Mooglecast, Episode 19 | Me, Halo and a Pizza | Our Most Anticipated Games of 2026

Warmest of Welcomes everyone This month on the Mooglecast myself (Max) and Zac are joined by Trophy Room patron Katieeee to talk about all things 2026 but not without first feeling our bones ache by acknowledging some of the great games that turn 10 years old this year! So happy birthyear Dishonored 2, Dark Souls 3, Overwatch, Final Fantasy XV and Pokemon GO. For the preshow Katie kicks us off by sharing her experiences and approach to streaming, followed by our usual run of platinum shoutouts and a series spotlight on DOOM, from there we insert a new segment into the show titled Cactuar Vs Tonberry where myself and Zac kick off our friendly comp for the year. The main Meat & Potatoes of the show are taken up by what we've been playing and of course our main topic discussing our top 5 most anticipated games of 2026. Enjoy the first show of 2026 and we'll see you next month, but until then... be excellent to each other. Max

PS Plus Game Club - Episode 37: Somerville

To kick off the new year Brady (FatePrime) joins the show to talk about Somerville, the first game from the indie studio Jumpship. Many on the Jumpship development team come from another indie studio, Playdead, who were famous for making Limbo and Inside, so you might recognize many elements of those famous games here. To start the show Both Kevin and Brady describe what made those early games so special and how they see the DNA of them in Somerville. Then they cover some of the puzzles that either fascinated or frustrated them and some of their favorite story moments in a semi-spoilery fashion. Near the end Brady reveals a theory that helps make sense of all five possible endings and what they mean for the overall story of the game. We wish you a happy new year and hope you enjoy this discussion about just a regular guy trying to survive an alien invasion in Somerville.

Trophy Talk Podcast - Episode 140: The Age of Enlightenment

Hello one and all, and happy new year! In this, our first episode of 2026, Josh and Colin gather around the proverbial hearth to discuss our lofty goals and dreams for the year ahead. Will this year finally be the year of the backlog? What game purchases and trophy hunts are must buys for us? What games are we looking forward to the most? We touch on all of these topics (many of which are also touched on from our Patreon write ins), and also give some thoughts on more personal goals for the year regarding parenthood, fitness, and life in general. Before all of that though, we begin the episode with a look back at our PlayStation Wrap Up for 2025. These statistics are always interesting and provide valuable insight into just how our year went. It's easy to have an opinion about how your trophy hunts went throughout a calendar year but seeing statistics behind it really puts things in perspective. Whether that's Josh's mammoth amount of games played compared to Colin (even though there hours were not so different in total), or coming to an understanding of the average length of our play sessions, this is all good stuff to dig into and dissect. The episode is rounded out with a great discussion about the various games we've been playing as well as some Plat shout outs pulled directly from our Discord. We hope that you enjoy this first episode of the new year, it's going to be a good one! Happy gaming, and take care all!

Surviving The Horror - Episode 20: Alien Rogue Incursion Part 1

Join Colin and Josh as they break down the newest video game in the Alien franchise. In a Surviving the Horror first, Josh and Colin had two very different experiences with the game as Josh played on PSVR2 and Colin played on the newest PS5 flatscreen version. Like most episodes, we go in-depth with our personal histories of the Alien franchise, gameplay mechanics, story beats, lore thoughts and discussion on the ending. While this game was more "action-focused" than we thought it would be, we both agree that it was a solid entry into the world of Alien and it has definitely piqued our interest for Part 2. Join us and let us know your thoughts about Alien.

Mooglecast, Bonus Episode 5 | My Bass Player is Temu Spiderman | No Topic Vol 1

Warmest of Welcomes everybody and Merry Christmas The end of the year is a time of relaxation and good company and what better way to celebrate the 2025 christmas break than to have an episode dedicated to just that. Myself (Max) and Zac have given it our all over the first full year of Mooglecast and we thought we'd challenge ourselves to give you guys a full 2hr episode of freestyle, the topic? NO TOPIC! The first of what we hope will be many general chatter! We often start the recording session by having the best conversations before we even hit record and we decided to nip this in the bud and hit record as soon as we got into the call for that extra bit of authenticity! As far as what subjects are brought up, we talk about our moments of being starstruck, a controversial bass player, holiday plans for 2026 and of course a sprinkle of gaming related crap. In January we will be returning to our usual 3rd sunday slot joinned by newcomer to the Discord - Katieeee, but not before our 2nd xmas gift to you in the form of an extra bonus episode where I will be rejoined by Maurice for part 2 of our Guitar Hero special, but for now we hope you enjoy this special episode! Be Merry to eachother.
