Happy Holidays Cubies! We are back at it again with one of our favorites pass times here on GlitchCube. This week we are doing another we make a game episode. Where we find a game idea generator and expand on what is given to us to brain storm a game. How it would play, what the goals are and just how to make it fun. But this time we are throwing in an extra twist. To celebrate the holidays everything needs to have a Christmas them...

Hey there Cubies! This week we are celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Playstation! It is hard to believe that it has been 30 years already. From day 1 the Playstation has changed gaming and continues to do so today. We grew up with these consoles, running out day 1 to get them. They even made us fall in love with particular genres like RPGs. There have been amazing franchises that started close to 30 years ago that still inspi...

Hello Cubies! This week we are sharing an episode that really means a lot to us. It was one of the episodes that gave us fuel to our flame and really made us feel that we now know what we want to do and how we are going to do it. This cute, sad story of the Tamagotchi, a small pocket pet that was all the rage for many years. It was your very own digital pet you could carry on your belt loop or hang from your backpack. But did you k...

The nominees are out and its time to start looking back at all the amazing games we have played this year. The list for GOTY is very interesting this year. With games like Balatro breaking through the ranks and Elden Ring DLC making the list there is a lot to discuss here. What really is a GOTY, what makes them a contender. Also, for something cozy at the end so chatting about an RPG classic, Grandia!

Once again 2024 hits hard with more RPGs than the normal person can keep up with. Nintendo has given us Dragon Quest 3 finally and Chris is on cloud 9. For those that listen to the show you know that this series holds a special place in his heart. So, when this was announced we knew this was a "have to play" game. And it has not disappointed. The cozy-ness of a classic RPG just hits different with these classics.

It's should be no surprise to our listeners that RPGs are our thing. But Metaphor has completely blown us away on all levels. From the rich story to the deep mechanics and job like system it has captured our attention. Instead of flooding our feed with more Metaphor we decided to do a full spoiler free episode for you all.

The evolution of free to play games has changed drastically over the years. From gotcha games, to live service there are different styles out there that try to tap into our lizard brain and keep us playing or buying any random cosmetic that gets dropped. But there are some titles out there that tend to rub the fan base the wrong way, like server wipes every season with Once Human.

Happy Halloween! It's the spooky season and we have some great games for you. The genre of horror is so vast and really has something for everyone. With so many remakes out there it just makes sense that a classic like Silent Hill 2 sees a new audience. Or dive into delivery madness with Mouthwashing. Or are you looking for a real vibe? Why not try out the atmospheric horror of Stories Untold.

Chris chats about a new city builder with Manor Lords. Ever wanted to start your medieval city? Well now you can with this one. Flowstone Saga shows a new mash up to make some very interesting combat systems using tetris to fight in this new rpg. And Metaphor feels like a game we will be talking about for quite some time because there is just so much to love about this one. To tie it all up we have some movie for the spooky season ...

Hello Cubies! This is a blast from our past here with an episode to do spooky month proud. Way back in 2022 we released an episode of our favorite horror games and what made them special to us. So, with Christian out of the country we figured what better time then now to revisit this idea and what better time then a few weeks before Halloween!  ------------------ Hosts: Christian & Chris Don't forget to leave us a cheeky revie...

Feels like a broken record at this point but this has been a great year for games. And Atlus did something amazing, they released another demo (like Unicorn Overlord) that allows you to play a good chunk of the game. Just have to say that the demo does not disappoint, but rather really drives the point home that we will be diving head first into this one. Christian also has played a lot more of Bloomtown and for a game that has suc...

Some big hitters this week! We are digging through the back log a little bit here with Christian playing through the Mass Effect series for the first time ever. Exploring the vast worlds and rich story with fresh eyes is really fascinating.  Then we travel back to current times with the Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom. Finally we are able to play as Zelda with a very interesting mechanic to explore.  Then we chat about a new cozy...

Chris beat Astro Bot and we speculate on whats next for that franchise. Maybe a Kingdom Hearts inspired Sony-verse? And Dungeons Of Hinterburg asks the question of what wouldn't you do on a vacation. Magical portals open so why not plan a trip to fight monsters to decompress from your day to day life. But what beaches in games would you actually want to visit for a weekend getaway? ------------------ Hosts: Christian & Chris D...

Hello all! Before we get into Astro Bot Christian has a little chip on his shoulder that needed discussion. It is becoming much more common in games and media now but too many titles have little to no pay off at the end. You finish a story and instead of enjoying a twist, or witnessing a huge epic event, or just a good payoff the ending is spoiled half way through and nothing exciting happens. Its especially annoying with games you...

Hey there! Throughout media certain jobs have been made to look more appealing then they actually are. There is more drama and gun fights thrown in to add to the mystery of what the job actually entails. Whether is Indiana Jones surviving a nuclear blast in a fridge, or fighting a giant Trex in a cave like Tomb Raider the job has a lot of added flourish. But is this a bad thing? Is this just escapism at its finest. And how many peo...

We open hot this episode with some super great tech issues with Game Pass.  But dive head first into the world of simulation games with inZOI. If you have not seen this game it looks insane! The character creator alone is so realistic its slightly uncomfortable. While Christian was never one to get into these types of games, Chris helps him better understand the appeal of these fictional worlds.  ------------------ Hosts: Christian...

Coop is coming back in a hard way for us here at GlitchCube. Chris who is not a Avatar fan boy has been playing the game with a buddy, and only playing it coop and enjoying the game itself. With that there is also Remnant 2 to explore. While Christian continues down his path of long RPGs with Tales Of Arise next. So much to play and so little time.  ------------------ Hosts: Christian & Chris Don't forget to leave us a cheeky ...
