In the epic season finale, Jeff pitches a new game: Quitting the show! He talks about this episode will be his last, and how it's it's been a fun ride these last few years. Shocking Twist: It's not a game! We say goodbye in the form a epic Vampire fantasy about relationships and loss.
Live. Die. Return - al. This week we talk Returnal, pop open the mailbag for a quick Fall Guys movie pitch, and then Matt and Daanish work trough their issues with the Chrono Trigger's criminal justice system. Also, the glorious return of "Sonic Stories" - the occasional segment where he hear a traumatic story from Matt's childhood involving Sonic the Hedgehog, and stay tuned after the credits to hear Dan's Airing of Grievances.
We talk board game minis, cosplay, and video game movies, and then Jeff pitches a ridiculous idea on how to reimagine the MetroidVania genre that would never work - except we kinda make it work!
This week we discuss how Fall Guys players don't know how Basketball works, Zoom comedy clubs, and horses peeking through windows. For the main pitch, Matt brings us an entry in an under-represented genre: the time brawler.
In the most meta-episode of the show yet, we have a conversation about a conversation-based game, and prove out in real-time that we would lose at it. Badly. Stay tuned after the credits to hear a heart-warming story about friendship.
We talk about our failed pre-SSMT podcast ventures, post quarantine movie-going, then dive into one of the wildest game ideas we've done yet... AFTER we completely ignore Jeff's initial pitch and do something completely different.
This week we discuss Monster Hunter Rise, the Cyberpunk patch, and quality-of-life-gadgets. Then Matt pitches a game where you a vigilante monster, or maybe just pretending to be a monster, and maybe not even a vigilante. Something to do with monsters.
It's a very musical episode this week! After Daanish covers some helpful vaccination pro-tips, Jeff talks PS5 Avengers then baffles Matt with music theory. After the credits, Daanish gets baffled by Bugsnax
Welcome to Someone Should Make This - your primary source for all NFT info and analysis. Also Loop Hero! Then Daanish comes up with a game pitch that may actually make the world a better place.
Jeff is back! He's survived numerous assassination attempts by a vile and heartless killer in the form of unregulated Texas infrastructure, and has lived to tell the tale. We also got a mailbag, and Matt pitches us a Ghostrunner expansion having never played the original.
Game Developer REACTS ... to the game we crafted for him last week. Hear Dan's thoughts on our Console Crossplay Crimes game. Then we craft an epic battle simulation of rocks, paper, and scissors. Also we Talk Valheim, Guilty Gear Strive, and the Quest 2
In this Valentine's Day episode, we craft a special gift for our one true love - once and future semi-regular rotating co-host, Dan! And it's a wild one - an idea that's never been done before and for good reason? We also talk Valheim, Souls-likes, and The Medium.
It's episode 100! Can you believe it, because we can't. We have a HUGE surprise in store for long time fans, but before we get to that, we talk Gamestop stocks with more authority than most - and that's actually not a joke, because we called this last year - like for real. Then we do a rapid fire 100th episode pitch spectacular, plus the return of a popular trivia segment!
This week we got Resident Evil Maiden, Hitman 3, and the return of The Adkins Report with very exciting developments and a brand new segment/game Gettin' Steamed. Then get ready for a pitch that will blow. you. away.
Matt's back and he's been hoarding all our mail! We got some good emails this week, a listener submitted pitch, and then we bust out the schematics, toy cars, and push-pins, because we're planning a ... Real Steal.
Time to ring in the new year with some high-energy superhero action! The gang comes up with a super take on the rougelike and tactics genre and Jeff sets the record state about Jubilee.
