Season 19, Episode 33

Long live the indies indeed. That’s how I ended the last show post here before our little week vacation. And in that time I’ve played pretty much nothing but indie titles. Specifically Clover Pit and Ball X Pit. These two games alone dominated not only my time gaming but my off time thinking about them. […]

Show note: There’s no show next week. I failed to mention that until the VERY end of this episode. We’ll be back on October 25th. I wouldn’t say that I’m worried about the future of my hobby. I don’t expect a crash like in the early 80s or whenever that was. I think I’m just […]

It’s been a VERY long time since we’ve done an interview on the show but given the game he made, I couldn’t pass up talking to Aaron Gwynaire. He’s a solo developer and his new game “Neyyah” released last month and has been doing quite well. It’s his first game, took him seven long years […]

I don’t know that I would call it a complaint, but saying we have too many video games sure seems like a good problem to have – for the player. But having too much of anything is almost certainly going to, at least, end up being bad. I don’t know when we might see the […]

Surprise! Tariffs make things more expensive. I actually didn’t have to finish writing that. The whole smart document thing saw “tariffs make things…” and it completed the rest of it. So yeah, now we’ve got the second price hike in 6 months for Microsoft consoles. We’re at a point where if you bought a Series […]

We’d planned to bring you one of our first interviews in I don’t know how many years but some technical issues have pushed that through to next week. We’ll be talking with Aaron Gwynaire about his new game NEYYAH. As for today’s show, it’s a lot about Nintendo. Both with their Nintendo Direct held on […]

It’s been a few weeks and in that time I seemed to have found some games to actually put some time into. Nothing new, of course, but given I haven’t played them yet, they’re new to me. Recently I finished Astro’s Playroom. This was a pack-in title with the PS5. A console purchased in November […]

Just a note for the show – Labor Day is next week here so we won’t be back live until September the 6th. With Gamescom come and gone we’re sort of set for the year on upcoming releases. I mean, there’s plenty of releases to come but I don’t see anything too surprising to show […]

It’s not unlike us from time to time to sort of stray off topic for a little bit. And by “us”, I mean “me”. And that’s the case early in this episode and throughout as I try and remember the very first comic book I ever read. At some point I’m going to have to […]

Still haven’t found a game to hold my attention in recent weeks and now, seemingly, months it feels like. I have a lot of quick games I play. Little things that I can spend however much time I want with them and back out whenever. But nothing on a story driven basis or anything like […]
