Back to Backlog

It's a new year and we're putting our best foot forward. Watch Sam and Lindsay suffer just a little as we play games starting with the letter "A'.

What's the difference between Roguelite vs roguelike games? Think no further! Sam and Lindsay define and try out both types of games with varying levels of enthusiasm.

🎼 We drum, shoot, and tap to the beat ♪ of these uniquely varied rhythm games. 𝄇

We actually dive into our backlogs, talking about indie and smaller games!

You know what we did instead of playing the transphobe's wizard game? Played a bunch of trans-positive ones!

In this episode, we played what we wanted! No theme or rules, just video games.

We chat about the games that most get us into the Halloween season, the lighter side of things: "spoopy".  These games are as harmless as candy-corn and as colorful as a group of trick-or-treaters.

Grab your plastic guitars, plug in your AR webcams, gather your wiimote babies, and lock-and-load those light-guns! These games have a strict requirement that you play with more than the usual gamepads.

The ability to self-publish a game has changed how games are made over the past decade. It's no longer only big developers who can be successful and we talk about some classic indie titles that paved the way for today's modern gamer.

Hark, weary traveller! Come on in from the monster-filled grasslands and take comfort at our affordably-HP-recovering inn. Let us spin you a tale and explain the battle system for many a Japanese-styled Role-Playing Game! We did a lot of research and remembering for this one, so it's an extra-long episode! Only fitting, for the topic at hand. Special cover art by Emma Sarette.

Sam and Lindsay talk about the new handheld console from Valve

In this episode, Sam and Lindsay chat about games based on movies, books, and tv shows!

Digital creatures are on their own devices and on your gaming consoles. The V-Pets are here and demand our attention, so you'll hear all about them: from Tamagotchi and Digimon to Chao and Chocobo.

Ever wonder how to play the older games you're nostalgic for? Or maybe the price of the original game is too high or hard to find. Explore how to emulate games with your hosts, Sam and Lindsay!

We discuss which future games are on our wish lists.  These are titles which have been announced, but just aren't here yet, and generally don't have solid release dates, but we're pining for them anyway - maybe even more so because of that!

After a long day what's better than curling up on the couch and playing a relaxing video game? In this episode we talk about our favorite cozy games that help us unwind!
