Sidequests - Episode 32: Astro Bot and PS5 Pro

2024 was brimming with games. Many were played, some were loved, some were hated, and some were barely even turned on. These are our favorites.

Dip your Doritos in the toilet in celebration of our first four man show in months! Highlights include this year's GOTY show, an extended discussion on Legend of Dragoon, and Zack's obsession with Vampire Survivors.

Eric looks for empathy in all the wrong places as he admits to playing Cult of the Lamb on PSN instead of buying it while Zack savors his prediction for how long Eric could resist buying a PS5 Pro.

Like a stubborn houseplant that refuses to die, Eric and Zack continue to patiently wait for Dan and Tom to water them with their presence by talking about Silent Hill 2 and pressuring each other to buy things they honestly don't need.

Eric and Zack ponder the most efficient way to leave this mortal plane before fawning endlessly over the masterpiece that is Astro Bot and ragging on the absurdity of the PS5 Pro.

Eric and Zack branch out into the controversial world of Tree Law before waxing nostalgic about the inconsistent quality of early PS2 games by attempting to plow through Rygar: The Legendary Adventure.

It's that time of year again! Time for a bunch of grown men to descend upon St. Louis with no dietary restrictions, an overly-estimated tolerance for alcoholic beverages, and a complete disregard for any sort of budgetary constraints. That's right... it's MoCon!

Slather yourself up with piles cream as Dan returns to chat videogames with Zack and Eric. Highlights include Final Fantasy VII Rebirth ghost attacking, what to expect for games going forward, and the sensation known only as Sticky Vicky.

Eric and Zack scrape themselves to rag on Microsoft closing more studios and chat about passive gaming with Rusty's Retirement.

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.
