Gaming Tangents

First off, Menji would like to apologize for his weird skipping audio. I promise it won't happen again. In this episode however, we have a lengthy discussion about what we've been playing lately followed by a very entertaining challenge were we pitch terrible Hollywood-style Video Game movie adaptations. Not gonna lie, one of these ideas actually turns out to be pretty great!

Spooky time is here again! We're talking with scare actor extrodanaire, Rick Creeper, about this love for games, scary or otherwise! Come join us on a digital journey down the pixel-brick road with this horrifying haunter!

Maverick's throwing down the soap box and taking a stand as he finally let's Street Fighter V know exactly how he feels about it. Then a very in-depth synopsis on the finale of The Last of Us 2 and thoughts on the controversies surrounding the title. Get your maverick hats on!

This is the episode where we look at trailers. Trailers. Trailers. Trailers as I was gonna call it. But then I didn't. Xbox Series X presentation, Nintendo's Direct Mini, Ubisoft and, the best damned presentation on the planet: Devolver Digital. There's also more Last of Us 2 talk and Menji gives a bit of insidery news about the Midnight Ghost Hunt alpha test. Last of Us 2 Spoiler Time Stamp: 13:32 - 18:30

Now! Finally! We talk about all the trailers that have dropped over the last month and boy, it's a doozy. But not before we wax philosophical on movies and TV.  Last of Us 2 Spoiler Time Stamp: 30:30 - 37:40

It's E3 time which means normally the air would be palpable with hype and fresh trailers. Well, E3 is AWOL this year but the hype and trailers are in full effect. It's time to talk about the Playstation 5 reveal and the state of E3's future. 

We're back to finish off this 30 day music challenge and boy are our stomachs full of musical goodness. We now present to you 60 glorious songs for your listening enjoyment!

We back! Just like we promised! It's a long session of what are we playing lately mixed with Who Can Tangent harder. We talk more about Mario Maker 2, Battle Royale games, retro graphics and Final Fantasy. Then it's on to the new Unreal 5/PS5 tech demo.

It's another long hiatus but if there's anything that a worldwide pandemic can do, it's resurrect dormant podcasts. As Menji and Maverick return, the next generation of consoles looms on the horizon and we discuss the latest information on the X Box Series X

WE'RE BACK, BABY! After a long hiatus we're back and what better time to return than where we started: E3! We're getting into the E3 announcements we loved and also the ones that left us scratching our heads. Notable entries include Cyberpunk 2099, Deathloop, 12 Minutes, Ghostwire Tokyo, Midnight Ghost Hunt and the unveiling of the new Intellivision Amico system. Oh, and there is a quick Avengers: End Game spoiler discussion that you can skip ahead to 15:36 if you haven't seen it yet.

It's Halloweentime again and the guys are taking time to pay tribute to one of the greatest fighting franchises of all time: Dalkstalkers. We also introduce a new segment to the show: Voice Over Do-Overs.

The boys are back in town! It's been a while but we're back. With plenty to talk about, let's just get right into it. 

Maverick returns after a short stint on SOME OTHER podcast to talk about things other than PacMan World 3. It's time to get quackin' (sorry I had to) on the new Duck Tales series. Along with that, the guys dig into the new King of Fighters anime.

Footage was lost. Choices were made. Perhaps it's time to listen to something a bit more...refined. 

Rich Returns yet again for a Homecoming of Ultimate proportions! While Maverick takes some time off, Menji and Rich discuss Spiderman Homecoming, D23 news and the new Castlevania animated series.

Rich is back as we deal with loss and frustration in our continuing adventures in the world of The Last of Us. We also talk about the announcement of the SNES Classic and Maverick has a few choice words for the events that transpired at this year's VidCon.  ...I'm not saying anymore than that.

E3 has showered us with a new promise of awesome games on the horizon and we're diving deep into the hype to talk the highs, lows and even controversies surrounding everyone's favorite gaming event. Grab a drink and a sandwich, cause this is gonna be a long one!

It's another live studio team-up as Menji, Maverick and special guest, Rich, gather at Menji studios to reflect on the pre-E3 lull and start a new chapter in the saga of The Last of The Last of Us. SPOILER WARNING...SPOILER WARNING...SPOILER WARNING! You've been warned!

It's time to get mobile as we talk about the magic and convenience of handheld consoles throughout the years. Prepare your collection of rechargable batteries!

It's the episode in which our heroes talk about video games. Oh you want more specifics? We're talking Overwatch, Mario Kart, Heroes of the Storm and an update on Sea of Theives. And then, we do the unthinkable! We talk about...SPORTS GAMES! DUN DUN DUN!
