Ep.6 - The Sims? Nah it's Fallout 3

We were supposed to be playing The Sims today, but instead, we got trapped in an underground bunker. Welcome to our Fallout 3 episode! Join Tanner and Kyle as Kyle experiences the Capital Wasteland for the absolute first time. We’re holding it up against our gold standard Skyrim to see how Bethesda's formula translates to guns and radiation. Plus, we dive deep into the absolute absurdity of the bottlecap economy and debate the iconic franchise thesis: Does war ever change? Send your game recommendations here!

Star Wars Prequel Movie Marathon

Hit pause on the early 2000s video games because today, we are traveling to a galaxy far, far away! In this special bonus episode, Tanner drags Kyle away from the controller and forces him onto the couch for an epic, back-to-back movie marathon of Star Wars: Episodes I, II, and III. But here’s the real kicker: This is Kyle’s first time ever watching these movies. That’s right. Kyle has somehow managed to survive decades of pop culture without witnessing pod racing, hearing the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise, or experiencing the absolute heartbreak of Mustafar. Will the high-flying lightsaber duels, early-2000s CGI, and political drama of the Galactic Senate turn Kyle into a lifelong Star Wars defender? Or will we finally discover that he’s been actively avoiding the franchise for a reason? Grab your popcorn, channel your inner Jedi, and join us for a wild ride filled with fresh-eyes commentary, Tanner’s relentless lore-dumping, and the ultimate verdict on the Prequel Trilogy. May the Force be with Kyle’s attention span. Send your game recommendations here! Include the game title and your name so we can give you a shoutout!

Ep. 5 - The Last of Us

In this episode, Kyle and Tanner brave the cordyceps-infested world of The Last of Us, but surviving the apocalypse is only half the battle. What starts as a deep dive into Joel and Ellie’s traumatic journey quickly spirals into a series of legendary tangents that only this duo could pull off. Between dodging Clickers and debating gameplay mechanics, the guys find themselves deconstructing the ethics of the death penalty, uncovering the bizarre reality of a werewolf sex hotline, and critiquing the latest round of movie trailers. Whether you’re here for the survival horror or the supernatural phone services, join us for a chaotic blend of high-stakes drama and absolute absurdity—just don’t expect us to stay on track for more than five minutes at a time.  Send your game recommendations here!

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. From the breathtaking scale of the first Colossus to the moral weight of Wander’s quest, we’re breaking down our initial impressions. Is the horse control actually charming or just chaotic? 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!
