It's a not so long December (see what we did there) list of games, but that just gives us time to tell you about the cool games that we are currently playing too. Our December games preview is happening now!

New Pilot Program is up! Episode 40 sees us dipping back into anime to watch 2014's Ping Pong The Animation (one of my all-time favs).

🎙 New Episode! 🎙

Bobby and Chase have a ton of new games and demos to talk about: Skate Story, Pokemon Legends Z-A, Digimon, Ball x Pit and even a Fire Emblem romhack that’s got Chase burning his hands. All that and more on this games-packed episode of The Casual Hour!

We cover a number of cool games, including Ghost of Yotei, Digimon Story: Time Stranger & Star Birds, and some very uncool game industry news, like Xbox’s price hikes on Game Pass & the EA buyout. Take the good with the bad on this edition of The Casual Hour!

Pierce and I watched Halt & Catch Fire for the new episode of Pilot Program. Heard a lot of hype for this cult classic, and it's debut mostly delivered.

We’ve got a stacked month of October to preview, with a little something for both Chase and Bobby to chew on. Plus, GameStop’s grading trading cards now? Oh brother. All that and more on this edition of The Casual Hour!

New Pilot Program alert! Pierce and I watched ESPN's The Bronx is Burning, a 2007 miniseries essentially lost to time. And neither of us is sure exactly why that is.

@gavinverhey.bsky.social While I doubt we'll ever see a downshift of Zoetic Glyph for pauper (a guy can dream!), I would like to propose Unctus's Retrofitter to go down to common at some point. Would love a nice partner for Kenku Artificer to animate Nutrient Blocks.

Bobby’s sick (not just of having to hear Chase talk about Super Robot Wars), but we’re able to press on and tell you about all the sick games coming out in September. It’s a month packed with sequels, remakes, early access 1.0s and brand new titles!

On the newest episode of Pilot Program, Pierce and I watched HBO's The Gilded Age, but somehow ended up talking about Dr. Seuss multiple times. Anyway, good show!

I'm so tired of talking about AI but also my entire job hinges on conversations about AI and I'm so demoralized and feel so gaslit and I am just deeply not okay.

We cover the recent censorship of Steam and itch’s storefront due to payment processor overreach, as well as discuss why this is bad for gamers and game makers alike and what you can do to fight back. It’s not all doom and gloom, Bobby’s played Wheel World!

Pierce and I are back with another episode of Pilot Program. This time, we went with the peak 2000s-era classic, MTV Cribs. If you love judging people's decor (and have a healthy dislike of Moby), this is the episode for you.

Excited to debut a new series for the YouTube channel -- introducing Re-Trenched!

I'm going back to one of my favorite Double Fine games that always deserved a sequel: Iron Brigade.

Thanks to @bob-omby.bsky.social for the fantastic thumbnail art!
