MTG The 1-Year Anniversary Special feat. Scott!

To celebrate a whole year of retro trips down memory lane, Tanner and Kyle are throwing out the usual playbook and doing something completely new. For our massive one-year anniversary episode, we are joined by the legendary Scott—who is here to guide us through our very first foray into the multiverse of Magic: The Gathering! In this super-sized, extra-long celebration, we are diving headfirst into the card-collecting addiction. We settled in for a super-long, couch-style hangout episode where Scott teaches us the ropes and shares some fascinating facts about the game's history. Plus, we indulge in the ultimate nostalgia high—ripping open booster packs and experiencing that "new card smell." Finally, we face off in our inaugural match. Whether you're an old-school Planeswalker or have never touched a deck in your life, come celebrate one year of the podcast with us! Send your game recommendations here!

Ep.4 - Shadow of the Colossus

Tanner and Kyle finally cross "The Forbidden Lands" off their bucket list as they experience the 2005 Team Ico masterpiece for the very first time.

Does the minimalist storytelling still hold up in 2026? Join us for a journey of giant swords, tragic falls, and a very loyal horse named Agro. Send your game recommendations here!

Ep.1 - GTA III

We’re back! To kick off the third season of the show, Tanner and Kyle are diving into the 2001 masterpiece that defined the open-world genre: Grand Theft Auto III. From the moody atmosphere of Staunton Island to the "silent but deadly" nature of our lead character, we’re breaking it all down. Plus, we settle the long-standing debate: Does the protagonist's name actually sucks? Tanner and Kyle share their theories on why "Claude" might (or might not) fit the bill. BIG ANNOUNCEMENT: We are launching a brand-new series called First Impressions! You can now head over to our YouTube channel to watch us play through these classics for the very first time.
