Longtime listeners must have known, deep in their hearts -- for the final episode of Talking Games, Tim, Clayton, and Kellen lay bare the joys of Suikoden II. What better way to go out? Thanks everybody for listening. We appreciate you. 

In the penultimate episode of this podcast, Tim, Clayton, and Kellen rank their favorite titles since this show began in 2011! Their #1 pick probably won't surprise you, but who's to say about #2-10?? Thanks so much to Cards Against Humanity and the Chicago Podcast Coop for sponsoring us!

It's the throwaway bit that turned into three full episodes. This week, the TG lads say goodbye forever to Talking Musicals with its final installment, a discussion of Thoroughly Modern Millie with guest Nicole Vespa! Only two episodes left, dawgs.  Thanks so much to Cards Against Humanity and the Chicago Podcast Coop for their continued support!

Only four episodes remain before Talking Games says goodbye. This week, our boys look ahead to the future of probably their favorite game genre. We'll cover titles like Persona, Mass Effect, Witcher, and more! Don't cry yet; we've got some discussin' to get to! Thanks so much to Cards Against Humanity and the Chicago Podcast Coop for helping this show happen!

Talking Games is back, and they're covering a couple of the largest franchise releases of the past month. First, Tim recaps his experience with the newest Mass Effect title, and then Clayton digs into the experience of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Is it as awesome as people say?? Well, Clayton is a people -- see what he thinks! Thanks to Cards Against Humanity and the Chicago Podcast Coop for sponsoring as always!

This week on Talking Games, the lads chat about the new hotness known as Horizon Zero Dawn, and Tim recounts his virtual reality experiences with a George Saunders novel. Tim and George are BFFs, if you didn't know. Thanks to Cards Against Humanity and the Chicago Podcast Coop for sponsoring this episode!

The Nintendo Switch drops this Friday. Who's excited? Will you still be excited after listening to this episode?? Who can say! But maybe Tim, Clayton, and Kellen aren't as amped on the Switch as the rest of the world. Hmmm... Thanks to Cards Against Humanity and the Chicago Podcast Coop for sponsoring the show!

Between his job, his social life, and his wonderful work for Chicago Loot Drop, Mike Chuck keeps busy. That's why he enjoys games that repeat themselves -- that follow simple variations on a theme over and over. Games like Majora's Mask or Dead Rising have entertained millions for hours -- and now we're going to entertain the lot of you by talking about them for one hour! Thanks to Cards Against Humanity and the Chicago Podcast Coop for sponsoring the show! And definitely take a look at Loot Drop's next event, building comfort kits for kids at Comer Children's Hospital. 

This week, Tim, Clayton, and Kellen discuss the creepy, moody, altogether excelled Inside, the latest puzzle-platformer from studio Playdead (who brought us Limbo a couple years ago). Listen to this one in the dark. Unless you're driving or something. That's a terrible idea.

On this week's Very Special Episode, host Tim and his SO Lisa Burton dive into the game that's become their current obsession, Stardew Valley (they're even playing it while they record this episode!!).  Thanks so much to Cards Against Humanity for sponsoring this ep and to the Chicago Podcast Coop for its continued support. 

This week, the Talking Games farewell tour continues with the return of one of our classic features -- Talking Musicals! Tim, Clayton, and Kellen dissect the recent hit LA LA LAND and dive into the crushing defeat of trying to do anything creative. Fun! Thanks to our sponsor for this week's episode, Cards Against Humanity, and thanks of course to the Chicago Podcast Coop!

On this week's Very Special Episode of Talking Games, Tim, Clayton, and Kellen share some of their favorite memories of doing the podcast. The countdown to the final episode continues! Thanks Cards Against Humanity for sponsoring this episode, and thanks as always to the Chicago Podcast Coop for being around!

This week, the Talking Games boys look forward to some of their most anticipated games of 2017. From Detroit: Become Human to (hopefully!) Red Dead Redemption 2 to the Final Fantasy VII remake, we're talking about probably some of the only escapes from the misery the next year is sure to hold for you! Thanks Cards Against Humanity for sponsoring this episode, and thanks to the Chicago Podcast Coop as always!

We love year-end best-of discussions! Love 'em! This week, Tim, Clayton, Kellen, and special guest John Patrick Coan bandy about their choices for game of the year. We'll discuss Overwatch, Doom, No Man's Sky, and even Pokemon Go! Two of those titles are discussed pretty derisively, though. Guess which ones! Thanks to Iron Galaxy for sponsoring this week's episode and thanks as always to the Chicago Podcast Coop!

Once upon a time, right before Talking Games became a Nerdologues podcast, the wonderful John Sabine came by the show to talk about one of his favorite gaming franchises, Civilization. As part of our farewell tour, he's back to talk about the newest entry in the series!  Thanks to the Harold Ramis Film School for sponsoring this episode, and thanks of course to the Chicago Podcast Coop for existing!

You guys heard of Final Fantasy XV? It's a pretty big release I guess. This week, Tim alone (no Clayton! no Kellen!) begins the Talking Games farewell tour with returning champ Aaron Amendola to discuss their experiences with the game! Thanks for kicking off our goodbyes, Aaron. You rock! Thanks also to Emporium for sponsoring this episode and to the Chicago Podcast Coop for existing. 

No ep this week, just a big announcement on the show from Tim Dunn. 

Talking Games hosts Kellen and Tim are so excited and honored to bring a totally fresh face to this podcast. Please join us in welcoming Clayton Margeson as he brings a favorite gaming franchise, Dark Souls, to the table in this Very Special Episode. Plus, marvel at Tim's new baritone voice! Thanks to the Harold Ramis Film School for sponsoring this episode and to the Chicago Podcast Coop for making that sponsorship happen. 

Do you romanticize a life of organized crime? Even if you do, you might not like Mafia 3! This week, guest Sean Peezick joins Clayton and Kellen to discuss the new game and its many shortcomings. I guess you'll have to act out your violent urges through some other digital medium. But no matter what, we can say for sure that this episode is certainly Timless.  Thanks to Cards Against Humanity for sponsoring us this week!
