Elden Ring and the Merits of Challenging Games

In today's rambling episode we talk about the greatest game of 2022 (so far). You may have heard of Elden Ring, it's the latest in a string of notoriously tough games from the friendly folks at From Software. Are these games bad for you, or should you "get gud?"

Animal Companions

We're back! It was Steph's fault you guys, all Steph. Chris definitely did his part and DEFINITELY didn't get sucked into Elden Ring and not edit a show for three long weeks. Anywho, today we're talking about our favorite animal companions in games. They're cute (sometimes), they're helpful (rarely), and they're not Pokemon (ever). Stop on by for our lively discussion of the best animal friends gaming has ever created.

We Can't Wait for the Steam Deck!

We're doing things a little differently today, instead of a specific game or genre, we're going to be talking about Valve's upcoming Steam Deck. It's a handheld PC that, if the specs are any indication, should be pretty powerful indeed. We are not sponsored or affiliate with Valve in any way, we're just nerds. Come join us as we discuss games we think will really shine on this powerhouse portable.

Our Favorite Short Games

This week Steph's back! We'll be talking about shorter games, bite-sized experiences that you can knock out in one or two sittings. Sometimes you don't want to jump into a huge 90 hour JRPG. Maybe you have a huge backlog of games and finishing one up would make you feel better about all those poor, neglected games in your library. Fire one of these up and feel accomplished with a minimum of effort. That's the way you do it!

In the second half, Chris suggests some excellent single-player games that capture the spirit of the season... and the terrible 90's movie tie-in game Home Alone for some reason.
