Our sidequest this week took us down (recent) memory lane to recap Extra Life 2025 and all the insanity, hilarity, and pain we experienced.

Our sidequest this week took us to the world of corporate mergers and acquisitions to talk about the terrible news that EA is being bought by Saudi Arabia. We also discussed XBox increasing Game Pass prices, some games to actually look forward to, and games we did a complete 180 on. It's not ALL bad news.

Our sidequest this week took us to the afterlife where Kojima wants to cast a ghost in his next game. We also chatted about Borderlands 4's performance issues (there may be a pill for that), and games that are good for some podcast or audiobook parings. Enjoy responsibly.

Our sidequest this week took us to PlayStation land to check out some PS6 handheld rumor, celebrate PlayStation's 30th anniversary, and look at some of the most popular PlayStation games of all time. We also talked about Nintendo's top ranked franchises, what skills we could take back to the medieval times in order to survive, and the difference between escapism and dissociation.

Our sidequest this week had us riding dinosaurs (with their permission of course). We also dug into the benefits of binge-gaming, failing cheaply, whether or not we own digital goods, and the surprising ages of video game characters.

Our sidequest this week found us sitting in a dark bathroom. We also got into some Nintendo Switch pricing news, some possible PlayStation 6 info, and how video games (and art) are inherently political.

Our sidequest this week took us to outer space to talk about real-life Xenomorphs, racoon city to discuss the new Resident Evil Game, and across the pond to talk about the idea of Tom Holland as Bond. Or Tom Bondland? Tom Hollbond? We also checked in on some Duke Nukem news and talked about how stupid and useless LLMs are.

Our sidequest this week took us to improv class! We also took a stroll through Concerned Ape's game factory to get an update on Haunted Chocolatier, stopped by PlayStation HQ to find out what's up with the PS Plus price hike, and journeyed to Ivalice to talk about the new Final Fantasy Tactics Remake! Unrelated, putting furniture together is the worst, yeah?

Our sidequest took us to Fortnite island (that's what it's called, right?) where we encountered racist, pottymouth Darth Vader. Then we ventured over to PAX East for some fantastic news about GiantBomb.com. Finally, we headed out to Wyoming to talk about Joel, Ellie, and The Last of Us. (spoiler alert, we love these games)

We took our sidequest to a galaxy far, far away this week to talk about robot curse words and George Lucas' descent into filmmaking madness. Then we turned our attention to some dark news regarding game cancellations, the Russian government seizure of a game developer, and some game coverage outlet layoffs (and individuals to support), but then we picked ourselves up with some fun hot takes and, of course, animal facts.

We sidequested the heck out of this episode. From TMNT to WWJD, next-gen consoles to current gen pricing woes, sad tofu to the Gobbledy Gooker, we did it all. Just listen, it'll all make sense.

Our sidequest this week took us to the land of neckbeards. No, not the modern cultural pejorative, but actual, literal neckbeards. Topics also on offer include pricing for the Switch 2, rumblings of a Xbox handheld, Copilot for gaming, and things we've learned from video games. Did you know we need air to survive??
