| 11/30/24 |  Sidequests - Episode 34: Cult of the Lamb | Eric looks for empathy in all the wrong places as he admits to playing Cult of the Lamb on PSN instead of buying it while Zack savors his prediction for how long Eric could resist buying a PS5 Pro. | — | ||||||
| 11/23/24 |  Sidequests - Episode 33: Silent Hill 2 and the PS5 Pro | Like a stubborn houseplant that refuses to die, Eric and Zack continue to patiently wait for Dan and Tom to water them with their presence by talking about Silent Hill 2 and pressuring each other to buy things they honestly don't need. | — | ||||||
| 9/14/24 |  Sidequests - Episode 32: Astro Bot and PS5 Pro | Eric and Zack ponder the most efficient way to leave this mortal plane before fawning endlessly over the masterpiece that is Astro Bot and ragging on the absurdity of the PS5 Pro. | — | ||||||

| 8/3/24 |  Sidequests - Episode 31: MoCon 2024 | It's that time of year again! Time for a bunch of grown men to descend upon St. Louis with no dietary restrictions, an overly-estimated tolerance for alcoholic beverages, and a complete disregard for any sort of budgetary constraints.

| 4/13/24 |  Sidequests - Episode 28: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Dragon's Dogma 2, Midwest Gaming Classic | We profusely apologize for cheating on MoCon with Midwest Gaming classic before very loosely breaking the seal on Final Fantasy VII Rebirth and discover just how much fun it is to have no idea what to do in Dragon's Dogma 2. | — | ||||||
| 2/24/24 |  Retro – Ep. 237 - Bulletstorm | Join us moose deep in the dick shed for a slide through the wet mess we've left behind from gushing over Helldivers 2, the Elden Ring DLC, and Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, all while stopping off for a trip through Bulletstorm. | — | ||||||
| 2/3/24 |  Sidequests - Ep. 27 - State of Play & Tekken 8 | We convene to talk about the recent Sony State of Play... and almost forget to talk about it as we get sidetracked by purchasing too many of one game, Tekken 8, MoCon planning, and Zack's steady march towards taking over Dan's coveted title. | — | ||||||
| 1/20/24 |  Retro – Ep. 236 - Ninja Gaiden Black | Thanks to Dan for killing the show with his horrible recommendation last year, we are once again cocked, locked, and back on the retro horse so Zack can finally gush over Ninja Gaiden Black. | — | ||||||

| 12/16/23 |  Sidequests - Ep. 24 - Arcade Cabs, Obscure Console Variants, Typing of the Dead, and Other Games | With Tom out of action from a cream induced migraine, Zack tells us all about his freshly shaven cave, we learn how to type properly from Typing of the Dead, discuss obscure console variants, and try to unravel the intricacies of two day weddings. | — | ||||||
| 12/2/23 |  Sidequests - Ep. 23 - Dan’s New PS5 and Modern Physics | Professor Dick Physics makes his long-anticipated debut, and Dan's back as well to discuss what we've been playing, what we're looking forward to, and the awful story of the demise of Dan's PS5. | — | ||||||
| 11/18/23 |  Sidequests - Ep. 22 - Recapping Some Gems (But Not Starfield) | Huh? What day is it?? Where have we been?! Are we still idiots...? Eric, Tom, and Zack reconvene to recap 4 months of gaming that includes such gems as Sea of Stars, Dave the Diver, 30xx, Mario Wonder, Gallon Cheesequake 2, Gran Turismo 7, and more before absolutely hauling off on the galactic disappointment that is Starfield. | — | ||||||
| 7/29/23 |  Retro – Ep. 235 - MoCon 2023! | Another year, another MoCon... but this time we are coming to you from the hotel room! (Fair warning, there are audio issues). Eric and Zack are joined by listeners Cody and Matt as we recap the weekend's exploits across St. Louis including yet another horrifying hotel room, a toddler beauty pageant, new Lord of the Rings heroes, Mega Man tinder swiping, and a very couth, yet revolting mattress. Oh... and buying games. LOTS of games. | — | ||||||
| 7/22/23 |  Sidequests - Ep. 21 - Waffle House, Tattoos, and More Final Fantasy XVI | Tom is back from a trip to get inked in the great American south (while managing to avoid Waffle House) to share more thoughts on Final Fantasy 16 and help us fine tune our hunting parameters for the impending descent upon MO Game Con. | — | ||||||
| 7/16/23 |  Sidequests - Ep. 20 - Tears of the Kingdom & Final Fantasy XVI | We fulfill an ancient prophecy that foretold of our inability to talk about anything other than Zelda and Final Fantasy games by sharing some final thoughts on Tears of the Kingdom before going full fanboy over Final Fantasy XVI. | — | ||||||
| 6/10/23 |  Sidequests - Ep. 19 - Tears of the Kingdom, Diablo IV, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth | Like a fine aged milk, we've separated long enough! Eric and Zack finally reunite to gush over Tears of the Kingdom, get all nostalgic with Diablo IV, and do their best to match Dan's levels of excitement for the latest Final Fantasy VII Rebirth trailer. | — | ||||||
| 4/23/23 |  Sidequests - Ep. 18 - Starfield, Mega Man Battle Network, & Horizon Forbidden West | Eric and Zack take a break from an absolutely brutal few weeks of retro gaming to share trepidations about Starfield, fail to catalog their games efficiently, revisit Horizon Forbidden West, look forward to Tears of the Kingdom, and spark world domination by failing to secure the secret documents stored within their ovens in Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection. | — | ||||||
| 3/5/23 |  Retro – Ep. 234 - Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance | There'll be no taking of DOOMPS here - Metal Gear Rising is the rarest of beasts: an actual good game that we've played on Factory Sealed! | — | ||||||
