, as well as the connections between Neopets and Scientology. Enjoy!

This week we’re talking about a HORRIBLE BOSS FIGHT in Remedy’s Control, and Allegra’s rollicking good time in Ring Fit Adventure! Chelsea has also been playing Outer Worlds and What the Golf and you’ll never guess which one she hasn’t been enjoying, oh dear.

Brian David Gilbert joins The Polygon Show this week and tries to convince Simone and Allegra to play Hideo Kojima's latest game, Death Stranding. Spoiler Alert: it's BONKERS.

Pokemon Go is having its Halloween event, and we’re helping Allegra get a shiny Halloween Charmander. Next up, Luigi has a game, Mario has a game… what about Peach? We’re brainstorming what Peach’s first solo title should be. We also talk about the new Star Wars trailer and a little game called Islanders.

Everyone is sick as heck, so Chelsea was joined by Jenna and Polygon’s Emily Heller. Emily talked about the very good dog who is also a decorated war hero in Wargroove. Chelsea talked Luigi’s Mansion 3, and the gang discussed Halloween events good and bad (Overwatch, Two Dots) as well as more seasonally appropriate scary movies.

This week we’ve got a batch of Jeff Ramos Approved indie games that are a delight to play!
