This week Hunter and newcomer Shelton Brister sit down to talk about the darkest game in OGA history. A twisted weirdo post-apocalyptic point-and-click written by Harlan Ellison. It's a lot but this game invites a lot of interesting discussion even if that discussion requires some pretty serious content warnings.

The show is back! We've got a new theme song and a whole new style of episode. Expect new weekly episodes going forward but for this first week I've gone solo in celebration of the 30 year US anniversary of my beloved Playstation. This episode is basically just me (Hunter) reading a listicle I wrote ranking the 11 launch titles for the PS1 and even though I have a lot of love for this era of gaming, most of my short blurbs are me making fun of these old games so enjoy that or not, next week I'll be back with something more traditional for you.   To see the most up to version of The OGA 100, visit https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XOZBL48AWviFJGFpafwne6DXT5t08Rhu0YlKkleRjT4/edit?usp=sharing THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS IF YOU ARE LISTENING TO OLDER EPISODES.   Music by nightcorey. https://soundcloud.com/nightcorey  Consider contributing to our show on Patreon.

The week the boys embark on a new project. Our four friends (Matt, Hunter, EJ, and Sun) will take turns choosing games for the other boys to play. The panel will then go play the required game and report back when finished! For this inaugural episode the boys spin a wheel and find out what game they will be playing first.

And we're back with another Tournament bracket to determine what is the GOTY for 2024. In this episode the full panel of Matt, Hunter, Sun, and EJ will discuss 16 games and it somehow takes even longer than the 1994 episode took! Next week we'll decide which year was best but for now let's reflect on the year that has just ended and determine where OGA will plant its' flag for which game truly deserves to be crowned the very best.

Both of our GOTY's for this year were supposed to be one episode but we finally realized that that episode would be 6 hours long and so we've split it up! This week, 16 of the best games from 1994 go head to head until we determine which of them was the best. SEGA vs Nintendo. RPGs vs Action games. There's a lot to cover! Next week, the 1994 GOTY will compete with the 2024 GOTY to determine, once and for all, which year was best...

This week the boys are tired because they recorded all of the episodes in one night but we still get a lot of good talk into this one. We're talking about all the random 2024 games we didn't get to this year either because we didn't play it, didn't finish it, or just didn't get it into the podcast schedule! It's a fun one. In the opening Hunter calls his friend a "dumb guy" but I want you to know it was meant with love.  See you again soon for our goty episode and the re-ranking of the list episode!

This episode opens with discussion of PULP FICTION, which has notably never been discussed on a podcast by boys before so get ready for that. The rest of the episode is a silly romp where the boys round up some of the games they didn't have time for that came out thirty years ago. EJ throws some joke entries in there, and Sun gets confused about the rules. It's a classic!

This episode is a lot of fun. Listen to Matt, Hunter, EJ, and Sun as they draft their picks to decide the game of the year for 1994 and 2024. Later this month their draft picks will face off to decide which is best but for now the boys recap both years and this project generally. It's the first part in what will be a four part finale run with all boys present! Also EJ had two of his wisdom teeth removed earlier today. So there is that.
