| 6/21/26 |  Days Gone | Murph gets his freak on with guest host Stephen so he can finally talk about the best 7/10 AAA-Mid game: Days Gone. Once a showcloser for Sony's 2018 E3 showcase, Days Gone is already slipping from public consciousness. It's a crude, generic open-world zombie survival game about a sad white man...and yet there's something special about it (at least Murph thinks that). At very least it has the Sawmill Horde fight.TIMESTAMPS00:41 - The Cold OpenWatcha Playin'03:09 - Marathon (2026)18:55 - Echo Point Nova (2024)27:10 - Titanium Court (2026)38:20 - 007: First Light (2026)51:00 - Tomb Raider Minute: Tomb Raider III (1998)Variety Minute1:01:15 - AAA Open-World GamesGame of the Week1:23:25 - Days Gone (2019)2:04:28 - Plugs & Farewells | 2h 08m 18s | ||||||

| 9/23/25 |  Hylics | Today we're gonna get *weird*. Murph and Bro cover an obscure punk rock RPG Maker game called Hylics.

| 9/11/25 |  Batman Arkham Asylum | It's time to feel like podcasters talking about Arkham Asylum.Bro and Murph suit up to talk about one of the landmark games for licensed titles.

| 10/31/24 |  Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem (with Thomas Wilde and Will Borger) | Fulfilling a promise set in stone eons ago (it was last year in the Crimson Butterflies episode) Thomas Wilde and Will Borger return to talk about Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. This cult hit on the gamecube was the sophmore follow-up from the team that created Blood Omen (ignore that half the switched studios to make Soul Reaver), Eternal Darkness was the first M-Rated game published directly by Nintendo. It's a mind-bending, globe-trotting, time-bending tale of eldritch horror never since attempted.
