Sidequests - Ep. 27 - State of Play & Tekken 8

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.

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!
